    It's been 10 months since I last lost weight. I get discouraged so often. But I keep going. You know why?

    I've been wheelchair bound 3 times. Now I can run.
    I had all of the muscles in my chest cut and my right lung collapsed due to surgery. I wasn't able to use my right arm for several months, just kept it crossed over my incision. I can now deadlift 100lb and squat 120lb.

    Yes, I'm not so happy about the weightloss. But I'm ecstatic about the other side effects.

    Lemon, thanks so much for this post. It's people like you who are really here for the right reasons, doing the right thing, and kicking a** every day. It's so refreshing to see someone motivating themselves, instead of constantly needing validation from others. You are awe inspiring and I'm honored to know you.

    See that's what I told my crush. I said "I'm not a quitter" She said "I know you're a stalker"?!?! Some people just don't see drive and determination when it's in their face!

    How do you record calories burned while climbing trees to look in windows, anyway?
