...you already know how amazing you are but in addition to that...I just wanted to add that you have a gift for writing. I'm wondering if you are a writer.

Simply amazing! Congrats!!!! I have experienced everything except for the airplane, because I haven't flown in quite some time. But now I know I would be able to fit in the seat!

I have never experienced those things but I'm sure it has to be a rough way of life. Congrats to you on such a fantastic weight loss. You are such an inspiration for others to see that they CAN do it. Thank you for posting your message here.

Thanks for the motivation, you have renewed my hope. Even though I am slower than a turtle, if he does not quit, a turtle can be a winner too!

Wow!!! Thanks for all the kind words!! We are just taking it one day and one calorie at a time!! Down 101 now in the past 6 months, trying to keep it going until I reach goal and help out whomever else I can. Let's keep fighting tooth and nail until we get to where we want to and need to be.

For anybody who has ever started sweating bullets while walking onto an airplane wondering if their seatbelt would fasten or have to suffer the embarrassment of asking for a belt extender. Not to mention sitting with your arms folded the whole flight so as not to infringe on anyone else’s space. For anybody that has ever waited hours with their kid to get on a thrill ride in a theme park just to be turned around because the buckling mechanism wouldn’t fasten for you; having to disappoint your kid while walking back down through the line. Or the private pain of suffering through holding your breath long enough to tie your shoe, this may be comical to some but I’ve experienced it all. I’m here to say you can make a change. There’s no need for fad diets, gimmicks, purging, pills, or surgeries. With the right dedication you too through only diet and exercise can lose the weight. I promise after getting up to 363 lbs, I felt I was a lost cause but I found my motivation on 2/27/2012 and since then there has been no turning back! I’ve made a little progress but until I can go out to the pool with my kids and be “Shirtless and Shameless”, I’ll keep pushing. Good Luck to all My Fitness Pals that read this! Let’s Go!!

100% inspirational^^^^^!!! I've been through some of this myself. And yeah, it's hard work and sometimes ya think...gosh..this takes sooo long. But, as I once read, Nothing tastes as good as fit feels!!

Congrats on allll of your hard work!
