betsz1

Well hello there.. . You did a fantastic job of telling your awesome story...which should be a book...you know how I feel about that! You are such an inspiration...to me and to everyone who crosses your path. It's amazing to look at the pictures of your transformation! It's been so much fun to be along for the ride...watching you achieve goal after goal. You've become my best friend...and I need to thank you for helping me in so many ways. Especially encouraging me to try Spinning...which has become my favorite form of exercise! You are going to be THE best Spinning Instructor ever. As you know I'm part of the 50+ generation and I feel the same way about fitness classes....there needs to be someone like you to inspire us! Thank you for this forum post...it's going to touch a lot of peoples hearts and help them to realize that their dreams are possible....and very very achievable. Since we became friends in July 2012 I've become a different person thanks to you...you're the absolute best!! (((Big Hug)))

I a having doubts about reaching my goals, at my age, which is the same as you - by the way. Hearing about people like you gives me hope and motivates me to think maybe I can do this. Maybe I am not to old.

Don't have doubts, you can do it, you are indeed not too old.

Truly inspiring. Thank you for posting your story. I hope u do write that book. It would probably have better impact that some of the other diet and fitness garbage thats out there!

Congrats on your success and total life changing transformation! Very inspiring indeed. I tried spinning about 9 yrs ago when I first began to put on weight and I considered it a form of torture, but I may give it another shot . Congrats, again!

This is just fantastic! You took the tough road-- the road of work, risk, and change-- and it has taken you to a new place of health, friendship, and fulfillment. So many people complain that they just don't have the will or the means to change their lives. It all comes from within, doesn't it?

You should feel very proud-- justly so. Best of luck with your newly defined life!

Honestly, you look amazing! I want to show this to my dad to inspire his weight loss!

Very well done!

That is a wonderful story! I am very sorry to hear about your wife.

The day you decided to make a change was the day my dad had a heart attack. He was 55 and a severe diabetic. Two days later, we took him off of life support because he had been without oxygen for at least 30 minutes, and he only had a 3% chance of survival. He passed away two hours later. This was my second parent to die because of a heart attack. When my mom died in 2005, that is what sparked my weight loss journey.

Anyway, you are doing great things!

I'm sorry for your loss. I know how hard that is but at least you are using those dark moments to change your life for the better. They would be very proud of you.

Thank you!
