    Congratulations! My weight loss is NOWHERE as dramatic as yours, but I've noticed I don't have all the aches and pains I used to have. I can't even imagine what it's like for you!:smile:

    Congratulations! What an affirming piece. So many of us have felt what you have and somehow found the strnegth to get up and move and change our eating habits. It's good to see someone go as far as you have and actually participating in Iron man competitions. Hold your head high.:flowerforyou:

    Mark, you and Anita really inspired me (I love her list from her doctor!) I find I need to make sure I eat every 4 hours (usually keep going with a piece of fruit and an oz of nuts) since my insulin resistance makes me hypoglycemic. I find a lot of exercise hurts right now, so I take it easy. Intend to keep going with this weight loss then find something that makes me move. I wanna be more like you.
    I want to ride on a ride with the teenagers in my life, instead of sitting on the sidelines. That part got to me in your story. :embarassed:

    What an amazing story and it's all because of your hard work, determination and desire. I'll be coming back to your story and Anita's many times as I embark on this journey as well. Keep up the good work and when you cross that Ironman line you know you have thousands on MFP cheering you on!!!
