    He was obviously sent to bring you a message :-) Good luck to you - yes - you can do this - and it will change your life forever....

    There will be hard days, but just remember to get back on that treadmil, or lift those weights and put in the hard yards and your reward will be super sweet :-)

    It's pretty crazy how the two of you ran into each other and were there like that. You were able to hear his story and yet share it with all of us. That truly is inspiring. Thank for sharing!!

    There is nothing more motivating than this: the 75 year old man RUNNING at a 7.5 speed and a 6.0 incline next to me. As we both got off the treadmill at the same time he asked if he could speak with me and pulled out his wallet. We sat down at a table as he showed me a picture of him and his granddaughter 5 years ago, her about my age then, he 767 pounds and her 398. With tears running down his face he showed me another picture of him walking her down the aisle 2 months ago. He is now 215 and she is 150. With more tears he says"I dont even know you but you remind me of my granddaughter, and I couldnt miss walking her down the aisle because I was killing myself slowly and didnt even realize it." I was wearing my cross and fish necklace so he asked if he minded if he prayed woth me. For 10 minutes we sat holding hands in the gym praying for the life I have ahead of me. As we were both wiping tears from our face, he told me to just keep going and when i dont want to, to remember him.This is a man I will NEVER forget.

    Tears just ran down my fface. This is a great story!

    This is amazing. It was no accident that you were on a treadmill next to him. God put you two next to each other for a reason.
