      this is truly amazing. I've never been more than 35 lbs overweight so I can't relate to the effort you had to put in to accomplish this. I argue that anybody who needs to lose weight should just hang out in this forum and read the success stories. If you can't be motivated by the strong positive people then you are simply lost. Good damn work!

      Actually, one of my best friends told me the same thing when I sent him a link to this post.. :-)

      Thanks man! I hadn't share this, but I had another friend that went down a similar path as me and I found it to be truly inspirational. His could have easily been another story in these forums, so I can definitely agree with you! Being in good company always brings out your best!

      Congratulations on turning your life around! Very inspiring. Funniest line of the story: "Much bacon was consumed...."
      Humor (especially laughing at yourself sometimes) makes everything better! :-)

      Awesome! Can't put what you did into a pill...it has to come from within!

      On another note, I have noticed how much younger people look when they loose significant weight. You look great...many years younger.

      Enjoy the marathon.

      What a fantastic achievement!! I am also building up on my runs and like you was surprised that I could run 5ks. I did 6ks yesterday and it feels awesome. Your story is encouraging me to continue with it. Thanks for sharing :-) Well done.

      Congratulations on such an epic achievement!! Thank you so much for sharing your story - it's exactly what I needed. I am just starting on my challenge of losing weight and your story might as well as have been me writing it because that's how I feel now. I have noone but myself to blame and now I am so angry and determined to kick myself out of this depressing state and hopefully by the end of this year, I will be writing a success story like yours:)...thanks again for inspiring us to keep on fighting!!

      You look fantastic as another poster said you look way much younger than in your first pic. Thanks for posting your story on here it is inspirational and just shows what people can do when they decide to take control of the food they consume and to realise that we all need some exercise in our lives. Well done :)
