It's important to remember that your weight loss is so much more than just trying to look good! Burn that fat, be healthy, and feel good!

    Are these images of actually people? Amazing! Look at the images of the ankles,and to a lesser degree the knees, of the first person. It explains why so many overweight people have joint pain and difficulty walking. All the motivation I need.

    Yes, this is a real body scan. So often, we just concern ourselves with how we look or how we fit in our clothes. It's striking to consider what obesity does to our organs, our skeletons, etc.

    Here's a link with more on the dangers of excess abdominal fat:

    And this is probably why my back has been feeling much better since I hit the 120s!

    You can tell how much the extra weight is messing with posture and how hard that is on joints.

    It is not surprising at how much better I am feeling getting all that weight off of my body.
    How much easier it is just to move around now. My knees feel so much better and where it hurt to just walk a year ago I can now exercise everyday.
    Thank you for posting this. It can be inspirational for so many.
