    "I’m NOT special in any way. If you’re just starting your journey, please know that it can be done by the ungifted, untalented, and ordinary."

    You truly are a special person. It takes willpower and determination to do what you did, bravery to admit your weaknesses, and a desire to help others to share your story. That's special, a gift, talent, and extraordinary if you ask me!

    Thanks for sharing your story!

    I love this site because of people like you. You show that with dedication and believing in yourself goes a long way. You have no idea how inspiring your story is. It is so nice to read something like this. I get tears in my eyes and such a nice feeling about life in general.

    It's amazing how much weight you've lost and that you did it all by yourself. Thank you so much for sharing and congratulations on all that you have accomplished.

    Thanks guys. I don't know how many pages had to be dug through to resurrect this thing but since it's back here's my before and current pictures.

    Before at 357 lbs on the beach and with the family.

    And more recent at 225.

    It's been 15 months now and the weight loss has definitely slowed compared to the begging, but it's still coming off. :-)
