    You have made an awesome transformation, both physically and mentally. I'm sure a lot of smokers think they can't give up and get fit- what a shining example you are! And let's not forget your brave wife who kickstarted the whole process by quitting. Good on her too!

    Congratulations!! What an inspirational story. I LOVE the way you never let anything stop you. What's that old saying? "If you can't run - walk. If you can't walk - crawl. But ALWAYS keep pushing forward."

    Thank you for this. I've been a start/stop girl for months now, and now that I'm on the 'start' position again, I intend not to stop again. I'd rather crawl than ever give up on myself again. This is something I truly needed to hear.

    Keep truckin, brother! We're all here for you ^_^

    Terrific story! Thank you for sharing! I quit smoking 3 years ago (26 years at 1 pack a day +). I ran my first half marathon last year, although my time was what most do for a full. I don't care, because every pound off gives me more days with loved ones.

    Thank you for being inspiring. Truly
