    Love this- almost identical to my husband's journey into running. Although he didn't have 120 to lose, he did lose 60 but gained back his life. Thanks for sharing and I passed it on to our friends and running community!

    Maybe he lost the relationship because he was sad? Rather than
    she left because he was heavy. Curious.
    Otherwise, WHAT A DISH!! Before AND after!

    I think that is what he was saying... in many ways its a vicious cycle... you are heavy and it impacts you physically and mentally. The only thing you can do is to do something....

    Really cool video.

    I gotta say that I have been feeling HORRIBLE about myself and while I don't have that much to lose, the weight I do have to lose (initially 20 lbs but eventually 40lbs) is enough to make me depressed. I know what that is to be so sad that you just lose everything and everyone you love. This was a GOOD motivational video. I feel happier having started this journey then I have in a very long time.

    Thanks Sara for posting it.
