    Holy heck...absolutely AMAZING!! Not only should you be proud, but you should do all you can to get your story out there more so more folks who think there is no turning back and no hope can realize that it can be done with the right determination. I can only imagine how difficult it has been, but you have just inspired the heck out of me!!

( well not all the time...lol) But I am truely Living Life and Loving it!!! God Bless and stay strong.....Stay active!

    FANTASTIC and inspirational! Congrats to you for sticking with it and making it to the goals you set!!! Wish you nothing but happiness in your new life!!!

    Your stats... 490 lbs and 68" waist to 295 lbs and 44" waist...that was enough to make my mouth drop. But I looked at the pic and said "NO WAY is he 295 pounds. Glad I read this.
