you are amazing.

This is insane!!! Amazing work!

I am crying tears of joy for you after reading this and seeing your before and afters. Wow! I am blown away and so motivated now! Thank you so much for sharing this. You are truly amazing!

Your story is amazing. Thank you for sharing your personal story.

You are an amazing, wonderful man.

Like everyone else, all I can say is WOW! When I was at my heaviest (300lbs), I hated shopping too. I'm still not thrilled with it (CW 229lb) The way you write, I felt like you were writing about me (even though I'm a woman) with the styles, sweating, and back aching.

You have come such a long way! Very impressive! Congratulations to you and you're new life.

YAY YOU!!! :happy:

You are such an eloquent writer! Reading your story not only touched my heart...it was as if the words were pouring out from my own heart. I understand and relate to everything you've written!

When I was thin, shopping was a treat. I loved pulling all of the beautiful, stylish clothes off the size 6 and 7 racks and knowing they'd fit perfectly. I also loved the attention I got when wearing those clothes. These days as I lumber toward the size 24W racks, it's the farthest thing from a treat that I could imagine. And the attention I get? Well, it's sure not complimentary. Like you did, I look forward to the freedom of shopping in regular sizes again and having a style---any style--other than fat and dumpy.

Thank you for sharing your story. It truly is inspirational! I'm thrilled for you, and I wish you continued success and happiness! You really deserve every moment of it! You're phenomenal!

Such an incredible transformation! :flowerforyou: I actually read the entire post and it was touching, inspiring, and just downright awesome. Congratulations!

Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing, such an inspiration! You look fantastic & I am sure you earned it with tons of hard work! Way to go... & best of luck with keeping that hot new bod!
