    Your story is a great read. I absolutely agree with your "don't quit" mantra, and for the first time in my life, I'm not quitting.

    Progress feels great and I'm sure that meeting the ultimate goal will feel even better.

    Amazing! Really amazing and awe inspiring. Way to go, you've come such a long way. The rest of the things you do is going to look easy and feeble in comparison.

    Losing over 200 pounds was incredibly difficult for me but looking back on it the key to sustainable weight loss is simple – Never quit. I decided that no matter how hard things got I wouldn’t give up. No matter the temptations, no matter the obstacles, no matter the struggles – I wouldn’t quit. I knew that in past efforts I would let a bad day turn into a bad week. I would let a bad week turn into a bad month. I would let a bad month turn into a bad year. I decided that I wouldn’t let a bad today be a bad tomorrow.

    I woke up each morning with a promise to myself that for just that one day I would control my eating and live a more active life. For just that one day I would forget yesterday regardless of how bad it was and focus on being better today. Then at the end of the day, regardless of how that day went, I would go to sleep with the plan to make the same promise the next day. Then I did.

    Thank you for reading and good luck on your way to better health. Believe in yourself, because you can do it, and never, ever give up.
    This is my mantra too!! You are absolutely amazing and I am grateful to have watched you enter the century club and then went to the 2nd century!! You had plateaus, you had problems in life and most of all you had determination to never give up and that is exactly what it is all about, never ever giving up!! Success is never giving up and you are a perfect example of never giving up and not letting life get in the way. You are my hero!! Thanks for sending me the link and letting me be inspired to follow your example. I remember when you were "FatGuy450", Well buddy you are no longer the FatGuy!!! Whooohooo!!! Congrats Kevin and keep up the good work!!

    I think this paragraph says it all. Thanks for sharing your incredible story. I wish for your continued success and health.
