    Great story and weight loss! It really amazes and inspires me to see someone lose that much weight when I struggle to just get 30 pounds off. Keep it up. You are looking wonderful!

    WOW! That is so awesome! I was REALLY sedentary, and could barely move, and my knees were failing when I started also, so you give me hope that it won't be this way forever. I am currently in an epic battle with an elliptical myself...started at 2 minutes, have worked up to 7min/.25 miles on it after a few weeks, and my next goal is 10 minutes..I was not sure if I would ever be able to get up to 30 minutes, and I was getting frustrated about it, but you have inspired me to keep at it and let me know that I WILL get there. WTG!!! Thanks for sharing and giving me some much needed inspiration!!

    Your story really pulled at my heart strings. YOU ARE AWESOME!!! I think it is so amazing what people can do for each other. It's so sweet of you to post his picture and give him that credit - but give yourself credit too. Can't wait to see your next post. <3

    This spring, as the weather has turned, we started doing something I never thought I'd be able to do again - Jogging. Short distances right now, but Joe and I have big plans for this summer. I've lost a total of 75 lbs (since tipping the scales at 420) and somewhere around 40 inches all over my body.

    I have a lot more weight to lose (My goal is 200 lbs, for now, and I'm at 343.8 as of the pictures below) but 75 is still pretty good. I'm finally starting to see the differences in myself, which was another thing I've struggled with. So without further ado, here are some pics.

    Congrats to you on your perseverance and dedication!!! You're doing an amazing job and I am so glad you found such a wonderful trainer. I actually got a little teary eyed reading your story. I love that you refused to let your knees get in the way of you trying to get healthy. You're an inspiration =)

    PS,

    There's so much more story behind all of this. like the fact that I've always been big, was diagnosed with PCOS in the summer of 2005, have struggled with depression, social anxiety, and severe body Dysmorphia (sp?) But It all comes down to this - I'm not giving up. I have God on my side, an amazing husband, awesome friends, A Trainer who believes in me and constantly pushes me to new heights...

    And I have all of you!! Every single one of you inspires me every day. You all make me laugh, cry, you inspire me, you share your ideas, your stories, your wins and loses, and without you all, I just don't know how I would keep going.

    So I want to send a big thank you to every single person here, on MFP.

    Keep up the good work, and Use every opportunity as a moment for change.
