    Wow Brian, what an inspiring story! Way to go! I wish you all the best with your marathon, and with your friend. What a wonderful coincidence for the two of you to have found one another! <3

    Outstanding transformation. Addition of resistance (weight training) will add a new dimension to your transformation. It is great that you had a friend that was a true friend and not an enabler.

    dude you're seriously awesome! i love it. i watched your youtube video too :] jackie sounds like she was exactly what you needed to start you on your fantastic journey. YOU LOOK GREAT! for having lost that much weight you really do look like a completely different, young and healthy person. you should be very proud!! i quit smoking pot cold turkey five years ago with the help of my boyfriend and while i didn't suffer physical withdrawls i definitely did mentally. you're such an inspiration and i really admire that you didn't make excuses and got the job done. i'm so happy i read your story :]

    Your story really spoke to me. I feel like I wasted the past 7 years of my life with depression. I feel so mad at the world and at myself. I'm applying myself now, working hard and trying to move past the pain and regrets.

    Thank you for sharing your incredible and inspiring story. How wonderful that someone on the other side of the world, got you started on your journey! I have found a lot of support, encouragement, friendship from lovely people on MFP, even though we may never get to meet in person. You were correct in saying that the meals in your country are quite large compared to others, my grandson married and moved to CA from here ( Australia), he has gained quite a lot of weight with breakfast burritos and the like...
    the fast food companies here are getting into the supersize mode as well which is a worry with kids becoming obese.
    I am about to go and watch your youtube video now. Good luck for the future, you are AWESOME!!

    Wow! I got warm all over while reading your story. If only everyone had a "Jackie" in their lives. Please do go back to school to pursue your dream because those with depression and anxiety can definitely benefit from this. Keep sharing your story. This is amazing!
