    When I read your story I kept thinking that all these little words have behind them a huge story waiting to be told.
    You have accomplished a monumental task, one that many would never be able too!
    Please take this journey to the next level and share it with the world. I strongly believe the world needs to hear your words of wisdom and stop believing that it takes miracles or special shakes or expensive programs to be healty!!!
    You should be on TV as a true role model for getting healthy!

    I saw this once and I believe it applies to you:
    " there are two days that matter most in a man's life: the day he was born and the day he realized why!"

    Congratulations and best wishes to you and the family!

    Congratulations! That's truly amazing. I would say, though, and I'm pretty sure that your doctor would have agreed.... That at 400 pounds, getting the weight off ANY WAY YOU CAN is priority #1. Ultimately you're going to have to eat healthier, but those pounds are a deathtrap! So to people who are 400 pounds and losing weight on McDonalds: great job, keep going! There will come a point where you need to improve what you eat, but those pounds will kill you before the transfats do.

    It may be 80% diet, and 20% exercise, but it’s 100% mental.

    Agree 1000% Congrats on your weight loss. You look amazing.

    Congratulations to you, sir! And thank your daughter for asking you to post. I come to this section of MFP because I love reading about the success people have had and yours is one of the best I've seen! We are told constantly that we didn't become overweight overnight and it we won't lose all that weight overnight either. But sometimes we get discouraged when we don't see a change or don't see the scale move and that's why stories like yours are so important. It reminds us what sticking it out will do for us. Thanks for posting!
