    Absolutely awesome job!! I am going to use you as my inspiration (if you dont mind!!) - I started exactly 45 days ago after a visit to my Doctor and he highly encouraged MFP. I never heard of it prior to then. I am down 19 lbs as of this morning simply via calorie deficit and walk/jog intervals on the treadmill every weekend (5 miles on sat and 5 miles on sunday) - I guess that I am a weekend warrior - i have not been able to workout during week with work etc. but thats no excuse - gonna start now because of you and EVERYONE ELSE on here!! Thank you!

    This is what I needed to hear and see today, the first day of my new life style. Congrats all your hard work and I know you make it look easy, but I can guess that there were some very difficult times so I will take that with me and remember you, when I get to those times. The very best health for you in the future. You've earned everyone of those lost lbs.

    I am somewhat new to the site, the not too proud dieter for years who signs up for something but doesn't stick with it. As I just began exploring the full site, here I came across your success story. You are a true inspiration, and thanks for sharing, especially with all the process pictures. I have 120 lbs to lose, and I need to have hope as you have shown the journey is possible. Thanks!

    Fantastic!!! The belt story is great. I use that one too to give people a visual indication ... 8 notches tighter than my starting point, with 6 of them being new add holes.

    Amazing transformation. It is always great to see someone succeed from the point that you are starting, makes it feel real and achievable (with a lot of hard work and dedication).

    I started (again) at 44, 329lbs, I am down 33 as of this morning and very committed to following in your footsteps. Thanks for the story and the photos, inspirational indeed.
