    I'm still picking up my jaw from the floor after seeing your "after" pics. What a transformation, my friend. You gotta post a profile pic of yourself with a HUGE smile! Your kids are so proud of their dad and so are we on MFP. Hooray for YOU!!

    This is great! You did so well the pictures show it all. I have already started but now off to the treadmill instead of procrastinating on that (my difficulty.)

    Congratulations on your weight loss. Your story and the accompanying pictures are very inspirational. I hope you never have to sit out of activities with your children again.

    Don't start tomorrow. I spent 10 years starting tomorrow. Start today.

    I especially love this line. It is so true, and directly and concisely attacks the procrastinating, negative attitude that so many people have. It actually makes me tear up a bit. Weight loss really isn't that hard once you get started and commit to it, and this line can apply to any aspiration someone might have-- applying for college, writing a book, starting a business.... Start today!

    You have inspired many, thanks for sharing. I need to start again and keep at it, slow and steady and not give up and get lazy. Your pictures are amazing. I am sure you feel wonderful compared to before.
  • Nice job!! You are a great person to emulate. Thanks.

    Love this. 200lbs is like the DMZ for me - you just don't go there... :-)

    What an inspiration your story has been thus far. I started out in August at 462 lbs, since then I have lost 70 lbs as of the end of December. I hope it's me posting a story this great a year from now!

    @IrZeo - I saw your original post (may have commented on it, not sure) and I think you are doing great. Keep it up.

    good work! you look fantastic!
  • Your story is fantastic and a great source of motivation and inspiration.

    Your whole attitude has rubbed off on me and I have adopted your stunningly true statement, "I spent 10 years starting tomorrow. Start today."

    I quit smoking an little over an hour ago - posted on Fitness and Exercise.

    You should trademark that statement. Best thing I ever read on here.

    Thank you so much, and congratulations on your own success.
