    Unbelievable! My jaw just dropped with the absolute transformation! You should ABSOLUTELY pat yourself on the back, toot your own horn, give yourself a round of applause. You OBVIOUSLY worked hard, made a lot of sacrifices, and stayed faithful to your choices AND IT SHOWS! Rock on brother!

    I am in awe. Glad I found your post today. My new life begun today in the morning with a doctors visit. Then I bought a treadmill and signed up here. I am going down and I will like it :-)

    Great job! You are an inspiration to me. I am at my highest weight and am considered morbidly obese. I qualify for lap band but talked myself out of it. I know this isn't a quick fix. It's a long road and I'm just starting it. Thank you for sharing your story it keeps me motivated!

    WOW Its a good thing that you changed your eating habits around. If you hadn't you probably wouldnt be here today. Keep up the great job. I can really relate to one thing and that is about just getting something out of your system like those few fries or chips. I do the same thing. Like tonight I was slicing a piece of marbled pound cake for my husband while I was getting a yogurt for myself and I would of rather had that pound cake. But I cut a paper-thin sliver and ate it. I just need the flavor in my mouth and then I was good with eating the yogurt. This way you dont feel like you are missing out.
