    i hope you don't mind, but I've shared your story on my "wall" to help a friend who's struggling with motivation

    No, of course not. I hope it helps your friend find motivation!

    Awesomeness beyond description.

    And no magic pills or anything involved, just not stopping till you reached your goal.

    True there are no pills, no magic nice that'll make the weight come off. (Until they figure out a way to bottle focus and will power)

    Well thank you. I wish I had done a little better on the narration, but I did say what I wanted to.

    Wow, thank you. I read that and teared up, thankfully I was at the gym so I could blame the sweat.

    That is truly incredible and very inspiring. Bet it feels good to be alive and able to do so much more.

    It does, it really does. My new gym is 2 miles from my house. I jogged there yesterday. My trainer asked if I was counting it as cardio, my reply was ' no, just my preferred method of transportation.
    Love your awesome response to your trainer. You are an inspiration. Congratulations!!
