    Great Job Brandon!! You give me a lot of motivation. It does get tough when people pick at you for trying to be healthy- Its good to know other people struggled with the same things... I'm very impressed by your hard work!

    You did and are doing an awesome job! You look like a whole new person. I can relate to being called crazy for calorie counting. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey with us.

    You deserve so many props and on so many different levels that I almost don't know where to begin!!!!
    First of all, congrats on completing the 13.1.... That is something to truly be proud of!!!!!
    Secondly, big congrats on your weight loss and you do sorta kinda look like a different person now compared to your before photo but you can tell it's you in both.
    Thirdly, thank you for being an inspiration to me!!!!! I'm a 4-day old noob who needs all the motivation he can get.

    again, congrats! you help me keep my *kitten* in check if you can believe that. i suppose i facebook creep (but only a little and only enough to see if you're still on track, which is what helps me stay on track as well. for serious.)

    You look amazing, I went through a similar thing, up and down with yo-yo dieting. I am training for my first half-marathon now and you are such an inspiration. You look incredible, not that you didnt look good before! Congratulations on all of your accomplishments!! Your story is very motivating!!

    What a great story! I can totally relate. Thank you for your post!

    This summer my Dad ran 1/2 a marathon and this weekend he will run a full marathon!
    I don't know what more I need as motivation and inspiration.
    There's always that point where you look into the mirror and you don't even recognize yourself anymore.
    You aren't comfortable in your own skin and the food just isn't worth it anymore.
    I WILL run my first 1/2 marathon with my dad and my first full marathon at that! :)
    Maybe not this weekend but it will happen in 2012!
