    When we have gathering here at our house, there is no buying chips and crap food, We prepare healthy food, and if you don't like it well you will go hungry or you'll have to stop at McDonald's on the way home. lol...Until they are ready to admit that they do you can scream until you are blue in the face and it will do no good... I know all to well...... Sorry so long.....

    Amen brother, on both accounts. I got up to 423 pounds before I had that "Aha!" moment where I just had to do something about it. I was/am uncomfortable with myself, and like you, I refused to have surgery because I know I can fix this myself, especially since I did it to myself. This is truly an inspiring story and thank you for sharing it. I've been doing the treadmill thing because I still can't get over my own phobias of being in the pool to do the aquatic workouts, but I do want to get to those because they're so much easier on the body. How did you overcome that part of your challenge?

    im very glad to see this!

    i wish everyone would get that "Aha!" moment, being physically active and aware of food intake is so important even if weight loss isnt necessary.

    you have done an AMAZING job and you are definitely a great inspiration!!

    Absolutely phenomenal! I can't congratulate you enough for all of your hard work! I really respect that you started with therapy to try to fix what was going on in your head-- you are so right that the body transformation follows the mind transformation! Keep up all your amazing dedication-- so proud and inspired!

    Your story is very motivating! I have 75 pounds to lose, and it sometimes seems like an insurmountable goal. But seeing your loss of 281 pounds, all without surgery, makes 75 seem reachable. Thank you so much for sharing your story and your pictures! If anyone says they can't do it, they just need to look at you and they'll know they can!

    Congratulations to you! You've done a remarkable job. You are living proof that you don't need crazy diets or pills or surgery to do this! You should be very proud of yourself!
