An inspiring story!

This is not my story but one discovered and posted by a friend that I found incredible and inspiring.

I was never myself at the point that many of you have been at or are at when you start/started your journey but I have many family members who are. They and maybe you think they can't possibly better themselves the way I did because I had so much going for me already when I started. (Example: "But you only had to lose 50lbs to get where you are! I have bad knees/back/joints/whatever and at least 100 lbs to lose!) The gentleman in this story had this and more to deal with but succeeded despite it all.
