For those of you who feel that everything is out of your reach and that things feel impossible, here is a primary example of how anything is possible if you choose to believe in yourself first and foremost. Very motivating...if THIS is possible, our weight loss journey's pale in comparison as unobtainable dreams...

    Oh my god, I cried, and then I watched it a second time and cried again, and had to post it to FB.. the most inspirational thing I have ever seen, and I thought I'd seen some doozies! I saved this video, because I think I should watch it whenever I need motivation and encouragement not to give up.. I think that man is amazing, and I feel so wonderful for him.. I watched another video of it, except Diamond Dallas Page added in a voice over that on top of everything else, Arthur is a husband, father, and works 70 hours a week as a special education teacher and administrator.. how cool is this guy??

    Thanks! That was awesome! The other night I was at the Hollywood Bowl (saw Coldplay who did the background song for that video) and ended up walking 5 miles back to the hotel....last year I couldn't walk a 1/2 mile downhill! USE IT OR LOSE IT!!!
