    For anybody who has ever started sweating bullets while walking onto an airplane wondering if their seatbelt would fasten or have to suffer the embarrassment of asking for a belt extender. Not to mention sitting with your arms folded the whole flight so as not to infringe on anyone else’s space. For anybody that has ever waited hours with their kid to get on a thrill ride in a theme park just to be turned around because the buckling mechanism wouldn’t fasten for you; having to disappoint your kid while walking back down through the line. Or the private pain of suffering through holding your breath long enough to tie your shoe, this may be comical to some but I’ve experienced it all. I’m here to say you can make a change. There’s no need for fad diets, gimmicks, purging, pills, or surgeries. With the right dedication you too through only diet and exercise can lose the weight. I promise after getting up to 363 lbs, I felt I was a lost cause but I found my motivation on 2/27/2012 and since then there has been no turning back! I’ve made a little progress but until I can go out to the pool with my kids and be “Shirtless and Shameless”, I’ll keep pushing. Good Luck to all My Fitness Pals that read this! Let’s Go!!

    Congratulations!! You have done absolutely amazing and your post nearly made me tear up. I could relate so well to your experiences. Its time for a lifestyle overhaul! Thank you for sharing. :)

    holy cow you look fabulous! Go shirtless and shameless now! I am having a hard time staying motivated due to some setbacks in the last 6 months but reading your story (yes I've had almost all of those same problems except I REFUSE to get on an airplane at all) and your story gives me new faith that it can be done. Thanks for sharing!

    I'm only 20 years old, and have gotten close to being turned around on amusement park rides, and it's the most humiliating feelings ever. It's awful that I don't even want to go to amusement parks anymore (despite LOVING them) because I'm afraid I just won't fit. The amount you have lost is so impressive, congratulations!
