    Congratulations Ed!
    I was thinking the same exact thing as I read the story. It is so inspiring! Brought tears to my eyes, too!

    Thank you for sharing this! I had bone-on-bone pain in my knee, too. I had surgery to clean it out in 2010 and have been having a hard time ever since. It's good to hear that you can bounce back from that. I'm only three weeks into my journey to a lighter me, but I'm feeling better already. Thanks!

    Watching someone like Ed do what he has done and continues to do, begs the question: What's MY excuse?
