    Sorry to hear of your wife's passing :( But your story and your success thus far will certainly serve as an inspiration to many! Your buddy probably saved your life, but in the end it came down to you making the decision to make a change. Keep going down that right path and you'll reach your destination in no time at all.

    I'm so glad you took a RIGHT turn, and now are going stronger than ever!!

    Inspiration can be such a difficult thing.....and your loss surely would give anyone an "excuse" to want to stop living and enjoying life. But life does go on..........no matter what happens to us. I am sure that those who are in your life are proud of your success because you are a living example that life CAN change, and a person CAN get past the grief and pain of loss.

    Congratulations - God bless you on your journey :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    I just wanted to say, "Thank you." For several reasons, I had decided to blow off my workout this afternoon. But then I stumbled upon your post and was inspired by your story. Got up off my butt and worked out. Feel tons better. Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring me to keep going!
