Thanks, bro

I was needing something like this! I am a long-time night eater... 8/3 Me = 0 LNS = 2 I will start tonight.

That hurts my feelings (and, yeah, I'm straight)

sure ;)

The brain catching up with my weight. It took me until a few months ago to not "feel" 400 pounds anymore. I still have lingering behaviors, like hiding my body behind the side of my coworkers' cubicle when I talk to them... Or putting on a pair of pants thinking, "These look too small..." when in reality they are loose on…

I know. It's a pretty heavy story (pun intended). I debated on putting it out there in such detail, but it is the truth and it definitely has an impact. Thanks! What more needs to be said?! :wink:

You can add me. Looking to help motivate and get motivation!

You can add me. :smile:

Incredible story! It has inspired me to try as well!

Add me as well. I have had great success on here and would love to share my thoughts.

Thanks! It still amazes me sometimes. I had a very touching moment the other day with a family member I hadn't seen in quite a while. She was literally stunned when she saw me. We hugged and for some reason I broke down crying on her shoulder saying, "I made it... I can't believe I made it..." You can only imagine how much…

Great job too! Yes, we CAN do it!

Divorce is in the top 5 of life stress events, so well done. I love your story. I have had similar experiences... many people who have known me for years walk right past me.

Wow. Thanks! My wedding was in 2004... 11 years ago this Friday!

My article "400 Pounds and Lost The Will To Live: How I Took My Life Back" talks a little about the shame and self-hate I carried. I tell this story because I personally know others who are in the same place. Knowing how I felt gives them hope for a brighter future. My vision is to help save people from this agony as…

Thanks. Yes, it feels good. I carried so much shame for the majority of my adult life. It takes a while for some of that to go away believe it or not. But the reality of where I am today is settling in. :wink:

Thanks, everyone. I FEEL amazing. :smile: Inside each of us is the potential to do GREAT THINGS.

You can see some pictures on my personal site: www.mikeinspiresme.com or my interview on ShapeFit.com. I promise I will try to get some more out there...

sure. go for it.

Nice job!!! Way to go!

I hate drive-through windows... or having people wait behind me...

yes! ChocoVine! ilfaith beat me to it!

sure, if you're reasonably sane... otherwise, you're on your own!

pass... sorry, not into dudes

nice
