It just so happened that I looked at MFP today (January 9) and came upon your story! I am thinking of you as you run your marathon today! Congratulations, you are an inspiration to all of us!

Thank you so much for your inspiring story. I really needed to be inspired today, I am having a difficult time getting myself on track and I agree with you that we do make it more difficult than it should be putting barriers up at every turn. Make it easy, that is going to be my new mantra! I look forward to other posts…

Keep up the good work!

Congratulations on your weight loss and your choice to not have surgery. I too have often thought of having the surgery but have decided not to. Thanks for the optimistic outcome of just doing it yourself, you have inspired many people!

I am so inspired by you! I too was told that I have diabetes about one and a half years ago and I wish I had jumped on the wagon and started taking control like you did. After hearing that you did it, I feel that I would be able to do it too. Thank you for your post, I want to give that diabetes back to wherever it came…
