Bump. Amazing pics.

that's quite an amazing talent. I've been skydiving once but was so terrified I wouldn't have even considered doing anything else besides scream! As a skydiving instructor -you should offer all your skydiver's options of spinning and twirling and flipping and depending on what kind of plane you go up in - zero gravity. I…

Dang KiltFu - your story sounds too familiar... glad to know I've got people out there.

Omigoodness. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! I cannot imagine that happening to me. Holy cannoli - that is a horror story to the max. Thanks for sharing, its made me feel a wee bit better, lol. :)

~~~This is the most hilarious thing i've seen on MFP in a while! Thank you people for making my morning! Although I must say, Channing Tatum AND Ryan Gosling are OUTTA THIS WORLD SEXY~~~ Including Robert Downey Jr, and friggin TOM HARDY (hellooo Bane and Warrior and Lawless.. yum scrum diddly um.)

This seriously blew my mind. I LOVE IT. Your post is so encouraging. Thank you so much for posting! I need to believe I can be a entirely different person in one year's time. It's possible!

Awesome story :) Thanks for posting! Glad you are overcoming your challenges and seeing improvement physically and emotionally! You rock.

Congratulations! I'm genuinely very happy for you. And I hope you are enjoying your new body and lifestyle. I will check out your blog for sure :)

So lovely :) Congratulations love.

I can't tell you all how HAPPY THIS POST MADE ME! I literally started getting emotional thinking about walking the distance to Rivendell from Bag End. Not to mention the Hobbit Films... oh this is so good. Geeks and NerdFighters to the end!

1) Hayao Miyazaki's: "My Neighbor Totoro" 2) Peter Jackson's: "Lord of The Rings Trilogy" 3) Tarsem Singh's: "The Fall"

Beautiful! Congratulations. You stuck with it and decided to make the change! Stunning!

Vampire Diaries and The Bachelor. Vampire Diaries is actually SO GOOD. I love it all sorts of ways! And The Bachelor is so amusing - I can't help but watch it for the crazy girls!

I know what you mean about still feeling fat. I felt fat when I was in high school at my skinniest (160) but now 5 years later I'm 250 and I wondered how I ever felt fat at 160! It's definitely all mental. Don't count yourself out or tell yourself nothing is worth it and it doesn't look like you've lost anything. Because…

you look fantastic!

Awesome job! So inspiring. You look really good! Glad you posted this (despite being nervous) - we all need the success stories, they keep us going!

Wow - amazing! Good job! You look so great! Congrats on having the courage to make a change in Jan 2011 to do what you did, and to find out who you were. That literally was a life-transforming experience. Awesome.

Just noticed your Bob Ross ticker - haha - love it! Thanks for bringing back a piece of my childhood.

That's a good one! I saw Ben Rector perform that live in Austin, TX - his rendition is so awesome! Check it out :)

Also a newbie. Joined today! For the month of August I am going to try for 40 miles.
