Irving:
I weigh 312 right now and I'm not even approved yet, so I am definitely a "newbie," but I say THANK YOU and WAY TO GO! Sharing your photographs is definitely an inspiration to me. I am sure it wasn't easy for you, but you persevered...To paraphrase author William Faulkner, you "not only survived, you prevailed," Brother! You are awesome and I have a lot of respect for anyone who maybe had a "fat ass" once, but now is running three miles a day and doing resistance work to tone up! You're one of many heroes and heroines I have encountered here at TT.
WAY TO GO! and Thanks! You did this for YOU (and likely also for people whom you love and want to keep on loving) NOT for a 'fat ass' like me....but I gotta say "thanks" for the grit and perseverance that I find so inspiring!
