It CAN be done!!!
 

I just want to post a link to the pictoral weigh loss journey of a former co-worker of mine. This is extremely inspiring. Jim has lost over 300 lbs by diet and exercise alone. That man deserves a big pat on the back!

I can't believe how quickly he dropped his weight! He looks great :cool:

That's amazing and inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

Melanie :D

That is f*ing amazing!!! He looks incredible!

Wow...Lots of motivation there. Geeze those 550 and 600 are SCARY, SCARY, SCARY. Egads. Especially the outdoor one. I hope there was not permanent damage on joints and such. Many congrats on him getting it under control. Makes my journey back down look very doable almost easy.

Talk about taking ownership for a problem. Amazing kudos for doing it the right way, or at least the most healthy way, diet and exercise.

How Did He Lose His Weight? Did He Have Surgery?

no- he did it by diet and exercise alone. If I didn't know him, I might question that, but I don't see Jim being dishonest about it at all. He started out by walking and he stopped eating junk and brought his meals to work from what I understand. I didn't work with him when he started losing the weight, but my husband did. I quit work when he was at his highest weight. It's amazing isn't it? And he's a truly nice guy too so I am very happy for him.

Thank you for posting that link to Jim's pictures. I'm absolutely floored at his transformation. Talk about inspiring!

What really struck me, aside from the sheer amount of weight he took off, was the change in his eyes throughout the process. It's almost like I could see the twinkle getting bigger and bigger throughout his scrapbook, ending in that beautiful beaming smile. Seeing those photos made my day.

Zowie!!!
 

WHOA. What an astounding man! Great work!

I'm floored...

Definitely adding him to my bookmarks whenever my inspiration needs a kick in my big butt!

Thank you very much for sharing :)

Completely off topic here, but...

ooooo- BerkshireGrl, I LOVE your haircolor! You don't have to say if it is your natural color, but if I had to guess I would say that it is. No matter what I do I can't get that color from a bottle :-( But hey- if it isn't natural and you wanna share your secret I'm all ears :-D

Wow!! How inspiring!! Stupendous and the fact that he did it without bypass surgery!!! Oh my goodness awesome!!

What an amazing journey he has made. It shows it can be done with alot of hard work. Great job Jim! You look awesome and you must feel great.

What can you say??
 

To copy everyone else's word, and for lack of a better one, that is AMAZING! He looks great and soo much happier! What an inspiration - thanks!

thats amazing, I also know someone who weighed 505 lbs- and now weighs 189- through a dr approved liquid diet for about 9 months and then healthy eating, and ha snot gained it back.

WOW!!! That gives me a lot of hope that I can lose weight too.

wow..that is an awesome success story..and I do too love them dimples.

where did all his skin go? He looks awesome! (is he single? just kidding, just wanted to throw that in)

That's great! Good job to him, I was like WOW when I saw he dropped 150 pounds between two pictures. Good for him!

WOW!! So inspirational. Does he have a personal website regarding his weight loss?
