Hey Buddies, need inspiration watch 20/20 In touch Man loses 400 lbs without Surgery!
WOW! It’s 4:40 a.m. and I just finished my date with Billy Blanks lol (Kama & Jackie) and on the news I saw a preview of 20/20 for tonight about David Smith a morbidly obese man who once weighed 630 lbs. He contacted personal trainer Chris Powell and he helped him change his life. It is so easy to sit and cry and feel sorry for yourself he said, but after that then what? You have to decide to change your life for you! Powerful and to see his transformation is WOW - AWESOME! He looks so different it is amazing and I often think to myself this man loses 400 lbs and I’m still struggling with these last 55 lbs to come off. Yes it takes dedication and hard work and I am dedicated and a hard worker but sometimes things come to distract us: David’s advice - live your life as if it is your last day and do what you know will make you a better person. He never use to go out or socialize and never had any friends. WOW I simply can’t imagine a life like that and though all of us struggle with our own individual weight issues - I simply cannot imagine having to stay in my house for 2 years due to embarrasment. I was so happy when he walked out after the change and I even cried for him.
So to any buddy that may have needed extra encouragement or an inspirational story here it is. Check your local guide for the time. It;s called 20/20 In touch and it comes on tonight! All the best to all my buddies toward your goals of become the healthiest you can in 2008! I for one will succeed as will all of you too! Have a wonderful day!!!!

Great job on getting your workout done so early. Thanks for letting us know about that show, sounds like it will be a great push for those of us that need it.
Wow, that is awesome, but I think ti is relative also. Your 55 pounds for you is proabbly just as much a struggle as 400 was for him. This is great inspiration, thanks for sharing!!!
I need to watch that. I love that show. I have been feeling down and out lately and I am sure this man’s story will help me. It is a struggle to lose weigt and sometimes I whine and cry about my 20 lbs I want to still lose. This story will definately be an inspiring one. Thanks for sharing and have a GREAT DAY!
Wow, awesome! Good jog on the workout!
I seen that on my Yahoo Headlines, but didnt get a chance to read it…I agree we all have times in our lives when we struggle with our weight loss…It sounds like he went above and beyond. I know that 2008 holds great things for us all…
