Never Give Up.

Cool story here. Worth the watch.

Wow.. that's an insane transformation. Never give up, worth remembering.

Pretty amazing and motivating to those that are overweight.

Very, very good. I especially like the way he doesn't pull any punches: he doesn't pretend it's easy, he doesn't pretend he didn't fall, he doesn't make it all positive and lovely.

 

I know how tough it must have been to keep going (believe me, I've had to learn to walk normally again after a back injury - twice!) and it's great to see a success story like that from someone who had the sense to take pictures!!

 

I adopted a similar motto a few years ago when things in my (and my lady's) life were at an all-time low. Admittedly I stole it from Galaxy Quest - "Never give up, never surrender!" - but it's done me proud.

 

The bit where he runs brought a tear to my eye because I know how that feels. I couldn't walk for more than about 10 feet without having to stop because of the pain (about 4 years ago) and a week or two ago I ran. Ran! I cannot even begin to express how wonderful it is to hear the wind rushing past, even if it's only for a few yards. Makes me want to laugh like a little kid.

 

My road's been a lot longer (and there's still a long way to go with non-health stuff) but thanks for that, Nathan. Always good to have a reminder!

It's a great inspiration to people who are overweight. People should never give up on their goals or dreams because they're only giving up on themselves.
