Very cool - thanks for posting! Between the physical changes of the surgery, and the ability for exercise to change me on a molecular level, it really reaffirms that I now have the opportunity to change my life's trajectory and become a healthier person who will be able to maintain a healthy weight long-term. As someone who's been overweight my whole life that's a concept that's hard for me to get my head around. Thanks - this is very inspiring.

Thank you for posting!

I think another take away is even if your BMI is over 25...an active lifestyle is so important!

I love being trim...many reasons...but after a lifetime of obesity the thing I value the most is good enough health and fitness to be able to live this way. Its GREAT to be able to have the energy and ability to DO. Way more important than number on the scale.
