Hey Tyler — I’ve been following your journey via google reader for a few months now. Your transformation has been incredible to witness — and I am not just talking about your body. Succeeding at this has opened up a desire in you for more, to do more, to be more active in your whole life and reach for something that truly matters to you. A few posts back you talked about your job and how you are unhappy there doing whatever it is you do. You expressed a desire to reach out and blog more. And it got me to wondering what you are going to do once you reach your target weight. Have you thought about different ways you can reach out to people and inspire them with your story? Perhaps it involves a career change centered on fitness: a gym teacher (any age would love you I bet) or become a physical therapist or personal trainer specializing in helping people that are morbidly obese. You’ve already changed your own life so much, and people you don’t even know are inspired by your blog. What comes after your reach your target weight goals? How far can you go? How do you keep this motivation going? I wish you the best of luck. KEEP GOING! You are touching lives by letting us all be a part of your journey.

Nice to hear from your wife on here. I hope she’ll post more often about her view from the “other side,” lol. And congrats on the “I didn’t recognize you” reaction. I’ve had a couple of those so far, and they feel fantastic :-)

I can’t wait for the day that I can say an “XL is loose” on me.
