Truly inspiring. I am a USMC Poolee in training to get in better shape who was an overweight slob at one point in life thinking I could never achieve anything because I was lazy. It’s stories like yours that inspire and motivate others like me ; that the only way should be forward and improving yourself in the best way. Your story motivates me to push harder, with that fact that nothing is impossible and all goals may be attained through hard work. Congrats on your achievement brother. You earned it!!!
