Inspiring story! very well presented.
I got a big chuckle out of the ad that followed the video - S-W-A-P-O-R-T-U-N-I-T-Y  ---The kid was priceless.

She's amazing! It takes a lot of discipline to lose that much. I've still got about 60 to go. But I've got a diet buddy and we email each other daily, so we hold each other accountable.

Yeah that was a well placed ad. "That's not a real word." I'll try that on my coach when he asks me to do a 'Chick tail'.

That's pretty amazing and inspiring.  It shows that the human spirit can conquer a lot when one is truly passionate and determined.
