Hi Marvin, I am new here and came across your story *tried to im you but itwouldn't let me* I was wondering what was the time frame it took you to see a significant loss and then how long until you hit your goal

Hey Jesse,

I just stumbled across your pics and decided to read your success story. Wow!! I definitely know what it's like to be fat all your life - that part of your story could be my story. I'm looking forward to finishing with a success story like yours! And I must say, my first thought at your pics was, "hubba hubba!"

Just remember that we are all works in progress, and I know that your introspection will pay off and will develop into more confidence and less fear. It won't happen overnight either, but it really sounds like the change has already begun.

Well done Jesse! Keep the faith!

Awesome! Incredible! I do have to say you need to dump the shy stuff! You are extra handsome as your new thin self, but you were handsome at your heaviest. What you are on the inside shines out in your old pictures. It may take a while to get used to the new body, but rest assured, it will be with you for life.

Now that you have your health under control, please work on your self esteem. Unless a girl is very shallow, she will appreciate what is on the inside more than the packaging. A healthy balance is what you need.

I am a photographer and I love your profile shots, especially the black and white.

In Awe,
Sunny!
