This video in the first 1:30 alone was awesome. I don't always get to everyone's videos, but I'm working on fixing that.

The time you took to write what you do with your plan and the words you gave to the other guy. Your patience with others should be bottled and used by others too.

"Conquer the possible" <----this, sir...KICKED ASS! :)

One day at a time. One pound at a time. One SUCCESS at a time, and you, sir...are COATED in success and possibilities :)

[thegerm1]

@schmumpkin Thank You! I have a hard time getting to everyone's videos sometimes too! Thank You for the kind words!!

Jeremy, watching this made me so HAPPY for you. You have done this whole thing (practically) withOUT the lap band. That guy in the gym knows that, he saw you busting your butt and you not only have inspired HIM but soooooooo many others of us. Keep doing what works, you're right, find what works for you, and lap band may have not been for you, but you still kicked ass and lost over 100 pounds. THAT IS AWESOME. Keep it up!!

[thegerm1]

@newtoy4kt Thank You! I hope that i can help the guy out. Thanks for the comment!

[TandMBlackwood]

Gotta love the trains, I have em at my house also!!! I loved your story, your doing a very good deed!

[thegerm1]

@TandMBlackwood LOL yea the trains go by so often I don't even notice!! Thanks Meagan!

With all of the exercise you do you might consider having one day a week at 1800-2000 calories to fool your metabolism and keep it from getting to low.

I am so glad things are still moving forward for you. Keep making the videos!

[thegerm1]

@TexasGirlBand I have thought about that. I have actually talked to someone who was on the biggest loser and they said that one day a week they would have a free day where the would up their calories for that day at one meal. Sounds interesting. I will have to maybe give it a try. I'll let you know. Thank You!!

[Sunnedae]

Unbelievable, Jeremy. You are such an inspiration :) *hugs*

[thegerm1]

@Sunnedae Thanks Anne!!

[SunnyRain247]

Wow, that was cool you were able to share with the guy at the gym. He obviously found you inspiring - just like we do. It'll be very cool when you been Wendy. Please list the other person so I can find his channel.

[thegerm1]

@SunnyRain247 Thanks. We had a good meet up. The other guy was Fredbear08.

[thepouchedpotato]

You are an inspiration man. Awesome!

[thegerm1]

@thepouchedpotato Thanks Yehuda! You are an inspiration too!!

[Louismom]

You r a huge inspiration. Think of it like this, "all those years ago" at the Y, you were not where you are now & not meant to find inspiration through someone else. You probably would have never made a video for YouTube, and most of all... That man you helped today, may have never crossed your path. I truly believe everything happens for a reson. You may have just helped him in a pretty amazing way. It takes a lot of courge to ask someone for that kind of advice. Keep up the great work!!!!

[thegerm1]

@Louismom Thank You very much! So true, So True! Yes I believe that everything does happen for a reason too!

[Newlifetina]

Hey Down is good the only way to go! Good for you! Busy is really a good thing. I am so happy that you were able to inspire someone in person. That is a awesome feeling. Wow how exciting you guys will have a great time ;) See you soon! 

[thegerm1]

@Newlifetina Thanks! We had a good time at the meet up! Yes it did feel good that this guy wanted to know more about how I got to where I'm at now.

[AllyKatPerth]

All I have to say is AWESOME!!!!!!  :)

[thegerm1]

@AllyKatPerth Thank You!

[RelaxxKiller]

WOWWWOOOWWW!!! Huge loss, I had no idea!! and I'm going to correct you, you did it WITHOUT the lapband.... bless your heart. WoW, KICK my BOOTY on exercise, I will never ever catch up, Damn men with their muscle mass LoL...So awesome on the friend at the Y, you have that affect on people, believe me, I know :o) That's so neat to be able to touch someone! I'm grateful to you and want you to know that you are part of where I get my inspiration from, and for that Mr. I thank you!!!! Deanna

[thegerm1]

@RelaxxKiller Well I actually did it with the lapband. The mental part of having it was a big part of my weight loss, with or without the restriction. You will catch up on the exercise! I was exercising long before I had my lapband so I had a head start. Thank you for the kind words. I am also inspired by you! Thanks Deanna. ~Jeremy

[wbrosie1961]

Jeremy: Your videos are all inspiring to me! You have done so well! All the best! - Wendy

[thegerm1]

@wbrosie1961 Thank you Wendy that means a lot!

[BandedB]

Kick ass J! It's always awesome when we inspire others! Keep on losing! I get that a LOT. Its the main reason I DONT tell a lot of people. I think some of it is that unless you've been there...you really cant know. But you are right. Of the few dozen people I've known...most jump straight to that conclusion.

[thegerm1]

@BandedB Thanks B! It feels good that this guy asked me for help. I hope that I can help him out. Yes a lot of people jump to the conclusion right away. If they only knew!

[ladynredmichigan]

Jeremy, You inspire me everytime I watch one of your videos! Keep up the good work. Hey, when and where are you guys meeting? I actually just sent you a note! I will drive from Michigan to see you guys....LOL

[thegerm1]

@ladynredmichigan Thanks!!

[greenfrog775]

Get video!!! So nice when you can be an insiration to others cause I know you are to me. I hope you have a great meeting with them

[thegerm1]

@greenfrog775 Thanks Shari! I just hope that I can help him out.

[melijean36]

[thegerm1]

@melijean36 Yes it does give me the warm fuzzy feeling!! Thanks Melissa!

[lapband23]

15 pounds to goal, That is great news!

I hear ya about balancing exercise with other responsibilities

That guy in the gym has been watching you bust your ass, so great that you could share with him. Good for him asking you for help as well.

I had a similiar experience last week.

I used to do the same thing at our Y, crazy when your one of the only people there at the time.

[thegerm1]

@lapband23 Yes 15 lbs to go! I'm excited and can't wait to get there. Hopefully I can help this guy out. Thanks as always for the kind comment.

[msclarita64]

[thegerm1]

@CinThruThickNThin Thank you! Yea I was shocked that he noticed me and I hope I can help him out in some way or form.
