My friend Bill Larson is an amazing guy… an inspiration. He has lost more than 160 lbs without surgery and is sharing how he did it with the world.

Bill is an avid tweeter and blogger. He has made a bunch of appearances on shows such as Dr. Oz and the New York Fox affiliate (video below). He really is a great role model for a country whose people struggle with weight on a daily basis.  It really shows that something can be done. It’s never hopeless.

Bill points out something in the video embedded below: You have to love yourself enough to realize that you need to make a change for the better. You need to have want to lose weight. There are going to be good days and bad days. If you have a bad day, don’t give up, just do better the next day. The key is to not give up.

I am lucky enough to know Bill and have his support as I continue to fluctuate on the scale and fight with my weight, and for that I’m grateful. I am also very lucky to have the support from my friends and family. That and the love for yourself and your own well being is also so very important.

For daily tips, podcasts and inspiration, be sure to follow Bill on Twitter, Facebook and on his blog: DeterminedtoSucceed.com.
