Reason: The Captain was one of the very first people to welcome me here to bb.com. When i first joined bb.com, I didnt think that anyone would care about a 270 pound fat guy like me. I was wrong! The Captain's transformation was instrumental in motivating me to go for my goals. The captain is a true example that anything is possible and nothing is impossible.

Reason: Dave inspires me because he remained extremely persistent in his goal of obtaining 17-inch guns! Now he has taken it to the next level and is well on the way to obtaining 18 inch guns!

Reason: Ed was also one of the first people to welcome me here to bb.com. I was shocked that Ed with his incredible physique would even give a hoot about a 270 pound fat guy like me. Again I was wrong. Ed gave me some words of wisdom and told me to stay strong and that I will get out of it what I put into it. Those words became the nucleus and foundation for my own transformation, and for that I am grateful.
