    The human body can do some amazing things. When I left an office job for my current, more physically demanding one, I lost about 50 pounds. When I need to loft something that weighs about that much, I think about what it would feel like if I had to carry that item around in a backpack my whole shift. It seems impossible but I know for a fact that I did it. I've actually started ro put some weight on, but I'm pretty sure that's muscle since work continues to feel less demanding, and my clothes are feeling looser, not tighter.

    So to all the crybabies that have been on this show who are 600 pounds and claim they cannot walk, and are bedridden, well that is a choice. But this guy? Is an example of an almost 1 ton young man who doesn't even have to use a walker. This is determination. All the best!

    JT was no angel either if you watch the whole episode. Dude was rude, arrogant, ordering fast food even after surgery and refusing to go to therapy. BUT, when he decided to do the work, he did it.
