Well, the Biggest Loser is over for the season, so it looks like I'll have to search for other inspiring weight loss stories to share with you guys.

www.thatsfit.com/2009/12/21/megan-uses-her-weight-loss-success-to-coach-others/

Obviously, looking around on the site, you can find many inspiring stories. To me, the most inspiring are those of average Joes (and Joettes? well, female Joes). I find it most inspiring to me, an average gal, to know that people just like me who are not celebrities and do not have thousands of dollars to pay personal trainers can still achieve great feats.

This woman, Megan, popped up on my browser today with a story about her quest to lose weight.

What is inspiring about her story? That she's just like you and me.

She credits her 20-lb. weight gain to her desk job and working long hours.

Now that she's lost the weight (and looks like a totally different person you will see) she is using her hard work to inspire others.
