Check out what some readers had to say to Gareth Taylor as he continues on his #Journeyof100pounds:

PhilT McNasty: You’ll pull through, but I encourage you to change jobs. The temptation lingers in the aroma.

No white bread, rice, or dumplings for now. Juice once a week is okay.I personally am awaiting better news in the months ahead. You have the right attitude I believe you can lose a significant amount of weight with your personal will and the optimistic team that’s cheering you on to your ideal goal.In December 2013 I ended up getting sick and spent the Christmas holiday in the hospital. I was told by my doctor that if I didn’t do something fast about controlling my weight, I would not be around much longer.After getting out the hospital I decided enough was enough and I’m tired of being tired. To date I’ve lost over 250lbs and counting. Please reach out to me, I would love to be a part of this journey towards a healthier life.

Janaa Pickford: Gareth you can do this. Set realistic goals and expectations. Keep in mind that your health is at stake if you do not shed excess pounds.

Ralston Stephenson: I can personally relate to Gareth Taylor. Growing up in Jamaica I too was always a little bigger than every one else. After moving to the (United) States my weight gain really got out of control. Lucky for me I got into sports and was able to control my weight to some degree. After playing sports and graduating college, I soon got married. My weight gain again got way out of control. At my highest I weighed 515lbs. Although I was overweight, it wasn’t an issue until I started having the health problem, Gareth Taylor.
