The honest truth. Thank you. Let's face it. Every day we are bombarded with ads for food-like foods, and it;s hard to resist.

For you to lose so much weight is really fantastic. Not many people actually make it to the end.

I have a friend, a woman I once taught, and she became morbidly obese.

Recently she undertook a weight-loss plan. She's still fat by any standard, but, she would be half her original weight and plans to get to your stage. Thereafter she will have to consider what to do with her excess skin.

But for the time being she is totally focussed on getting back to the weight she should and can be.

I am in awe of both of you.

Well done.
