    If you don't mind me asking, how does it feel on your body to lose that much weight (bones/joints/etc) and how do you feel emotionally?

    Great questions.

    Physically, I feel great! A huge amount of pressure is off my bones and joints.

    I also feel great, emotionally. I think this is going to open up various opportunities for me, and I'm looking forward to it.

    That's great to hear. I can't even begin to imagine what it feels to experience this.
