Gary, you're incredible. I am in awe. What a transformation. Happiness emanates from your face. I am so proud of you, and equally as thankful that we're friends. 287 pounds is more than I weigh now. You lost one of me plus... that thought leaves me speechless. Your dedication to yourself, you diary and exercise, is very inspiring.

I am a blubbering mess right now. I don't even know what to say. I always feel like I'm faking this, even thought I love here and my friends are AMAZING, which I wouldn't have made it this far without them, I still feel like this good streak is going to end because I have so much to lose! Of course I have good days and bad.

I just can't tell you how amazing you are! And showing me it can be done.

Congratulations! and Hugs!
