    Your words and inspiration kept me from sliding down the slippery slope of gaining weight back again. I still appreciate that. It is what still keeps my scale moving forward so to speak instead of repeating old numbers. I do not travel the same path but when I take a break I never gain more than a pound. Thank sir more than I can say. You are an inspiration and a marvel. Congratulations!!

    Awesome, Amazing job well done. I can't say how I lost mine, they say I'm promoting unhealthy eating habits and they will ban me from the forums. But just know you are truly amazing and I wish you well at maintaining.
