Hi, I'm here. I'm thrilled for you!
I stopped commenting so much because:

1. I was starting to feel like a stalker
2. I was having my own medical issues.
3. I didn't think you cared much....

However, know that I still watch for your articles and am wishing you well.

Let's see, what's going on in my life...well the last show before the Biggest Loser season finale was on last night. Martha and I were definitely tuned in to see the drama unfold. Some dude this season lost 146 pounds over the course of the 15 week taping. I mean, holy fucking shit. You know that I both hate and love reality TV while dismissing most of it as garbage for idiots but I have to credit this show with spurring on Martha and my push towards healthy living. I would also be overlooking a hige factor if I didn't credit you and this blog for pushing us also. It's like when Martha does the Biggest Loser workout DVDs and sees all those fat fatties doing the workouts there along with the trainer- she says, "how am I going to quit when these people are doing it?". See - same thing.

That said - I enjoy this blog a lot. I think you've done a ton of good work and the numbers prove that. If you and I were contestants on that show I would be forced to vote you off because you pose the biggest threat. Don't think I'm not monitoring your progress intently and trying to keep up. If I could get passed the going out on the weekend thing we would probable be a lot closer. But I'll keep trying even after this coming Friday's undoing with what I assume will be a night of drinks at the Hard Lessons show.

Keep up the good work in April. I think you can make it through.

Go to www.thehardlessons.com to see if Detroit's rockingest rock band is coming to a town near you soon!

I'm here.

Although I'm not trying to lose as much weight as you are, I am using you as a massive push to keep myself eating healthy and trying (not very hard most of the time) to keep up the exercise. Now that MI is seeing some warmer weather (although snow is expected for Sat) I've been getting out on my bike every few days.

The next 25 days will be big for you. But I suspect the week after that will be tougher. Don't give in to too much of a reward for completing the task. Consider your reward the fact that you could do it, and do it well.

We're going to be a couple of good-looking gentlemen giving our speeches up there in August. See you soon man.

i'm reading... and rooting for you.

Hi. Fuck you... How are you doing? :) (Hey, you said "say hi if you feel like saying hi and fuck you if you feel like saying fuck you", so...)

anyhow, hope you make progress with your weight... don't overdo it.... just a suggestion

Been reading you since first 100 days! Please keep writing, and the every three days postings keep it real. I am curious about how you are planning on maintaining your weight when you finish the "diet"
