There were a few comments about the photos I found interesting:

Comments: I have been shocked and awed by the picture — the after one where you don't look like a large marine mammal that wound up on land. I'm concerned that you may be so attractive as a thin man that you may turn me gay. That would really screw up the wedding — and Martha would undoubtedly have you killed. Keep up the good work at your own risk.

Actually Guy, I’m pretty sure Martha will probably back out of the wedding to hook up with me. I hope that doesn’t ruin our friendship.

Comments: Look at how great you're doing! Thanks for sharing the pics. It's so hard to stay motivated. I've been trying since last Sept. to lose for a reunion that now is next month and I haven't gotten very far. For a little inspiration take a look at DonateMyWeight.com Nothing to buy, etc. Just this guy named Ben who has lost 100lbs., but making a difference at the same time. Pretty cool. Good luck to you on your next five weeks.

Thanks! I am going to direct you guys to the site that she plugs. I checked it out, and it is much more thorough than what I’ve done. Since the beginning, Ben Miller has gone from 460 pounds to 388. I come across these sites now and again, and I always find things I wish I would have done. Ben seems dedicated to both his weight loss and the site, and is doing the kind of site I wish I would have thought of at the beginning.

Comments: You don't look too shabby (besides that arm hair and that real creepy look on your face).

Yep, that’s my old roommate everyone. Thanks Jake, for not letting me get too high. Sorry about that arm hair, and I’ll try to make it less creepy next time.

Comments: wow. I'm literally speechless. You're gorgeous.

Now that’s just too kind Alexandria. Although I tend to agree about my gorgeousness.
