I know there are a few newbies here who might not have stumbled on to these folks. Fred and Robyn have lost a lot of weight. Please check out their sites. Fred doesn't update his web site much anymore as he has moved on to another site but it is still worth looking at for the pictures if nothing else.

I'm a huge fan of these folks. They have other web sites besides these weight loss ones, if are interested I will provide the addresses if you don't come across them in their sites.
