Good job, Matt! Don't let the few negative comments (on CNN) get you down -- you should be very proud, both for losing the weight and for putting yourself "out there" as an inspiration for others.

Now, on to maintenance, eh?

b. strong,
Kim

Wonderful Matt! I like the hard reality of your story - not an easy peasy walk in the park, but SO worth it.
