that's an amazing story -- congrats, matt!

the embarrassing moment that resparked my weight loss was sitting in a college class room and not being able to fold the pull-out desks over my thighs.

Wow Matt! That's a GREAT story! You've lost more than Jared? You should totally contact Oprah's camp...maybe you could inspire people more globally...like Jared Most people at your size would have opted for surgery, feeling like they can't do it without somehow medically altering their bodies. But you can show people EXACTLY how it's done. Seriously...I'd contact her! Congrats!

BTW, I did mention 3fc's in the interview. Too bad they didn't mention it directly instead of saying "online forums".

Good for you, Matt.

Now you've exponentially widened the circle of people who might relate to and be inspired by your story.

Probably even some guys who would never admit to visiting a website with "chicks" in the title.
