Thanks all, it has been a remarkable journey these first 5 weeks! So much has changed in my life! I feel wonderful, I can walk, I can sit without pain, I don't need assistance to get up from a chair any more, I can sit on my sofa again, etc, etc, etc.

I am so glad I found MF and all of YOU who help me get through each day without hunger as I wave bye-bye to my fat! LW compared it to 160 sticks of butter or something like that, and that's just how I feel - like melting butter - but in my case, there's a little spidey inside!

Dear Gerald,
I am knew to this site (not actually a member yet, but will join in a minute). I'm longing to know how you are going after reading your personal story of last year. Hope things are going well for you. I am about to start my journey next week, 135kgs, (270pounds?), and am scared that I won't be able to last 12 weeks on shakes.
Anyway, my thoughts are with you,
Gabby

Welcome, Gabby ~

There are a number of us that have survived very nicely on shakes only for a long time. I had the pleasure of meeting Gerald last week and ExplorThis - another shaker dude!

Hi Gerald
I just got done reading your story and the rest of your posts. I'm glad to here your doing so good.

I'm proud of you.
Today is my first day on MF. Your story is going to help me out a lot.
Thank you so much. And keep up the good work.
I'll be looking for more of your posts.

PS: Your my Inspiration.

I have to go to a party this weekend. I didn't know if I was going to be able to stay on MF. After reading everything you had to say, I got the point. This week is going to be a lot easier with caring people like yourself helping me.

Thank you again
