Wow, just wow. I know my answer is different than everyone else’s. But I think this guy is a rock star. I will be following his progress for sure.

If you’re thin going on fat it more like everything is only going to get worse. Since so many people aren’t taking steps to get thin, maybe what they need is incentive to not get fatter.
