You're now in a downward spiral and get no respect from even people like Motion...

Thanks to my doctors, I've lost 105 lbs the past 18 months, finally gotten the knee replacement I'd put off for 20 years and haven't felt this good in 25 years.....Still a few lbs to go, but my whole life has changed by now. I now lose weight w/o really trying...
