Well done mate. A great story made better as it comes across as sharing the secret to life rather than the trumpet blowing....you got any before and after photos??

So, eat right and exercise you say? Someday, someone will write a book that presents that idea well and make millions.

Anyway, well done and congrats to you!

    Can I introduce you to my mother. She needs to see that it can be done and that there is no magic diet or pill. You're an inspiration.
