Default Just what I was going to say

Hi Matthew,

You said exactly what I was thinking. I once weighed 500+ pounds. I am today at a healthy weight. I have had a body fat test and my body fat is in the lower range of healthy.

If you see my full body picture I will look fatter than the one posted at the beginning of this thread. I look like I have a fat belly and look fat in other parts of my body. I look fat to many observers.

My body and my life history qualify me to comment from personal history and study on proper diet, weight loss, and weight maintenance. Who would you prefer to receive advice from, a naturally thin person with only academic knowledge of the subject or someone who has personal experience with and overcome the eating and weight issue?
