Ron & Dick, Sorry to hear of your loss. 800lbs? Incredible.You seem to have a winning attitude. I myself probably wouldn't be able to cope. My largest is just 300lbs --maybe --& I cross my fingers every day it makes it to the next.. It put on a lot of size relativiley quick. There's gotta be something that can be done about that nasty sounding disease!! Keep at it. The very best of luck next year. Tom T.
