Hey there Chris, wow..you look great!  I hardly come here either anymore, but I do glance once in a while to see if it's active again.  Eight pounds away eh?  You are just bookin' on that weight loss! I'm so glad that you are well and healthy and enjoying life! :)  

I have to disagree with you on the fact that everyone treats you the same when you are thinner.  Maybe it's more of a gender thing??  I have a feeling it is.  When I lost a hundred pounds before I noticed a BIG difference on how I was treated.  Sort of sad eh that it effects genders so much.  Guess that goes by saying that it's still a mans world! Unfortunately that is..lol

I start a class next week.  I'm excited about it, something new I've never tried.  It's actually a class on eating, not on nutrition itself. So I'm ecstatic about it, about time they offered something like that.  Most of us obese people already know how to eat right, it's all the rest of the problems that we get in trouble with!  So I'm praying this is my answer.

I would say good luck on losing the last eight pounds, but well...we know it's in the bag! ;) hehe  Your lookin' awesome.
