...an article about Al Sharpton and how he lost all his weight without surgery. Yet another public forum intimating that those who go the surgery route are doing it 'the easy way'.

I'd bet the house that this guy either had surgery and is lying or he'll never keep all that weight off. I remember when he was fat Reverend Al and no one that size keeps it off permanently. He was/is by his own admission, a foodaholic. He says he's consuming 1,000 calories without surgery and isn't hungry? I call BS on that. Or he'll put it all back on in time. And since he's kept it off for a while, I still think the man is a liar. The link to the article is below.

@@ready2B your post sounds like me. I've said often that I once lost 130 pounds and got down to 156 and a size ten. It was the best 20 minutes of my life.

He could have an illness. My husband weighed 260 lbs at 5'8" and once he became diabetic he went down to 185 lbs. He now hovers between 185 to 200 lbs depending on his diet. He has stayed in this range for 4 1/2 years.
