    Maybe, but do I know the quality of life I'll have for those extra 10 years? If not, I might honestly not care enough to do it. All depends on the place I am in life.

    I've lost 70 pounds since February. This is probably the third time in my life I have done that... But I'm getting to old to yo-yo anymore so I'll probably keep it off this time.

    I'm sure a lot of people would love to lose weight. Something like this could be that extra push, the motivation that they need.

    Not to be presumptuous (and correct me if I'm wrong @reservoirGod) but he was probably pushing 300lbs. I know a friend who yo-yos from 220 to 270 when he is and isn't taking care of his body. Another friend who does the same between 220lbs to 250lbs.
