Mark's Q and A
The deep friendship between you and Matt was just palpable in week 8's episode. I think many tears were shed watching you two say good-bye. Can you tell us how the effort of losing weight together bonded you, and how finding such a good friend for those of us in the outside world could help us lose weight?
