I was 4.5 lbs away and a month away from my goal I set of losing 100 lbs in one year. I hit it today.
Details:
I fast every Thursday (skip a day of eating). On Thursday morning I weighed in and I was only 1/2 lb above what I weighed in on last Friday (my official weigh-in day). I was excited with that, because I usually lose anywhere between 1-6 lbs after my fast. Usually I gain several lbs back after the fast during the next week, then lose all that I gained and a couple extra pounds under the previous week.
So I knew it was going to be a good day when I weighed in on Friday and it was, I lost 4.5 Lbs. Which I now weigh exactly 214. I set the balance beam to zero to verify that the scale was measuring right, then I re-weighed myself to confirm.
My start weight for the diet was 314 on August 31st, 2014. So I beat my goal by one whole month.
I think I have figured out the fasting thing. The key is not eating too much on the break fast day. Using my Ketonix, I notice that fasting will keep the ketone burning level very high for the following day, even though you have started eating again.
So, here are the stats:
I want to thank everyone that has helped me on this great way of eating! An especially God for helping me find this WOE...

100 pounds down, 24 to go.
P.S. I'm still have a fat gut and there will be no "before" and "after" pics until I look skinny.

I think your stats are perfect. What a relief it is to reach your goal early especially as you have the China trip coming up. If it were me, I would lose there too because I am not very adventurous where food is concerned. I need to know what I am eating.
You inspired me to renew my passport. I have an appointment next week.0 -
