Hey there everyone my name is Rob. 8 months ago I was 447 pounds and today I'm at 364 trying to get down 240 or less!. Did this without any surgery!

    I'm at 415. Just started trying again to get this weight off. It's been 4 days and already lost 5 pounds. And I know I should be excited about that but all I can think is how long will this last. I keep telling myself a journey of a thousands miles begins with one step and I have a choice...what I eat...but I have to admit I am terrified of this journey.

    Thanks everyone! Angelshiy 5 pounds is still a lot to lose that quick! Picture what 5 pounds of body fat looks like and you just lost that in 4 days! Keep it up

    Wowee that's an amazing accomplishment. Congratulations!
    For the lady who has lost 5lb, that's fantastic. You should weigh something to realise how heavy 5lb is!! I weighed my iron, it was 3.3lb.. I've lost 6.6 irons, bet I couldn't carry them for long ( sorry, I don't get out much hahahahahahaha)

    Robertk & Angelshiy, You both have accomplished a lot; keep it up. Keep in mind that it is a journey not a project with an end date and you will have good days and bad days. You will also fall off the wagon occasionally; thing is to get back on; failure is when you quit;
