    Congratulations on your success! I've been on a similar path this past year so I understand the commitment it took for you to accomplish this. I encourage you to try the gym and/or working out. I had never been in a gym before Aug. 1 of this year. I love the challenge and progress I've made in lifting weights and muscle growth. Best of luck for many great years of health.

    You lost a lot of weight in such a short period of time ( 1 year, correct?) You should slow down and be careful.

    He had a lot to lose, being over 400 pounds, him losing that much in a year isn't so drastic.

    I agree. Also, it sounds like he is in the care of a physician which is good.

    OP, GREAT work you are an awesome inspiration :-)

    I am down to 204 from HW 307 although it's taken me over four years. It is great to be in a healthier place. Good luck to you in the future!

    My strategy was to find low calorie/high volume food that I wouldn’t mind eating everyday. I know this probably sounds like a silly idea to most people, but I appreciate consistency, and its worked out very well for me.
    That's how I got started and found this site!

    About a month ago I began googling the nutritional facts for everything, in search of low calorie density food. MFP data was always near or at the top of the results. Eventually I began reading the forums and found out about the calculator.

    Huge congrats to you.

    I am so damn proud of you Jonathan. Posting with you day in and day out is so inspiring to me. As someone mentioned, your writing is amazing.

    We go way back to message boards where I had no idea how much you weighed and I always enjoyed your posts and company.

    But today you made me so proud to see that you made your goal and I so look forward to sharing the next year of FITNESS with you.

    KUDOS Jonathan!!!
