    You can do this. And you're going about it the right way. This isn't a diet. This isn't a reboot. This is gradual change over a lengthy period of time that will slowly transform your lifestyle. And this is why you're going to succeed!

    AHHH (Fanboy scream) Miss Casi. Thank you so much for the encouragement you've given me recently. You rock.

    My Dad was roughly your size when I was growing up. He lost a significant amount of weight by just changing his eating habits and watching his calories. Once some of the weight was gone he was able to challenge himself more and more with activity. I know it was hard on him as I too have been overweight my whole life and struggling at over 300 lbs.

    This totally hits home. I used to be able to do quite a bit of stuff with my son but when I finally got to visit him again recently (long story) I knew we couldn't do anything that would be really fulfilling like that. And I don't want any of my other kids to have to deal with that for the rest of their growing years. And when I think back to having been 300 and able to do so much more than I can now I just think, man, if only... I would be doing all kinds of stuff.
