    You're doing an amazing job. How did you manage to lose it so quickly?:smile:

    Thank you everyone! It feels good to hear other people say it instead of the people in my life every day!

    As far as what I'm doing, I think the biggest thing is I'm not eating out nearly as much and I'm getting exercise now. It used to be before this, I would possibly eat out all 3 meals of the day. Now I cook all my meals. I do have cheat meals. Usually it's on Friday and Saturday nights. I also allow myself to get breakfast out on Friday morning. My breakfast before was usually 8 piece nugget from Chickfila and a large coke. I would have that roughly 3-4 mornings a week. Now on Friday (which is my weigh-in day) I treat myself to a yogurt parfait without the oreo or granola (because I'm just not a huge fan of it). It's just sweet enough for me now and I usually have a small kids Coke with that. I was also a 1-2 liter Coke drinker a day before. Now I'm drinking 3-4 liters of water a day - since I started doing that, the weight has really started coming off.

    I went from absolutely no exercise to walking close to 30 minutes a day. I believe that's also helped me a lot. I don't eat a lot of red meat anymore, usually chicken, pork, or shrimp.

    The biggest thing though....my mind is set and I am going to do this. At this point there is nothing that I feel can get in my way. I've never felt this way before.

    I'm also blogging about my journey if anyone is interested...
