I started out at 288+. When I weighed in for my work physical, I couldn't believe that I had reached almost 300lbs. I decided to do something about it.
Right now, I'm 198. I have about 40lbs to go, and then I'll see how I feel. It hasn't been easy, but 90lbs in a year isn't terrible!

    Thank you!! I really need to color it again, but I'm waiting until I hit the 100lbs lost mark to reward myself. :)

    Congrats! How did you do it?

    I gave up regular soda as a first step. I started walking everywhere, parking really far away from everywhere I went, carried a jug of water with me, and joined this site. Eventually, I started drinking diet soda. I work midnights, and needed the caffeine. I only have one every few days. I don't drink fruit juice, and only drink milk with protein shakes. Some days, I eat my calories, sometimes I eat 200 less. I find that when I vary my calories, it really helps my weight drop. If I want something naughty, I eat it....but I make sure it fits in my calories. If it doesn't, I don't beat myself up over it. I just continue eating well after that. I don't deprive myself most of the time. It has worked. It has been hard, but it has worked. I feel amazing, having accomplished it on my own, with no fad diets or pills. I feel like an awesome person, and someone who is worth something, finally. :)

    Firstly a huge congras lady you have done A M A Z I N G!!!!!

    and my approach has pretty much echoed yours - love the bit about not depriving, I have done this to so actually its not a diet at all....it's a lifestyle change!

    You have always been worth something but its great you now believe it, here's to the next 40lb. Yes it might not be easy but look at how you feel now and how far you have come and think of how you will feel then!!!! x
