    Wow, you're doing amazing! You've clearly changed your life, which is anything but easy. I have no doubt that you'll get where you want to be.
    Hope you don't mind me asking, is there any story behind your untraditional wedding outfits? I've never seen anything like it.

    Thank you! My husband and I are huge fans of gothic/industrial/punk music. In fact we met in a static music chat room (there was no 'real time chat' back then) in 1996. We love the dark side of things and went with a funeral-themed wedding with a coffin shaped wedding cake! My bouquet was a traditional coffin spray of red and black roses and we wore all black with red details:)

    I always say each pound I lose leaves kicking and screaming! They don't leave easily!

    That is so true!

    Thank you everyone for your encouragement! I really needed a shot of that.
    I chose knowledge as the way to change my life. Not 'hollywood fad' knowledge either. I have read many studies and many text books and I can tell you that when you realize how each component of food works in your body down to the tiniest detail, you can envision what each of them can do to your body whether bad or good.

    Thank you again!

    :flowerforyou: Awesome, you lost someone the size of me at 152 pound plus 13 pounds. If you had the guts to do that then you will have them to get back on your program and lose the rest of it.

    Hope you are as proud of your accomplishments as we are of your determination.

    Keep up the great work and let us know when you get back on the program.

    I have lost 3 pounds this week.

    Great job. It is life long journey for sure.

    Hope you find yourself back in the game.

    I think we all go through spurts of time when our heads are not 'in it'. I've experienced that many times. I have times where I put on 10 to 14 pounds after being at goal for a few years. Then have to put my mind to it to get back down.

    It is always a struggle for me.

    Deepak Chopra wrote a small book on wt loss that has a few unusual ideas...the hot water idea is interesting. Maybe you need some new healthy ideas... :flowerforyou:

    That is an AMAZING loss!!! You look great! I also want to say that you definitely didn't look 400 pounds in your pics. I looked a lot bigger at less than 300. Not that it matters now, I suppose. Lol

    You should be beyond proud of yourself. Taking it off is so hard, and keeping it off can be equally as hard. Don't do what I did and gain it all back.... I'm sooooo kicking myself now! Your story is so impressive.... get back on track because another year will have gone by and you'll wish you had done it. :)

    I got that a lot, but the scale doesn't lie, I guess. i was between a 30/32W and 26/28w @ 5'11" in my older pics. i am currently the size I was in 3rd grade, a 16W (yes, women's).... no exaggeration. My parents just didn't know what is known today. Very hard working, blue-collar type of people... Their idea of living good was having overflowing cabinets of food... and I paid for it dearly- almost with my life.
