my road to 100 lbs

Hi there just thought I would share this although my weight loss began some 2 months and 40 lbs before discovering
MFP, today I hit what has felt was a milestone I would never see again in my lifetime back when I was still
a hefty 270+lbs and have finally dropped below 200 lbs leaving only a tiny 29.6 lbs to go .

for me it simply started with a failure, just like the countless days before where I had told myself "this is the day I finally diet"
I had found myself at dinner that having already downed nearly 8000+ cals of junk food and looking at the last empty can of the three 12packs I had consumed that night and decided that this was my worst vice and so if I couldn't kick the junk food habit then
I would no longer drink soda I would have sugar free flavored water instead, and some 2 weeks later after mustering the courage I stood on the scale and was shocked to see I had lost 15 lbs just with this one change.

I guess you could say at this point I felt something akin to hope, I found soda/ energy drinks were no longer so enticing as they had been before and so I dared to make one more change and stop ordering my fast food with fries or cookies and other side items this got me even further eventual reaching 30 lbs lost before I decided to just change one more thing this time removing the cheese or asking for only half the normal mayo and hello 40 lbs

at this point though my loss was slowing notably so I decided my next thing rather than stabbing about blindly at this diet thing
was to seek out some form of guide that is when I thought "hey maybe I should check my smart phone, they have an app for anything right?" and now that Im a total 70 lbs less I can definitely say yes, yes they do

oh and here is a quick before and after pic for you TL:DR people.
