    ..I am surprised to see so many people lost their 100lbs in a year!...:( I am almost at the 1 year mark...and I am stuck at 220-215lbs. I am pretty much convinced I have some kind of physical issue.

    I am planning to go to a dr. here within the next few months to get my thyroid checked. I am scared something is wrong :(.

    I wouldn't be too discouraged. One, I went from 300 to 200 so I had a lot of weight that needed to come off and the more you need to come off the faster you lose it at the beginning, and if I could do it over I would have done it at a healthier rate because I have a lot of loose skin and I'm sure I lost some muscle along the way!

    I haven't hit 100 lbs yet, but I've lost over 10 sizes. Lifting will cause you to lose more sizes relative to weight. It's been about 11 months.

    Before: pushing size 30, now size 18.

    First 100 was about 7 months. Been about another 70 pounds in 9 months since that.

    1 year, 10 months, 15 days

    I started trying to lose weight Monday, May 30, 2011. I just hit the 100 pounds lost mark yesterday.

    From December 2012 to March 2013 I've been losing 5.4 pounds per month on average and I've already lost 5.4 pounds this month so I'm hoping to see that average go up.

    That is SO amazing! I would never have even thought that you were the same person if I were to compare your first picture and your last. You are truly an inspiration to me. I am trying to lose about 100 lbs. 24 lbs down so far and I started on 1/2/2013.
