My fiancee and I are both pretty heavy, and we're working on losing weight for our wedding in September. My goal is to be down to 200 by the middle of September, and I think I'll be able to make it after all. After months of sort of vaguely maybe trying to lose weight, I've buckled down in the last month and a half and I've lost ten pounds.

I hope I put these photos in correctly.

The first is me at 265.

The second is me at 225.8.

    I hovered at 245 for MONTHS and then suddenly it was like falling down a hill.

    Did you do something special to break through that stall, or did you just stay consistent and it eventually happened?

    Basically I got consistent. Id been really slacking off.
