    Great story, thanks for sharing. Great tips in there for me. More than a diet success story: a lifestyle change, one step at a time. Congrats to both your wife and you.

    Nice job! Your and my path are pretty similar, I'm A LOT older and a little bit taller, and I do more exercise so I can focus a little less on diet. I share many of your DO's and Dont's and my *kitten* gets sore often too.

    I need to go shopping for round 3 of clothing that fits. And my wife seriously thinks I need a new wedding ring that I can wear.

    I really identified with your story. In Feb 2012, I weighed 405 pounds and two years later, I'm at 190 pounds (6-0 in height, age 39). I started walking for exercise and then added lap swim and lifting weights. I'm married with 2 kids and with a new baby on the way. I also sit behind a desk. Now, I try to be a lot more active doing different things. Swimming and lifting weights are my favorite exercises.

    I'm glad it's not just me that doesn't set goals! I used to, but I became so disheartened when I didn't meet my goal. So now I set it to Maintenance and just aim to be below it. Prefably by quite a bit, but at least if I'm at or under Maintenance then I have confidence that I'm not going backwards.

    Congratulations on your progress :)

    Congrats! I love that you listed your "donts". Lots of people think they have to cut out everything they love and that is where most people get tripped up! You look amazing!!

    Thank you and so do you! 99lbs is an awesome loss as well!! I don't believe in "easy/quick fixes"... like I've said before... it took 15 years to put on so it's not gonna come off overnight.
