    Mine was only about 30 lbs but the drop in body fat was huge...previous BF was about 30%...current 16.7%. All about gaining muscle now. Irregardless - goals are goals and hitting each milestone was exciting and continues to be.

    I wish you all the best going forward!! You can do this!

    I haven't reached 100 pounds, but I can confirm that I am now superhuman.

    I only lost 40 initially but it feels great; I am much more representative of the old me that existed for much longer than the fat me. I'm currently trying to drop another 10 or so to get rid of my little spare tire and love handles...I find this part the most difficult as my initial losses I was really focused on my health and was losing for my health...this last 10 is pure vanity and I'm just not that vain so it's hard to restrict my calories for vanity sake.

    It's easier to do things. Most things, actually. I like that a lot.

    Amazing, freeing and terrifying all at the same time. When you start the weight loss journey you often think that once you get to your goal weight, life will be perfect. Unfortunately, that is often wrong. Losing this much weight may have made me healthier but it has also brought up a lot of emotional issues that I had been covering with food my whole life. For those that have a lot of weight to lose, I strongly recommend adding therapy sessions to your lifestyle change. It's almost more important to work on the mental aspect of weight loss as it is to work on the physical. For me, seeing a therapist made the difference between gaining the weight back and finally being free of the fear of gaining it back.

    (My ticker says 73 but in total I have lost 118)

    The best part of it for me honestly is being average sized. I am still overweight, but it is awesome to know that I am a regular size person in general, for example going to an amusement park yesterday I fit easily in all rides even needed to tighten the seat belts or restraints in some cases from the previous rider. I fit in chairs and booths and bath tubs. I am not the exception anymore or the bigger person who requires some special accommodation. I never needed that to a huge extent or anything, it was more the subtle things like my friends letting me pick which seat at dinner because I would obviously stick out further into the aisle than someone else. Now I feel "average" and it is wonderful.

    I haven't quite gotten to 100 pounds, but even getting this far, it feels pretty awesome. I went to a theater the other day, sat down, and realized that I wouldn't have fit in those seats when I was at my highest. I tightened the seat belt on the plane last time I flew. I can wear my dog out because going half a mile isn't a "long walk" anymore! I'm fitting into sizes of clothes that I hadn't ever even thought I could fit into—and it still surprises me when I do so. I've still got nearly 100 pounds to lose, but looking at how far I've come so far I can't imagine stopping, or going back. It's all been 100% worth it.
