Hey all, long time lurker, first time poster. I have used these success stories to help me along so figure its only right to share mine.
I wrote a long blog about it which you can read here, Skip down to Journey to weight-loss for the strictly what I did portion.

    Got a chance to read your blog. I like the way you just decided to do this and figured it out. It's funny to me that for something as difficult as a large weight loss, the hardest part of it is just deciding to do it. I know this isn't true for everyone, but I think I was like you, I just had to decide to do it and do it, and from there it's not that hard.

    That was definitely my situation, in this day and age the info is out there it's just a matter of getting out and finding it. The rest is really up to you, your will power, and finding the right thing that works for you. I wrote the blog to try to be motivational. I hope it works!

    Congratulations! That's terrific! You are definitely an inspiration to the rest of us who are chugging along on our own journeys.

    How much weight did you lose in facial hair? ;) Just kidding!

    Thanks everyone! I'm surprised at how many messages I've received from friends saying how inspirational it is to them.

    Great work and well done! I cant eat the same food as you as I'm a vegetarian but to see how you really turned it around is insperational! I have about 3 stone 5 lb to loose (around 50lb) so i'm on track from that. Keep it up mate and congrats thanks for sharing your story!

    Great work!

    Glad to see good results like this. I also would like to make it down to 190lbs in a similar time-frame, well done.
