I'm not one to comment on posts, or even post, but I just wanted to say way to go! This post really inspired me!

FANTASTIC! I can't wait until my arthritis pain fades with more weight loss. It's pretty much gonna be awesome.

I haven't checked My Topics in a while so I apologize for the delayed response...
I guess eating (sort of) clean, and a plant-based diet, really helped me a lot. Plants fill me up and keep me satisfied, while the amount of calories I consume is pretty low. (I figure I probably consume like 300-400 calories when I eat a HUGE salad with low-calorie healthy dressing on it, and I'm not hungry for like 5-6 hours afterward.) And I work out pretty hard, when I get the time...which is probably only 4-5 days a week

But I try to go for an hour or cardio either running (week 3 of Couch to 5K, wooo) or stair climber/elliptical at the gym (ideally an hour-though I often run out of time and can only do 1/2 hour), and 1/2 hour to 45 mins of lifting three days a week (and again, this is the ideal, not the reality). I have a really busy life, so I have to make exercise a priority or it doesn't happen heh. Fortunately, I love exercise and can no longer picture life without it.
Let me know if that helps or if you want more information/what you would like to know.

And thanks everyone for the kind words
