    Great job! I got the same response from doctors for back pain. I didn't believe them, but what do you know 30# lighter and much less pain! You caught on quicker than I did.

    As long as you've got the results you were going for, that's fine. Glad you got rid of the pain.

    Thanks for the flower and the compliments. This appears to be a never ending journey for me at the moment. LOL Some days I wish I could just sit back and not watch my food and exercise. But I've done that for 8 days on a recent holiday in Scotland and the return to the gym was not enjoyable. Crazy how quick you can get less fit.

    Thank you all! Much appreciated. Someone said in Slimming World yesterday ".... I know someone else who is famous as you ..." ... I was like: "Famous? What do you mean?" And she said: "Well, if you aren't already, you should be!" ... Haha

    A little update. I've gained a little over the last few weeks and was out of my target range by 4.5 pounds for the first time since the end of December 2011. That shocked me a bit, so I pulled the breaks and lost 7 pounds last week. Back in my target range and more. Whoop, whoop.

    Fantastic work!

    As a big guy myself (186cm/120kg) it's good to see it done. Did you have any problems with excess skin at all??

    I didn't have much of an issue with excess skin because I lost the weight slowly over such a long period. Which appears to be the healthier option anyway.
