    Thank you. More importantly, I feel like a different person ... 10-15 years younger. That's probably the best benefit for me out of this.

    You are very impressive! You made a decision, you formed a plan, then you stayed with it until you accomplished your goal. Each step along the way, you grabbed the bull by the horns and and just kept increasing your effort and building your strength. Wow!

    What were some of the things you said to yourself along the way to keep yourself motivated and on track?

    When I visited my doctor after an 80 pound loss, I had a lower abdomen issue which my doctor said was excess skin. He recommended surgery, but I'm not brave enough. Maybe once the kids are grown and out of the house...

    I really liked this story, especially because different exercise was right for different phases of your weight loss and fitness level. I see a lot of younger people describing programs that would injure or discourage someone with physical conditions, older persons, and people with a great deal of weight to lose. Also, you quickly recognized and accepted that this was a two year project for you. It was all done in a healthy and safe way, and your results are outstanding! Great post!

    Many thanks for all of the kind comments. MFP has played a key part in this journey, between the logging, the support of friends, and the wealth of info and success stories in the forums.

    Someone mentioned the "loose skin" topic. I'll give an update on that one, hopefully tonight. Preview - yes I have some, which after a 105 lb drop in 8.5 months, is to be expected.
