It has been 18 months since i have started my journey. I am almost, but not quite at maintenance.
Starting weight: 335 (at doctors office midday clothed)
today's weight 194.2 (first thing in morning, right after shower)
lost: 130 pounds (approximately)
goal: when i am rid of my love handles. (I am guessing bout 20 more pounds)
starting date: Jan 6, 2014
Following pic was taken before i started

these were taken about 2 months ago


these were taken today.



My 2 cents of advice: find what works for you. I have not followed any of these fad or exclusionary diets or detoxes. Just cut back the calories I eat. I might eat sweets and alcohol just once a week, and cut out ice cream completely, but that is what gets me to my healthy deficit. What might work for other people is different. I figure If I have done this for 18 months, I know I can stick with it. Good luck to the rest of you
