    I can't read all 20 pages haha but do you have any idea how much lean body mass you lost? Just wondering as I am going through a similar journey but doing everything I can to hold onto muscle.

    Big difference and awesome achievement- thanks for sharing!!!

    Thank you CCG it was my pleasure to share. Best wishes achieving your own goals; competing in a triathlon this summer would be amazing! I'm debating whether to enter the "Tough Mudder" event in Drumheller in early August... I think that'd be a blast too!

    You look great, but more importantly, it sounds like you feel great! Congratulations, and thanks for sharing your story!

    Thank you Pearlfinder! I sure do feel great!!! It's quite an incredible feeling having spent my entire adult life obese then, what seems like overnight, have become fit! Inexplicable really. Really... the pleasure was mine to share :smile:

    @DogRiverDude~ Great job on your journey. I have about 50 lbs I would love to rid myself of. 30+ lbs gone presently, and it feels great to eat to energize, not eat to just fill a void. In the past I used other companies, products to help me lose weight. Now its my success's and not a Jenny Craig, or Weight Watcher thing. A saying that comes to mind when I look at your before and after pics:

    Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything.
    Maybe its unbecoming everything that isn't you, so you can be who you were meant to be
    in the first place     :smile:

    Good on ya! (as my Norwegian mother would say)

    What a fantastic thread--you've done an amazing job and I think you have a great attitude about it--I love it when taking a healthy, moderate approach works so well for people. You are also right that it is more a matter of determination to stick to a plan than it is actually hard or even hard work. Difficult, but for a different reason (and one within our control!) Thanks for posting this--I got the link because someone posted it on their own wall.

    Thank you StreamGirl! I'm so shocked with all the responses and try my best to keep up (I'm only 5 days behind now PHEW!!!). So yeah... during the loss process I ate quite well and simply cut out the nutrient-poor/calorie-dense food. You worded it SO well, better than I did... it's not difficult, it's just self-control (determination).
