I was hoping to hit 220 today, but I guess 219.6 will do. :-) This goes to show if you want something bad enough, and have people that care about you supporting you, you can do anything you set your mind to. I can't even begin to thank everyone that took time out of their lives to join me on my journey. Now for the numbers. Since 6/11/15 I have lost an average of .679 pounds a day, 43.4% of my original weight for a total of 168.4 pounds in 248 days. Nothing spectacular, but not too shabby. This was achieved with no surgeries, and no diet plans. Just a healthy change in diet and a more active lifestyle, but mainly walking. (I'm not knocking anyone that has Gastric Bypass. I had considered it but wanted to give a try without it)

That is beyond amazing without specific diets, plans, etc...! I was proud of 45 lbs over the same amount of time, busting my hump at the gym and dieting like a body builder!!
Congrats!!!

You look fantastic, well done0

A well deserved congratulations to you. You must feel like a million bucks. Just one question though; are you dealing with loose skin? I have quite a bit of weight to lose myself, and have a rather large gut. I am concerned about possibly ending up with a large amount of loose skin when I get to my goal weight.0

The last time I was at this weight was when I was around 25 years old. It's an awesome feeling. I do have a little loose skin on my belly, upper legs, and just a smidge under my arms. It's really not as bad as I thought it would be. It's nothing like what I have seen on TV shows like "Skin Tight". I am truly lucky and blessed.
