    One benefit I didn't realize would occur is that I can handle the summer weather more easily. I used to really detest the summer because of how unbearable the heat and humidity are where we live. Without that extra 110 lbs of insulation, I'm handling this summer much better, even the days where we have heat advisories. I still prefer winter weather but at least the summers are more bearable.

    Anyway, I thought I'd share my journey and I hope everyone else finds success on theirs.

    First of all, your whole story is awesome. You've put in a lot of hard work and you look fantastic, but this piece right here just gave me hope!

    LOL, I absolutely cannot sleep when it is in the 70s in the summer. I've lost 30lbs and it's getting better, but if I can be at goal next summer I think I'll be feeling alright. It's 100 here today and I'm looking forward to next year.

    I started at 247 and am now 135ish. I'm 5'6". And I forgot to mention but I was 51 years old when I started so this can be done at a somewhat advanced age. Yes, if I can do it, you can too! I have no idea what finally got me motivated - I have/had no health issues - but hubby and I wandered up to the local gym one day last summer, joined and I never looked back.

    I have to take jackets with me everywhere I go! The really fun thing is that I found some on sale for $3.99 in the kids section and an XL fits! I stocked up so I can keep one in each of our cars and in acouple of spots around the house. It's a very welcome, unexpected benefit. We're under a heat advisory yet again today. How many days until October?
