I still have around 30 pounds I want to lose, but felt like sharing my journey so far with some of the newbies who may feel like they'll never get there!

I have been on this journey for 4 years now! I have been dieting and exercising only, no special fads just watching calories in vs. calories out! Have cut out mostly processed foods besides the occasional treats (i'm sure that's why it's taken 4 years)

I started at 340 pounds, and am now officially 198! If I can do it you can do it!

    You say you have 30 more lbs to lose; I disagree. Jaw dropped.

    That is AWESOME! Congratulations! I keep doing well for a few months, then dropping off... then having to RE-start over and over, and it's been going on a few years! I think my "all or nothing cause gotta lose this much, by this date" approach is obviously not working- so I'm trying to look at it in a new way and so I love seeing progress like yours- it that tells me it CAN be done and to just keep watching the calories and don't set unrealistic expectations that make me quit when I can't obtain them! You look amazing, and it's got to be a huge feeling of accomplishment!!
