    WTG! Great dedication... Hopefully, you can stay focused for the last 60lbs and keep it off!

    The 60lbs is just the start, once I hit that I plan to mold my body into something. Not sure what yet. This isn't a train you can get off I plan on living my life with my new found love. Moving heavy things around in the gym. You are looking good as well. Keep on rocking it!

    Mold it into a motorcycle or a boombox and then you can be a transformer!

    Sadly I'd go the bad guy route.. just so I could be a jet. Then I could be like the guy in the "like a boss" music video :-D

    Thank you for actually posting the route you chose to lose the weight! You are so right, most people post their stories, and I love to read them, they are motivating, but I am always left with the question of HOW?! How did they lose it!? Glad you shared in such great detail!

    I do have a question regarding the speed of your weight loss.....That is a lot of weight to drop so quickly! What happened to the skin that had stretched to accomodate the added fat and weight? When you lose it that fast, does it leave the skin sagging and drooping or does it manage to regain some elasticity and return to the proper shape? I am curious because I know I would never be able to afford to have any skin reconstructive surgery to tighten it up or anything, if that were the case....Thanks!

    You sir, are awesome.

    It's great to see someone setting goals, getting the knowledge to reach them, and then attacking them head-on.

    My belly has drooped a bit, weights and toning really helps with that. As well as is staying hydrated. A lot of people worry about droopy skin, it will happen if you have a lot to lose, the best part is it tightens up. I'll notice my skin hangs a bit then it tightens up some. It just always seems to be a couple steps behind the fat loss. Stay hydrated, and tone your body. It may take it awhile but it'll pull itself in over time! I'll take a little loose skin over carrying around pounds of fat! Glad you joined us here on MFP. Let's rock it in 2012!

    whoa, you put new meaning to the word " focus".............I can understand your determination, if you didn't have it, you'd still be 358 lbs.........

    I started where you are, and have about 28 lbs left, I weighed less before the holidays, and unfortunately, I gained, but its all good..........I am focused, I made a resolution on Jan 1 to be back where I was 10/30/2011 and its getting closer

    I applaud you, you didn't look for short cuts, but took the necessary steps to acheive your goal............I reread your post 2 times, its like reading my own stats, but my pant size is now 35 and thats about where I want to be......also, I just took my blood pressure, 114/80 and Im 56 and taking NO meds............cool, huh?

    Thanks for typing that all out, Im gonig to use it when I feel I need a lift..........best wishes, Lloyd

    Thanks for the kind words. These reminded me of a quote I had to go look back up and then post on my news feed as well. When I was looking for inspiration starting out I came upon this quote.

    In this age, which believes that there is a short cut to everything, the greatest lesson to be learned is that the most difficult way is, in the long run, the easiest! --Henry Miller

    It put things into a lot of perspective and from there my minor ocd and computer nerd need to research everything took over!

    Most defiantly. The key to weight loss is finding what works for you. There are many paths one can take, you just have to find the path with the scenery you like.
