50 pounds down - Posting for Motivation

I started to lose weight in April of 2011. At that point, my highest, I was at 346 pounds. I had just finished graduate school and knew that I hated the way I looked, felt and how I perceived people to be reacting to me based on my physicality. I moved to a new city, my hometown and felt renewed and at home again. By October, I was 325 pounds. Then I met the love of my life. By the time I met him, he had lost nearly 100 pounds himself, so we were both excited about continuing our weight-loss together. By February of this year, I had dropped down to 288 pounds. That didn't last long. Life stress, work, using food as an emotional crutch caused my to gain about 5 pounds back, up and down for the last 5 months. My partner and I seem to feed each others bad eating habits and he has also gained about 15 pounds. Looking to get my life in order and truly adopt a healthy lifestyle for the long term. It's tough, but I need to do it now for myself and my family.
