Great job. Congratulations on all the hard work!!

Oh that one always makes me CRANKY when I hear it.

"Live a little" is what fat people say to you when you lose weight and you don't want to eat French fries or dessert or whatever it is they're trying to get you to eat so you'll be just like everyone else. Some of us need to stick with our good habits, almost all the time, because it reinforces the harder, but healthier,…

Great job. Congratulations on all the hard work!

I drank 3-4 diet sodas a day and was 300+ pounds for over 25 years. I am down over 190 pounds and still drink 3-4 diet sodas a day. For me personally I see no negative effects.

Exactly the same for me.

I started at 349 pounds so it took a few months before I really started to notice.

Word!

I did this and didn't look back.

I'd be more freaked out NOT being able to weigh while trying to maintain. This would be true for me as well!

At 349 pounds my feet, ankles, knees and back all ached and hurt almost all of the time. Now at 157# none of those bother me anymore.

3x/day for me.

I started at 349, and 20 months later I am at 157. You can do this!!

+1 on the Creamette 150 pasta.

This exactly! Door County Coffee = SO GOOD!

I was able to lose 120# in a year using CICO.

Spot on!!

This right here.

First thing every morning for me.

This exactly!

After a 192# loss I have some loose skin. But hell, I'll take that over the unhealthy fat any day!

Agreed!

It was possible for me, but then again I had over 190+ pounds to lose.

These all sound really good. PB2 = SO GOOD!

This I like!

I credit calorie counting for a 192# loss in 20 month's. I don't think I would have ever accomplished it without counting calories.

This will be the hardest of them all for me!!

That in 20 months I could be rid of the extra almost 200# I had been carrying around for 20+ years.

THIS!! Only instead of 2 years, make it 20+!
