Thanks so much for sharing your story. I'm in a similar place and hope to be able to share my own success one of these days!

At my intermediate goal, success looks like ziplining with my teenage son at New River Gorge this summer. We went with a group three summers ago and I was the only one who had to stay behind on the ground. I never want to experience those emotions again if I can do anything to prevent it.

Rolled oats with banana and mixed spice, cooked in our microwave here.

In the States, jelly and jam are both fruit spreads that one might put on toast in the morning. Jam has chunks of fruit in it (but not as much as preserves), whereas jelly is made from fruit juice and has no pieces of fruit in it. AFAIK, your UK jelly is what we here would call Jell-O. Jell-O and yogurt sounds pretty good!

This. Focus on your eating habits to lose, exercise to maintain the loss. Set a small goal - so small you can't not hit it - then repeat it everyday. Never miss twice! (I'm 5'10" 36yo.

On weekdays, I tend toward plain quick oats with added wheat bran (fiber) and wheat germ (protein). Add water, nuke for a couple minutes, add spices and a large glass of water and I'm good for hours. Easy to make at my office too! Weekends, I enjoy scrambled eggs with ham, onions, and kale. And coffee. Always coffee.

Lest it be said that OP does not deliver, I present you the following: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Mountain-Products-Ultimate-Resistance/dp/B00DGAID78/ref=sr_1_2?s=sports-and-fitness&ie=UTF8&qid=1431713005&sr=1-2&keywords=black+mountain+resistance+bands I just got them this week, nearly two months later. What can I say -…

Opportunity does not equal obligation. I am a healthy person who makes healthy choices.

Not that I know of. It's just a high-res photo of an owl that I found a few years back on Google Images and saved to my computer. Makes a nifty avatar. http://ow.ly/KBkqy

+1 on seltzer water! It's saved me countless times.

Thanks for posting this link. That's the best advice I've seen for addressing my personal binging habits. I will have to save, print, and refer back often.

Thanks so much for sharing. I have a similar starting point and goals, and it's encouraging to see the proof that persistence pays off. Congratulations!!

Flavored sparkling water (Ice Mountain, La Croix, etc.) - just make sure there are no sweeteners! Always good to fill me up when a craving hits and I don't want to waste calories.
