YAY! 1 - 2 caffeinated in the morning to early afternoon, and 1 - 2 decaf every evening. Diet Coke in cans, Diet Pepsi in plastic bottles.

Walked 8.5 hilly miles.

You are amazing! You look incredible and are so inspirational! Thank you for sharing!

My experience has taught me that for me, it's not a diet; it's a lifestyle change. It doesn't have a goal weight or an event/date that signifies it's over. Make small sustainable changes. Log everything. I'll be rooting for you.

Congratulation on your great progress. Thank you for sharing and inspiring!

I can't even put into words how wonderful it feels. Physically and mentally, I feel like a new person. But unless you are prepared to change your lifestyle, your success will likely be short lived. Don't view this as a diet with a goal and an end date. When I've taken that approach in the past, I put all the weight back on…

You look awesome! Congratulations! Thank you for sharing and inspiring!

I eat sweets every single day. Some days I have a Devil Dog, some days I have processed sugar on my cereal, and some days it's cookies, brownies, and/or ice cream. I also make sure I have a calorie deficit every day.

Congratulations! You look awesome! Thank you for sharing and inspiring.

Hi Tim. You are not alone. There are many of us with similar stories here. Best of luck on your journey; I am rooting for you.

I'm 50 something and REALLY serious this time too.

That is awesome! I owe so much of my success to the support of my wife throughout this journey.

I love pizza too much to take the time to weigh it.

That's an amazing transformation! Great work! Thank you for sharing and inspiring.

You look AMAZING! Thank you for sharing. You are truly an inspiration.

1) I can tie my shoes now. I actually had to keep my shoes tied loosely so I could slip them on and off. I can now kneel down and comfortably tie them, no breath holding or gasping. 2) I fit in all chairs now. I used to avoid chairs with armrests. 3) I can ride a bike for 50 miles and take a 5 mile walk shortly after.

There is lots of good advice in the posts above mine. The journey in front of me seemed so daunting and quite impossible when I started. You need to view the changes you have to make, to reach your goal, as a lifestyle changes. It's not a diet. Trust me, I know. Diets end and the weight goes back on. The changes you make…

I dread interacting, in person, with people I don't know and many I do know. I don't have "the art gene." I have little appreciation for music, movies, theater, works of art in general.

Some many great successes.

Congratulations! What an amazing transformation and inspirational story. Thank you for sharing.

Congratulations! I also am always cold. And I thought I was just joking when I said it was because I lost my layers of insulation.

Cool! There'll be more meat for me!

Queue up Dr. Oz!

Happy Anniversary and congratulations to you both!

^^^ This is good advice. You have to find what works for you, but finding low calorie filling foods that you like is great start.

Director of Supply Chain Solutions. I figure out to move stuff to exactly where and when it's needed as inexpensively as possible.

What a wonderful and hopefully inspiring post for young people. I can confirm much of what you are saying.

It's pretty arrogant of people to think they know more about your journey than you do. Ignore them. You are doing GREAT!

Great job! You look terrific! Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
