It's my 2-week weigh in day and I was pleasantly surprised. It's more of a drop than I expected.

I have less than 20 lbs now to go before I hit my goal of 120. Although it has been a long trip, I can definitely see the end now. Coming from 271 lbs to even here has been very rewarding for me as far as my quality of life goes.

Thanks to everyone on FS who has supported me along the way. I couldn't have made it this far without y'all.
62.9 kg Lost so far: 60.1 kg.    Still to go: 8.4 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.

(Cont... ) I've learned three things along the way that have helped me keep on track (besides the very supportive people here on FS): 1. Eat Less. 2. Move More. 3. Be Patient. It took you 10 years to put all that weight on. It's not going to all come off in a month. Another axiom that I've picked up here that I like is: You eat to be the weight you want. You exercise to be the shape you want. Meaning, to me anyway, you will never exercise off a decision to eat 5 donuts for breakfast, so just choose not to. I'm a really big eater, so the best way I found to cut calories and still be able to eat enough food to feel satisfied is to replace all starches, breads, pastas, etc. with veggies. Then, cut way back on my meat portions. Looking around the internet I found tons of great recipes for vegetables that have helped me still eat tons of tasty food and still lose weight. I sometimes have to modify them by skipping the oil or using PB2 instead of peanut butter or using almond milk instead of whole, but it's still tasty. And that's how I've gotten here so far. I hope you also find success!
