Wow, you lost half yourself in a year! That is crazy! With that kind of results, you should have gone on The Biggest Loser and won big cash while doing it! Good job on the hard work!
I peaked at 270 in 2006 and I'm now down to 225. Over half of that has come in the last two years, but I am taking it slowly, learning about what I need to do to keep it up and where I tend to fail. I want to get to 210 by the end of this year though and I'm positive that it will be done.
For me, I need to watch my portions when I eat. I cut out slurpees altogether, and that saw a quick downward trend in my weight loss, but it plateaued when I increased my pop consumption to make up for my slurpee cravings. Now I'm trying to figure out how to will myself to not drink so much pop.
I find that I'm a bit lucky in that I can eat the sinful foods, and not have it affect me too bad, as long as I control how much I have. On top of that I have to stay active. There was a time in my life where I didn't get much physical activity and I didn't watch how much I ate, and thats why I got up to 270. I'm a lot more active now and how active I am has a noticeable affect on my weight. I find it easy to control my weight by watching my portions and getting more exercise. The problem is staying motivated to keep it up. I'll too often go into a period of time where I feel like I can do whatever I want because I know I can work off any damage I do.
