I have lost considerable weight in the last couple years.
#1) I'm glad I kept all my clothes from university. They fit again. Though I'm not too sure that Ocean Pacific shirt is still in style.
#2) I owe my success to (in no particular order):
- LoseIt (iPhone app and web site)
- Taking Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS) support group
- having a swimming pool so I can do my favorite exercise whenever I want
BTW - TOPS recommends giving away all the old clothes that are now too big for you. Not wanting to buy bigger clothes gives more motivation to keeping the pounds off.
