    I just want to be truly healthy. I have such a wonderful husband and I want to be able to grow old with him. I want to be able to be active with him - ride bike, walks on the beach, dancing - w/o having to stop and rest. It would be so wonderful to buy clothes in regular stores. I travel with my job and I would love to be able to get on the plane and not worry about getting a seat extender or if there is going to be another large person beside me. I am currently 308 and would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see 150 but for now I am going to aim for 175.

    Good OP.
    You asked: "Why are you doing/did you do this? What moments were really memorable in your decision making process?"
    Frankly, I was desperate. In my late 60s, I had suffered some health and stress setbacks the previous year and a half and gained considerable weight. I simply could not fathom any form of satisfactory retirement (next year) and had no idea how I could manage to lose as much weight as I had to lose (nearly 100 pounds). I also knew that even if I lost the weight I'd never maintain the weight loss -- since I NEVER HAVE BEFORE.
    I remember telling someone I was just so f**k**g disappointed in myself.
    In the end, I really had no other options. I'd tried all the others (at least 40 diets throughout my life, lots of weight lost and regained). I kept thinking of the famous Einstein definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
    I'm not insane. And I'm not stupid. And I don't have time to mess around anymore. So I did this.
