HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!!! I've only lost 75lbs so far and have at least 50 more to go but feel encouraged to put forth alittle more effort. My skin is sagging now(I lost the weight slower because of that concern.I'm in my mid 50's and hoped that would be the trick but alas I was wrong) but I think I'll deal with the wrinkles and the smaller bod.:)

Big Congrats i hope i have the same success. Keep up the good work very inspiring story thanks for sharing.

Congratulations!! That is amazing news!!! Thanks for sharing! I so want to be where you are now!!!! :)

Usual day is protein shake in morning (EAS carb advantage 110 calories); string cheese light (50 calories) around 11 - light carb master yogurt at 1:00 (60 calories); another string cheese at 2 or 3:00 (50 calories); another protein shake at 4 or so (110 calories); lien cuisine or equivalent for dinner (270-300 calories); snack at night varies - around 100 calories. I drink vitamin 0 water (0 calories) or crystal light (5-10 calories) throughout the day as well. I'm vegetarian. I have a cheat day about every 7-8 days where i'll go to 1200 calories or something - will have an ice cream or candy bar or something sweet.

Congrats!
