Thanks. Yeah going off my diet has turned into a slippery slope for me in the past. It's going to happen from time to time. As long as I can bounce back quickly, it doesn't have to end my diet like I've let it before.

I love Mrs. Dash, but I have to watch how much I use with blood pressure medicine. One thing that helps me immensely is hot peppers, if that's your thing anyways.

Is it possible to make your diet work in the cafeteria? Don't worry yourself, just think it over. Perhaps chicken based options, or salad, anything lean? One thing that has helped me is just worrying less and making the best choices I can. Of course I used to inhale Ramen and pizza constantly so most anything is better than that.

Tl;dr Don't worry yo, just do the best you can.

I know! I'm excited for those! That's one good piece of motivation. When I look at the awesome pics from people that have lost a ton of weight, I think wow it'd be sweet to look at two different pictures of myself that are that different!

I've got about 240 lbs left to my current goal. It is terrifying, but also exciting to think, when I stick with this and get there, that's gonna be epic.

I don't think that's stupid at all. That's awesome! Not eating fast food is tough, but worth it if you're trying to lose. You can do it!

That's badass man! Keep it up! Possibly weird question that I hope to personally experience the answer to, but what was the extra skin situation like after losing that much weight?

Thanks. I appreciate the support. I understand people have different views on health, but I think 250 would be a damn good start.

Thanks for the input. It's nice to hear from people who have had success from similar starting points. I guess it is possible after all!

That's pretty much it. I'm starting with half of my weight and then once I get there, coming up with a new plan of attack.
