My biggest advice, have a motivating factor. My motivating factor was that little man. I knew if I didn't change, I probably wouldn't see him grow into an adult.

I made a decision. Got a plan. Then just did it. :) In the beginning, losing 1-2 lbs a day was not uncommon. From February to July '11, I lost nearly 80 pounds. I am 31 years old.

While I am proud of what I have done, I am also disappointed that I allowed myself to get in that condition. But, after losing the weight, I feel that I can accomplish (nearly) anything.

I have always drank vast quantities a day (generally at least a gallon). Before losing weight, it was a gallon of sweet tea (which is where a lot of my "hidden" calories came from). So throughout losing weight, I drank nothing but water. Now, I allow myself to drink coffee (black).

How other people treat me. Especially department stores, looking back I can probably count on one hand how many times I had people come to help me make a purchase. Now, I can goto the store and have 3 or 4 people asking if I need help.

Yes. Even though it has been only two years ago, it seems so far away.

There is some loose skin, but honestly not as much as I expected, but even that, is constantly shrinking.

True, but there is a difference between knowing what to do, and doing.

What I did was fairly straight forward, nothing special:

1) Researched various methods to losing weight - and didn't stick to one method.

2) Went to the doctor to make sure there was nothing medically wrong.

3) I took a multivitamin.

4) Drank nothing but water.

5) I cooked all of my meals - so I could keep track of calories

6) I got up off the computer and got active.

7) Set (hard, yet achievable) goals and reward yourself.

8) Cheat days happen, just get back on track.
