GOB,

I've been watching this thread for a while. I admire you. I am a former fatty. I am 5'2" and once weighed 220lbs. I lost 100lbs and it wasn't all that hard. Keeping it off is much harder.

People ask me my secret, and I don't really have one. I lost it the old fashioned way. Low fat, no sugar, butter or fried foods. My exercise was walking 2 miles a day with 3lb weights on my ankles. I ate lots of pre-packaged meals (Lean Cuisine, Smart Ones, Healthy Choice). That was an easy way for me to keep count of my daily calories and fat grams. They also have dessert! Anyway, like I said, it's been harder to keep it off. (Especially living with a man who can eat as much as 3 grown men and never gain an ounce)

Best of luck in your continued weight loss venture!
