My weight on 12/1/2013 is 203.4 lbs. That's down from 234 lbs on August 1, 2013.

Barring some massive break from my diet and exercise plans, I should meet my 2013 resolution of weighing less than 200 lbs before the end of the year.

2005, I went from 200 lbs to 160, Jan to Aug.

Good luck (mine was type 2 diabetes, but the real kicker was being told I was obese.)

Today, tipped the scales 171.5.

Still should have been in the low 160s, ideal (ha ha) was officially 150.

And it's smart that you're losing slowly. The changes you've made are likely to be lasting.

I like seeing these weight loss success stories!

I was at 195 in the middle of June. Now I'm at 167.8 lbs.

Keep at it!

Losing weight is hard. Keep up the good work.

I have been suckered into running a 5k this weekend in spite of not being a runner and in the last three or four weeks of training I've lost 13 lbs. Granted most of it seems to be sweat since I tend to look like I just got out of the shower after exercising, but still.
