EVERY pound lost is a struggle now (was a pain in the a-- to break through the 320 mark). I feel like I'm starving myself, but I've got to press on, as my goal is within my grasp. Eventually, I'm going to have to stop being a cheapskate and buy smaller clothes. There's only so many more holes I can drill into my belt :-). Think I'll keep the belt as a reminder of how large I let myself become.
As far as before and after pics, I'm holding off on those until I reach my goal. I don't plan on stopping at 300--my doctor wants me at 250 or less long-term.
And now what all 3 of my readers have been waiting on, my week 40 weight loss numbers:
Starting weight: 400.2 pounds on 11/16/2010
Current weight: 314.4 (as of 07/12/2011, 40 weeks into the diet)
Net change (week): 10.6 pounds lost (over 6 weeks)
Total net change: 85.8 pounds lost
Goal: Get down to 300 pounds (or less) within 1 year (by 11/16/2011)
