280lbs --> 174lbs

To be honest, in the beginning I just cut down my calorie intake (nothing extreme, just cut down portions and no snacking) and lost about 30 lbs in the first month. I eat veggies and low-calorie (& low sod.) soups mainly. I'm not a big meat eater and I no longer eat bread. I make lettuce roll-ups without the bread and LOVE them. In the beginning I just tried to move alittle bit more every day. Take the stairs instead of the elevator at school,etc. Then I mustered the strength and will-power to hit the gym. Now I exercise 5-6 times a week. I do cardio & weights.


Oh, and I drink water water water & more water.
 
Thanks so much everyone! Seriously means a lot!
I'm 5'6 exactly, if that helps!
 
Thanks so much everyone, again!
I guess the real "start" date of my weight-loss journey was November 2008. However, that was just me cutting out the junk food & trying to move more. The real "start" I would have to say would be March/April 2009.

Long process but lovin' the results so far!
