Hey all!

I posted here a while back. Never really got active in the forum. Frankly; because I had never gotten a response to any of my threads (it happens) so I just kind of stuck to lurking and reading.

But I do want to say 'thank you' to the folks who have posted a lot of good information around here. July 15th I was 330 pounds. Today I am 240 pounds. Getting darn close to that 100lb mark. I'd like to shave off another 40 or 50 after that! Wow!

It feels great! I think the weirdest thing though, is that I seriously woke up one morning and felt thinner. The weight loss was gradual and everything, but one day I just happened to walk by a mirror and stared at myself for a second... it felt like I had lost all that weight overnight. Also, I have been preferring tight fitting clothes for the first time in my life. They feel so much more comfortable. I guess before I just didn't like them because I was self conscious?

Either way, this will probably be another un-responded to thread; but that's okay! I appreciate what I've read and learned from the many topics that do seem to get off the ground!
 
I just checked and all your other postings were made within a few days around what is the August bank holiday last year... I guess we must have all been fairly busy with day to day life and family related issues around then... There arent too many of us that hang around and pop in regularly... I just look at the "most recent postings" thread - and all you need is some people to pop in and just go to their own diaries and say "this is todays wegiht" and they have pushed your postings off the page...

I want to apologise for the lack of response from us... I just checked and your postings were really good...

I had a few times where people weren't reply to my threads. I honestly felt like I was just...not important enough. That has been my downfall. I need accountability, so I came back, and I have chosen to stick to my thread even if no one replies. I'm doing this for me, and no one else.

Look at what you've done! You're amazing. You don't need anyone else to tell you that you can do this, because know you know that you can. If you make a journal here I'll reply to it, because I want to see you succeed, because that's inspiring!

Keep going until you hit your goal, you'll feel even more amazing :). Thank you for sharing.

There's no need to feel that way. I don't feel that way. The discussions here seem to focus on Journals and lifting each other up. And that's great! I just never got into that so I kind of faded away is all. But I wanted to sneak back in and update everyone on my progress! I may post more updates and maybe even a Journal I guess. But the key to success for me was just to not make it so complicated. Heck, I rarely even talk about losing weight. I don't ever say anything to anybody about it. Selfishly; that's kind of cool because you know the comments are really genuine because you haven't told them you're losing weight. Especially when you see folks you haven't seen in a few months and they take a step back!
