Thanks to everyone out there who has been supportive throughout this process. I have went from 315 lbs in August of 2009 to 195 lbs today (November 24th, 2010) My body fat % went from 35% to 15% and my BMI from 38.3 (obese) to 23.7 (normal). It took a lot of hard work and most importantly PATIENCE!!!! I took my daily calorie intake down from god only knows what to 1800 cal/day of healthy/nutritious food (no white flours, very limited sugar, easy on carbs, and lots of lean protein and fruits and vegetables). I worked out 4-5 nights a week doing 45-60 minutes of pretty intense cardio and 30 minutes of resistance training. I had my times where I didn't follow protocol and made bad food decisions but I told myself each time I was not going to let this one slip up tarnish all my progress and got right back on track. If there was one lesson I learned from this journey it is that patience is soooo important. If you are doing the work and staying on track the weight WILL come off - you just have to be patient and let the process happen. It will payoff in the end. Thanks again to all the people who have given kind comments and motivation throughout this process. I appreciate it all.

Great work, man- your start weight is pretty close to where I began, and it would be a dream to get to the same weight you've now achieved. Congratulations on your hard work paying off, very inspiring.
 
I agree with Emerald. I'm sure it was a huge change, and we'd love to see it.

Congratulations. Your hard work paid off!
