So, how'd you do it?

Nothing fancy. I actually stopped eating fast food to save money and realized I'd lost about 15 pounds so I decided to actually try to lose more. I started counting every calorie I ate and I walked Monday - Friday. I started only walking 5 minutes, doesn't seem like much, but at 270 pounds it was all I could do. I walked in may parents back yard because I didn't want people to see me. I eventually made my way to our road that added hills and went up to 20 minutes. I stayed around 1300 cal a day. I did have a cheat meal a week. Normally chinese with my mom. I lost the first 100 pounds in about a year. Took another year to lose the last 30 pounds. After my wedding over the last 3 years I've put on about 20 that I'm working on getting off. I've lost 15 so far since January 2nd so I'm close. The only time I used a structured program was I joined Weight Watchers a couple months before my wedding to lose the last 15. Guess I'm rambling...sorry...

That's the way to do it really. Congratulations again, you look amazing, you are inspiration to me, and I'm sure a lot of other people.

Ditto to the OP.  I wanted to tell you awhile back when I saw your siggy that you looked great!!  And definitely wanted to know your "secret."  It just shows that hard work pays off. 

I also have a lot of weight to lose and you've definitely inspired me.  I hope that I can have the same determination as you did.   

Thanks for sharing!!
