Good luck to you. I need to get serious about my own weight loss again. I'm a male and 5'10", so when I topped out at 315 (highest I ever saw on the scale) I decided I couldn't live like that anymore. I did the yo yo weight thing. I went from 275 to about 195 in 6 months, but not in a healthy way. I quickly regained it all and then some, up to 315 about a year and a half later. I started trying to do things the healthy way and got to 220, then slacked and started drinking excessively and went right back to 250ish. Last year, I dropped that 50 and got back to 200, which for my body structure is about goal weight. Somehow, I've lost the motivation again and in the past year I put 25 back on. So, my advice to you is to make sure you're losing the weight in a healthy way. You'll come to understand that this isn't going to be just about losing the weight, but it will have to be a total lifestyle change to maintain the weight loss. Good luck, and keep us updated!
