I remember reading this and thinking "Yeah getting below 300 feels great, but I bet getting below 200 feels even better" and don't you know it, it does feel better!

Thanks. I might just do that.
Well done on your weight loss! I've struggled for 4 years myself trying to get down to a size that I'm happy with and It doesn't help with all of the misinformation that's scattered all over the internet about what's healthy and what's not. I've been loosing weight quickly on a ketogenic diet, but always seem to cave in after reaching my desired weight and put it all back on, I think it's just hard to keep consistent with it. Recently though I've started a 23 day strategy (I'm usually skeptical of those kinds of lose weight quick schemes) and its pretty similar to a ketogenic diet but much less restricted and it seems to be working for me so far. Thanks for your story though jonom, just reading through this forum hass really inspired me to stick it out so keep it up man!!

Happy fourth of July! Otherwise known as the original Brexit! A rainy day (Of course!) so unfortunately I didn't get a lot of walking in. I skipped the weight exercise b/c my back was acting up again also I left the weights at work. I probably should have ate a little less.
