48 pounds lost - and I've finally hit Onederland!

Hi everyone, just wanted to share some good news.

After many, many failed attempts, I embarked on a yet another weight loss journey late last year. But this one is actually producing results. In November, I weighed 247 pounds. As of today, I've dropped down to 199.2 pounds! I almost cried when I saw the number on the scale. I'm a 40-year-old man, and I don't remember ever being under 200. I hovered around 250 since my teen years. So this is a huge milestone for me and I feel really proud.

The difference this time are the lifestyle changes I've made, and I have this sub to thank for that. I've learned about and incorporated CICO into my life. And it works! I've also been walking a lot - I started with a goal of 10,000 steps a day, and recently bumped that up to 15,000.

People are starting to notice the changes in my physical appearance. I've struggled with confidence and self-esteem issues all my life, much of it because of my weight. It feels really great to get compliments on how I look and my progress so far.

One downside to all this is having to constantly buy new pants! The size 36 pairs of pants I bought just this past March are already too big! But that's a small price to pay for the overall improvements in my life.

Thank you all for inspiring me, teaching me about CICO, and helping me finally figure things out.
