Yahoooooooo!! 

100.2 lbs down.  50+ inches lost.  BMI down 15.3 points.  

-I can walk without feeling like my lungs are going to collapse and my calves are on fire
-It's easier to do......... pretty much everything
-From a tight 32W to 26 in pants and from 4-5X tops to 2X, thus allowing me to shop at Kohl's and Macy's and not just Fashion Bug/Lane Bryant/online.
-Everwhere I go things feel more comfortable.  Cars, theatres, conference rooms.
-I only sweat when I workout vs. sweating daily by mundane tasks.
-Cross my legs for hours at a time vs. not being able to at all
-I'm enjoying and actually craving foods that are better for me.  It's a long and hard process, but -I'm slowly changing my relationship with food.  It's fuel now, not twisted therapy. 

Still a long way to go, but to know I'm more than halfway there does my heart good.  I've never lost this volume of weight in any of my previous attempts.

365 (15 lbs down)

I know it was the nasty letter to Mr. 0.8 Pound that pushed it over!

Congrats!
