I joined a weight loss competition in January and have been extremely dedicated to it. We did our final weigh in today and I was at 198 pounds for the first time since I was 20, with 30 pounds lost since January. I've lost 50 pounds before, but I think I've made the necessary lifestyle changes to avoid having to lose that much weight again. Feels good man.
