A cautionary tale. Losing weight fast isn't always the best way to go. About 5 years ago I weighed 286 lbs. In 2 years I lost 121 lbs (42%) and weighed in at 165.
This morning I weighed in at 236 lbs and I want to weigh 175 so I have 61 pounds to lose (26%). So this time I'm going to do it different and try to lose 20 lbs a year instead of 60 like I did last time. Hopefully my body will settle into a healthier routine, and then it will be easier to keep the weight off permanently.
