M/36/5'8 [440 lbs to 240 lbs] (22 months) Life has been pretty rough for me and a lot of other people lately, but hey, after dropping 200 lbs, with a little muscle for fat trade, this new XL shirt looks better than the 6X I was sporting 2 years ago.

Lately I'm dealing with the first legitimate health scare of my life. Financial and personal struggles are at an all time high. None the less, the wife and I are down over 300 lbs (me 200, her 100!) and have another 100 to go ( 60 for me, 40 for her). Initially, in our house 90% more than usual, we both backslid. We reversed course and are back on track, but please give yourself some breathing room in hard times. Keep yourself accountable but remember that we are human not machines, our programming isn't quite iron clad.

Whether you are at the final plateu or just starting nd make a mistake or many, just get back on that hoarse and beat it to death with celery while you ride into the sunset.

Life is tough, many times shine a light on that for everyone and your ability to persevere and keep pushing, despite the bullshit tossed in your face, is the absolute testament to your ability to succeed. Keep on keeping on good people of reddit land.
