Thanks, folks...

Tiffie, yours is a truly amazing weight loss. You must be so proud. I hope that you can keep the motivation strong to maintain the weight - it must get much harder when you're slimmer. You look really beautiful in your pictures.

Meg - good luck with seeing your weight drop as you continue this diet. II find reading other people's stories to be really important to me - particularly people who struggle to lose weight and have the tenacity to keep going long-term.

Two people I find very inspirational are Jimmy Moore and Bowulf, both of whom do YouTube videos. I don't know whether you've found those yet, but here are some links:

This is Jimmy's menu blog, where he logs all his food intake, plus his diet progress and exercise regime:
