I weighed in the other day at 256lbs. I officially lost over 150lbs and got another ribbon. I am 16lbs away from goal of 240lbs. I started this process on June 11th 2012.
I am only a few weeks away from starting to introduce food back into my diet. The transition phase takes 4 weeks. Then I will be eating a balanced low calorie diet the rest of my life. Reducing the amount I eat by consuming less and choosing foods that are healthier and lower in calories.
I'll continue to loose weight during the transition and plan to stick to a lower calorie diet throughout the year to maintain the weight loss. I have a couple of areas I want to focus on as part of my life long goal of keeping the weight off.
1. Eat less. No matter what the food (no such thing as bad or taboo food). The less healthy the food the less I should eat of it. Don't eat more calories a day that I need to maintain.
2. Change the proportions of what I eat. Mostly vegetables and fruits with protein based foods and very little carbs or sugars. I've been a vegetarian for over 26 years its about time I eat like one.
3. Stay active. Walk mostly at least 4 to 5 times a week. Do things that get me moving.

Go, Jeff, go! You are truly awesome!
I fully agree with your "3 step plan". This has worked for me (I follow Weight Watchers and that's basically what they teach) for almost 7 years now.
Good luck on your journey to your goal!
It is very good to know about your successful weight loss story. Your weight loos tips are very handy as i am also planning to loose weight
