good work brother. I now what it feels like to loose 100lbs. You loose a person and feel like a new person at the same time. Great feeling.
The way i lost it was pretty extreme. I ate nothing but raw fruits and vegetables and the 100lbs flew off in about 3-5 months without exercising. Can't remember how long it took but it was crazy fast. I was dropping about 5 lbs a week (not sure how healthy that is) but everything i ate was healthy and i never "cheated." I went from 280 to 180.
Keep up the good work and I hope you reach your goal and ideal weight.
I have One tip i can offer. When dropping so much weight don't buy new outfits or you'll end up giving away clothes you bought a month ago to your friends and it will get expensive. I speak from experience.

Awesome job Pete
I lost 115# and a house in court one time. My attorney said I did well

I got rid of all my fat clothes and replaced them as I went along. The trick to reduce cost is to shop wisely, and include second-hand items.

Yeah, I've gotten some really good clothes at the Salvation Army, and they cost nearly nothing.

I can't help but think that's horrible advice. I went from a size 60 waist to a 46. I'd hate to imagine trying to keep those old pants up now. Part of losing weight is losing a negative self-image, and looking good is part of it.
I got rid of all my fat clothes and replaced them as I went along. The trick to reduce cost is to shop wisely, and include second-hand items.

But like you said shopping second hand would be better. It would have been great for me being that my waist sized shrunk every few weeks.
I have a buddy that goes shopping for clothes at ross/marshals quite a bit. When he finds something he likes and the size is to big he'll take it in to tailor to get it altered and it only cost him a couple of bucks. Its a great idea and if i would have met him earlier i probably would have just have my clothes altered and save a bunch of money.
Is there a thread in this forum that discusses how to deal with the weight flying off and dealing with clothes that have become oversized?

Raw food.

Its tough to start off but after a few days it gets easier and the weight flys off.
