Congrats man. Whenever I hear stories like this though, I always wonder the same thing: How people let themselves get to that point...it astounds me tbh. -when they lose the weight they show it was possible (no medical condition or other issue making it impossible)...so why did they let it get that bad

I've had a friend for a good 20+ years now, known him since before I can remember and he has always been fat. Its not like he let himself go when we were in kindergarten.
Anyway, I hope this motivates other people to do the same. I came close to letting myself go down that path, but luckily I turned things around when I started University. I never became overweight, I was just eating unhealthily and gaining unnecessary weight. Back to normal now, although I could do with more muscle rather than just skin and bones :P.
Congrats!! You are an inspiration to many people. I am also in the weight loss mode and have lost 40 lbs so far, but my goal is 80 to get down to 190.
It's tough for me lately since I just found out I have Osteoarthritis in my knee and can't run or go to Judo practice for a while. I just have to watch what I eat which is very tough for me to do.
Moral of the thread: Its easier to lose weight then what people think. Its about goddamn time for America to shake off obesity. Ask me for help if you need tips to lose a few pounds.

Since graduating last summer, is it wrong that I'm so anxious to see who does?

there are a variety of factors, but ultimately you are correct...looking back, I was always a big kid, but husky big, not you know, fat big. I know why I got this big (depression, poor eating habits, environment, death, work, college,and poor self discipline to name just a handful), but the fact that I let it happen is what hurts the most.
