**2014 UPDATE: Many people have asked me in private messages or in comments on this thread about various tips as to how I did it. I've done my best to respond, but I think my comments have gotten lost in all the INCREDIBLE comments. For this reason, I am starting a blog and Facebook page to provide daily motivation and tips. Its in a very rudimentary stage right now, but once I know I have an audience I will be putting much more effort into it. 3FC was huge for me in getting to my goal and I'd love to pay it forward! Check out my blog at http://fromonereddresstoanother.wordpress.com and you can access my Facebook page from there. As I'm more familiar with Facebook, it will likely be the medium I establish most. Best regards everyone!***

In the first two pics I was at about 198, now I am around 130

I am absolutely jealous... amazed... and HOPEFUL!
