Default New to the forum, but well into my journey

Hello all,

I thought that I would post an introduction. I just stumbled across this forum today. Where have I been?! I tend to be a lurker around these types of places as am quiet, but have found much motivation throughout my journey in reading about others' stories and seeing others' progress pics. I started my weight loss journey 14 months ago at well over 400 lbs. I am currently 212 lbs. No secrets or miracles, but simply eating healthy foods in healthy portions as well as exercising daily. I would have never thought that all this was possible, and for awhile, it felt like I was climbing uphill, but I kept going and continued to see progress. It is so powerful to realize that we have control over something that I previously thought I could not change. My weight loss has slowed over the past couple of months, but am motivated to keep going strong. I look forward to reading about others' stories here, as well as checking out some of the progress pics.

WOW, your progress is incredible!! Did you exercise from the very beginning or wait until you had dropped some? What's your game plan as far as eating?
