I've hit over 300lbs three times in my life, dropping to ~280, ~250 and now as of today, 241lbs. After this last go-round I've said never again. So I lost from 317 to ~245 from November 2014 to Summer 2015 on a weight loss program. From my previous loss, I knew it was mostly diet related. For the first time in over 25 years I was able to put on a pair of size 36 trousers! The goal my doctor and I had was getting me to my 230s and seeing how I feel. I've been maintaining in the 240s for a while with frustrations and I decided to leave the regular weigh-ins while still remaining on th e program - doing it myself. I knew I needed a scale, and that more than likely, exercise was the only way I'm going to get down to the 230s. Picked up my FitBit (Charge HR) and Aria scale over a week and a half ago and I've gone from 248 down to my new low of 241 today. Much of it is being careful of my diet and I think exercise is contributing, but having a scale to use in between weigh-ins and being able to confirm some of the things I noticed about my body while losing has helped to increase my confidence. For once that 230-ish number seems well within reach.
