Comments on: Week 49: Weigh-in Results http://www.344pounds.com/2009/12/week-49-weigh-in-results/ I lost nearly 150 pounds by counting calories. I once weighed 344.2 pounds, now around 200. My story has been told on CNN, CBS, and Newsweek and will soon be in a book.

Also, glad you didn't allow the gain to become an overblown setback towards your goal. Loved that you allowed yourself to enjoy the holidays instead of being a slave to the weight.

The holidays are harsh.

Maybe it was because I was sick? I didn't think fighting off a cold and bronchitis could cause me to burn enough calories to make up for the extra eating I've done, especially with being unable to work out because of the sickness/everything being closed for the holidays. So now I'm down to 200 lbs after being 305 lbs in June. I'm not even considered obese for my BMI. Without this blog, I don't know if I would have ever lost 105 lbs. It has really been inspiring. Don't let this gain get you down. Finals week, I gained weight like crazy. I lost it all in a couple of weeks and got over it.

So I get to say that I went from 232 in May to 177 in December. I'm glad that you're still rolling, Tyler, I'm glad for this blog, and hey, hardcore is coming. I'm in. I lost 2 pounds this week.

I had to get on the scale a couple times just to make sure, but I was really proud. In spite of the fact that I know I ate more than I would in a normal week, I still managed to stay on plan. It helped that we've told everyone around us about what we're doing, so they don't think it's strange when I refuse something. We've also been bringing a lot of our own food contributions to various events, and eating those! Our grocery bill has gone way up, but hopefully our future health care costs will go way down. Keep up the good work - your blog is an inspiration to us! Amazingly, I actually lost 1.6 pounds over the Christmas week.
