I was 360lbs a year or so ago. Then got down to 350 and stuck there. If I ate too much, or too little, I still hovered around 360 without really trying to think about my weight.
Then came the crisis in late October this past year when I ended up in a coma on a ventilator in ICU for 3 days. When I came out of it, the ICU doctor told me it was touch and - not because of the coma - but because of my size, they had a really tough time getting the breathing tube down my chubby throat. She said that I needed to lose 100lbs at least to reduce those risks again.
So, since getting out of hospital in early November, I've been working hard on diet - trying to eat less wheat and sugars. No much activity yet, but the my eating over Christmas/New Years has been pretty good.
So a year ago I was 360. In hospital I was hovering around 350. Today I'm at 311. It's a long ways to go, but it's encouraging to see the success so far...
