so just for the record since some friends have asked - i actually lost most of my weight last summer and this spring... i had a bad back injury last year and couldn't do anything but walk a little over the fall and winter... so i stayed around 280-290 for 6 months and started losing again around march/april of this year... still having some residual back issues but much healthier now and thanks to my BMF and logging my calories i was able to keep from really gaining during the middle of that time... still pressing on to reach my ideal weight hopefully in the next few months

I'm totally with you on how much back injuries suck -- but they really do put everything in perspective.  I might get frustrated that i can't run races with friends, but every day I get to walk, or stand up straight is a good day.
