Any other big losers?

I've lost over 80 pounds since October and was just curious if any other bombers have had similar weight loss success stories.  I went from a 2XL shirt to a L and a 44-waist pants to a 36. I'm still looking to lose about 50 more pounds. 
  

I have to many witty T-shirts in my closet to lose weight.

There's something on your shirt.
 
Also, congrats, keep it up!

You're cute :3

Congrats on the weight loss!
 
About 3 years ago, I lost 50+ pounds in about 6 months, then I gained 20 pounds of muscle the next year.

I am one. In early 2007 I weighed 308lbs. After a long difficult path I made it to 195 in 2009 and maintained that weight for a year and a half. Then in mid 2010 I got a bit lazy (shit happens) and went up 10 pounds to 205. Am currently working my way back down and looking to reach 180.

Congratulations! That takes some dedication.

congrats, keep up the good work!

Awesome, man.  Keep that weight off.

You must be talking about the Polo logo. "

Congrats! 

As someone who has always played sports and have never had experience being a large weight, I think it is the coolest thing to see someone turn it around and do something great for themselves.  Congrats!

congrats on that man. i decided to work out because my friend is also hitting the gym. i am lifting 30 pound dumbbells. all i do is the dumbbells. i've noticed a lot more muscle gain. i"m a skinny person.

Dude, awesome bow tie.  I wish I had the looks/persona/ethnicity to pull off casual bow ties.

As someone who has been lazy as fuck my whole life, yet naturally skinny as a stick, I find people who manage to lose weight and keep it off impressive. I really doubt my ability to motivate myself to do the same should my metabolism ever slow.

Hey, congrats man. Way to go.

I lost 85 pounds since June of last year. Went from an XL to a medium. Now it's just a matter of gaining more muscle.

Congratulations on your weight loss. I've been trying to lose a little myself, but it hasn't been easy...

Can I...have a little bit of that weight? I'll be honest, I probably look borderline emaciated given my height, and I want to gain some weight.

i cant say i lost weight but i was a pretty fat kid when i was younger and when i became a teenager i became skinny

I'm in your boat, I have the matabolism of a God. The only thing that lets me down is a fat neck, and slimming that down is not easy.  I recently went to Europe though, and somehow lost about 10 kilos (May have been not eating for three days while ill). I've now tried to keep up an exercise regime, but since I fucked my leg, I haven't been running. Gonna look into a pool membership. "

Very good for you on the weight loss. 
 
I wouldn't mind losing weight, but I like food too much.

Looking good man. I've lost about 10 pounds, mainly because of my pesky heroin habit.

Congratz on loosing all the fat, duder! 

That is quite the transformation! Congrats, that is not easy. I have never weighed over 145 and I am currently 18, so I cant say I have done what you done. 

Good job duder.

Nope, still a whale.  
 
I started walking a few weeks ago, but I don't feel any different. I keep trying to change my eating habits to go along with it, but it's impossible to do when you have zero say in what groceries get bought in the house. So when it comes meal time and the only things in the house you like to eat are all bad for you there isn't much choice. Eat the bad food or go hungry. Time will tell I suppose.  
 
To be honest I don't think I have ever really tried to lose weight before, but for some reason I feel different this time. Like this time I'm going to be serious about it. Then of course I find myself in situations like I just did, where I will be walking out to the kitchen to get a glass of water only to discover half a plate of garlic fingers sitting on the counter that some else made and it all goes out the window. 
 
Le sigh... I wish life was an RPG so I could re-roll and try to increase my Willpower and Intelligence attributes. 
 
EDIT: Congrats on the weight loss.

Well done, looking great! Keep up the good work!

Holy shit man, good work!

Awesome job duder! If you had the motivation to do that you'll hit your target easy! 

I'm on my way. I've lost 40 pounds since December, and I want to lose another 40 for summer. Best part about it is no radical diet, just cut out sugary drinks, started walking to school, and lift weights while I watch tv.

Nope, I don't have a cat. HAHA!
 
But really, I've been gaining weight for the past 6 months or so since I haven't really had much time to exercise.  I should work on that.

As Chong Li said in Bloodsport:
 
"VER-RY GOOD"
 
I can't say I've been as successful as you've been, though. I've been at it for a year, and I haven't made much progress. Mostly because I just can't kick the junk food addiction. : p 
But, your success story gives me hope. I know I'll get to where you are one of these days. I just have to keep at it!

Thats an awesome transformation dude, good for you.

Thanks for all the love guys. I will proudly represent the Giantbomb nation in my quest to become a skinny dude! 
 
@crusader8463:  I was kinda in the same camp as you, except instead of having my choices of food being put on me by other people, it was more I was too broke to afford the healthy stuff, and anyone who's ever been a broke college kid can tell you, the worst stuff for you is also always the cheapest. But I got a job,   some money, and just decided enough was enough. It sounds like you're in the right time-frame. Only thing I can recommend is if you can't cut out the stuff that's bad for you completely, at least try to have less of it. And exercise really is a huge part of weight loss, so at least try to get into the habit.  Also, I never really felt different, it was only other people and my scale that let me know I was losing weight. And I mean, once you start going down in pants sizes, you can't really deny that it's happening anymore.  
 
@GlenTennis: congrats man. Cutting out regular soda was without a doubt the best decision I ever made. Even when I cheat, I know it's not that bad because I'm still under a 2000-calorie deficit and I'm still not drinking sugar-loaded sodas. Exercise is underrated when it comes to dieting. Changing your eating habits is (usually) just not enough.    

way to go duder, also bowties are cool

damn dude that's crazy, keep it up! i used to be obese back in my early middle school days and i lost most of it by 8th-9th grade. i now just go to the gym daily for mostly cardio and occasionally weight lifting for maintenance.
