I lost 150 lbs so far and let me tell you,, I feel better,,,, the secret to losing weight is 2 things,,,, you have to WANT IT and secondly,, do it slowly and resonably,,, Eat healthy,, dont starve yourself and read labels on food,,, its easy onece youre in the right mode to do it.... oh,,, and thirdly,, never say the word DIET,,, thats bad bad bad word in my books!!!

Its taken me 2 yrs to lose my weight,,, and its stayed off for another 1 1/2 yrs......
Best of luck to you whn you decide to go for it!
