16. Anything Else You'd Like To Share? Eat to live, don't live to eat!  This is actually my second time doing this, the first time I was about 21 and lost about 180 lbs over the course of a year, I maintained that weight for close to 2 years.  After that, i'll be honest I fell off, for no other fact that I stopped caring.  Slowly but steadily I put a bunch of weight back on, so I'm ready to do It again and never go back.
