Here, take an upvote, this is truly inspiring.

As someone who was always the fat kid in school/life, I can feel your burden. Good to see that it all worked out for you. I can't claim I was ever that overweight (I mean no offense by that statement), but I'm definitely not where I want to be.

Any advice on someone who is just a little outside of their comfort zone (60-100lbs to lose, I currently weigh about 300lbs) and how to do so on a tight budget? I work full time overnights supporting my fiance and myself.

Thanks for the advice, it definitely makes a lot of sense.

In regards to the exercise/working out, do you find that you really have to dedicate massive amounts of time per week for it to make a noticeable difference? Or is it as true as they say in those commercials for exercise machines/diets, where 30 mins a day can make the world of a difference?

EDIT: Also, given my height/weight (~300lbs, ~6ft tall), I wonder how I would look in dropping a certain amount of weight. I am in no way trying to get myself to be "twig" skinny. I'm trying to aim for a body that compliments my build, any idea where an ideal weight for me would be? I would be completely happy with my weight if I looked "fit" at this weight, if that makes sense.
