With this drop, I reached a milestone at over 50 pounds lost. It's amazing how much better I feel now. I can:
Tie my shoelaces without struggling,
climb steps like I used to do,
take long walks and hikes,
ride my bike as long as I want,
play nearly endless pickleball,
feel my derrière again,
see my toes,
and fit back into my clothes.
In addition, friends and acquantances are calling me "Slim". They think they're the first ones to do so (...I humor them).
I'm much faster on the pickleball court. They now call me "The Blur".
Mrs. Girth refers to me as her "Arm Candy".
Like you, I still have more to do. Stay focused on your goals and remember that this difficult struggle is rewarded in many ways as the weight comes off.

Curious about how long its taken you to achieve your results so far. I am new to FS and starting off at 265 lbs with interim goal of achieving 240 by the end of June. Hitting the gym 5x per week and averaging below my target daily calorie consumption

sruhl6388, I did it in about 4 months. Your starting weight is about the same as mine. I would think that 240 lbs. by end of June is a very reasonable goal. You'll hear the acronym CICO used a lot. It stands for "calories in, calories out". It's basically, the approach that I used--burn more than you consume.
Best of luck to you. You'll find excellent support and advice here.
