I know where you are comming from,
When I was 14 my weight was 355lbs, and in 11months I reduced it to 194.

I was depressed once, but I look at myself and realized what I did was great, as a challenged and accomplishement and it kicked me in the ass for more.

Man just look at your pic, if that is not an accomplishment that can motivate a man,
maybe you hit a plateau, just review your training.

Ya be fine,

keep up the work you have a big foundation now, lower your bodyfat and build later on it

Great progress, I can see one true fact, YOU WORKED HARD...keep up the good work (you actually look better then a lot of these "bodybuilders" I know that are on their bulking cycle)

The meal you asked about:
low fat lite youplait strawberry yougurt about 8 oz turckey breast and salad with low fat no sugar added dressing

I would recommend replacing the yougurt with some LOW GI carb like: brown-rice, yam, sweet potato, (beans if you like them) or some oatmeal. This will surely aid your goals.

BBD - Excellent progress!

You've done some amazing work! Definitely be very proud! I've got a family member who is 6', well over 350 lb, has had high blood pressure since his teens (his mid 30's now), very low self-esteem and we always worry that he won't live to see 40. I wish I could show him what you've done in 6 months! Truly inspirational.

Keep kicking butt!
