Wow, you did good and I am sure you had to work hard to get where you are.  You should be proud and a little boasting is in order here.

Congratulations.

Honey, bragging???  I'd be dancing (and if you saw that, it isn't a pretty sight).  Congratulations!!!!

@QVCkitty1 :  I would love to hear about your plan for your incredible weight loss.  I have stalled.

@Hoovermom , I’m no nutrition expert, ?I just know what works for me. I started making my own soups, so I could control the sodium , same with salad dressing. It hurt my heart, but I eliminated most of my lean cuisines, (handy but full of salt). I already ate lots of chicken, but I added ground chicken and turkey for chili and pasta sauce. Brown rice and whole wheat pasta replaced white. I don’t eat cereal or bread, breakfast is usually a banana or other potassium rich food. It’s a process, and I’m not a machine, apsis I will have the occasional popcorn, or yes a small serving of Cheetos. 😱 However, most of the time my snack is fresh fruit salad. I was a Diet Coke addict, and now I might have 1 every 2 weeks, if that. Unsalted mixed nuts, ( just a few ) and LaCroix sparkling water is a good drink, the coconut is really good. Even if you don’t have BP issues like me cutting back on salt is a healthier choice. That’s all I’ve got.

I'm envious, OP.  I just can't seem to get my head where it has to be for me to drop some weight (and I've joined WW and still can't seem to get in the right frame of mind.)  I've lost a little bit but nowhere near your 45 lbs!

@Tyak , Please don’t beat yourself up, I had to be scared into  losing. It has been a lifelong struggle for me, I had to face what my poor choices were doing to my body. Since I retired I was in a state of denial about how much I had gained. I wish you the best of luck !😻
