I'm sorta in the same boat haven't quite yet ordered my armor. Narrowing down what I want to get and still getting access to local 501st members to seek help and advice. I promised myself that I needed to get healthy before I order armor. Went from 6 foot 234lbs and i'm now down to 195.4 lbs as of today. Thats 38.6 lbs (since Jan 8th) which I know is crazy amount. I'm on the HCG diet which are drops you take 3 times a day and you eat a very (very) limited diet while on the plan.
Now just hit my goal of 185lbs or lower and I'll order my armor as my birthday present to myself on 03/16
