I would join in. But I've just done this (obv brag). I went from 255 to 200 so far this year. I posted about it (w/ pics) in the H&F forum:
H&F thread. I also made a thread awhile ago in OOT when I was at 225, but the picture links from it are now broken:

I had a similar moment around Christmas of 2006. I was just tired of it. And I finally just turned things around and became more health conscious. I'm going to lose around 20 more, but things are a little slower going for me these days. While I dropped 25 lbs in the first 35 days, I expect the next 20 to take, probably, 4 more months. That's okay though, no rush.
Good luck to all of you, I hope this goes down. It's WELLLLL worth it when you drop a significant amount of weight. I feel 1000000x better than I used to.
