Congrats.  Junk food does contain a lot of empty calories.  Best wishes to you.

Sugary sweets is my problem too.  It's not only bad for weight maintenance but also teeth, blood sugar, and skin.  Way to go for deciding to kick it

Congratulations to you also!!! : ) You guys rock, willpower is awesome and inspiring.

Wow! That weight loss is wonderful, metsrock69! My weight loss story is very similar to yours. I weighed about 316 a couple of years ago, but then I started eating more sensibly (with occasional cheat days) and stopped drinking sodas (even though I was drinking diet sodas).  I had read that diet sodas kind of set you up for cravings, so I just started drinking water almost all of the time. Without really thinking about it much, I ended up getting down to 270, much to my surprise!  I guess I just kind of changed my eating habits and kind of didn't think about food as much as I used to. Anyway, congratulations again on your wonderful weight loss!
