    Started at 270 even...
    Now lost 4 lbs down to 266. I have an old scale but I figure if I just use it all the time the results will be the same. Maybe if I'm lucky,it will be off a few lbs too...lol
    I have been walking 2 miles a day and cut back on soda as well as sweets. I don't eat after 6 pm too. The only bad times I have is when plowing snow in the middle of the night. Need the Dew and coffee to keep awake. Also,I cut cigars out(more Buick money)

    Well not much to report as far as lbs go yet, but I've changed my eating style and I'm running some extra electical in the basement so I can fire up the treadmill.

    that is a 2lb loss. I am going to have to pick up the pace to make my goal. I have been traveling a lot as of late which I think makes it hard to stay on a good eating program. I will continue to work on it. No Mountain Dew for 2 weeks. At least that is a good start.

    Start weight: 250
    Current weight: 246
    Not great progress, but it beats still going up on the scale.
    I've been improving the diet (replacing pretzels with carrot- and celery-sticks), but still need to make time for exercise.

    On Saturday I had lost a solid 4 lbs. Then went out to dinner AND dessert AND drinking. Yesterday morning, it was 2.5 - 3 lbs. Still not bad as I haven't made major changes. Started at X, now at X - 2.5.

    TIP: If you sit at a computer for long periods, use MS Outlook or another calender program to set up reminders to do things. I have mine pop up at 9 every morning to remind me to do stomach crunches (seated, isometrics). I'll do 10 or so, then "snooze" the reminder to pop up again in an hour. After a whole day, I've done 60 or 70 crunches sitting at the desk. It makes a big difference, but takes a while. Not like doing 100 on the floor every day, but it's not a big effort either. I am also using it to remind myself to do some arm exercises while sitting here, too.

    Working hard? I'm so sore I can't hardly move. This better be worth it. AND, to make matters worse, I found out that my bathroom scales are 20 lbs light!! So, my initial weight should be 390, not 370. :af: On the bright side, I have lost 6 lbs. 384lbs today at the gym. A LONG WAY TO GO. :ball:

    You guys and gals are doing a great job! Keep up the good work. I peaked at 210 in the fall of 2004. I knocked it down to 189 by the summer of 2005. We had a four month run of nonstop OT at work, so I'd come home exhausted, eat a huge dinner, then fall asleep. (bad bad bad) So I went back to 195 by October. After seeing this post, I decided to get serious again. I was at the doctor a few days ago. 183!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I stand 5'10 1/2", so I'm thinking I'm near target weight. I haven't weighed this little in fourteen years!
