Alrighty, long time since the last update, blogging kind of outlived its usefulness for me once I got good at monitoring my food intake and being able to find good choices. Last few months have gone relatively well, but after September the weight loss really slowed down, much as I expected. Nevertheless there has been progress made and today I passed the halfway point, weighing in at 234.5, we'll round up to 235.
Actually, I probably was down farther last week, I had surgery a couple weeks ago and really lost some weight while recovering if my waistband was any guide, which is a good sign that my metabolism has really responded to training. I went to a birthday party Saturday and enjoyed myself, and had a fantastic day at Disneyland on Sunday. Both involved more than my usual food, both were fine special occasions. Considering I lost 5 pounds from yesterday morning to this, it's a good guess that I was down further.
For the future I will continue to maintain this lifestyle, and hope to become slightly more relaxed about dinner with a friend, while still skipping the everyday snacking that really became a runaway problem.
Bizarre to think I used to carry an extra person of my current weight around.

Nate, way to go!!!
I have lost 50 pounds in 2 1/2 years and have also been doing weight training - you know "eat more often during the day to keep up your metabolism AND weight train to build muscle mass to keep your metabolism up AND don't forget to drink your water" Does all of that sound familiar?
Anyway, I am VERY proud of you for choosing to transform yourself!!!!! I have about 40 more pounds to go, but I am more concerned about percentage of body fat. You have a great internal resolve and I admire that. Did you give up dairy too? I did and all of my bad skin problems and constipation went away.
I came across you because I had done a google search for the Trader Joe's Gooseberry fruit bars. I was at TJ's today and they have discontinued those, what a bummer!
Well, now I am going to read more of your blog about your weight loss.
Sincerely, Katherine Finch, Indianapolis
