I'm about to be at the inlaws for a couple of weeks though, we'll see what kind of damage that does to my progress...
inlaws cooking (especially my wife's grandmother) is irresistable!

Grape Aquafina and Grape Powerade Zero are my favorites.
I'm never without a 32 ounce cup around me, and I always feel like I'm in a desert.
Fair food!

Been at this diet thing ... one reasonable meal a day and NO munchies (the real cause of my problem) ... for about 7 months now. Got on the scale this morning and was down to 158 ... yessssss ... that's 71 pounds. Kind of like I've lost a 4 year old.

I'm into 34" waist pants, and this morning I was able to get into some clothes that I haven't been able to wear for years.

My goal is 155 pounds and I'm just now starting to believe that I may really get there.
Awesome job! 71lbs is more like an 8yr old, and that is quite the accomplishment. Keep up the good work on the last 3lbs.

After 71 pounds I wouldn't sweat another 3, but if it keeps you motivated to stay in shape and watch what you eat, more power to you.

I have my weigh in tomorrow. I've been hovering around 230 all week, but I was a little off the wagon today. Maybe I'll do some crunches before I go out for that beer.
Good luck on the weigh-in.
