Helen, congratulations on some great numbers. I need to get into see the doctor as well for a physical and have all my blood work done and that other thing they do to guys my age!

Kathy, I know what you mean about the jewelry. My ring actually moves on my finger now instead of being permanently affixed. Also my watch slides all the way around my wrist. I am going to have to have both resized shortly.

Speaking of which I am taking my (used to be tight) pants in this week to have them taken in. I am having difficulty keeping my pants up and I don't think dropping my drawers in front of my buyers is a good selling technique! :eek:

Thanks Wendy! It is definately work. The hardest part is always the getting started. You will get there when it is time. BTW, what has the weather been like up there?

Today was weigh in and I am down another 3 lbs this week and extremely pumped up. So now the total over the past 8 months is 76 lbs (about 8" in my waist) and since New Years Day I have lost 48 lbs (about 5" in my waist).

This week I adjust my diet some more and add in five more carbs (so I will now be up to 30 net carbs) and I also start adding in some additional dairy products. This morning I added 1/2 cup of cottage cheese with some strawberry slices to my usual breakfast. Tomorrow morning I am planning on having some low carb yogurt, to which I will add some rasberries.
