Wow there's a lot to talk about.
There's two family trips to detail, a newly clapping baby (circa last Monday), a new VP pick, some movies and a book to review, the return to school, the local Harley Davidson rally, and the sad conclusion to the sale of the house I grew up in.
Let's start small, with some positive news.
A few days ago I stepped on the scale and for the first time in many a moon crossed the 350# mark - and going in the right direction, for all the wise-a**es out there.
Yup, 348 pounds. Roughly the scale weight of Guam, if I recall correctly, but a lot better than the ~360 I weighed a month or so ago and a whole heck of a lot better than the '450+' that a doc wrote on my employee physical back in '93.
I'm still taking a lot of stairs at work, eating right, popping fish oil and a multivitamin each morning, and riding the bike. I've also spent the last few days moving my folks, so I ache from head to toe but I'm sure it was good for the ticker.
350 was a big hurdle for me. Now if I can cross the 300 mark by my birthday [in March] I'll be happy.

You go!!!!! Congrats to you. I am also trying to lose a few and I don't remember it being this hard when I was younger...lol. I need to get some weight off my knee replacements and my back. I've lost 14 so far. Hard huh? Good luck to both of us.
