milestone! in the 180's

[mckitterick]

Huh, here's what a weekend of dancing and stuff can do for you after months of exercising and trying to eat right (stroppy_baggage, prncsmoonbeam, and weaselmom, you won't believe it but I've given up chocolate): I checked my weight this morning and it's now officially about 20 lbs. lighter than my heaviest from last winter: 186. Wow. I didn't realize I had that much to lose - especially because I feel I have another 10 lbs. or so to go, dammit - but it sure feels good to be getting fit. Special thanks to chernobylred and worldforger for encouraging the effort and leading by example!

Congratulations on losing 20 lbs. It's hard giving up sweets. I know I lost 10 lbs last summer (03) just giving up pop. I lost another 70 on Atkins. Still haven't managed to get into an exercise routine, but I'm trying to be more active. I could probably stand to lose a little more myself, but I've just been coasting the last few months.

Anyway, keep up the good work and good luck ...

Thanks! Wow, I'm thoroughly impressed by your progress - I can hardly feel smug after hearing that. I'm not an exercise fiend, but I do try to do at least one set of exercises every day.

You too!
