Under 400--yippee!

I really try to avoid eating out, but sometimes you have to and at least try to make a healthier choice. In retrospect, I should have boxed up half the giant plate of food immediatly as I know I have a tendency to clean my plate, hungry or not.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!
Major props - keep up the great work. If I could do what you're doing at 1/2 the pace I'd be blowing by my goal in no-time!
Hang in there man, as long as the needle points to a figure = or < your previous weigh in, then you're doing fine.
So what are you doing in terms of workouts? Cardio only? Lifting? both? at the same time?
Keeep it up!

Now that I can walk more than a few steps w/o gasping for breath and can go up and down stairs I AM being much more active. I know I'll have to start really exercising at some point. At my weight I still have to be careful of my ankles, knees and back, all of which bother me (though not so much, as of late).
Of course I have a nice weight bench and weights as well as a treadmill and other equipment gathering dust.

A good week, back pain notwithstanding.
347.0 this morning, so another 3.5 lbs down and first mini-goal met.
So the question is, can I lose 47 lbs. by January 1? Without some form of exercise, it's questionable at my current rate as I know my body will burn less and less as the weight peels off. If I can get my back to cooperate I'll try to incorporate at least a modest walking routine.
Stay healthy!

Great job on the weight loss, keep it up
I know what you mean about the being happy with being under 400 thing though. I had the same experience recently at 300 pounds. Seeing that 2 on the beginning of the scale was great, and I told myself it would never start with a 3 again
I am still dropping pounds pretty quickly even under 300lbs (about 3 a week), and I've barely been doing any exercise. Everyone is different of course so your mileage my vary. 47 may be a tad optimistic, but certainly not undo-able. Remember your body will still thank you even if you come up a few pounds short.

I realize I'm in the "Men's Only" section (and I am not qualified to post here :P), but I wanted to send you all my encouragement and congrats - what you're doing is so great. It's so cool to see your results. Thanks for the inspiration.

Travbrad--thanks for the encouragement, and congrats on leaving the "3s" behind (can't wait until I can do the same!) And no, I won't be heartbroken if I don't quite do to it by 01/01/11 (but I really think I can).
Changeisgood29--thank you, also--I'll take compliments from anyone, male or female, and please do feel free to visit from time to time--we are all fighting for a common goal here.
On to the Saturday morning weigh-in:
A nice 4.0 lb. loss this week!
So, 347.0 - 4.0 = 343 lbs. today
43 left to go for 01/01/11
I am making a conscience effort to "move more" and now that I can walk more than a hundred feet or so w/o stopping to gasp for breath (I'll admit that was getting scary) I'm doing it more and more.
