Hope all are well. Nice seeing most of you yesterday. Smoking a turkey breast this afternoon...in the rain it looks like. Please remember this contest is based on % of weight lost, not total weight. Like I said before, I hope we all tie for 1st. Even at 5 pounds loss a month, that's 60 pounds by 2012. I still don't feel much different, but when I lift 50 pounds, I realize what I was carrying around. How harder my heart, lungs, and joints were working. With 6 inches of loss around my waist, I am not afraid to go to a game, or concert now. Those seats are not made for a person with a 54" waist. 46"/48" seems to fit much nicer! Not afraid of PVC chairs either! Still have a ways to go though. Again, keep the faith, and good luck to all.
