Hi Chris...You journal is inspiring. I think I will start one here at home.
Did you say you are in you 130s? How long did it take you to get there?

A hundred twenty nine years and one day, of course! (Sorry, I really should
have bitten my tounge.)

Thanks, Kathleen :-). It took me just under two years (23 months, to
be more precise) to lose 130 lbs. -- from 262 to 132. This is an
average of about 5 1/2 lbs per month, which is pretty much the rate of
loss recommended by most professionals, I think. I've maintained the
loss for a little over 3 years so far.
