Checking In

 Well at the 6 month mark I am down 110.  I break a ton of rules and follow just as many.  I dont really exercise.  I am active but Im not running or doing 5k's or anything like that.  I fish on the great lakes for 10-12 hrs straight not an easy task before in 3-4 ft waves,  I canoed for 8 hrs a day this summer for 11 days.  I work around the house and currently am carrying 19 credits in nursing school so I am busy.  Food wise still doing lots of yogurts Kashi go lean, cheeses, cottage cheese, and meats.  no potatoes or breads and the only pasta I have had was in a can of soup.  I do like a beer now and then but 1 and Im happy 2 and Im too drunk to drive.  Turkey taste great 3 bites Im good 4 bites Im puking cause it sticks.  No junk food whatsoever. No hunger cravings but lots of head cravings.  I have had a few weeks of stalling and days of yo yo weights but it always comes off. still on hb pills but diabetes is gone. In general no regrets.  I am in 38's instead of 50's and xl instead of 4xl.  I take my supplements, drink plenty of water and watch my proteins.  I eat around 1300-1500 a day in calories.  NO junk except beer after my weekly exams.  

Congrats on the 110 lb loss!

Exercise is not just in the gym or running 5Ks, but as you are very active in your daily life.  You sound like you've made the lifestyle changes that we all have to do to be successful long term.  Keep up the good work!

 Attaboy Davo, keep up the good work!

Fishing, Canoeing and such are all exercise, we just have to substitute the GYM if we cannot do those things on a regular basis!!  :)

Congrats!
