Well I wasn't gonna say nothing but...

Great job, Chris....I think it's always a good idea to be accountable!  (and it's so much more fun when it's a loss) As far as the 1.5 business....have a son your age so used to that kind of discussion...LOL Sherrie

1.5 pounder....haha  You sound like my husband, sounds like something he would've said. geesh :) 

Congrats on your weight loss.  I know what ya mean about not wanting to say anything.  I'm getting to that point myself.  But it is an ego booster when ya lose!  Look at all of us applauding and cheering.  Keep it up!!

Thanks everyone!  Still got weird emotional stuff going on.  Not sure why in the world I don't feel excited about my loss?  Perhaps it's because I was at 283 when I quit.  Maybe I'll feel better when I get to 270.

Congrats, Chris! I feel the same way...not worthy.  I've lost 20 lbs. so far, but it's taken me since July to do it.  I don't feel like it's such a big deal (YET).  Now, if I continue to lose and lose about 35 lbs. or so, then I'll feel like shouting it out on the rooftop. I'm just cutting back on sweets and trying to eat healthier, plus exercising...trying at least 3 or 4 times a week, so it takes awhile.  BUT...I didn't gain any weight during the holidays and I ate pretty much what I wanted and slacked on the exercise, so that's a plus. P.S.  If you do a  "morning routine" every day....hummmmm--that's 10.5 lbs. a week!  Wow!  Wish I could do that!  You da man! Bren

Yeah but I shove in 50 lbs of food and only 10.5 comes out! Something's wrong with the equation here!

wOOt! Hey, claim, it, baby!

LOL! Congrats!
