It was a really good article, I'll try to transcribe some of it this weekend if I have time.

I lost about 1/2 pound since last week - not to shabby, considering my Toronto trip & Easter were within days of eachother.

Nicely done. That timeframe makes sense. It took me so long to get used to the weight training and stop hating it. I'm at 147 which is down a pound for a total of -15 from when I started over a year ago. This is within the healthy weight range for me and I feel great about that. I just had my driver's license pic redone too and I look YOUNGER now than I did in the pic like 7 years ago or whenever. I love being a gym rat!

Now all that said, I just had a Big Mac for dinner. Yep. So markolas, it's not all or nothing, it's just baby steps until you make it.
