Kudos, Michael!  Isn't it great?!  I am about a month ahead
of you and have lost a total of 35 pounds so far.  Haven't
been this size/weight since junior high about a million
years ago :)  And I feel so much better!!  I haven't started
any particular exercise program as my "job" isn't sedentary
- I am a groomer, often wrestling dogs who I swear these
days outweigh me <VBG>.  I am so glad to be able to cope
with my physical day and not have to crawl into the house
and collapse when I get done.  For the first time in a long
long time I am able to look forward to what the future may
bring with pleasant expectation.
