118lbs today. Doing fine with just trying to eat well, cut down on drinking and get a bit of exercise through the week.
I'm quite pleased with how things are going. =)

What's bred in the bone will not out of the flesh.
202.5 today. My goal is sub-200 by my birthday on the 14th so that I can eat cake, candy, and drink beer and shoot right back up to 210...

Well i started at a number i don't even want to mention last august and managed to lose 70lbs putting me at 235. But i lost my job and moved back home and gained back 40 =P So i think i'm going to switch from vegetarian to vegan (again) and see how that goes...it did the trick the first time...and i felt a lot healthier. Will post on how it goes.

Bah. Mrs. Totem and I went to Santa Cruz yesterday to laff at all the stoners and enjoy the beach, but got the munchies secondhand via volumnous cloud of doobie smoke drifting down the shoreline. We succumbed to In-n-Out with a double-double and fries, a Fat Tire Ale, and Marcela's Ice Cream, located conveniently on Ocean Blvd, just as you enter or leave town.
/sigh
Must. Do. Cardio.

Seriously? An In-n-Out franchise out in the Midwest somewhere would be the ultimate hedge against a bad economy. I'd be a rich man if I were a member of that family*.

* I heard somewhere you can't own a franchise unless you are related to the original owners. Once you buy in, they look at the map and select a location for you that does not draw potential customers from other family members, but keeps you in the area so that quality control can still be met. Supposedly they have a clause in the ownership contract that they can revoke your franchise if it doesn't meet the standards that everybody has come to expect from In-n-Out. You'll notice all the kids are clean cut, no tats, the bathrooms are clean regardless the volume of business, speed of service is excellent, the orders are almost always correct, and the consistancy of the food is beyond reproach. In-n-Out is the anti-McDonalds. RACK them.

It is official. I am now under 200 pounds, presently weighing at 199.6, or 91.5 kg. I am giving my wife a Christmas present of a lighter, more svelte husband. Hopefully I will be able to continue this downward trend and hit 195 before I go home in January, but we'll see. Right now I'm just enjoying the new sensation of seeing a one in front of two other numbers instead of a two.
Yay for me! Whao says you can't lose weight over the holidays? It's called the Angolan Diet! I should market this to Hollywood-- I'd be a millionaire overnight.
:D

I hit 195 recently, down from 240 at the beginning of the year, and down from a gigantic 300 when I first started trying to lose weight. I'm almost at my goal of 180.

Congrats! I've finally gotten up to 140 myself.

Didn't you eat two steaks a bit ago?

I put on weight over Christmas 
That website is REALLY cool. Definitely just joined up!
I put on a few pounds over the holidays and during exams but Ive been running a lot, so as soon as I get back to school and back into my regular eating patters, the weight should just melt back off

Yes, I did eat a couple of steaks at one time a few days ago, but I have been expending so much energy that the weight has been coming off regardless. I also have been scarfing down potatos at nearly every meal, freshly baked bread-- although I try to limit that since it has no nutritional value to speak of (but boy-howdy, it sure is tasty!), and drinking beer every evening too. I recently decided to return to my normal breakfast habit or a power bar and a banana and the caloric burn began to overtake the caloric intake.
I'm gonna try to do a 10k this afternoon. My running speed has returned and I can sense I am about to reach that point where endomorphins kick in almost immediately upon jogging. It has been more than 15 years since I got to that point. I *always* loved that sensation of euphoria that flowed down my spine when those morphins would hit my system. That truly was the one thing I've missed from long distance running-- something I haven't done in a long long time.
Hopefully I will get permanent internet access today or tomorrow. Right now I have to beg someone to let me on their account when they are finished, so my presence is spotty at best.
All my best, Asylumites for the New Year. I'll talk to you guys later.
