YESSSSSSS! (shamelessly cross-posted)

[Guest guest]

Today was the day! FINALLY broke through 300#. Weighed in at 299#.

BMI is 39.4, so I am no longer morbidly obese, either, just plain

obese!

This has been like guerilla warfare for me--fighting for every pound.

I can't just go off and eat a Krispy kreme like Mike Hensel (aka Mr.

Judie) and shed a pound the next morning. I have to exercise every

other day and stay away from even sensible sugary things like fruit

juice, etc. 85 pounds more to go; lots'a struggles ahead. But,

today is a day to just kick back and feel good--maybe go for a big

order of fried onion rings, too (better than Krispy Kremes).

Thanks for indulging me by reading this far.
