Got in a lot of walking this week, ate good and dropped 2 pounds!  Even had a little treat here and there through the week, so I just have to keep it up!!!  YEAH!

Another 2 pounds this week.  I am just glad to see the scale start moving.  I am now on high dose antibiotics and steroids for my chronic sinus infection.  Been 2 days and I can feel the difference.  Hope it knocks it out for good.  The steroids do have side effects...endless energy!  Got about 4 hours sleep last night, and was on the go all day. 

Bad car wreck here yesterday, semi & car head on...semi driver unhurt, other driver in critical condition.  It was the car driver fault.  Happened at 11:45 am, he had already had a few drinks, open beer in the car and talking on cell phone.  When will people learn!  And he is an insurance adjuster...he was on the job.  Had just been out doing an adjustment!  Wonder if he still has a job!!!

WoW - good for you Quitter. Usually people on steriods gain weight so it is possible that you may have taken off more than you think. Wouldn't that be nice! 

I've finally plateaued on my weight loss. I lost a total of 49 pounds in the past year, 30 of which occurred in the first 5 months of my quit. Now it seems that I've leveled. So I'm really happy it's spring and the weather will change soon. That means the pool will open - yay!

Wow, pretty quiet here!  Have been looking and waiting for new comments.  Well I am down 5 pounds!  Doing a lot of walking, twice a day.  Usuallly get about 7-8 miles.  Eating smarter, and it seems to be working.  Hope everyone is doing ok!
