InfiniteWill, pishaw. Last time I saw you in Dallas, you were like 190-200. Ain't no way you've been 249 since then! Sue your scale manufacturer for a tidy sum!

NoChops,

"What I hope to do is to NOT eat food (desserts) just because it's at work, TAKE my own lunch to work, and GO to the YMCA several times a week or at least (like last night) go for a 45 (+) minute walk with my wife in the neighborhood. If I'm consistent with those things, I'm sure I'll accomplish my goal."

Two words: Don't bite off more than you can chew.

Yeah, reduce the dessert intake at work. Yeah, take your lunch (it'll also save you muchos buckos). But my god man, why on Earth would you ever want to go to a gym!?
