Brassman: Me to with the Cigarettes. It was really hard that first week, not having anything to do when the ideas werent coming, or I was getting stressed about time constraints. I never realized how much money I spent on them until they were gone, either. I have been trying to keep under 2200 calories a day, as I don't do a bunch of physical exercise. I took that from an online calculator that factors in various things. For me, the fat is going from my face, which has made me look even more fat in the gut area.

You are looking great in the avatar pic... are you at your goal weight yet? Looking at the pics of Cincy and Mongo, I have to applaud them. That is some amazing strength to do that. Trying to lose 25-30 is so hard for me... I cannot imagine having the willpower to lose that much. I commend you guys.
