Yep, I have been using the home gym. Although it would take a lot to turn it into a $5000 clothes hanger since it is an under $200 Walmart model, LOL, that I have in the cold garage.
As far as the menu goes, I think I am doing well, I am eating pretty heathy and getting enough food. I am currently reading and learning more about nutrition.
thanks

Howdy Toots! Just wanted to come by and check in on you, have a super fantastic day!!!
Who can't appreciate the 'check in' ??? I know I love the 'check in' Thanks for being you Peq
It's happening sooner than you think. As far as can I ??, yep, I can. You know what my biggest fear is tho.... This will be the ultimate test of weight gain/loss. I just dunno which way the wind will blow on this. All I have is my past track record to fall back on, not a good place to compose data from.
Thank you beckster, you're just so sweet

T, If you have the strength and will power (or hard headedness in your case, LOL
) to lose as much weight as you have, then you have enough to kick the cigs too. I chewed snuff for 20 years and finally quit a year and a half ago. It won't be easy or pleasant but can do it and once you do you will not regret it.

Hello T2,
Hope your day is going well.Smoking is so bad
these days way worse then back in the days I quit because I
got preggers with my 1st lil one and was pretty easy but the food
thing now that's hard!I am going rounds with my hubby over the
smoking thing I thought making him smoke out in the cold not in
our house would help and reminding him he has 4 beautiful kids.
Last year he did the patches and quit for like 6-7 months and then
I caught him again smaoking!The bad thing with him he has had asthma
since he was 2 and 1 time he asked me to pick up a pk of ciggs and
a inhaler at the same time the cashier just looked at me
like I was nuttz! I hope you find the willpower when your ready to quit!
Have a wonderful day your an awesome person! Tammy

Extortion.
I went to reformat my pc last weekend. I start out setting the restore disk into the tray and my pc keeps reverting back to the previous date restore mode and not back to the complete restore.
I'm puzzled, I've restored every pc I ever owned with never a problem. Like most human beings, I keep trying and hoping for some voodoo magic to take over and the pc will do what I wish it would do.
After several tries, I decide to call HP support. After pushing 167 phone keys, I finally get a human being prepared to read me his standard pre-written mumbo jumbo. We go through the information process and ready to get to the 'meat and potatoes' of my call.
I explain my situation and he understands it. I beam, help is on it's way. I prepare to follow instructions when he informs me my pc is 34 days past warranty I knew this meant trouble. He didn't disappoint.
He explains that the reformatting disk won't work after the one-year expiration date. I'm numb. I eek out a "why ??" He tells me the program is designed that way however he has a solution. Send 49.95 for one year extended or 119.95 for a lifetime extended and support will send me the upgrade.

hehe, one thing I did get out of all this that customer support reps either love verbal abuse or aren't allowed to hang up on the customer. I hope when they used the 'this call my be recorded to assure quality control' function, and I made it in the support hall of fame archives of abusive customer recorded calls.
Needless to say, I'll never buy another Hewitt-Packard computer or any other pc that is designed to extort money off its customers. The days of the repeat customer has been derailed for a lousy extended warranty sabatoge. I just don't know where this business world is going anymore. It's sad.

Oh T2, that sucks
Consumer donkeyism indeed sucks. My 3 mile walk just made me forget all about that post and reminded me to drop the smokes.
and by the way, I still want to thank my care package person again. I still think about that a lot. Care to drop a hint yet ??
welp, time to go to our little shit town's nicest eatery (Italian) (good eats) I expect mild overages and waistline collateral damages for the day.

Is this a hint at a pending stop date?
I won't be mentioning it again - no one wants to be nagged, but when you're ready, you'll toss 'em, and be done. I know you're strong - and it takes just that and you'll have all of us to bitch at when you need to
Still no word?
You'll walk it off
Oh wait, you already HAVE! Good job on the 3 miles!

It's probably best I don't announce it and let you see if you can tell if and when. I'm sure you'll see the signs
None
You'll walk it off
Thank you. I'm actually thinking about taking a week off walking next week, pondering stage for now. As grumpy as I was during my injury, I can't believe how the fat has been coming off since the break. I swore off new pics till the holidays but I think since my August stand-up pic there's quite a difference now.
anyhoot, shower time for the mangiafest. Feel free to manhandle anyone in my diary that gets out of line

Ohhh, that could be fun
Seriously, it helps talking to people who've been through it.
I don't know if we could live with you if you stop smoking AND stopped walking for a week, it might be more than we could cope with, but we will
I just went back to my half way pics - and there is something SO motivating about looking at where you've been and where you're at. I told myself I wouldn't post pics until I reach my half way mark of my last half (which would be 180.5 lbs). I'm only down 13 pounds since my posted pictures, and I don't think there's any change.

Ooooo! I love being left in charge!!

Only ?? I'll bet us outsiders could tell the difference. That's a considerable percentage. It must be in the 5%+ of your body weight (rough guess here). If you can feel the difference, I'm sure we could see it

I don't really feel a difference though. I had just bought size 16's and they are now loose and all the 14's I've tried on fit (with an exception of one pair that were ummm...ENTIRELY too young for me)
But I think part of the issue is that warped sense of self we get when we've been big.When I was 250+ I never felt I was as big as the number on the scale said. Until I looked at a picture. Then I felt that the picture just exaggerated what I looked like, as if it merely caught me at a bad angle...but now as I've lost weight, I still FEEL like I'm just about as big as I was - at any weight. One of my friends has taken to calling me Little Debi (there are Little Debbie snack cakes/cookies sold here), and I don't FEEL little - honestly, I still feel huge compared to most.
At one point in my life I was 5'7" and 115 pounds...any sane person would think that was fabulous. But I was 10 years old and all my friends were 70 pounds - so no matter what my weight, I was bigger then everyone else.
It warps our impressions after awhile.
