Woo Hoo! Despite our asston of Chinese Takeout (granted, less than the asston we used to buy in a given order...), despite the fact that my main form of exercise last week was walking, and despite having ice cream for dessert almost every night, I am down to 220. That's a mere one pound away from my second 10% of my body weight lost. I have a feeling that I can do this... ;) It's now 59 pounds lost from my maximum. I think it's time for some bike shorts and stretch pants in Large. My XLs are baggy. I'm seriously considering trying my hand at altering the regular shorts I have. Who knows how well that will go, but it'll be better than keeping them on as clown pants... Once I do my exercises today, I think I'll start on that.

Hee, I know the feeling of clown pants. We now know that me + someone else can fit in my old sweatpants...

Congrats. I wish my Chinese takeout-and-ice cream lifestyle was working that well. :D

Two of the pairs have drawstrings, I've been cinching them down so they fit, but they're ridiculous when they're untied. They need serious work.

I think the success with the Chinese and ice cream come both from making what used to last me one night last for four nights and from having only a half-cup of ice cream at a time. I also drink loads of water, eat lots of whole grain stuff, and loads of fruits and veggies. So, the Chinese takeout and ice cream is just a small snapshot of what's going on.

I wish you luck making foods work more toward your advantage!
