The first 10% off. I've made it. In September, I weighed 272 pounds. This morning, the scale read 244. In the last month, I've lost an inch off my waist, two off my hips, and 1/4" off my neck. I feel stronger and more energetic. Some of my clothes fit better than they have in over a year. Some look like the baggy stuff on models in a weight loss commercial. If the ubiquitous shorts I wear over stretch pants didn't have a drawstring, they'd be falling off.
I am by no means to my goal, but I can safely say that I am making consistent progress.
To get my next 10% off, I need to take off about 25 pounds. 219, here I come!
Oh, and since

GUILTY PLEASURES
Culinary: Cookies and Cream Fudge -- it's sinfully delicious, but one serving is so small... (There is a nutritional info link on the recipe page.)
Literary: I still adore losing myself in the science fiction and fantasy novels I grew up on.
Audiovisual: Hands down, The Tomorrow People is my cheesy 70's British science fiction show of choice.
Musical: Alone, in my living room, you might catch me bopping along to rap, r&B, pop, or techno in French, German, Russian, Spanish, or some other language I don't speak. Some of it is as cheesy as the Heluva Good gift shop, but I just don't care.
Celebrity: These days, Johnny Depp's many theatrical incarnations can still get my bosom tingling in the way his Edward Scissorhands character did.
So, what are your guilty pleasures?
