So, I'm now in the category of simply being "overweight."
![big grin :D](./images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
It's been a bit slow going for me. I started tracking my weight last fall and my starting point was 255. I'm guessing my highest weight was 260, based on doctor visit weigh-ins.
My biggest health issue is mental. I suffer from severe depression, and there are times when I just have absolutely no motivation. While the bulk of my diet remains compliant, I have those occasional slips where I fall into "convenience mode." A turkey sandwich from the deli at the grocery store I go to; a package of frozen chimichangas; a carton of eggs; a can of chili con carne.
But, with the arrival of summer here in the Pacific Northwest, I'm feeling a renewal of motivation and now I've seen some solid progress. I'm sticking with the plan, walking at least two miles a day and feeling pretty dadgum good.
Only two pounds away from the 220s. Woot!
