I ususually find that those that rail against healthy food and eating are those that could stand to lose a good amount of weight. When I was in Europe, I saw very few fat people and zero obese people. I walk around my state of NC and half the people are either fat or obsese. Something needs to be done. The sad part is that the most obese people that I see walking around are women.

Wow, congratulations. I did something similar a couple years ago, down at my lowest to 199. But I've been gaining a lot recently. (I'm up higher than you by several pounds now). Keep it up, you're on a roll.

I think the key to dieting is first getting started, and second, not getting sidetracked. I think if a person is ten to twenty pounds higher than his ideal weight he must simply resolve to fast with slackening until the weight he is within his margin of safety.
