but I'll take it

Congratulations, I know how good that feels. Hey lets go out and celebrate. I'm buying the first round of sundaes!

Except I don't know if I'm well enough to work out. Plus I can only get to a decent grocery store once a week and food will run out fast if I bump my calories now.

But 199.2 lbs Whooo! %3-4 Bodyfat and 24.2 pounds left to go!

I strongly recommend getting a stationary bike and using that for exercise for a while. I hadn't done any cardio challenging exercise in years, but by using the bike I've been able to get sweaty and go hard without doing my knees any harm. In fact I'm pretty sure it is strengthening my bum knee. Being older doing the weight lifting has been good too, and I've never lifted before.

How tall are you IA? Do you have a notion of what you'd like your ultimate weight to be? I'm just over 5' 11" now and my best guess of where I ought to end up is 175 lb. I'm still hovering around the high 180's in maintenance mode thanks to the exercise. And the exercise has given me a lot more energy too.

Edited because I just realized your target weight is also 175 lb. Where are you located anyhow? If we had the opportunity we should get a photo of us both at 175 some day.

Happy for you!

And yeah, if anyone knows of any sugarless drinks without acid besides water and milk please let me know!

You can do it like Mooney and prepare your own cool drink with one of these:

(there's tons of different models, these are just for example)


I put out a big clear container with filtered water, ice and sliced meyer lemons at our annual party on Sunday.  It was all drunk.  I also made a big dispenser of unsweetened iced tea and there was a lot of wine between what I put out and what people brought.  I think people really appreciated having a cool drink on a warm day that didn't have calories.  

Funny but I find myself having to remember to drink water now.  I've always drunk a lot of water until recently, now I just don't feel the thirst that much directly.  Weird.

Ummm... isn't there acid in fruit? I can't even have coffee anymore, lol. I'm pretty sure the acid in coffee isn't as bad as in fruit.

Sure, that would be much better than fruit juices. But my teeth are getting desperate at this point.


Some people like to put sliced cucumber in the water or mint or basil.  Not bad really.
