You may recall I've been on a diet since Jan. 1. See: http://markcronan.livejournal.com/80663.html

So I have not gotten around to updating progress. As of March 1, I am down to 160#, 30 pounds lost so far in two months, and five more pounds to go.

The weight loss is slowing, as expected, but I am still just about on target. The hard part will be to make a soft landing and maintain my final weight (which I hope to be 155#).

Again, still not much exercise (though I should be doing more - and I am capable of doing more now that I am not carrying around an extra 30#). Still below 1000 calories a day on average, though I am increasing that a bit here and there. Last night we had dinner with Melody's friend Keith and his new girlfriend and their friend Joe, and that put me over my calories for the day (but no weight gain from it). So, I know I can increase it a bit and so far not gain weight (with still gradual loss over time).
