nice work! The feeling better is always the best bonus!  

Yes, and one will lose weight with limited calories. I am not starving now. Am I eating chips? Fritos? Butter? Mayonnaise? Fattening salad dressing? Cake? Pie? Brownies? Sugary drinks? NO! If one eats sensibly one can lose. And people who are able to go to the gym every day need to go, when they get physically unable, perhaps due to pain issues - they will sure wish they could do it... 

Keep that up and you'll need to go shopping for some new clothes.  

Thanks Buffy. I can always wear a belt. Last time I lost weight and got to around 200 my waist size went to 34 from its present 36 - I still have some too-tight jeans in there that will fit. And shirts will be fine as they often shrink a little anyway. I ate about 1700 calories for today, August 8, 2012. I am going to try to get a surgical consult for my back - the pain is too much. Enough is enough. 

August 9, 2012: 1800 calories for the day. Doing well, staying on track.
