Just got back from the doctor. In February I had a physical where I was run through the whole shebang: Weight, BP, Cholesterol, Blood panel (I have hypothyroidism), urinalysis, etc.
I am happy to say that since then, I have lost 14 pounds and I have to believe it's more since my trip to Vegas at the end of June. To go along with that, my cholesterol is in the mid-100s and my BP is 112/80 (medicated). Given other readings (Triglycerides and whatnot), it appears that my kidneys and liver are functioning normally as well.
I figure at this rate (knowing full well that I probably won't maintain this pace), I should be about 235 by New Years, my low watermark since college (218) by Presidents' Day, and 199 by the time UConn repeats as Basketball National Champions (Both Men and Women, of course), despite the NCAA's best efforts to prevent it.
Until then, slow and steady wins the race and small goals will be celebrated along the way.
