As a librarian, I do a lot of materials handling, from sorting carts of books to shelving (which means a lot of bending at the knee and carrying 10-20lb stacks). Despite the physical requirements of my job, I have continued to gain weight.

My original weight gain began four years ago and was triggered by my 6 month tangle with depo, a form of birth control that is often used as a last resort. However, since then, I have continued to gain weight gradually over time.

As of June 6, 2011, I have topped out at 195 lbs. Aside from have slightly raised cholesterol, I'm starting to have lower back problems as well. I can't stand the idea that I might hit the 200 marker, when 4 years ago, I weighed 135. I don't want to have unrealistic goals. My health is the most important factor in my diet. I would like to get down to 150, but I don't expect this to happen over night.

My goal is to lose 1-2 lbs per week over the next few years. I have had successful diets in the past. I'd like to make this one successful as well.

Nothing to do with diet..Just curious if you do your towels last..
I find that, each week, when it is time to do laundry, the things we need the most are pants and work clothes. We usually have more clean towels left in the closet, so towels are low priority.
