Thanks guys for the words of encouragement. One thing I've noticed is I don't have to eat as much. During Thanksgiving, I ate probably 1/4 of what I would have ate in the past.

I look back & can better understand now why I used to be very overweight. I am horrified when I look at what some people pile onto their plates. I probably eat about half or less of what I used to. Well done Matt!

Yeah I'm just worried what to do in terms of walking during January and February when the weather turns bad. Last year it alternated between snow and freezing rain.

While I still a few pounds away from my goal, this is still significant b/c this was my starting weight (technically it was 279) last time I tried to lose weight, about 8 years ago.
