I was hoping my weight would have gone down more, oh well. I thought I might be getting over this illness, but I might have gotten bronchitis. I have chest congestion and an occasional nasty cough.
 
Matt, do you think it might be the bags of chips/crisps? Maybe cut them out for a few days & have some more veggies? I hope you get over this cold/bronchitis thing. You seem to get them a lot.

Hey Jon, I am impressed by your routine. Walking 3 hours or so every day is a lot of exercise, you must enjoy it. What kinds of places do you walk?

I also appreciate your posts, it make it easy to see your progress.

When I was younger I liked to walk, but I've been overweight too many years, my feet and legs won't take it any more.

Best of luck to you!

Thanks. I usually walk around my apartment complex and the surrounding neighborhood. Sadly, I have been walking a but less because my dog has gotten older and doesn't want to walk as much.
 
Hey John! The best of luck!

I've just read your first post and the last page, and although I couldn't see how much weight you've lost, it seems you are doing just fine :))

I would suggest eating more 'real' food (vegetables and meat), that is what usually sets me of junk food (chips, cookies).

My weigh is going down but a lot slower than I would like. Also I'm feeling better for the last few days. I don't know if it's because it's stopped raining today or the rain washed most of the pollen away!

I fell asleep after work and when I woke up it was raining pretty hard. I tried taking the dog out but got soaking wet. She still wanted to go out and I had to take her for a walk around 5 am!

Your good old dog! You're a great caring owner to be gallantly getting up to give her the walk she wants at five in the morning! :)
