Woo-hoo! Back to the Weight I Was When I Came to Indiana

Two years ago I moved from Pennsylvania. I had managed to lose a lot of weight then through a combination of two factors. First, was the get pneumonia weight loss plan. It's one I don't recommend to anyone. The second one was that I had started walking around the town. Because the town was more or less in the mountains, it was very hilly. I cut back on food and lost around 50 pounds.

Now, the weight loss stopped when I moved west. Part of the problem was I got home sick and started to make Pennsylvania Dutch food. This would normally be fine, as long as you make it in small quantities. However, this food is mostly designed for farmers and people who work hard. It's not normally made in small quantities. I made it in the amounts I was used to having. That, combined with the normal habits, caused me to gain it back.

After working out and logging -- however inaccurately -- since April, I'm back down to the weight I was when I cam to Indiana. I've still got a long way to go,but i think this is some sort of psychological accomplishment. I also finally weighed in at under 300 pounds on the Y's scale today. Now, let's see if I can stick with it.
