    Hi Ted
    Well done on starting going to the YMCA and swimming, that's great.
    Its easy to sit around and watch tv and not think about what you are eating, I know I've done it.
    That was a huge drop in calorie intake, You do have to eat more the larger you are. Eating to little makes your body think Its being starved so it conserves what it has. Up your calories to 2,200 and see how that goes.
    I wish you luck on your journey, You can do it.

    Ted, I commend you. I "only" have 40 lbs to lose and can't seem to get motivated. I'm so impressed that you started this journey. I wish you motivation and success!! Swim a lap for me. ;)
