Quick update: Weighed in before leaving for a weeklong vacation, and was down to 180.6 lbs (I think -- I don't have the documentation in front of me). Got my "10%" keyring from WW, and achieved one of my two milestones. Now, just another 7 lbs and I'll be down to goal weight. Hopefully the vacation didn't blow it for me, though I think I showed an admirable amount of restraint while I was gone!
And
braisler, a fellow TFPer named
brianna noted to me that while you're correct about the maleness of this thread, the overwhelming majority of TFPers are also male, so it might be difficult to make any solid assumptions regarding participation in weight loss discussions. I think perhaps there may be a case for linking "willingness to discuss weight loss" with men, though
Just my opinion.
Oh! I nearly forgot... a real bonus of the recent weight loss and new body shape meant that I got to shop in some pretty cool stores while I was on vacation. One store in particular I shopped in last summer and left after trying on two items. Just not for me, I noted back then (of course, i was probably close to 20 lbs heavier). This time, my wife and I spent over an hour in there trying on great looking clothes.
