It's been a long time since I posted, so it is past time for an update.

May of 2002 I started Medifast -- a 500 calorie a day medically supervised
liquid diet.  I lost 82 pounds by November 2002 and had begun to work out.

I've done pretty well maintaining the loss.  I sold my house in August and
have been travelling.  This has screwed up my working out on a regular
basis -- but I just moved "permanently" and have been checking out gyms.  I
am going to do a trial membership at one that looks nice and should get back
into my routine.  I'll bet I've lost a lot of muscle in the last month!

I am up about 10 pounds on the weight.  Me bad.  I went on a real candy
binge around Halloween and haven't dropped it yet.  I've decided to order
some Medifast so I don't let it get out of control.  I swore to myself when
I lost the weight I'd never be fat again.  I meant it.  I was starting to
have health problems and (vanity aside) I value my life too much to lose it
over food.

So how are all of you?
