good job on this post scotty . i have been trying to lose weight for a while now . i started in nov. 2007 weighing in over 300 i am currently at 265 . the biggest thing that i found out that helped was eating breakfast every morning and alot of water (8-8oz cups a day at least). i use to never eat in the morning but as soon as i did BAM i started dropping pounds until i got to 265 now i need to do something more than walking a mile a day . congrats though and keep it up !
