18 1/2

Well, I am down 18 1/2 pounds since early July.  That might not seem like much for that much time, but it was hard won.  For the last month I've been stuck at a plateau, but that is OK too.  Just maintaining during the holidays is good enough.

But even 18 1/2 pounds is enough to notice some significant changes.

• My clothes fit better.
• I don't snore as much.
• I haven't had any reflux (not major, but still not easy to deal with in the middle of the night) for months.
• It is easier to bend down to pick things up off the floor.
• And most of all, my knee is not giving me as many problems.

This isn't something I care to address often in a public forum.  But it's like a Christmas present to myself.  Happy 18 1/2!
