Milestone!

I have now lost 26.6 pounds since January 7, 2005. That's an average of 2.42 pounds per week (arithmetic mean; 11 full weeks).I am a weight loss machine! 5.4 pounds seperates me from my 10% initial goal. I am now under 300 pounds (current weight: 297.2 pounds)for the first time in recent memory. I will not be denied! The long term goal is to have lost a total of 100 pounds by my 25th birthday, December 15, 2005. I cannot recall the last time I weighed close to 220 pounds. I was likely in Middle School. I will not be overweight for the rest of my adult life! I am Tom Tostanoski. I have found the ability to lose weight. I have found that I am not locked in by my piss-poor genetics and a culture of excess. I am an independant thinker learning how to become an independant eater. I am Tom Tostanoski, 24 year old American male, and I am no longer a slave to food.
