OK, I need to lose some weight. I'm working on the exercise front. And I've been doing better at resisting the call of the vending machine during the long afternoon hours and eating more fruits and vegetables. I need to cut back a lot more on fast food. Cook more and eat less heavily processed foods. And I'm going to stop doing sweets other than fruit (except for the tasty chocs that Mel and Chris brought me--those I'm going to hoard for special treats). And I'm going to stop drinking alcohol for a while; partly so as to drop the calories and partly because I like doing that every once in a while, just to make sure I can.

Edit: Thanks to all for the encouragement and suggestions! :-)

Use an online BMI calculator...if you dare. I just happen to use several this morning. It's rather depressing.

You however should use it for motivation ;)

According to all BMI calculators, I'm morbidly obese. According to all BMI calculators I'm "overweight" when I'm *thin* (as in, my college "running up and down hills and staircases all day and doing sports regularly" weight). Of course, I also sink in water. I think aliens (or Bryan COx) secretly replaced my bones with titanium.

I need to lose about 60 pounds to be "thin"; if I could lose about 30-40 I would be happy.
