Experiment Continues… Failed to Drop a Pound

Six days of exercise and an 80% reduction in treat intake and this is my #$%! reward:
Weight: 212.2 lbs.
Waist: 39.5 inches

On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I’m [...]

Exercise is Worthless

Okay, so exercise *probably* isn’t worthless, but here’s my point:
Weight: 212.4 lbs.
Waist: 39.5 inches
No change.  How annoying is that?!
I finally get myself organized and motivated to exercise FOUR times last week (yes, I WAS proud of myself).  So, this week I started out with a great workout AND shoveled the driveway before my weigh-in, but [...]
