Commentary:

Looks like I am down to a normal weight loss number this week. it was taking me a lot of effort (bad eating) to maintain that 240.5 I had going. Now, I am in the trenches where every pound seems to hang on for dear life. I am glad to be below 230. I have been stuck at 230 for years. In the past I would gain 10 lbs or lose 10 lbs, then I would level off at 230. Thanks everyone for your encouraging words. I am having a great time being in the same boat with you all, lets keep rowing!
