After a month of no progress, finally a downward tick in the graph.  I've revised my short-term goal, since I had significantly missed the "less than 300 by Christmas [2006]".  Now I'm shooting for under 300 before my next Newfoundland trip this summer.  The current Weight Watchers session is 12 weeks, which takes me to around Independence Day.  Ideally, I want to be under 300 before that date, but I'll have a better idea of how attainable that is after next week's weighing. If significant weight loss stories are your interest, this guy also weighed 400 pounds, and only 3 months into his weight loss journey ran a bloody marathon over the course of 9 hours.  That's... astounding.  There's no way I could do that.
