Congratulations on getting to the halfway point! My girlfriend finally got sick of her weight and started using an app to help her with her daily calorie count. She has lost at least 5 pounds over the last couple/few weeks, maybe more. Me, I'm eating less, and making myself wait if I feel I'm that hungry. It helps! I wait five minutes and forget I wanted food, not needed it. I get full faster, and that means I'm not eating all I can. We even had pizza at work last night, I took my two pieces, at th m and didn't even want anymore, and I can devuor a pizza. I started at 278 pounds, and am down to 270 as of last night. Thanks for posting this, it helps, it got me to think about losing weight, and showing it wasn't that difficult when you set our mind to it.
