"scale" I've been on the new doctor mandated weight loss regime for one week now and it's working. Haven't started exercising yet, but by just cutting out the starch (basically no bread, pasta, rice or potatoes) and candy, I'm down to 235 pounds (245 w/ clothes at doctor's office).
Tonight will be a real test. A birthday party dinner at a nice Italian Restaurant. Might have to indulge in a little Capellacci, but will avoid the bread. For the entree, Filet Mignon. It's the leanest cut of beef ":-)"
Tomorrow, it's time for that family membership to the gym.
