So ... after 5 and a half weeks, I've dropped 17 lbs and am starting to feel
a heck of a lot better.
I am watching what I eat as well .... if fact I've probably over done that.
Doc says a pound a week weight loss is ideal, so I may increase the calorie
intake a bit.

Starting to get into it now .... I feel guilty if I don't get down there on
time or do anything less than I did the day before.

congrats! I've got a weight machine and a treadmill. I need to mount a
TV on the wall like you, I get bored to tears on the treadmill, so I
walk unless it's raining. Been sprint walking for awhile, and am about
ready to step it up to running. 17 pounds in 5 1/2 weeks is admirable.
