Hi, Don Luigi. I was just reading your post and I found it surprising that your favorite beverage is Horchata. That is one of my favorites also but only get to have some once a year! They don't have that stuff around here that is good enough for me.

Good luck in your journey!

My goal is 133lbs. which I am happy to say I am well on the way to achieving my goal. I have tried for years to lose weight without success, but I now seem to be more postive in my approach to dieting now. For my health's sake I hope I can achieve my goal. I started c.c at 273lbs and to date I am 180lbs. So to all of you out there stick in and good luck

15. How did you find Calorie Count? I did a search for a BMI calculator and ended up here a couple of months ago. I really like it so far, and it's been nice to see my progress charted out for me.

16. Anything Else You'd Like To Share? I seem to have hit a plateau in my weightloss, I've been stuck for about 3 weeks now. I need to stay motivated and I need to make time to make this happen for me. I know that if I find someone else to be accountable to, it will keep me competative enough to get to my goal.
