End of Competition?

So the competition was scheduled to end last week, however there was no scale available last week, so I'm still waiting to weigh-in. On the upside, I am now down to around 250, and today I pulled out an old pair of pants from my closet, and they are no longer uncomfortably tight. I'm getting back to around where I was several years ago. My final goal is 180, which I have a long way to go, very long. But I have charted my course of losing 3 pounds a week, and thus far I am right on target. At this rate I'll reach 180 on May 10th, 2010. I have added a badge on my page which shows my weekly progress, and current stats. Abisha has also started on the same program with me, and she is also on the weight loss train. So far so good, and the positive reinforcement from this program is excellent. It's so nice to see a nice steady decline instead of up and down. It sends the right feedback to get things working nicely instead of the up and down feedback of just using a weight unmodified by statistics.
