Start Weight:	(07 Oct 10) 250.0 lb
Current Weight:	(07 May 13) 209.4 lb
Goal Weight:	200.0 lb

following: Calorie Count
performance: losing 2.5 lb a week

Originally from the New Jersey shore area, I was always a bit larger than my classmates. I was able to ignore most of my classmates' taunting and teasing by avoiding almost every social event ever. I have maintained this trait for years, and now that I'm 29 I am realizing that I have missed out a bit of fun by hiding for my fear of eating in front of others. In 2001, I moved to Washington, DC/Maryland for college and have made it my home. I work in downtown DC with for the government, live with my best friend/fiance and actively epee fence.

Next goal - 190 lbs

Does anybody else hate shopping for pants/jeans?
I love pant shopping... finding tops is another matter. I have found both Old Navy and New York & Co have good jeans and pants for my size and shape.

You might also want to see if there is a Me-ality (http://www.me-ality.com/) at a mall near you. You step into the clear glass "fitting room" and they use a basically a microwave to measure you. It works using the amount of water in your fat verus muscles. Then they tell you what size you wear in a number of stores in the mall. For example, I wear a size 15 juniors in Bogo jeans from Sears, but a size 14 in American Eagle jeans and a 16 in dress pants at White House/Black Market. It's free and painless... really made me feel good!

Visiting the US- advice please!
If you are taking the Amtrak from New York to Florida, might I recommend at least a short layover in Washington DC. Union Station in DC is beautiful, has great shopping and if you walk out the front door of the station you can see the Capitol Building.

Body by Vi Challenge
So far, I have been adding it to juice and tea. I figured I would have tea anyway (0 calories) and the mix makes it sweet (so no sugar needs to be added). I might try it with coffee tomorrow.

Yes, but I still find it chalky. Not to mention sweet.

Carly and Aberk do you mind if I add you both as fs buddies? I am starting the challenge today. I'd appreciate any tips, tricks or recipes. I am not loving the texture I'm getting when I mix the drinks but I'll stick with it a while.
