  That is not a typo.  I have thus far lost 116 and still have about 40 more I would like to get rid of but am slowly taking the last off.  Many people that I know tell me that I should not lose more but according to the Dr. Phil book I still need to take off some more.  I started out at 278.  I have swam almost daily in the summers these past two summers and do swim on into the fall and also first thing in the spring.  In the winter I walked and also got some IE by splitting firewood and doing other things around the house and yard.    I have not lost as fast as some have however I just keep slowly taking it off.  I figure there is no rush and I have also read that if one takes the pounds off too fast they are more likely to come right back so I am trying to do this more as a healthy lifestyle and let the pounds come off naturally.  I just got out of the pool after swimming for an hour.  This I did after working for 12 hours then coming home and mowing the grass until it got dark and then I swam for the hour.  I find swimming is relaxing as well as a good way to tone those muscles.  I plan to continue to swim as often as possible for the rest of my life if I can.  When one finds an activity they enjoy I feel they should continue it and I enjoy swimming.  My biggest problem is sometimes I do not get my portions small like I should but I continue to try and learn    I feel that I will be able to get these last pounds off eventially it may be next year but that is OK as I plan to stay on this eating and exercising for the rest of my life.  Got to go.  Take care.           Alice
