the last few are the hardest

After nearly breaking the bathroom scale (at 275 pounds, about 2-3 years ago) I've been on a long, slow, steady weight loss thing (notice how I avoid the D word). I've been hovering at 195 for several months, and have been aiming for 174 as a target weight. But, those last 20 pounds are proving to be tough. So, I've been toying with the South Beach Diet for the past few days, and so far it's resulted in a 4-pound weight loss. That's good, I guess .. anything to get me off the 195-pound dime.

Naturally, the real trick will be keeping it off after the weight loss, but I can do that. Discipline, discipline.

btw, the South Beach Diet is basically a modifed Atkin's Diet: big woop.
