The diet still seems to be working

Down another 5 pounds for February, making 15 for the year. January second was 190, now I'm at 174.5

Reduced sugars, reduced refined grains, and portion control. I miss soda sometimes, and cheated for my birthday with a two liter but even with that made my 5 pound goal for the month. Not counting calories, haven't even added exercise yet. So I still have ways for an extra push if I plateau. Going to aim for another 5 pounds in March. Target goal is 160 or maybe 150. Definitely feels doable now.

This is awesome. I need to follow your example and am making progress but not as much as you.

@BiasForAction It has really been about reducing portions, and increasing proteins for feeling full for longer. I had a 4 oz steak with a fried egg and some sweet peppers for lunch today. In the before times it would have been a 12 or 16 oz steak. Or honestly, probably something cheaper than steak but a lot worse for me, like a hamburger or something. Good food becomes much more affordable when you portion it out.
