Back in episode 45 I talked about trying on some jeans. At that point I had slimmed down to a about a size 38 from 44. I later bought a two pair of size 36 jeans which I hoped would last me a few months. One of them has worn out since I have worn it 4-5 days a week for six months. So I just bought a new pair and the size that fits me now is 34. That is 10 inches lost or 5 pants sizes.

I am also at a new low for weight, at 200.1 today. And unlike when I had lost 74 pounds, at the end of the biggest loser contest, I am not starved, nor dehydraded. I believe I have lost those last twelve pounds the right way. This feels like completely new territory, because I think the last time I weighed 200 pounds or less, I wasn’t really concerned about my weight.

Super-listener Amy is on the walk with me today and we discover the true length of the Lake Fayetteville Trail is 5.25 miles, although there is a 5.28 mile marker near Veteran’s Memorial Park.

I welcome all of my new listeners in Venezuela. Bienvenidos!

I also talk about the “Real Age” website. Not as easy to get to as it used to be, but it’s still there, and a good way to find out what you can do to make your life last longer:
