Update

I lost about a pound a day since you guys started.  I used my food journal to see what I ate last year and pretty much followed that.  This time last year my wife and I were planning on taking our families on a cruise.  Since we were going to eat a ton and do very little moving, we figured we would try to lose some weight before.  

So I lost 5 pounds over this week, but am still about 6 pounds heavier than last year.

The lowest I got was 195, but that got screwed up this weekend (3/14).  Something about rice.  It just refuses to leave my system.
