Calories Counted: Hard to say, around 2000?
Had a bowl of shredded wheat for lunch, a salad with black beans and tuna fish for lunch and weight watcher chicken chili for dinner - I probably had too much chili, had 2 full bowls, but I'm telling you, that stuff was pretty damned good, and if I'm going to 'overeat', it might as well be weight watcher's chicken chili.
The tailbone's still busting me up, but I'm noticing that it's either going away slowly - or the Aleve I'm taking is really working wonders. I got a pretty good workout in the past few days, even if I haven't been able to do 'heavy lifting'.
In other news, a few months ago I bought a belt that was size 46/48 - I bought this belt because my old one was too big, and I had to poke holes in it to make it fit. I lost enough weight to get into the 46/48 belt. Over the past few months, my 'new, smaller' belt started eating up the belt holes to the point where today Erin was able to buy me a third belt - this one a size 42. That's pretty cool to me - because the first belt I had was a size 50/52. That's 10/12 belt sizes for you mathematicians out there. A small victory in a war against the scale that's been a stalemate these past few months. Goes to show that you can lose inches even if the pounds aren't disappearing.
Also, I'm a big concerned about the state of the FAT Coalition lately. It's been dead. What used to be a daily blog for many has turned into 1 - maybe 2 a week. I know the weather and season changes are affecting us, other issues have come into play, and maybe it's just getting old or tough - but I'm seeing a slowdown again. If you're struggling, maybe it's time to use the ol' blog a bit more. Perhaps touching base with everyone will re-energize you. Lord knows that this blog has single-handedly saved me from falling off the wagon more times than I can count.
So, for those of you who this applies to - I hope things are going well. Keep in touch more often - I check everyone's blog at least 5 or 6 times a day, and I'd love to have more blogs to leave comments for, and more teammates to cheer on!

Rob, you've always inspired me in this journey. I haven't blogged for awhile but plan to tomorrow.
Congrats on the belt. I know that feels so good.
Congrats on the new belt, bro. I think I'll be needing one soon, too, but I haven't shrunk anywhere near as much as you. So keep rocking, Tuck, you're gettting closer everyday, and if you look just a bit ahead, you'll see the 260's.
Look at those inches you have lost! Congrats on the new belt, that is great :) Way to keep your workouts going even with restrictions. Kudos on your clean streak to!
Way to go on the belt - 10/12 belt sizes is BIG. Literally. Kinda. Or small, depending on how you look at it. You know what I mean. ;) I noticed that you are at fourth and 21 - when I first started reading you had like 60 lbs to lose. I'm so proud of your progress!
As far as the blogging goes, I guess it's hard for me to really see the slowdown because I can only check my reader a couple times a week, so it seems like a lot to me! I would love to be able to blog more, but it has slipped down my list of priorities, simply due to other, in my opinion, more important things. We all have busy lives, and we find time to do what we want/need to do. Since school started, I very rarely watch TV, and I rarely blog, to name two things. I miss doing them all, but it's the sacrifice I'm making to put all my effort into my success as a student. I know it gets lonely though, to check people's blogs and there's nothing there, so I will try to blog more often, even if it's just a quicky.
That's a big deal! Good job!
