Does losing weight count? According to the arbitrarily precise $20 digital bathroom scale I bought from Walmart, I weighed 233.6 lbs on July 1, and 223.4 lbs as of this morning.

I weighed 263.8 lbs on April 16, about two weeks after the start of my current diet. The BMI charts I've looked at say I should weigh ~ 170 lbs, or about what I did in my senior year of high school ('77-'78). That weight doesn't sound feasible to me now.
