I really did not know exactly the amount of loss I was going to have after the first month.  My scale at home measures me heavy, the scale at the Y a little lighter.  So when I stepped on the scale yesterday for the first month weigh in I really had no idea.  I planned on only having a 6-8 pound loss but the scale came back 290 which is a 16 pound loss.  I was very happy, I really pushed myself Thur, Fri and Sat morning at the Y before the weigh in.  So now I have an idea in my head what my scale is off by so it feels much better knowiing that my loss is a little more than what I am reading on the scale. 

So begins month #2 I hope to continue with double digit numbers any were between 15-20 pounds a month.  I know that it will be very hard to maintain the numbers because the more I lose the harder it becomes to lose more.  I need to stick to the 1100 a day diet and see if I can hit that number without adding my workout burns.  I still am lookiing forward to running in the moring, if i can add that extra 500-600 burn to my normal evening work out I think I can contiune with the loss.  So as of today I have lost 100 pounds since Jan 09 and exactly 100 pounds from my goal weight.
