362#.
Step 1. Cut soda/pop out. Benefit? Lost 21# in less than a month. Then plateaued.
I'm still figuring out what Step 2 will look like. Have to balance a very stressful and time demanding job with whatever I do, but it is going to be some form of regular exercise that I can make habitual. I find that if I have success with something and then apply the methodology/psychology I used to achieve it to the next thing, I do much better. This is really only the second time I've been serious about losing weight. 2 years ago I dropped about 50# in 6 months or so. Moved back to Kansas and gained it all back and then some. I think I was treating a mild case of depression with food and gallons and gallons of Mountain Dew.
I had cut the pop out in 2014 as well but I also was extremely intentional about hydration then and I think it really helped. I'm having a more difficult time getting enough water down the hatch this time. Still working on it though.
I appreciate what everyone has shared. This is really the first time I have mentioned any details about myself and my weight. I'm embarrassed about it generally speaking.
