To help motivate me to keep it off, I throw away (or give away) my clothing every time I drop a waist size. I have already trashed thousands of dollars worth of clothes this year. There is no way I will ever let myself go up in size again.

Congrats, and I wish you lots of luck, but unfortunately, the old pants come in handy sometimes. What motivates me to lose the few extra pounds is having to pull a pair of pants out of retirement. I am glad I didn't have to buy em again. I went from 228 to 173 a couple of years ago. As recently as 6 months ago, I went all the way back up to 188, just by rediscovering lots of old bad habits. Now I am holding steady at 177-179, trying like hell to break through to 170. Most recently by low carbing. I believe starchy foods have been the monkey on my back since I was a little boy. Atkins is probably a good strategy for me. I don't mind it at all (except pizza...I want pizza.) But so far, all I have done is consumed a shitload of extra calories and stayed at the same weight.

Get the lo-carb tortillas, (11 grams of carbs but 8 are fiber so you can discount those) spread em with sauce add toppings, bake. Yum yum!

You can fold them to make a pazzon sort of thing or leave them flat.
