Haven't been giving total weight loss recently

In case anyone out there's wondering I'm at about 105 loss total.

making something outta nothing

I have to admit, I live and die according to the weekly weigh ins and the satisfation I get from a good weeks llost can carry me through even the most trying weeks. So it was with the utmost frustration that I posted only a 1.6 lb loss. I hate to think that the ugly p-ward has reared it's head. Yeah, I know...Het at least you're losing and you can't keep thing you vcan keep a 6 lbs average going forever. But concidering the amount of cals in vs. the cals burned. ....somethings got to give.

A response to a liquid dieter who had given up

The New Direction program has worked well for me at least in this reducing stage. Once I developed a plan for nutrition and fitness, I stuck with it to a tee. That's not to say I'm extraordinarily disciplined, but the immediate payoff of seeing my blood sugar and cholesterol levels plummet made not pulling up to a drive-thru seem trivial. And to be honest, i really need a break from food decisions and food guilt and the time to reformulate a NEW approach towards eating. I know ketosis gives me a holiday from hunger and the challenge of transitioning and maintenance has killed many an earnest dieters efforts, but I gotta get an attack plan for that as well....'cause I can't go back and I WON'T go back.

Calling Chef Bruno !!!!

Something of a recent weight loss legend as well as a liquid diet success story is Chef Luis Bruno. I have used him as an inspiration over the past few months and I hope one day to meet him in person.

Not another "dead"blog.....

81.2 POUNDS. Yes, the constipation and dull hunger is a given, but so is the validation high...

A rememberance of pounds past

Today, I ran across a web site targetted at weight loss in the African American community. I had joined almost two years ago recorded my estimated weight at the time and rarely returned (if ever). I returned today and recorded my current weight, without checking the original and was surprised to find that it was 440 lbs, giving me a respectable 67 lb weight loss in the 2 year period. All the more significant that 79% of the weight was lost in the past 8 weeks. What motivation (and ketosis)can do.

The force of July

Whew, it's over the day of reckoning has come and passed. The family had a twenty person "Forth Feast" with all the trimmings, with me grilling up the chicken and ribs all attending had their fill, and I faithful to the program... Alas,.Labor Day beckons
