For a while I thought I was going to have to confess to another set point or plateau this month. But in the last week I’ve dropped some weight and while the overall weight loss is only .9 pounds. It’s still a loss. I’m just about 4 1/2 pounds away from my next reward. Finally […]

A few weeks ago, I went for my yearly physical. In preparation for this, I went to get blood tests. In the interests of light and transparency, I’m not only posting this year’s values for some of the more important tests, but test values that I can find going back to 2005 as well. I […]

Believe it or not, while I haven’t been posting, some things have been going on for me. The set point disappeared. So far in the first month of the year, I lost 4 1/2 pounds. I’m officially out of the 180’s. What is even more amazing is I did it without exercise. I also did […]

So I’m still at that darned set point. My weight this month fluctuated between 180 and 183. Not horrible. But still oh so frustrating. Part of me wants to blame Hurricane Sandy for this. But even though it would be convenient, I can’t. I did it to myself. In 2003, I went through Hurricane Isabelle. […]

Another month of frustration. I’ve lost a pound this month. 1 pound. Which means I’ve only got to lose just over one pound to reach the low of 179 that I hit oh so briefly 3 months ago. So I’m frustrated. Earlier on this journey, I was losing four to five pounds a month. On […]

This month has been an exercise in frustration. Within a day or two of writing my last post, I was down to 179 pounds! Wow, 21 pounds gone and I was out of the 180’s. Life was good I thought. But then I ended up gaining about 3 pounds in the month and when I […]

This has been another hard month. Part of it is psychological, I’ve spent most of the last 7 years in the 180’s, always seeming to lose and then regain the same 10 pounds. The other part of is that I don’t look as heavy as I actually am. Most people usually peg me at 30-40 […]

“Reduce your diet by 500 calories a day and lose a pound a week!” I’ve been seeing headlines like that for a long time and I’m sure you have too. So why when I did exactly what was promoted did I not lose weight? Since I’ve had such great success at losing weight on a […]

My weight loss was slightly weird this month and didn’t fit my usual pattern. It could have been one of a few things or a combination: Going on a camping trip the first weekend and imbibing a bit with some mead and chocolate. Adding coconut meat and water to my diet and not eating as […]

Wow, what a month. After a few months of calorie restriction that didn’t go anywhere along with copious amounts of exercise where I ended up gaining weight, I went on a 3 week milk cure and lost almost 6 pounds in three weeks. This month I embarked on my ketogenic (low carbohydrate) eating plan. I […]
