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 […]

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 […]

One thing I’m realizing about weight loss is that there are no easy answers. For the first few months I saw my weight loss as a pattern (and being a programmer, I like patterns). Then last month and this month, the pattern went to hell. After my last report, I began gaining weight and not […]

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 […]

So this past month was a game changer. But probably not in the way that any average person would think. I’m changing my way of thinking about all this because I’m realizing a bunch of things I thought and blogged was wrong. So mea-culpa. If you don’t know, these posts are written early and scheduled […]

I’m an idiot. Seriously. If I could I’d slap myself. Since that isn’t really possible (I’d duck), I’m posting this as a public mea culpa. Three weeks of drinking nothing but raw milk (3 1/2 quarts to a gallon a day) and watching the changes that came over my body was a revelation to me. I lost […]
