Seems to me you know what works for you -- so STICK TO IT!

GREAT ATTITUDE!

I am with you Caleb. All the way. Damn the torpedos and negative talk. I
love your positive attitude and gusto.

I am looking to lose 44 lbs by 1 Jan 2005. This is 2 lbs a week for 22
weeks. I weigh-in each and every Saturday a.m. I tipped the scales
yesterday (7-31-04) @ 201. 2 lbs a week will put me at 157 on New Year's
day.

If all goes according to plan, I will lose ~30 of those lbs during the
100 days to Turkey Day.

How will I do it? Well I already exercise a lot, so that will remain the
same. I will average 2100 calories a day during this time. For me this
breaks down to 1600 calories a day during the week, w/7000 total
calories over the weekend. This comes to 15,000 calories a week or 2142
calories a day. THIS MUST BE ADHERED TO.

Simple and sweet.

Be good enough, long enough.

Good luck everyone. I bit the bullet at 223 pounds a week or so back, and
I'm working on an extra-low calorie regime. For now about 800 cals per day.
This works out for me to about 0.7 pounds a day, and of course it's not
sustainable. But I'll stick with it until my static metabolism goes crazy,
and then make adjustments.

Let's see how it goes. I've promised myself a Miata when I hit 175.

portion of rum. I used to drink those things looking out at the North
Shore of Oahu near Laie Bay. Your goal is terriric! Stick with it!

Let's all be good enough for long enough!

Yours,

Caleb

Caleb, not mai tai, Miata. Mazda Miata.
