Single male, 71 yrs old. 6 foot tall. Stocky build.
Weighed 281# during Dr's appointment on Mar 12, 09.
I thought I may have been having heart problems. Was not the case.
..
Started a WW type diet on approx. Mar 24.

.. . . .May 18, weighed 246.2 pounds in morning. Net loss 35 pounds in approx
55
days.
This does not seem excessive (.64 lbs/day).
I have had periods of lightheadedness. Especially when I have no
breakfast.
I am now (on a crash reduction diet) attempting to lose
as much weight as fast as possible, so I never exceed my weekly points.
(35 now). I usually range up to 85 percent of the 35 points. I bank zero
pts.

.. . . .When I get to approx 285 lbs, I will change over to a maintaining
type diet.
.. . . . . . History
.. . . .Sept 1959, 22 years old, weighted 235 pounds during Army Basic
Training 'Zero week'.
'Week 5' weighed 185 pounds during halfway PT and weight exams.
.. . . .Feb 1966, weighed 245 pounds when I went to work on Minutemen Two
missles
as an Ironworker. Six weeks later weighed 185 pounds.
.. . . .My major concern right now is the lightheadedness. I do have poor
lungs, and with
any execertion I start panting. With the summer heat now present the
lightheadedness
could be caused by those factors, or my diet.
I just got a bottle of Calcium supplement as I also suffer from
'Charlie horses' after a day of exercertion.
Daily I take a hypertension pill (Lisinopril, and a water pill). And a mass
of vitamins.
Sure would appreciate any comments, hints, advice,
or familarity with my concerns.
I Thank any and all.
