Day 44 -- still 23 pounds gone
2-13-07
265/242/200 Day 44 and still 23 pounds gone I got on my scale just now and the indicator still did not go lower than 242. (Actually it might have gone a pound higher had I let it do so.) So I'm still officially at 242. I had about 1300 calories yesterday and so I'm doing pretty well with the calorie deficit. Life is getting busier day by day, and my far better half said that if I want to take on a new project, I should give up a project I'm engaged in now. Probably right - only so many hours in a day, a week, etc. I hope to go exercising tonight. I left the office at 7:30 PM last night and hope to get home much earlier tonight. Even if I don't go up my hill, then going up and down my flight of stairs with a heavy backpack might be good for me. Snowshoeing this Sunday is planned, the weather permitting. I hope everyone has a great day and rest of the week! Yours truly, Caleb |

A little faster than some would lose and a little slower than others would lose. And I'm very pleased with the progress. It's a matter of maintaining task focus and having an effective weight loss program. I'm being "good enough" and I am pretty sure I'm going to be "good enough for long enough." Thanks for asking! Yours, Caleb |

Yours, Caleb Very encouraging. I've been fluctuating between 180 to 183 pounds for in the last 16 days. I was wondering what was going on. Yet I've been taking about 1650 calories in average during that period. This morning, I have finally reached a number in the 170's. I weighted 179. I have not drank a lot in the last two months. I'm starting to drink much more water. Hopefully, it will make a difference.

Great improvement for you! I sure agree with water, except a lot of water before bed at night. Keep it up! Yours, Caleb |

Del -- He's losing weight, is enthusiastic. My wife would say the chocolate is good. 50% pb&j on bread is probably as good or better than what a lot of Americans eat, especially if he's making it temporary to get down to a health weight. Sorry, no sighs from me, but congratulations! Or do you have a fool-proof diet one that everyone likes? Or one even close to it? Yours, Caleb |
