Good afternoon, all,

Been doing various types of dieting for about 5 or 6 years, losing a few
kilos, regaining a few kilos, etc. (I do body-building, too, with the same
gain a few kilos of muscle, then lose a few kilos of muscle... So, it's
impossible to guess how well I'm doing just by looking at my overall weight)

This year, I'm taking a more extreme and consistant approach to dieting
(basically, I aim for 250 calories per day (I think I've only done maybe 7
or 8 days like that) and then I have an upper limit of 1000 calories (my BMR
is 2000) With a 15 - 30 minute workout each day to avoid muscle loss.

Another big help this year (crucial, even) I got a 'bioelectrical
impedence' scale. They're not perfect, but used properly (same level of
hydration, etc.) they can offer a reasonably consistent example of weight
loss, without having to factor in bone-mass, water-weight, etc. (I'm down
from 34kg of fat, to about 25.5kg since start of January (diet started
seriously in February))
Or, in more traditional terms, I'm 6' and down from 104kg (or thereabouts)
to 93.5kg.

Wonderful system, for me, but probably useless for anyone else reading.
(Going to the gym once a day, and doing a serious weight-lifting workout is
absolutely crucial. Also, my energy levels seem unaffected by so little food
(occasional headaches/faintness on 250 cal, absolutely fine on 1000cal)

So, anyway, here I am. Seen some interesting recipe ideas (although I'm not
using the 'points' system myself) and a few fascinating articles. A quick
browse suggest that folks are nice enough (maybe a little bit too 'support
group-ish' for my tastes, but that's to be expected from a support group)
Also, you just can't go past the basic charm of ancient usenet
messageboards, nice little throwback to the proto-internet era when I grew
up.
