Day 10 of 100 Days to Thanksgiving
Day 10 of 100 Days to Thanksgiving
253/246/195 7 pounds are still gone. Got on my scale this morning and saw that the balance indicator was substantially below the 247 mark. (Even if it had been higher, I still would not have moved it higher, because I know that if I keep on with my current diet and exercise program, I will lose weight.) I've been exercising daily by going up my nearby hill, more recently half the time with a backpack on. The total walk is about 2 miles but there is a gain of 600 feet or more. No bread, no beer, daily weighing and graphing, brushing my teeth with my clothes off (now THAT'S motivation!), low-calorie (about 1000 to 1200 calories before I subtract 300 calories for the hill exercise), one meal a day (in keeping with the fascinating research and personal habits of Mark Mattson, PhD and this sure reduces hunger and the opportunities to overeat), putting numbers of days on diet and pounds lost on my watchband, and I'm also quite aware that my tendency to succumb to temptation has gone way, way, down. I also am quite adamant about sticking to what works for me, and this approach works well to help me lose weight, and I'm trying to ask myself how I feel in the morning these days-- "GREAT!!!" In '99, '00, and '01 I lost between 40 and 50 pounds on a 100 day diet between Mid-August and the Day before Thanksgiving. It worked well then and I think it will work well this year as well. (I maintained for several years at about 225 but have slowly drifted up again and so have to lose about 50 pounds or so.) I hope everyone has a great day and great success ahead! Yours truly, Caleb |

(Even if it had been higher, I still would not have moved it higher, because I know that if I keep on with my current diet and exercise program, I will lose weight.) Well Hello, Caleb. Long time, no see. I see you're still at the annual 100 day diet. How many years has this been? When are you going to switch sides of the fence and join us who have lost it once and work at maintaining it year round?

Caleb wrote in message ups.com... Day 10 of 100 Days to Thanksgiving 253/246/195 7 pounds are still gone. Congrats! In '99, '00, and '01 I lost between 40 and 50 pounds on a 100 day diet between Mid-August and the Day before Thanksgiving. It worked well then and I think it will work well this year as well. (I maintained for several years at about 225 but have slowly drifted up again and so have to lose about 50 pounds or so.) What will happen if you don't lose 50 pounds by November? What do you plan on doing at the end of this diet? I hope everyone has a great day and great success ahead! Thanks. Best of luck! -- Matthew Slow and steady wins the race. PS: If it really matters, there are 91 days remaining before Thanksgiving (USA). |

He will disappear off the news group only to resurface again next year having regained back the weight, plus some and do it all over again. He does this every year, despite the fact that we all think his a nut case. |

"Caleb" wrote in message ups.com... Day 10 of 100 Days to Thanksgiving 253/246/195 Oh god, look what the cat just puked up. Lets see - where do we start. Do we go back and google Caleb over the past 7yrs of his 100 days of starvation to lose 50lbs, eating his mackeral, his coffee and nondairy creamer and walking his little hill with his ankle weights on only to regain the weight again once Thanksgiving comes around. Caleb is a classic yo-yo dieter statistic. Always starting here in Mid August in the 250lb range with the goal to reaching 200 (still considered obese for his body size), only to leave a few weeks before Thanksgiving and not reaching the goal, and returning the next August at the same weight with the same goals. He bores us with his diatribe of posts that chronicle the minute by minute play of his food (canned mackeral, coffee, non dairy creamer) and walks up his little hill. He'll never learn, and he will always remain obese. And to think, he's also a public official. People actually vote for this guy. I thought this group had gone to the dogs - this is just another downfall. Caleb - why don't you go back to your little yahoo group you started a couple years ago. This place was nice for a couple years when you didn't overrun the group with your nonsense. In the mean time - we could just google his posts from previous years and repost them again - as I'm sure they'd be almost identical. |
