Two pounds per week, that is. [insert evil maniacal laughter] Before photo: http://techmart.com/~cubit/11_2001.jpg Current photo: http://techmart.com/~cubit/Cubit187.jpg Chart: http://techmart.com/~cubit/Chart61.gif Today's chart (above) shows a 2.14 pound per week average. Fitday shows the entire diet from November 2003 to March 2005 at 1.78 pounds per week. My original goal was 165, but I'm now planning on 156. I have lost about 125 pounds, and have about 31 pounds to 156, or 22 pounds to the original 165 goal. My lifetime peak weight was 328 fully dressed on a friend's bathroom scale. Cubit Wow!

If not, I think it will help you overall (it certainly has helped my wife and I.) If so, keep it up. Have a great weekend.

My original goal was 175 pounds (starting weight 248), but I've revised that downwards to 165, as I'm at 177 now and there's no way 2 more pounds is going to make enough of a difference ;-) It will be interesting to see how I feel at 165. How did you select 156? Signature--- Chris Smolinski Black Cat Systems http://www.blackcatsystems.com > How did you select 156? My doctor suggested it, and it sounded like a good number. I can remember being around that weight when I was about 20. I have read in CRON groups that the best life expectancy is with a weight at a BMI of 18. However, in our obese society men who are too slim look like they are ill. I suspect that my lower belly bulge will be hard to remove. There might be a case for dropping to around 137 to presumably remove the bulge, and then regaining weight back up to around 156 to look healthy. Time will tell. > > How did you select 156? > > My doctor suggested it, and it sounded like a good number. I can remember > being around that weight when I was about 20. I can't even remember when I was around 177 ;-) I would have to guess sometime in high school. I was extremely thin up until around 7th grade, when we moved to Maryland from western New York, into a much more rural area with fewer kids to play with. I imagine the decrease in activity led to the weight gain. Plus an increase in eating. My mom says she can remember when I wouldn't come home for lunch because I was too busy playing outside. Surprisingly, I am actually finding that happening today. Well, not the playing outside part, but too busy doing something, and then not realizing until 2 or 3 in the afternoon that I'm hungry. It's nice to let my stomach set mealtime, not the clock. > I have read in CRON groups that the best life expectancy is with a weight at > a BMI of 18. However, in our obese society men who are too slim look like > they are ill. Life expectancy was one of the major reasons I decided to lose weight, and re-start loosing weight after I let my loss lapse. I just keep reminding myself that there are extremely few fat old people. (Old meaning > 90 years old) You don't seem to make it much past your 60s being overweight, if that far. I think that genetics may set a maximum age you can obtain, but what you do to your body can take years off that. > I suspect that my lower belly bulge will be hard to remove. There might be > a case for dropping to around 137 to presumably remove the bulge, and then > regaining weight back up to around 156 to look healthy. That's an interesting idea. You don't think maintaining around 156 would *slowly* cause loss of the belly? I'm having a difficult time visualizing myself at 156, let alone 137. I'm at the point now where I am only thinking ahead around 10 more pounds of loss at a time. It's entirely possible I'll have to end up around 156 as well. When I started at 248, I figured 175 would have to be thin enough. Now I realize 2 more pounds is not going to remove the belly, as well fat from the other areas where too much remains.

Problem is, wouldn't your belly just come back first? Or not go away even at the low weight, so you're a stick insect with a belly?

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Could you expand a bit, Roger? Sure. With a proper weight training routine and a diet designed to put weight on, you can cause the gain of muscle and fat, with the focus on maximizing muscle mass and minimal fat gain. But you will gain some fat. After a while, you switch your focus. You keep training with weights but your goal is now to lose fat (maximize fat loss) while keeping muscle (minimize muscle loss). So you now must restrict calories (LC is good for that) Yeah, you may lose a bit of muscle, but you won't lose all of your muscle gains (unless you employ a retarded training protocal) but you will lose the fat. Hence, the overall weight gain over time will be muscle, not fat. Thus, no big belly. It is the type of routine commonly employed by bodybuilders, but without the extremes they apply (you don't get nearly as big, no drugs, no insane eating, etc.). >>>> I don't know.

Well, I haven't got down to goal weight yet - I'm 5' 7", and goal will be a BMI of 25. There's about 10lb still to go. I now have slim everything except this belly - I've dropped 10 clothes sizes up top, but my waist is still over the obesity limit at 90cm. I weight train 3 nights a week at the moment, with 3 nights cardio (salsa dancing is a new thing : ) plus walking 10,000 steps, and the weight is still going down - but not off my waist! I know adipose tissue is a particular problem for diabetics, although my blood work suggests that's pretty well under control; I'm beginning to think I'm going to have to put up with looking 8 months pregnant... OTOH, maybe a bit of patience would work wonders, never my strong suit... I also think I need one more hike in my thyroxine levels to get to my optimum level, which may also help. Nicky. SignatureA1c 10.5/4.5/<6 Weight 95/77/72Kg 1g Metformin, 87.5ug Thyroxine T2 DX 05/2004 Start thinking about a BMI of 20 if you want to lose the gut. Of course you'll have to eat less.

I tried Fitday for a short time and beat a path back to Diet Sleuth because it is not obsessive or complicated.

Diet Sleuth actually started as a program for my wife, who wanted something easy to use. > It is nice to have had even a slight connection with someone for so > many years on the Internet as see how they helped countless others. > I believe DS has been my weight loss buddy since 1996. > Have you made it available for the PC yet?
