May 6, 2003:
started at 245. It actually could have been more. I couldn't bring myself to weigh myself.


today:
164.2



I had a stall from about mid nov at about 180 to mid march where I was still 175. Since then, I've lost about 10 pounds in that 6-7 weeks.

Morals of the story:

when you plateau or stall out, #1 give it time and #2 go back to the basics, which for me is measuring and logging my foods (I need to be better about this), exercise and cut out the fake 'low carb foods'.

I am still at very low carb rates (like 20-30), but feel the need to add them in, especially before I work out. And if I want to, I eat carbs -- good carbs - salads, nuts, veggies, even LC bread. Fruit too!! Whenever I want, which is maybe once a week. I know I can't go overboard, but if I want a treat, I have it from natural food sources, adn I figure that's ok.

I know I have to crack down and cut out the booze and log my food to get the last 20 pounds off. And I need to start raising my carbs too, I think.

y'all have a nice day! I will!!

I didn't take measurements from the first day but here's some I did take
