2017 OCT 6 -- Day 48

This time, I didn't lose a full pound as I had hoped, but I'm down almost a pound, and that's good enough. The scale gave me 382.6 lbs today. It's still the weekend, and I have not had to fend off the Pizza Monster. That's fantastic! Any day I don't have to face off against that beast is a good day.

I may have made a mistake in binge-watching My 600-lb Life. And how ironic is it that I am okay to binge on a TV show, but not food? It's probably not any healthier to binge-watch a TV show than it would be to binge on food, but it won't make me fat like a food-binge will.

And here's what today's numbers look like:

Starting weight: 415 lbs
Current weight: 382.6 lbs ⇩ 
Long-term Goal: 145 lbs
Short-term Goal: 359 lbs

Isn't that pretty? Yeah. It is. So far since Day 31 of this month, I have dropped a total of 11.2 lbs, and I have 33.9 lbs to go to reach 359.9 lbs on the scale. I may be able to get there in the next 30-day period if I can keep this pace up. I am on track to be down about 18 lbs this month in total by Day 60. My average rate of weight-loss this month is about .62 lbs. Last month, my average loss per day was .68 lbs.

That's pretty awesome. I had wanted to drop about 20 lbs in this 30-day period, and if I can keep up the rate, I can get pretty close to 20 lbs. I had made a little mistake in my eating, and I paid the price with that terrible graph wobble at the beginning of the month. But I seem to have made it up fairly well. I'm set up to end this 30-day period somewhere in the range of 370 lbs to 379 lbs. I can't even imagine being that weight. I can't weight to see how I will look when I am in the 370-lb range. Unfortunately, with the way I am set up to do things, I will take a new picture when I hit my current short-term goal of 359 lbs, and not a moment sooner. Oh, the torture!

2017 OCT 25 -- Day 67

I don't have much to say today. I thought I had beaten the plateau, but it is still going strong. I'm the same weight today as I was yesterday. This is not fun, but now I sound like a bit of a broken record. I'm not going to say much today, so I'll share a recipe. Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight: 378.2 lbs Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  359 lbs Japanese-style Ginger Salad Dressing This goes well as a coleslaw dressing. I've used it with a mix of classic cabbage slaw and Asian-style broccoli slaw. 1-1/2 C chopped yellow onion 1 C peanut oil 1/2 C rice wine vinegar 1/2 C water 3 tsp fresh ginger root, minced or grated 3-1/2 tsp fresh garlic, minced or grated 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper 4 tbsp lemon juice 4 tsp sugar 4 tsp soy sauce 4 tsp ground mustard 4 tsp sesame seeds Place all ingredients except sesame seeds into a small food processor and pulse for 1 minute, or until desired consistency.  Stir in sesame seeds.

2018 JUN 15 -- Day 65

The weight is coming down. I'm down by 1.4 lbs today from where I was yesterday. It still doesn't make up for the 9 lbs in total that I gained from just one weekend of eating, but it is going to take some time to get that back off. I really want it to come off as quickly as it came on, but we all know that will probably not happen. If I want something, that's the surest way to make sure it doesn't happen! LOL Starting weight:  401 lbs Current weight:  356.6  lbs   ⇩ Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  325 lbs I have been watching videos on YouTube about how people are shedding their pounds, and it is all very counter-intuitive to what I have learned from Doctors Fung and Berg. But it appears to have worked for these YouTubers, so who am I to judge or criticize what they have chosen to do? A lot of it is a variation on either the eat less; move more (ELMM) theory, or the calories in, calories out  (CICO) theory. I hope for their sak...

2017 AUG 30 -- Day 11

I weighed myself before work again tonight. I like these lower numbers. I'm pretty sure this is due to not eating during sleep for at least 6 hours. Whatever the case, I'll take it! Yay! Low number! Starting weight:  415 lbs Current weight:  406.4 lbs  ⇩  Long-term Goal:  145 lbs Short-term Goal:  399 lbs I'm at work. It's 10:30 PM. I've been feeling the hungry growly monster in my tummy, but I've been ignoring him... until now. I'm eating my sandwich. According to the book, you are only supposed to feel hungry when you're body is below its set-point. Is my set point higher than 406.4 lbs? Wow! I need to find out how to lower that a lot faster. How can I make it 145 lbs? LOL. I know the answer to this. It gradually becomes lower over time; I must be patient. The trend is still downward on the whole, but right now it is still well above the first measurement I took at 404.8 the day I got my scale. It's going down, and I saw 406.4 lbs today ...
