Re: "Today (Friday) was diet day 61, two full months, and I'm down 24 lbs. The goal is 25 lbs though, and it feels like I'm stuck."

It took 62 days, but my goal has been met. As of today (Saturday night) I've lost 25 lbs.

I'm staying on the diet until July 4th - when I'll take a week off. Then I'll go on it again, but with meat and occasional cheating. My plan is to keep losing weight, but differently. I don't think the drastic dieting I've been doing is particularly safe even though it's surprisingly easy (I haven't been hungry.)

No more updates from me on this until July 3 when I'll post the final result from 81 days of low carb / very low calorie dieting without exercising.

BTW, thank you CTJ for the recipes posted to FOOD.
#board-553 I'm looking forward to trying them.

I tried to warn ya, De.
Your body has what it thinks it is supposed to weigh. And if one tries to lose to much weight too fast, the body will say "Now wait a minute - I'm not supposed to be this light!" And it will conserve as much energy as it can in at attempt to NOT lose any more 'resources'. (Fat is a resource.)

I think ya gotta kinda sneak up on it. Lose a little at a time . . . Give the body time to adjust. Time for it to decide "I like being lighter."

I think it took me five months to lose close to thirty pounds . . . Then it took over three years to gain it back. (Christmas time is the WORST!)

Zim.
