Losing weight is Simple!

[rangerpretzel]

No seriously. Losing weight isn't that hard. Since December of 2005 I've lost a little over 20 pounds and the weight continues to come off at around 1 lbs/week. By the time Burning Man roles around, I should be another 10 to 15 pounds lighter

I like this, a lot. In fact, I'm going to share your post with freakydimension. He and I are both trying to lose about the same amount of weight (50 lbs) and so we're faced with quite a road ahead.

I like that this approach (like some of my other favorites, including but not limited to The No S Diet) says nothing about WHAT to eat, only that you SHOULD eat, and eat LESS.

There is a mental-emotional component to this as well, but that wasn't necessary to the spirit of your post. For me, the emotional aspect of being "Fat" and also the prospect of losing weight added to my already annoyingly fucked up relationship with food has keep me from being able to properly tackle the mechanics of weight loss. Now that I'm at a point in my life where I've made a lot of peace with food and done a lot of thinking/resolving in my own mind, I'm much more ready to deal with the calories in/calories out part.

I've acually lost somewhere between 10 and 13 pounds since getting to California. I've been here eighteen weeks, so that works out about right. With a few changes I suspect that could be greatly accelerated.

Thanks for the motivation! Burn on ;)
