Another diet milestone

Sep 21, 2006 09:52

258.2. I've broken 260 after 72 days on the diet; that comes to about half a pound a day. Less than 60 pounds to go.

I am happy.

You are doing so well, I am really proud of you. The only thing that worries me is that this diet seems somehow...short term. I'm worried that if you stop it, you'll put weight on again.

Are you exercising as well as dieting? Exercise might speed the weight loss up even more.

The diet is working awfully fast, it's true. But I've had a couple of weeks of being ridiculously bad. For example, one week, in addition to cake and ice cream almost every day, I had an all-inclusive dinner at a local restaurant - not once, but twice.

What did it include? Meatloaf, mashed potatoes with gravy, rolls with butter, a large coke, coffee with lots of sugar and cream, and an ENORMOUS slice of chocolate cake. The second time, I had a hot fudge brownie ice cream sundae with whipped cream, and the whole thing filled a dish the size of Sebastian's head.

I mean, I was just berserkAnd despite that, I didn't gain anything. I ended up...let me see ( ... )

Umm... How tall are you again?

5'11", roughly. I seem to vary between 5'11" & 3/4 of an inch, and perhaps 5'10" & 1/2. But as far as body frames go, I'm pretty massive; I was a defensive linebacker in junior high, and have enormous shoulders and an enormous head. I wear size 13 shoes, too.

Why?

Well, if you're losing just under another 60 lb... That will bring you to about 200lb, right? Now, if my brain can still do Imperial to metric conversion right, that'll put you at umm.. 90kilos?

Now apart from the fact that's the sort of weight I'd prefer to have (I'm the same height as you), but the description of your frame and shoe size it may even be somewhat underweight.

I'll have my annual physical on the 26th, and I plan to ask my doctor then what my target weight should be.

According to all the charts, the MOST I should weight at my height is 188. And that's from the "large frame" column of the charts, too!

Ya know, if you continue losing weight at that rate for another couple of years or so you'll be weightless! :)
