DONE. 148lbs the past few weeks, wanted to lose 20 and lost 42. I guess I was a sterotypical fat American. To be fair I weighed 164 in February 1977 after basic training for the USAF.

good for you!

I had the nice experience of ordering a bikini in my "usual" size from Boden and it was too big!

Would anyone be interested in reading an article written by one of my favourite docs (oncologist for NIH previously) about sugar/glucose and cancer? i don't want to bore anyone but it makes very interesting reading.

If you want to post I would probably read it. On the low carb issue, I'm not going as low as most low carbers seem to but lowering them has certainly helped.

I got a spiralizer since the issue was last discussed on BE and have been having fun making vegetable noodles.

Yes please, PF. I find the whole area of carbs vs disease very interesting, ever since my asthma entirely and permanently disappeared during a couple of months of low carbing in 2010.

Congrats! I lost 10lb in two months and am now at goal weight too though haven't gone below.

And congrats on such great progress, Beaverstate. I'm almost inspired to shut down the computer and go and jog a little on the hotel treadmill... almost...

Mrs D since we last spoke about magnesium I have changed over to magnesium citrate and it is way better for my insides. I now take a v good quality multi-vitamin, vitD and magnesium every day.

I had lost 15 pounds over the summer when I got back into biking. I put it all pretty much back on in the last couple of weeks during our road trip and eating out every day with practically no exercise except the 5 miles of walking around The Mall of America...my word that place is huge.

I lost weight then gained it back. No super overweight, maybe 15 pounds if that, so not too worried. I am working more on reducing my addiction to sugar and sweets more then anything at the moment... Sugar addiction is hard to come off cold turkey..lol

Good for you!
