I’ve been aggressively low-carbing and appetite-suppressing since mid-January, and it has been working. I’m down about four or five notches on my belt, about 1% or 2% body-fat, and my weight is down 8 pounds from my high of 190, and my average weight (the “center point” around which it seems to fluctuate during the week) is down 5 pounds from 188.
Oh, and the cholesterol test I took on Wednesday came back at 160.
I’m feeling great.
Last night I ate out at Bangkok Grill in Orem (800 S State, on the east side of State and the south side of 800 — you REALLY need to eat there if you haven’t) with a bunch of local pros and friends. My stomach seems to be smaller than it used to be. I overate, yes (it’s still quite hard not to) but I hit the “I have overeaten” feeling far, far sooner than usual.
My goal: By the time any of you non-Utah folk actually see me again (WorldCon in August, Self-Syndication Seminar in September) I want to weigh in at a trim-no-wait-that’s-actually-svelte 160.
I’m dieting, too. I’m glad that ur doing well. I’m down eight pounds, and i’m just calorie and carb counting.

Great work. I’ve definitely found the same thing on low-carb (I’m on Atkins) I satisfied with much smaller meals. Makes me wonder how distorted our idea of a “normal” portion of anything is any more.
Excellent cholesterol result there.

You should get Wii fit. While not quite as effective as a gym it does have a couple of advantages. 1 it has a daily weigh in, it does keep you conscious of how you are doing with your weight. The other and biggest thing is how it tracks your center of balance. It is amazing how inadequate one feels at breathing when the game calls you imbalanced.
Again not the greatest workout, but still fun, handy, challenging, and if I might say surprisingly effective. And give you an new appreciation of yoga.

I was wondering if you could detail this diet, as I really need to look into methods of weight loss. This 30+ pounds over normal isn’t cutting it any more.
I’ll write it up at some point, yes.
Oh thank you, good sir…

Right now I have to resist the urge to break out the scale and then hold a pity party when I come in 26-30 pounds above my optimum 150. That is better than I was doing, but when you depend on a wheelchair getting rid of those pounds is not as easy.
