My own little diet thread!

Iolaus,

Keep up the good work, you're doing well! Breyer's makes some great low-carb ice cream, the flavors are limited, but it is a great treat.

I'm still working on losing the 8-10 lbs I gained over the holidays, I have lost about 3 pounds of it, still have a few more pounds to go.

Yeah, it's a great treat, but for me, it has unintended consequenses. I could eat a quart of regular ice cream with no ill effect, but just a bowl of that stuff gives me the farts something fierce!!! I don't know what the problem was, but that ice cream and I did not work well together!

There was a lo-carb chocolate covered ice cream bar that I could eat safely, I'll have to try and remember what it was.

ice cream and gas...ah, yes, you're an adult now. There comes a point where our bodies don't make as much lactase as we used to, and when we don't digest it, our intestinal flora DOES.

OK. Enough of my mollygagging, or hobbymolling, or mockiwalling, or whatever it is. I'm joining this thread. I actually started yesterday, but today I'm going public with it.

Starting weight = 255 plus or minus a few on any given day
Goal weight = 215

Target time? Mid- July (in time for backpacking)

I'll post in here on a weekly basis, if you're up for it Iolaus... What say?

Naw, give me a pint of Haggen Das, and it's gone! - No problems. It's something about the diet ice cream.

Sure, join in; I was going to post week-end updates anyway.

I'm happy to say that I'm now down to 210! I can't wait to get back below 200 lbs. I know it will mean either getting a lot of kilts altered or getting a lot of new kilts, but I'd really love to get back down into the 160 to 170 range. I won't be as skinny as in my fire department days, but at least it'll be somewhat closer to my ideal weight.

A little late, but here's the up-date.

I weighed in this morning at the low end of 232-ish, and have for the past couple of mornings - no fluctuation back up; I think that means I'm on the down slope (I hope ).
