I weigh about 13 lbs less than I thought I would.

The break up with your spouse and move far away and deal with family gobbilty gook diet works!

Going to switch up the plan a bit now with the "bulletproof coffee meat and martini" low carb plan going into the new year.


I have some halloween and xmas candy still floating around that I think I need to give to the neighbors. I'm not wanting to touch it but it will just go bad/old otherwise. Seems a waste not to share those calories with someone who can enjoy them.

    I've always been lucky as if I gained 10 lbs my body seemed to self regulate - I'd lose my appetite and the weight would quickly be gone. Doesn't seem to be working now! Guess I'm going to have to do a real diet thingie in January to lose 15-20 lbs. Bummer.

    Jill - you reminded me that a split up or divorce always caused me to lose weight. Hmmm - I wonder...oh nevermind.

    Doesn't seem worth it to start a relationship now just to end it so I can lose weight. Guess your diet won't work for me

      Gotta love butter in your coffee if it's bullet proof.

      I lost a lot back in 2007 (74 lbs?) but it was probably a tad too much. Took about 5 months. I was extreme on the plan and walking every day about 3 miles.

      Had kicked back into diet mode the beginning of this year and was doing ok for a while until I got too busy with other things and lost my focus. Had to cook for someone else too which is annoying.

      But now I'm single again and need to clean myself up a bit. I clean up nice.

      I probably would have maintained just fine if I'd kept up the walking. Too much of a foodie to ever go total lc forever.

            I never really diet.

            I keep my body fat between 10% and 13% year round. I'm not competing so I'm cool being pudgy. When April hits I drop to single digits for summer of between 8% and 9%.

            But, I've been a natural bodybuilder for decades. I'll be 52 on Jan 6th.

            If I notice I'm getting to smooth looking then I'll cut the raisins out of my plain oatmeal and remove my banana snack 1 hour before my 3rd feeding at about 1pm, which I have to go to in 2 minutes.

            I only make slight adjustments. I eat super clean all year round. You don't have to get into shape if you don't get out of shape first.

            Consistency is the key.

              I figure you gotta homogenize.

              Trouble starts when your 10-13% fat hangs offa the one place.

              Mosta mine is stored in my brain where no one can see it.

                  Yes, almost got the Xmas flu, but thankfully l have been flaking out enough lately.

                  If you stress out and go on a holiday odd's on you will get it, so l tend to do a bit of work, but balance that with cleaning things up for the new year onslaught.

                      Joe Mobley
                      Just hopped on the scale again after talking with a friend.

                      Yep, uh huh.

                      Down 2 more pounds already!

                      Starting to think about going out for New Years Eve.

                      Been a really long time since I've been out. Even longer for being out and single.

                      Close friends have been telling me to go out. Since like 2 months ago already.

                      Facing some internal struggles now.

                      Part of me says "Go for it Moxie!" - Moxie is my new name for my 'bad evil alter ego' side.

                      Part of me says, "Jill, you missed the boat. Suck it up and do what you always do on New Years Eve which is stay home and out of trouble and just go to sleep by 10pm. You will wake up safe at home and ready for what the New Year brings!"

                      Hmmm. Feeling a bit paralyzed. My actual actions of what I do for this New Years Eve could be a make or break of my actions and attitudes for the whole next year.

                      I don't want to drive anywhere and the place I'm thinking to go to is just a mile walk up the road. I'd be swinging it solo as I have no close friends where I am right now. I really don't know anyone here.

                      Hmmm. Again, Hmmm.

                      Ok, lets run a survey.

                      Sure! Here it is:

                      Should Jill or um 'Moxie' go out on New Years Eve? | My random test site for themes, plugins, and more!

                              Yep, that's your sub-consciousness mind trying to protect you. There are times to listen to that, this is not one of them.


                              Hmmm. Feeling a bit paralyzed.
                              That's the feeling you get when you are new to challenging your comfort zones.

                              My actual actions of what I do for this New Years Eve could be a make or break of my actions and attitudes for the whole next year.
                              Probably your reactions to this might influence your attitudes for a bit, but let's see what we can do...


                              "Rig the game so you can win it."

                              I would be thinking:

                              "How can I look at this situation in the best possible light?"

                              "What would or could be the upsides of going?"

                              I probably would enjoy myself.

                              It would give me an opportunity to expand my comfort zone a bit.

                              It will give me an opportunity to exercise a little bit of courage.

                              I could practice my people skills with little downside.

                              You get the idea.


                              So, my goal would be to go out and enjoy myself and enjoy the personal challenge.

                              (Easy goal, easy game to win.)

                              Yes, you should go. You will be proud of your self on New Years day.

                              Have fun. Contact me if you need to. I'll be at the Snuggery... without a date.

                                Jus' a thought for any of you with older scales with a needle dial.

                                There is a trick you can play like settin' your alarm early to make extra time.

                                If you set the scales on the floor, angled some way to the right, then the dial will not reach as far an' you can pretend to be lighter than you are till you can figure how to stop stuffin' yourself stoopid.

                                      Well, wake up with a hangover at least. Not sure I ever vow not to do it again.

                                      So now I'm actually getting some things done today and thinking that going out is not going to be so productive. I'm thinking to just have a party for one here at the house and get some work done into the evening.

                                      Although there are 2 votes telling me to go out.

                                        Going out on New Years Eve is not about being productive. It's about relaxing and having fun.

                                        Get your butt out of the house. Be productive another time.

                                    But you don't look that big in those book pics.

                                    Then again, I was with a big guy who was over 6 foot and teetering in the 300 range.

                                    Could be I now think that's the norm.
                                    Jill; I don't know how to break this to you...those pictures were taken...in the past.

                                    And I am bigger than those photos...because I'm a living human being, and they are small book covers.

                                    I hover around 270. I think I would be comfortable around 220. And my lovely wife would be more comfortable...if I were at 220 too.

                                        First, that made me cry.

                                        Second, "a high note"? I assumed after your hysterectomy (where they remove your history) everything you said would be with a high note.

                                        I hope you have a great year. And I hope someone punches Kurt in the nose, so I'll have a great year too.

                                          That's probably her being selfish.

                                          Clothing size drops when you lose weight meaning you can get more in one wash load.

                                          You losing weight just means less laundry for her to have to do.

                                          Means less food she needs to cook.

                                          Means you might be around longer to support her habits - what ever those are.

                                          You have to think Claude - what's in it for her?

                                          Of course she'd be more comfortable.

                                            Jill; I was actually thinking she would be more comfortable when, while I'm sleeping, I roll over on top of her.


                                            And....if I lost the weight, she might want to have sex with me...which means more laundry.

                                            And she doesn't wash my clothes, after I wear them. The city makes us burn them. I assume that's pretty common, right?

                                              Well, I didn't make it out last night.

                                              I decided to rest my eyes before hopping into the shower and didn't wake up until 12:30 to the sound of fireworks in the neighborhood.

                                              Going out now to find the blackeyed peas solution. After that it's back to no carbs.

                                  Ok, I just realized I totally forgot about something.

                                  Having a southern mother, and now being in the south for this new years, I am neglecting the tradition of the black eyed peas.

                                  Why do we eat black eyed peas for New Year’s? | FOX2now.com

                                  Gonna hop in the shower and on a mission to find my black eyed peas with some collard greens and cornbread!

                                  I need a prosperous New Year....

                                    From the beginning of 2015 til now I've lost around 50 pounds.

                                    All I did was change my eating habits. I no longer eat at regulated meal times. If I am hungry I eat, if I'm not hungry I don't. And I define 'hungry' as exactly that, not just thinking it's maybe time to feed my face.

                                    I also only eat non-GMO, certified organic food.

                                    Why did I decide to do this? Because I had progressed from being gluten sensitive to full blown celiac disease and I had come to the conclusion that enough was enough. I wasn't going to consume any more of the chemical enhanced crap. Neither am I going to spend the rest of my life a slave to the pharmaceutical companies.

                                      Just out of curiosity, are you familiar with Dr Wallach of "Dead Doctor's Don't Lie" fame?

                                      I hear his radio show sometimes on weekends and he ties a lot of rather serious health issues
                                      into gluten, and also getting proper amounts of trace minerals/hydration.

                                        No, I've never heard of Dr Wallach. However, I'm off right now to Google and research him. Thanks for the reference.

                                        I think I see an opportunity to Flâneur.


                                        Flâneur:

                                        Try something different.
                                        Do something different.
                                        Be something different.

                            I'd love to take credit for that, but my conscience won't allow it. I forget from whom I stole that, but it was the same person that says, "Whenever I go to the zoo, I need to purchase two tickets. One to get in and one to get out."

                        Down 2 more pounds already!

                        Starting to think about going out for New Years Eve.

                        Been a really long time since I've been out. Even longer for being out and single.

                        Close friends have been telling me to go out. Since like 2 months ago already.

                        Facing some internal struggles now.

                        Part of me says "Go for it Moxie!" - Moxie is my new name for my 'bad evil alter ego' side.

                        Part of me says, "Jill, you missed the boat. Suck it up and do what you always do on New Years Eve which is stay home and out of trouble and just go to sleep by 10pm. You will wake up safe at home and ready for what the New Year brings!"

                        Hmmm. Feeling a bit paralyzed. My actual actions of what I do for this New Years Eve could be a make or break of my actions and attitudes for the whole next year.

                        I don't want to drive anywhere and the place I'm thinking to go to is just a mile walk up the road. I'd be swinging it solo as I have no close friends where I am right now. I really don't know anyone here.

                        Hmmm. Again, Hmmm.

                        Ok, lets run a survey.

                        Sure! Here it is:

    Once I got to the weight I wanted, I found that abuse of the diet ( ) had minimal downside effects..


    Single again? Hmm...

    Catch some air as it swooshes from 2015 to 2016.

    You can still make it home later for relaxo.

    Whatever you choose, have a cool time.

    Oooh ooh - you inspired another superheroine.

    Mebbe I should strike out as Silk Woman.

    At 11.59pm every night she incinerates her underwear with a flamethrower, releasin' clouds of vapor into the atmosphere.

    Then, she must sleep inside her cocoon, weavin' the next day's skimpos from excess fluids secreted by her superhuman cerebellum.

    She senses the world's global warmin' plight, an' knows instinctively what molecules are required to help the planet survive.

    Durin' the night, consdensed molecular forms grow outta her body in silkily immodest underwear combinations.

    Worn casually beneath her duck suit (cos I figure her alter ego got a day job doin' promo work in a store), her underwear heralds the world's salvation in pre-oxidized form.

    All she gotta do is bloom from brain to silky to flames.

    Yeah - this is way cooler than Fart Girl.

      Somewhere buried deep in a storage unit in a land where Big Foot has been spotted and statues erected of him, is a tape of a radio program I created while in broadcast school.

      On this tape is the story of Sugar Plum Bob.

      Sugar Plum Bob is a super hero, and his special power is that he can see through underwear. I myself played the role of Wonder Bra, and we fought crime against the Evil Curley Cue - who would hide big guns and bombs and bad things in his underwear.

      Like any evil villian, his two sidekicks were Lip and Stick.

      I went through the trouble to even have a professionally recorded song about Sugar Plum Bob (which I sang).

      It will be a true miracle if I can find that tape, and a much bigger one if it still plays.

          Some do ok with the low cal thing.

          I am an avid low carber myself - well when I'm looking to actually lose.

          Fat is your friend.

          But eventually I get to a point where I really want some great waffles with loads of real maple syrup to just soak them in.

          This time when I get to that goal weight I will really have to take some time to figure out how to manage those indulgences without putting it all gradually back on again.

          btw, down another lb! would have been more but that new years thing did cause some havoc.
