That question everyone hates to hear as they get closer...

You know that question that everyone hates to hear as they get closer to goal... You know, "When are you going to stop losing?... You don't need to lose any more."

It is funny, Last night I asked Joelie when she thought I would hear those words that she has heard many times. She said soon. You look great and many people would say that. Today I had someone say that to me. I did ...

I'm baa-aaack!

Hey everyone! I have been on holiday hiatus for the last 4 months or so. I wasn't too naughty, and I medifasted a couple days a week throughout, so I only gained back 5 lbs of the 40 I had lost before. So I'm restarting. Might as well join the crowd! I'm at 168 now and I need to get to 140, or there abouts. I will know better when I get there. I just ...

What are the rules for the full fast? I was thinking about trying it for a few days (with my doctor's monitoring, of course) to see if I can get past this plateu I have been on for almost 2 weeks.

Will I ever stop thinking of myself as fat??

Will I ever stop thinking of myself as fat?

So far I have lost over 95 pounds and with about 30 left to goal, I am still overweight but not morbidly obese anymore. When I see myself in a reflective surface, I know I “look” pretty normal now, especially for most Americans. I am fitting in regular sized clothing (because of the darn clothing manufacturers, I range from a size 10 to a baggy 14.) ...

Chicken with Wild Rice Soup

Has anyone had a problem with this product lately? I really liked it last year, but this year it seems that every packet I open only has the hard stuff in it...nothing to make it brothy at all. Absolutely no powder. Did they change the formula or something?

Numbness/Soreness in My Left Arm

Your LEFT arm you say - Yikes!

Well, seems like my heart and blood pressure are just dandy so no big worries about the ole ticker.

Yesterday evening I started feeling soreness in my left forearm. During the evening it spread upwards to my elbow and finally all the way to my upper arm.

I know I really should have gone to see someone right away but I didn't have shortness of breath or a ...

Is exercise slowing my weight loss?

First, I should explain my progress so far. I started on July 31, 2006 and have lost ~97 pounds since that date. The first 84-85 came off really quickly, as I specifically remember going to the Orange Bowl on January 2 being down about 84 pounds. As far as exercise goes, I had been riding a stationary bike for 20-25 minutes (for approximately 5-6 miles per session) three to four times per week. I started ...
