Weekly Weigh-In #2
Starting weight: 215
Previous weight: 210
Current weight: 205.5
(These first pounds are the easy ones, of course. I’ll be astonished if the weight loss continues at this pace.)

YAY! Good job. I have leveled out myself lately, so dont get discouraged when it happens to you.

nearly 10 pounds in 2 weeks is much better than anything I ever managed (at least in the down direction 😉 )

If I remember my experience in the ’70s correctly, larger weight losses are fairly typical at the start of the Carbo-Calorie diet. The weight loss slows to two or three pounds a week — sometimes even less — as the goal draws nearer. But most diets tend to work that way.
Also, these 9.5 pounds were gained just recently, which may explain why they came off so quickly. 203 or 204 should have been my starting point for this diet.
Not that I’m complaining, mind you. It’ll be interesting to see where it goes from here.

When I found out I had cancer, I lost five pounds in one day (the cancer didn’t make me lose the weight, I just drank a lot of water, and didn’t feel like eating much). Our portions are the biggest problem. That, and a lack of exercise.

Sure, it’s gonna slow down some, but this is still damned impressive. You didn’t get there by doing business as usual…

Steve, that is wonderful. Next time you come to LA we won’t recognize you. Just remember to drink a lot of water. It really does help.
Keep up the good work and keep in touch.
