October 8th, 2004: 240 lbs.
November 2nd, 2004: 222 lbs.
December 1st, 2004: 217 lbs.
December 30th, 2004 (counting as my January, since I was near a medical-grade balance scale) : 215 lbs.
Not bad, considering that's weight lost over Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas and their various leftovers periods.
It's the chocolate I realy can't escape. Mmmmm, chocolate . . . .
Still, not bad. I'm going to try for 200 lbs.
What was my program? Unfortunately, you can tweak it any way you like with this nutrient and that, this kind of exercise and that, but in the final analysis you have to eat less than will sustain life. This is painful, your body tries to force you to stop doing it, but there's no way around it. Eat less than will sustain life, and stop before you do yourself a serious injury.
For some reason, climbing all those steps to the lookout every day doesn't seem to have any effect on the process.
Also, check out the zine at the link above and here. Not that it has anything to do with my weight, I just think it's cool.

wow, john. you lost nearly 20lbs in less than a month (the first month). a starvation diet seems an incredibly aggressive plan, but it seems to be working for you for now. keep us posted, and best of luck.
