About this Blog

So many people wish they could lose weight. This blog is an attempt to put together something to share about my experience. I started January of 2012 at 232 lbs and I had been trying to lose weight, probably shaving 5 lbs off my maximum, which would have been closer to 235. My last measurement showed a mere 160.4 lbs. The means over the last year I would have lost 75 lbs. In the picture from the summer of 2012 I weigh 175. I would love to get down to the 150 to 155 range over the next year. Why so slim? Mostly because if its worth doing its worth doing well. But also because arteriosclerosis runs thick in my family and if I can live at an ideal weight of course I should. I'm also fully content to live life at 160 if that's how it is to be, but I think its worth a try. This blog lets you join the adventure!

The main thing was I just decided I'm in charge of my own weight. Policitians and actors do it. Why not me? Do I just did. No hocus-pocus. No hormones or any kind of pill. No extreme behavior, diets or fasting. No worries about mysterious toxins. Just a series of straight-up, science-based strategies.

That why I think I have something to share. I can weigh whatever I want. Although I take what I know from science, I don't have access to scholarly libraries or time to do full scholarship on what I put here. I don't claim to have all the science right. If you know something I should know, add in a comment. This blog is a work in progress, I will keep editing the pages as I get ideas, insight and feedback.

All my best -- Rob

 

 

Results

This is my raw data on a graph. It shows my weight on each day averaged with 3 days prior.







You can see I’m driving myself like a drunk driver trying to stay between the black and red lines. That’s because it takes so long to see the feedback to correct myself. You can see my net loss trending upward. I get lighter I need less calories. There’s more to the rhythm of it. Perhaps it has to do with bowel movements. In any case you can see that I was able to raise and lower my weight loss rate with about a week to see the problem, respond and see results. Not the greatest, but it will still work.
