second that.

just think about the folks who lived back some thousand years. what did
they had?

just eat a little less meat, much more fruit and veggies, some nuts, no (!)
junk food, maybe a little bit of vitamines (C,E) plus fishoil (omega 3).
eat about 1 kilo of fruit per day (this is about 4 apples).

plus: drink at least 1 liter of water per day. I put 1 bottle of water
(sparkling) per day to my desk. And add the amount of coffee or black/green
tee you drink to the 1 liter of water.

you sure can eat ice or candies ... just reduce the amount.

Want to speed up the process? Take a 30 min. walk every day.

at least 2 times per week for 20 minutes or so. Use the stairs for 1 or 2
floors.

In short -- be sensible and don't try anything drastic.

agreed!

AND: watch this great film: "supersize me!"

You remind me of a "greeting" card I saw years ago. On the front it
asked, "Like to lose 20 ugly pounds?"

Inside, it said, "Cut off your head!"

How about the divorce announcement "I lost 200 pounds of useless flab?"

Plenty of "ice" around here in Minnesota. I just hope they don't catch me
licking the local skating rink on my walks past the park. g

Is ice European for sweets?

I've missed this movie. I've read a lot about it. When I first heard about a
guy eating at McDonald's for every meal I thought .....and? BTDT. :-)

European? there is no such language :-)

ice for icecream
sweets: candies or sweeties. well, maybe there is something lost in
translation.

Alcoholic beverages also put on pounds.

Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to
your slightly older self.

Atkins worked for me. No carbs, no sugar. Eat anything else you want
in any quantity. Took 7% off my total take off weight in 6 months.
Would take a lot of carbon fiber and Titanium to equal that. First 2
weeks were kind of hard. No sugar drinks were my particular challenge.

Blood pressure is way down, as is the cholesterol level. I now cheat
on weekends with no adverse effects.

Same calorie diet but with carbs and at the same activity level, will
add pounds. My brother had similar results. We just all seem to be a
bit different in the way we metabolize food.

A year ago it was hanging out in the library for Internet access...now
it's licking the skating rink (for dietary purposes, of course). I'm
not sure I want to know what's next :-)

Steak & Shake?

Mmm ...Arby's
You mean their plastic "roast beef"? Never did understand that. Around
here, Arby's have been falling off the planet. No loss.

My wife had great success with the Atkins diet some years back. The first few
weeks aren't a lot of fun.

Black Cow was their rootbeer flavored shake. Nummy. I worket at Arby's my
senior year back in 1978.

Coupons are key to Arby's. Their new Reuben sandwich is pretty good. Not as
good as Friar Tuck's though!!!

I think he's down to about 175 ...eating fruit.

Yep, you just need to emulate Jay ... well at least his eating habits!
:-)

Hey!

Actually, I've crept back up to 180 since Thanksgiving -- thanks, in part,
to none other than Montblack himself, who (along with Mrs. Montblack)
stuffed me full of all sorts of yummy and delicious non-fruit type foods
during our visit. :-)

That was a FOUR pound gain in THREE days. I kid you not. (Note: Montblack
DID put out bananas, which I dutifully ignored, diving straight into the
M&Ms and egg nog instead...)

I'll be back on "the horse" (or, shall I say, the "apple") tomorrow... And
I'm still waaaay down from 200.
