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?"

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.

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

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.

Hey, now. If you're gonna start swearing, I'm leaving.

The wife and I ride bikes to the store whenever possible unless what we're
getting is too big to carry (the closest is 5 miles away).

I think Jay said he was going to start doing this too. I wonder how that
went?

We had the coldest early December in Iowa history.

The bike idea was relegated to the "nice try" ash heap of history, at least
until spring.

Most
companies on the markets are happy to deal with individual customers in
small amounts, a large part of their business can be with small
restaurants
who buy daily so they are used to putting together custom orders, just be
willing to buy full boxes of each product.

Wow, that's a great idea. I'm sick of paying outrageous grocery prices for
mediocre fruit.

Any idea how can I find out the location of my closest fruit wholesaler?

From last April to November... down about 20 pounds (US), 3 inches off the
waist, BP is down, as is the borderline high blood sugar... I see my doc
again in a couple of months... first time he'll see the results..

Way to go!

I hope your doctor's nurse gives you as great an "attaboy!" as mine did,
when she took my weight.

I got a diet plan for you Montblack! It is the plan that my wife uses,
it's called The Monk Diet.

My wife's on The Monk Diet and she's looking great.

The Monk Diet works like this ~ we go out, she orders appetizer and
salads, main meal, desert and her drink of choice. I do the same for
myself.

The trick to The Monk Diet is in the execution.
First I eat both of our appetizers and salads (mine's got an extra
helping of dressing), she might have had a chance to take one bite out
of hers. She sips on her strawberry daiquiri while I down my pina
colada.

Second we start on our main course where I quickly consume mine and
help her with half of hers. I finish up my pina colada and drink the
rest of her daiquiri. I order one more daiquiri and she gets a glass
of rose'.

Third we start on the deserts, I quickly down my apetiser and proceed
to help her with 75% of her apetiser. I drink two or three more fruity
drinks, and sips at least half of all her drinks.

Forth I order one more desert.

So far it's worked out great, she's only maybe five-ten lbs. over
weight. This plans hasn't worked out too well for me, I'm about forty
over :^)
