@hjstewart40 Please, what video? I find so many Jason Fung videos. Eventually I want to watch them all. But if you could point me to this one? Thank you.

Upgrading the quality of food you eat. I'm interested in what you have done! I am trying to develop a strategy, a life style, a sense of whether I am going to emphasize veggies, or protein - fish. I'm 76 right now. I know that I need to lose weight - at least another 20#, but after that I am most interested in avoiding…

Your chart helps me a lot. Helps me see how erratic I am! Helps me see what the effects of a long fast are. But mostly, it's your total loss of 130# in 36 weeks that absolutely astonishes me! 3.6#/wk without fail, consistently. Dedicated. Congratulations. I admire what you do.

Hmm, hmm, shake things up. I'm going to go watch that Fung video.

With all that you do, you are going to be as skinny as a rail. And the kids get better, at least they did for me.

Just wanted to check in again and tell you I greatly admire what you do.

I like the idea of really dark chocolate for smores. Maybe, just maybe, roasting the marshmallow is part of the smores process that can't be skipped. Getting that golden brown toasted look all around. Sitting around the fire and bonding with others. Maybe the key is (a) spend a lot of time roasting marshmallows to…

Yep, yep, yep. Great pic! Where I want to be - no stomach, no handlebars. Encourages me to keep on.

I appreciate your anecdotes about running - how you have increased your times and distances with consistent effort. Especially appreciate hearing this, because I am trying to do the same with walking - for my knees.

Here's what I want to hear: my dinner companions were awesome!

That's wonderful. Better than 2#/wk. You are doing a great job!

I'm going to steal some of these tactics!

:'( I just read the instructions for my 'procedure' next Thursday. Can't eat this, can't eat that. Almost everything I normally eat (healthful food) is off-limits for the next 5 days. :'( The OK stuff looks like junk food to me: Jello, Sprite, .... There's only 1 remedy. Use the days for fasting. I'm going to fast for two…

@mistymeadows2005 I'll trade - my travel restraint for your home restraint. Problem for me is home is every day, travel not very often. So many more possible days for sabotaging myself.

I think you must be a good cook. Bone broth! Anyway, I'm going to copy that salad.

Good news on the lumps, even better news on maintaining your weight, and best news of all on Annie, her projects and the new guy! Life is good.

Oh, I've missed so much in my life! Not with it, as you can see.

Great meal. That soup and salad look so yum to me.

Your report on a weight gain for 1500 calories really, really surprises me. It wouldn't surprise me if I were the subject. But a guy?? Wow, our bodies, metabolism in general, still full of surprises.

Woohoo! Goals neatly in hand and sure to be met. I do hope your pb addiction is gone. I overcame mine by not allowing it in the house for months. Now it can be around and nothing happens. Addiction gone. Same for popcorn. Low carb smores? What are those? Tell us what you find, what you dream up. I passed on the smores at…

I enjoy reading your daily report. The amount of exercise and work you do is inspiring.

Great to hear this!! Happy vacation.

Woohoo - another tall one! Same height as I am, if I'm honest. That's the height my dr now measures - although I spent most of my life as a 6-footer, and tell everyone that's where I stand. (Dr says I've shrunk with age. Fooey I say.) I started just under 250 (237), and now am in the upper 180's. I would agree with your…

I greatly admire your lifting and workout program. Don't let 2# worry you. As others have said, probably water weight. I'd just like to say congratulations for your dedication to your health. I think you are doing a fantastic job.

It's the unsolved mysteries bit that has me wondering. I'm going to be wondering all day as I clean the fridge.

You have my attention. You also say, "Finished 2sets of 15day fit body challenge - around 40mins.." Great job! Please keep up your reports. Yes, indeed I wish you luck!

Great report Brenda. Liking your JUDDD and your walk without hip popping. Also, best of all, I like that you were with your grandson. (Like it a lot, because I'm not allowed to see mine. :'( )

I admire this greatly. Huge admiration, because I am trying to get to the same place (for health, not for dieting), and right now I find a 2-day fast is my limit, not yet conquered. Congratulations! May it make you healthier and happier!

Yes, you have had an interesting two weeks! You survived your colonoscopy, had a family wedding and then had a tooth removed in preparation for an implant. All sounds familiar. I'm at the two-implant stage right now - but a bit further along than you are. But the absolutely BEST thing you said? You son married a great…
