Week 19 - down 47 lb
I was worried I wouldn't lose anything this week because my weight stayed the same for 5 days in a row! But I did end up losing 0.6 kg (1.3 lb) this week. That makes a total of 21.4 kg (47 lb) lost so far. I have continued my cycling and other exercises as well. doug

Week 17 - total loss 44.5 lb so far
This week my weight loss was good - I dropped 1.2 kg (2.6 kg). I also reached a major milestone, losing more than 20 kg! So I've lost 20.2 kg so far (44.5 lb). My exercise has been good, but for various reasons I've been doing more walking than cycling this week. Actually quite a lot of walking because I've been showing a…

Week 15 - down 19.8 kg (43.6 lb)
It ended up being a pretty good week! I found myself drawn to cycling almost every day, even when I didn't think I would feel like it in the morning. And I continued my resistance exercises and small amount of indoor calisthenics. My weight was down by exactly 1.0 kg (2.2 lb) this week bringing my total weight loss to 19.8…

Week 14 - major milestone - lost more than 40 lb!
This was a good week for diet and exercise. My cold got mostly better, so I was able to go cycling every day. I also continued my resistance training and indoor calisthenics. And I lost 1.2 kg (2.6 lb) for the week, bringing my total loss after 14 weeks to 18.8 kg (41.4 lb). My major milestone for the week was losing more…

Check-in: Lost 6.2 lb this week (38.7 lb total)
Well, I certainly lost a good amount of weight this week - 2.8 kg (6.2 lb). This brings my total weight loss to 17.6 kg (38.7 lb). The weight loss is not just a one-day fluctuation either. I lost weight throughout the week: Sat -0.2 kg Sun +0.2 kg Mon -0.6 kg Tue -1.8 kg Wed no change Thu +0.2 kg Fri -0.6 kg I think the…

Down 3.5 lb for the week (total loss 32.6 lb)
This was a very good week, weight-loss-wise. I lost 1.6 kg (3.5) lb bringing my total weight loss to 14.8 kg (32.6 lb). So I had a major milestone this week of losing more than 30 lb, and I'm very close to a 15 kg weight loss milestone. I wonder how much of this weight loss is due to the stress of dealing with Hao (my Java…

Weekly weigh-in for 8/3/2012 - down 29 lb so far
I lost 0.6 kg (1.3 lb) this week for a total loss to date of 13.2 kg (29 lb). I also did my cycling and resistance training every day, and added some "jogging in place" each morning. In fact, considering the low-level of calories I've been eating and the increased exercise I'm surprised I lost so little this week. But a…

1.8 kg loss for the week
Total loss as of today, my Friday weigh-in day, is 8 kg = 17.6 lb. I lost an amazing 1.8 kg loss for the week! I'm definitely not trying to lose weight that quickly. But I'm following the Ornish Spectrum program, including the section on heart disease reversal, and when you cut out most animal products, oils, nuts and…

Question about cycling calories
I've started cycling along a nearby river every day. Not so far yet - the first bridge and home. It's sort of a slow-medium pace. When I went to add cycling calories for the 30 minutes I spent there and back, I chose the slowest level, which was, "bicycling, <10 mph, leisure..." and was surprised to see that 30 minutes of…

Lost 1.2 kg this week, 6.2 kg total in first 2 weeks
A little over two weeks ago I thought I had a bad cold, but it turned out what I was really having was a heart-attack. I was in the hospital for a week and got out on the 25th. During the week in the hospital I lost 5 kg, so I'm counting that. My doctors recommended any old 1800 calorie diet, but when I got out I decided…

Barley rice and pumpkin (could use some advice on this one)
Lunch today was another cooking adventure. This meal was definitely filling, but I could use some suggestions as to seasonings, advice on how I made this and confirmation about whether these calories are for real or not. Serves 1 (but is maybe "too much"): 1. Microwave one 200 gm package of barley rice (mugi gohan) for 2…

Not confident, but starting again
Since originally joining this site over two years ago (I deleted my account in February and started again and just now deleted all my diary entries and am starting yet again) my weight has not changed. I'm basically stuck around the same weight. This morning I was 129.4 kg = about 285 lb. I think I'll use this site to log…

Day 3 - strange: gained weight last two days
I recommitted myself to starting afresh on February 1. Now it's February 3. I know it's been only two full days, but I gained weight each day! That's weird. Usually when I restart a diet there is some initial sudden weight loss. But after 1 day my weight went up by 0.4 kg. And after day 2 it went up 0.2 kg. So on my 3rd…

Started over again with a new account
This is Doug Lerner. I couldn't find a reasonable way to reset my old account, started in 2010. So I changed that username to douglernerold and created a new account today. I really wanted to start over afresh on February 1! So here I go again. doug p.s. With losses and regains I'm basically where I was in October 2010,…
