Despite the suffering (and you will suffer)  that procedure actually doesn't result in lasting weight loss.

I found the fast day to be a good chance to reset a bunch of bad eating habits I had developed (afternoon snacks, beer, etc).  It lead to me eating healthier for, oh, about a two weeks.

126.1 - better

It's a little early to start the next week so I just replaced the current week.

I turn 50 next year so guess what I get to do.

Enter your 6th decade? 

I figured as much.  Everyone seems to get over it so I suppose that I will too.

 
Just make sure you have some good reading material while you're "tapering".

I thought that you didn't hang out here anymore.

I haven't been, but for no real reason. 

I should get in on this weight loss thing, but I think I'm learning that I don't have the capacity.  Running only requires me to have discipline for maybe 8-10 hours/week.  Weight loss requires discipline for 168.

I, of course, know you're right but I just need some droppage for this Sunday's marathon!  Anyway ....

Praise the Lord and pass the Gavilyte!  This morning (my official Wednesday weigh-in) has me at 149.6.  Suuuuu-fucking-weeet!  I am fucking psyched that I might actually get a chance to run a marathon at less than 155 pounds!

Finn - W4:  149.6

PS - found and removed a couple small polyps (yeahbaby - more weight loss!) but otherwise healthy,normal tract).

Congrats on the healthy  GI tract, kencamet! 

Some progress I think.  128.8

But now we go into the anniversary week celebration...
