The A2K (virtual) Weight Loss Club !!

Mind, my waist is still exceedingly flabby and if it weren't for my flowing draperies I'd be flashing a muffin top that would feed a Starving Armenian Village, but Size 8!

I haven't been a Size 8 for a long time.

Thomas, congrats on the new plan. Perhaps you'll notice results by the way your clothes fit?

Won't you feel the difference in the way your clothes fit? Or don't fit?

I must have over feasted yesterday. Actually, this is definitely water weight. We went out for Korean last night --- it was gooooood. Fruit today.

Women's sizes remain a deep dark mystery to me.

:J_P, I'm glad it's working! How's Mr. J_P doing on his extreme fast/feast?

...Hello, it's me again.
This has not been a good December for me and we are almost halfway through January. There is a preceptable bulge at my waistline that was preceptable before I went on vacation and now could be more accurately described as pronounced. The scale does not lie: 203.5, that's a ten pound increase in a little over two months.

203.5 is actually one pound less than I weighed last year on this day*, but in between I have put in looong hours of training and running, yet....

Hello, it's me again.

Fat cells, moreover, don't seem to go away; while other cells are programmed to die, "you've bought them for life," says Robert Kushner, professor of medicine and obesity-care specialist at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Thus, the goal of shedding pounds really is about slimming fat cells down, then keeping them from packing in triglycerides again.

FAT: These cells, unlike others in your body are not programmed to die. Instead they plump up with triglycerides and multiply when they can't expand any further.
