I'VE REACHED MY GOAL!
Just three months on the Bernstein diet and, frankly, I'm blown away by how successful it's been. I started at 193 pounds, size 37 pants, 16 1/2 neck and a 44 chest in a suit jacket. By the greatest of coincidences, a local charity phoned us this evening and asked if we wanted to leave a load of clothing out for pick-up and, you guessed it, my wardrobe is now officially completely useless! I was thrilled to tell the person who called to "come and get 'em!" A whole collection of men's suits that I couldn't wear to save my soul!
I dropped into the local men's shop to buy the first installment of a new wardrobe. Size 40 jackets, size 32 pants, 15 1/2 neck on the shirts and I'm down to 150 pounds even. Not too bad for a former short fat guy!
The New Year's resolution is to keep the weight off now!
About Me
- Backcountry Muse
- I fancy myself a quiet homebody type that works hard at success in any endeavour that I find catches my interest enough to warrant the effort - computers and discussion groups; reading and reviewing books; wilderness backcountry canoeing, camping and hiking; my work as an investment representative with Edward Jones; music and choral singing in a professional chamber group, The John Laing Singers. Educated originally in Applied Math and Theoretical Physics, I went on to obtain a professional accounting designation and my Canadian Securities licence, but perhaps the most important thing I've learned in life is that it ends all too soon and balance along the way is the most important thing that one can achieve.

Congrats on your weight loss. I'm starting to work on that myself.
I'm so proud of you! Losing weight is really hard!
That's great. I need to follow in your foot steps.
Much congratulations, Paul! I've been struggling with my weight for the last 8 years, and am hoping that -- now that I've discovered Intuitive Eating -- I'll be able to get the 25 lbs off, and keep them off for good! ;o)
