Feb. 17, 2006 283 lbs. Waist 52 inches
I went on 1800 calorie diet and then 1500 cal as per the 3 hour diet by J. Cruise.
11-28-2006 Plateaued at 204 lbs
Marriage 6-30-2007 weight 200 lbs
After 9 months of traditional low calorie diet (from Feb 2006 to July 2007) I reached my plateau.
I maintained my weight loss (80 lbs)
from 11/2006 till 12/2007 (13 months)
with 1500 calorie diet and 2 hour day exercise
In Dec 2007 I found it impossible to get below 200 pounds with 1500 calorie diet and 2 hours exercise a day.
I ate more calories in form of low glycemic fruit and more exercise to gain muscle. It did not work out very well. Despite 2.5 hours of exercise a day I gained 1.5 lbs each month.
Dec. 2010 weight 250 lbs
Unfortunately I didn't have a 4 electrode Bioelectrical Impedance Scale to measure fat mass and muscle mass.
Jan. 2011 started Low carbohydrate High fat or Atkins diet
I wrote about my year of traveling while cruising and maintaining my LCHF diet Free to read at The Tubby Traveler from Topeka. 2012 link
