recent success with L- Carnitine is helping me shed the pounds like never before
and of course PORTION CONTROL !!

But to anyone who's family is wanting to shed some pounds / improve health....
IMHO it'll never happen as long as there is SODA coke pepsi no matter if it's diet soda
if that's sitting in the fridge ... call a family meeting and END IT once and for all
SODA = SUGAR WATER

I know this is an old thread but had to share.

Had my annual checkup with my cardio Doc today.

Had CBC done last week.

LDL down to 49
Triglycerides 13. Took me off the Tri Meds.
Down exactly 51# since I saw him one year ago.

Guess I'm gonna live awhile longer.

No boat, back in the suds.

Started with Nutra System but the food sucked after 2 months. Then I just eliminated carbs. 2 things happen when you eliminate carbs:
One the weight falls off , at least for me.
Two, the triglycerides drop along with the bad cholesterol LDL.

The weight reduction along with a lot of exercise on my land really killed the cholesterol.

I have one of those step counters on my phone and I average 10K steps a day which translates to over 4 miles a day. Around 30 miles a week with no bread, pasta, potatoes, etc and the weight is staying off.
Funny thing is, and in reference to Chris's post about Charleston SC, you really have to watch what you eat when in the South. I was really banging down the barbeque, Crab cakes, fried foods in general last Winter. It will not happen again this winter as I feel so much better physically. My knees have actually stopped hurting but when you take over 50# off them it's a no brainer.

Headed down January 1st Chris. I'll ping you before we leave so we can check up on your daughter and at least take her to dinner.

I’ve developed a 15 - 20 lb. Covid balloon around my waist.....
It’s either this or buy all new jeans....
With your life style I’m sure you’re keeping it in check..

Maybe I should start cutting down all the trees around here that I’ve been neglecting.... :-)

I'm down a few pounds.
I asked this guy my age how he stays thin and he stated for years he just eats one meal a day and he actually used to own a bakery.
I looked it up just to make sure it would be safe to do and found out it is an actual diet called OMAD (One Meal A Day)
I started it a couple of weeks ago and it has't been too bad because I was doing intermittent fasting (16 hours without food).
Its supposed to trick the body into burning your stored fat.
I said I would try it for a month and see how it goes, I said that about drinking alcohol 35 years ago and have been alcohol free ever since.
I'll keep you posted on my progress
On the Golf thing, I have decided to resurrect my game (if I ever had one). I would love to go out with you guys once my swing gets to halfway respectable.

I’m hoping a course down cape opens this weekend, I’ve put on five pounds since the snow closed the courses. I’ve been walking more, but my lower back isn’t a big fan of the hard surfaces, plus for a while it was walk on the street or not at all and there are too many distracted drivers on the road for my liking.

When gets like this I walk the main road at Wampatuck, its about 2.5 miles from the road to the end but there are two bitch hills. They plow it pretty good and there aren't many cars.

You have to be careful out there, take care!

There is such a difference between the Cape and where I live. 65 or 70 miles and I still have nothing but white on the ground. Hopefully we get some melting today and tomorrow.
I lost 60 pounds last year and have kept it off but cutting wood, doing remodeling projects for us and a few side hustle jobs.

Three of my favorite things, in fact it’s Italian night tonight, but I walked 18 yesterday so I’m ready for a good meal and a nice red.
