Weight Loss: Okay, I'm officially sick of it.

You still alive? Or did you gave up already?

I figured it was time to drop in on the discussion I started several months ago. My starting weight was 272.9 then. After a false start or two (part of which was documented here), about five weeks ago I started over.

I don't remember what the starting number was this time (around 270, I think), but this morning, I was 259.9.

All I've done is a combination of slow-carb food and upper-body weight training 3x/week; I haven't even worked anything particularly aerobic into the mix yet. That's next.

What's incredible is that I'm not even perfect on the slow-carb thing; just about every night, I have a bit of chocolate, and I've been eating fruit like it's the last thing I'm ever gonna get.

(Me arms don't look 'alf-bad, either, if I do say so meself.)

Could I lose faster if I cut out the fruit? Sure. But I'd also go insane a lot faster and backslide. 2 lbs/week is acceptable to me. Misery is not my goal.
