Ok you fun loving lo-carbers ... I set a five pound goal for the month and still have 2 pounds to go to make goal. This should be a no brainer, except that I have deferred weight loss on several occasions in the past two weeks. Will you please offer me a virtual kick in the butt or a word of encouragement ... whichever suits your temperament, and help me get off this fence? I just have to make goal and your KIP (kick in the pants) might just be the item to move me.
If not, I am a hopeless wretch who might as well give up and be fat, right JC?
Thanks in advance for your sure-to-be entertaining, and helpful, comments.

Methinks that if you make 3 pounds you'll be fine. But four pounds is something you can do if you just up your exercise a bit and push away from the table a bit sooner, fatboy.
I can go either way. 🙂

IMHO focus should be on developing routines where low carb is a way of life. Staying on those routines requires monitoring. http://www.FitDay.com makes the monitoring process practical.
Your short term goal is a bit too short. The body has its own schedule for things.

Well, Roger, I just don't know what to think about this ... you are likely right about the 4 pounds for the month .... and this is not bad, really, is it? As for pushing away from the table ..... I just downed 16 oz. of water in your honor and now will think of you next time I pee. ;-}

Thanks for the nudge toward Fitday.com. I checked it out, after ignoring the common wisdom of the group for the past 10 months, and have created an account there..... I thrive on such regimentation (i.e reporting, etc.) so this could be a big help ... have set a new goal for 12/31. This, being a sold 13-14 weeks away, would seem to be a reasonable time frame in which to make some healthy changes.
Cubit, have read your posts all year .... will be paying closer attention now. Consider me chastened and educated.

No, very realistic and worth trying for!

Decide whether you really want to lose weight or not.

You are absolutely right! That's really what it comes down to in a nutshell ...... do I want the benefits of weight loss and better physical conditioning, or is the status quo so much more comfortable that I won't risk the change ..... you are, as always, brilliant. I bow to you.

I have used Fitday as the $20 download version. I never used the online version. I assume they are similar.
It takes about a week to get used to the Fitday style of inputting food information. Weighing portions on a kitchen scale helps.
