Ray, thank you soooooo much for stepping up!!! I have been hosting the
Challenges since 2001 and can tell you that they have slowed down a great
deal since I do not actually participate. New blood (or fresh meat) is what
this Challenge needs!!

It would be nice if we could use the website I already created (just because
so many non ASDLC members like to visit).

Let me know how you would like to work it out. You could send me your html
for the page and I could upload it (the graph with the Challengers).

Each day (or whenever you update) you can send me the html and I can upload
it.

If you have a better idea, please let me know. I can also add a section
above the chart for your daily input (if you want to speak directly to the
Challengers on the page).

Congrats on being back on track. I hope to be there, soon.

Ray,

Can you get my current stats from my sig line? Put me down for a goal of 5
pounds, starting at 195 for the beginning of October. I'm getting into the
TOM/water weight gain time, so it's still a challenge for me.

the brother of an uncle of mine emmigrated to Canada in the 60's and had an
antiques shop in London, Ont. He sold it and moved back to britain a few
months ago.

Thanks Lybbe. I did Bernstein last year for about 3 months and it worked
great except it put me in the poor house and I didn't feel that good in the
long run. I think it was the fact that a 800-900 calorie a day thing wasn't
agreeing with me.

BTW, you forgot to tell me what your October goal is for your stat.

I can't really think of any other way either other than giving me FTP access
to the webserver, but since you don't know me, that wouldn't be very wise.
I guess I could email you a text file with the HTML code for you to
copy/paste.

How's that sound?

Sorry - forgot the goal - I'm shooting for 15 pounds.

When I first googled Bernstein I got a lot of conflicting stories
about exactly how much food is allowed. Most of the stories were
second-hand - eg 'my sister-in-law's cousin...' Right now - I'm at
about 1200 calories per day - and my carbs are low enough to keep me
in ketosis. I feel good - in fact, better than I have felt in years.
I've done Atkins, and portion control was a problem for me. I could
eat a pound of butter without batting an eyelash...lol Bernstein hits
me where it hurts - in the wallet. No freakin' way will I cheat when
I'm spending this much cash. It boils down to a health issue for me -
although i'm in excellent health - carrying around an extra 100 pounds
is not good for me. I want it gone - and if Bernstein gives me the
kickstart I need - good on 'em. I have found that discussing issues
with the doctor - such as tiredness and muscle cramps have given me
some 'extras.' I'm paid until Christmas - if I find at that time that
the weight isn't falling as fast as i think it should - or if i start
to feel unwell - I'm out.
