if your metabolism is bad, how have you lost 20 # in only a month? "enquiring minds want to know." in the last month, despite exercising MORE and eating LESS, my weight went up 5#! it ain't fair.

The trick has been so far: 400 calorie breakfast, 250 calorie lunch, maybe 150 calories of daytime snacks, and a dinner thats under 1,000 calories. As a night cap maybe some Triscuits and Port Wine cheese, 250 to 300 calories worth. That usually nets between 1600 and 2000 calories, per calculations I probably burn somewhere in the neighborhood of 2500 to 2600 per day. The good news, the way I'm doing this, I could do it for years. Its a sustainable program.

my body seems to like being fat. even when i was younger, if i slacked off the daily grind, the weight would pile back on with alarming alacrity. must be in the genes. so far, i've gained an inch around the middle, from 34 to 35. but my chest also has gained an inch. i can pinch an inch.
