Marty,

I highly recommend the book "End of Illness" by David Agus M.D. He's a cancer researcher with a very forward looking philosophy. As someone who's had both parents deal with cancer I found it very informative. Best of luck to you!

Marty, keep your head up man. We are all pulling for you. And you make a great point that hasn't been discussed. No matter how healthy you live, you must keep tabs on yourself.

Well, I set a goal to lose 10 lbs on June 22nd by getting under 182.5. It took a little longer than I had hoped but I weighed in at 181.6 this morning. My body is getting chiseled but I'm not satisfied yet. I'm setting a new goal of 175 today and will stop when I like what I see in the mirror. I really like my new diet and excercise program. I feel good and I'm not losing the muscle mass I have with past diets.

I ate the same breakfast as yesterday. It consists of non fat cottage cheese, fresh blueberries/blackberries, organic yellow grapefruite(Unbelievably good), and a slice of whole wheat toat with a tablespoon of natural peanut butter.

Here's the kicker, I burned 355 calories with my workout this morning. I have trouble eating this big breakfast but it only nets 364 calories.

One thing I've been working on is the primal diet. I don't know if anyone knows about it or if it has been mentioned. Essentially it is all the whole grains, breads and bad carbs that make us fat. It's a diet of mainly vegetable and meat with some dairy. People have been losing all kinds of weight on it. I'd like to drop 10 myself. But it's not easy cutting out the grains and sugar... there's so much in our diet.

diet alone will not get you there on a permanent basis. you have to exercise. there's no way around it.

Tony, the wife and I recently adopted the paleo/primal lifestyle in regards to eating. The first couple of weeks were tough for me but I think I just wasn't eating enough. I've changed that though and things seem to be running along much better now. We also both hit the gym and either run, jog or bike for cardio.

For more paleo/primal reading:

There's a lot of quackey about the primal or Paleo diet. cutting out junk is a good idea, but foods aren't good or bad, and labelling them so is the road to orthorexia.

you could get fat as a pig eating grass fed beef, avacados and spinach if your total calories where too high, whereas you could get in shape eating McDonalds if it gave you suffiecient protein and lower calories.

eating styles is bordering on religion for some folk these days

I think a "recognisable ingredient" diet is the thing, if you can't spell or pronounce the ingresdients don't eat it.

After being inspired by some of the other blogs I read (mrmoneymustache.com is one of my current fav's) I bought a bicycle with the hope of riding it to do more errands so I get exercise, save money on gas, save pollution, and get the errand done.

It helps that I live in the city but this last weekend as I was thrashing on the car I made 4 or 5 trips to Ace, a trip to the auto parts store, a trip to home depot. Even though I was in full thrash mode on the car working on it pretty much from waking up to going to sleep I still fit in 10-15 miles of bike riding this weekend. I hate exercising for the sake of exercise but I love these kind of win/win things you can do that have multiple benefits.


Overall, since starting myfitnesspal I'm down almost 15 lbs though I think 2-3 of that is dehydration from my thrash this last weekend.
