Introduction/ SBD again...

[Guest guest]

I would like to introduce myself.

I am from New England. 47, m, 5'8 " , 231.5.

I was on the SBD last fall until my Father died and the foods came

rolling in. I had lost nearly 20 lbs. in 4 weeks until then. Now my

weight has gone back up to 231.5, within a lb. of where it was when

I originally started.

My wife and I are both going Ph1 after New Years. Our main

motivation for this is the underwater pic a friend took of me

snorkeling last winter. I appear to look like an underwater

mammal :-(, and I don't mean dolphins.

Like some people here I suffered from fatigue and being cold much of

the time, especially if I was strictly adhering to the diet. Here in

Northern New England being cold isn't hard to come by, so hopefully

there is a remedy for that...

On a bright note my cholesterol dropped 40 points after PH1.

My 1st goal: 200 lbs. by March 2nd, 2005

My ultimate goal: 180 or less

Have a great day,
