I guess that means I have to go shopping and buy clothes that fit me. Ugh. I'm not a good clothes shopper.

Woot!!!

So, what's doing it for you? I've been going the other direction lately, and would kind of like to reverse the trend....

yay! Now ditch the clothes that are too big. That creates a VERY good incentive to keep it off. (Or at least that worked for me.)

same here.. I'm currently training for my first half marathon

Took me a moment to understand what a "pair of plants" size 12 means.

GustavoG! I'm afraid I'm not losing the weight properly AT ALL. I eat like crap, I just don't eat very much. I also found out yesterday that I have an ulcer so that has affected my appetite.

take care of that ulcer! I also suggest giving this a whirl. The Whole30® Program - As featured in the New York Times bestsell... You can do anything for 30 days, and it works for a lot of people. It also gives you a methodology for...

re-introducing things at the end and seeing how they affect you.

also, last and only diet suggestion I'll make. You probably know my story by now.

clicks.

That might be exactly what I need. As a matter of fact, my husband may benefit from it as well. Thanks, LarryB.

I have found that eating largely vegetarian and drinking black coffee does a lot for energy and dropping inches. The meats are often from meat-factories, thus full of things that affect our metabolism. Meat

itself is not really the culprit and in fact low on sugar-converting baddies, but the mass-production techniques are guilty of messing with body-processes. @łarryb do you agree with this?

that sounds like an excellent opportunity for some research... Fixed diet for n (some large-ish number of) days, and switch halfway through between non-CAFO and CAFO of the same animal.

Four or five groups: all CAFO, all non, half and half with CAFO first, half and half with non first. And maybe a veg group, too.

It might be interesting to see what coffee does for me, but I don't really like coffee. Or how caffeine feels, in general, for that matter.
