Breaking 220 is turning into quite a battle. Bill: I think you're stuck on the starchiest of the allowable veggies -- the peas and carrots of your curry dish. Getting rid of the wheat, corn, rice, etc, is great, but the peas and carrots are holding you up. I know you don't like rabbit food, but you've got to learn to like broccoli, spinach, etc. Start replacing the peas and carrots and you'll blow through 220 like it wasn't there. The way to do this is to just start adding the low-carb veggies to your diet, leaving less room for the the starchier stuff. Change the balance. When my wife started adding fresh baby spinach to everything we eat -- from soups to omelets, and as a "base" for dishes like sauteed scallops and chicken curries -- we started losing weight in a big way. And it's a very easy thing to do. Buy it (fresh baby spinach) by the bag from any supermarket. It keeps well in the bag for several days. Toss a handful into or under whatever you're eating. (Well, ok, not the oatmeal.) Put some under your curry when you nuke it, so it wilts a bit. Makes it easier to take, and after awhile you might actually start to like it -- and when it starts working for you, you will REALLY start to like it. This will work. Say goodbye to 220!

"solid stool" i always have that problem since i am a poor veg. eater. about three weeks ago i added a stick of celery with the v8 juice, use it to mix the liq, hot sauce and lemon then as snack along with v8. changed from eating my home made oat bran muffins to making irish oat bran , steel cut, cereal. I add flaxseed powder to a cup of it at breakfast. lunch added raw broccoli crowns , peeled carrots, celery to my lunch salad and more flaxseed powder over the salad. i no longer have a stool problem. my weight continues around 192/193 now, however i started lifting dumbells daily and building muscle. My shoulders, arms, chest are much larger, legs more solid since using bike. i may be at a stand still pretty much since mid dec because of weight lifting, just added a few pounds to dumbells. Plus i consume a salad that would feed a whole family. I eat two meals daily and this week cut back on fresh fruit, usually three cups at breakfast to two cups plus protene, and cereal. lunch i have fish or chicken on top of salad. i am going through a lot of olive oil, i will cut back on this fat, and need to cut back on size of salad. It takes two hands to lift the plate. Salad consists of mixed greens, onions, carrot, broccoli, celery, stuffed olives, grape tomatoes, flax powder, olive oil, wine vinger, topped off with a sections of fresh fish or chicken breast. i do not measure my meals. small adjustments should get me dropping weight again.

217.6 Down five and two tenths pounds. I knew my water loss this last week would cause a drop, but this is the biggest ever in a week. I bumbled along at the 222 level for six weeks, and my body finally surrendered and said, "OK here's some water if you are that determined." :>) I am probably going to be up a pound or two in the next week, but I have finally busted the 220 barrier. 27.9 BMI, though the "28" line.
