Carbs In Japan
I live in Japan currently and I can say that I am also very surprised at their snacking habits. Working in a school here, they have vending machines loaded down with all types of crazy sweets, usually some sort of bread covered in a sugary glaze or something of the sort. Before I started dieting I g...

Day 45 Thursday: Success Day 46 Friday: FAILURE! I can't really remember why it was a failure, I know that it was something stupid. I think it may have been taking half a helping more at dinner on Friday. So dumb. At least I didn't blow the day up. Day 47 Saturday: S-Day. Day 48 Sunday: S-Day Day 49...

Thanks r.jean
It's not that I'm having that hard of a time with the diet itself (although its really more of an eating plan). It's just that I'm not seeing really any results, at least weight-wise. That being said, I took some body measurements (chest, waist, abs, butt, etc.) and it seems that I've lost about an ...

Gale, you are really doing well. It is really hard to tell yourself "No!" especially when around sweets all the time, but it does get easier. I used to really, really crave them, but after a week or so of not eating whatever I wanted at my every whim, it became easier. Sure, I still want them when I...

How quick did you drop pounds?
Hey guys, I know everyone is different and will react to the new eating habits in their own specific way. I was just wondering if I could get some feedback on how quick you lost weight when you first started, when or if you began to plateau, and what little changes you may have made to help progress...

Thanks for the advice
Thanks guys for the advice. Looks like I'll be staying with the 8 pounder for a bit for a couple of reasons: 1. Apparently Japan has a lack of real sledgehammers, meaning the 8 pound option is the best I've found so far. 2. It certainly gave me a workout in my first week, so much so that I strained ...

I'm sure this has been answered other places, but a cursory scan of the forum and I couldn't find a great answer, although I saw that Reinhard started with a 12 pounder.
