Hi all
Posted: Mon Jun 02, 2008 5:17 pm
Just wanted to say a short hello to everyone. This is the...3rd time? 4th? I've started No-s. A couple of times I made the mistake of giving up after no immediate results (~2-3 weeks) or perhaps even gaining a little. "I'm *gaining* weight? What the hell is that all about?!?!".
A couple of other times I tried tracking way too many things (5 at once) via Habitcalc. 5 working parts break much easier than 1 or 2, huh?
I know for a fact (and via personal experience) that caloric restriction works. I once lost 10 lbs in 6 weeks following a paleo / colours type approach. Sadly, that kind of loss wasn't maintainable for me, though it did serve a specific goal (getting to a particular weight division for a sport).
Lessons learned? Do less, do it slower and don't bite off more than you can chew (pardon the pun).
In any case, I'm a fan of both the simplicity and pragmatism that can be read 'between the lines' in the No-s. Low tech, high concept.
Anyway, fingers crossed for attempt 5. I'm going public with the habitcalc this time as an extra 'fence around the law'. Prying eyes and all that.
PS: Reinhard, if you see this, would you kindly comment on the "personal olympics" thread?
