November 4, 2009 Update


I guess I should go weigh myself. I think I've been losing weight, but I don't really know how much. I weighed in near 340 when I started this, and the doctor (when I had H1N1) weighed me at about 325, but that was two or three weeks ago. Here's the latest picture.

I stuck to Atkins pretty carefully in October and it had a great impact on headaches. I now have a minor headache every week or so, sometimes two. They are not as severe as the "bad old days" were.

Two things - got rid of Nutrisweet and got rid of sugar.

I only went off Atkins a couple of days at the worst of my swine flu. Somehow it didn't seem appropriate to eat pork and other meat products then. My stomach was really messed up.

The next thing is exercise, but H1N1 has not left me with much in the way of physical reserves, so I will go slow on that.

Early October Progress Report


I'm dieting now, not so much for weight loss (though that is a benefit) but because of the effect it has on my headaches. The doctors in Springfield wanted me on the Atkins diet (can you believe it, doctors telling you to do Atkins?).

I started in September. Don't know if the picture will show any weight loss.
