You are doing so well, I am really proud of you. The only thing that worries me is that this diet seems somehow...short term. I'm worried that if you stop it, you'll put weight on again.
Are you exercising as well as dieting? Exercise might speed the weight loss up even more.
The diet is working awfully fast, it's true. But I've had a couple of weeks of being ridiculously bad. For example, one week, in addition to cake and ice cream almost every day, I had an all-inclusive dinner at a local restaurant - not once, but twice.
What did it include? Meatloaf, mashed potatoes with gravy, rolls with butter, a large coke, coffee with lots of sugar and cream, and an ENORMOUS slice of chocolate cake. The second time, I had a hot fudge brownie ice cream sundae with whipped cream, and the whole thing filled a dish the size of Sebastian's head.
I mean, I was just berserk.
And despite that, I didn't gain anything. I ended up...let me see...
Okay. I have everything saved in an Excel file, you know. It comes in very handy. Anyway, I really started to go wrong about three weeks ago, when the drain line problem started. On 9/1 I weighed 262.8 pounds. Teri and I went pretty crazy after that, and I stopped weighing myself every day. Here's what I've got:
09/06/2006 - 261.8 09/08/2006 - 262.6 09/11/2006 - 264.8 09/19/2006 - 262.0 (this is when I had resumed the diet for exactly one day) 09/20/2006 - 260.2 09/21/2006 - 258.2
As for exercising, you bet. Most weeks I work out four or five days a week. This week I only managed to work out twice (so far), because work has been absolutely insane - I'm unbelievably busy. But I'm sure that I wouldn't have kept losing weight if I wasn't doing those 35 minutes per day (most days) on the crossramp machine.
5'11", roughly. I seem to vary between 5'11" & 3/4 of an inch, and perhaps 5'10" & 1/2. But as far as body frames go, I'm pretty massive; I was a defensive linebacker in junior high, and have enormous shoulders and an enormous head. I wear size 13 shoes, too.
Well, if you're losing just under another 60 lb... That will bring you to about 200lb, right? Now, if my brain can still do Imperial to metric conversion right, that'll put you at umm.. 90kilos?
Now apart from the fact that's the sort of weight I'd prefer to have (I'm the same height as you), but the description of your frame and shoe size it may even be somewhat underweight.

Ah wow! I couldn't manage 35 minutes on one of those, they're evil!

According to all the charts, the MOST I should weight at my height is 188. And that's from the "large frame" column of the charts, too!
