Weight loss ticker

[MTeehan]

Since January I've been posting on Dr. John's boards using the 'Weight Loss Ticker'. Until today it has shown my loss since January 1, 2009. I have been thinking about changing it to reflect my total McDougall weight loss. Honestly, I've been a bit ashamed to post my original weight. After reading the post and then the article "The Fat Vegan" from the December 2008 McDougall newsletter I began realizing that when I was at my high weight (331 pounds) I was a Vegan!! So, today I changed my ticker to reflect the whole weight loss that I've enjoyed using Dr. John's MWL exactly as he prescribes. Dr. John saved me from an early grave and a distressing life and I think it's fair to him to show exactly how much of a change he's really made in my life. He is a true American Hero!

So, your total wieghtloss is 166lbs, right? did you wiegh 331lbs in jan 2009? or Well a better question is
How much did you weigh when you first started McDing?

And congrats on losing 166 lbs and I see your also under your target wieght. Very nice.

Thanks, Debbie! NO! I'd probably be dead if I lost it all in 9 months! My top weight (331) was in January 1997. I McDougalled down to 232 and the SAD'd my way back to over 300. In January of this year I weighed 256.6 and today 164 which is TOTAL of 166 lost since my HIGH weight. (331). SORRY for the confusion.

You should be a Star McD candidate! Terrific job. Maybe sometime you'll write a post about how ya did it in more detail. Congrats MT.

Dr. John asked to what I attribute the success. I told him what I thought were the most and listed these boards and Letha (and her recipes) right near the top!

Matthews Calorie Counter has some cool weight loss tickers that are easy to use. They give you the code to put into your signature.

Thanks. I will have to check it out. Hope you all had a good day.

I decided that I would change my ticker to reflect my true starting weight too. Before I signed up here I had been off and on again for a while, and had crash dieted for a bit to get to where I was when I started here. Truly, I had been much fatter for much longer before that. So while it's embarassing to post what I really weighed, on the flip side it shows how much I have actually lost and I like that.
