I lost another 7lbs in two weeks. 16 more pounds and I hit goal weight. I've been threatening to post a pic (I will), just want to feel comfortable first with my image.
I've not worn a single pair of jeans in a decade. Looking forward to that 31" waist. I'm following McDougall to the T. now. I can't get past 1300 calories a day eating this clean, so it really helped me out. You just can't compare a vegetable calorie to a crappy food calorie. They are so different and the little things slowed me down.
Oh, during the 4th I flubbed big time. I ended up eating an entire cherry pie. Had gained a few pounds back. That guilt forced me back to my senses.
The BMI chart says I should weigh 160.......no way in hell. 172 is about all I can give without looking gaunt. Besides, I'm, in the gym everyday now and hopefully that will offset the "skinnyness" look. Should happen by end of Sept. Will keep you posted. 6', 188lbs and winning.
Have a great day everyone!

So for ex., let's say you're 6 feet tall. That's 72 inches, so your waist should measure no more than 36 inches and ideally less.
Hope that helps, and here's the link to the vid:
