You made some blog posts in July of last year in regards to fiber and wieght loss. The scientific approach that you used for losing weight was very appealing to me (I’m a software engineer).
Basically I set a goal of losing 2 lbs a week (with some weeks being exceptions like Thanksgiving and Christmas). I then weighed myself twice a day to determine how I was tracking to that goal each week and adjusting my food intake accordingly.
I get most of my exercise playing indoor soccer 3 times a week and chasing my 4 kids (I will really be in for it once my twin 11 month old boys figure out walking).
I did supplement fiber via powder mixed in water for the first few months of dieting pretty consistently, but less so after that. Long story short, I was 210 last July and am 155 now (at 5 ft. 7in) and I credit you with inspiring me to strategize losing weight.
It will be nice when I get back into backpacking this year to have a lighter load to carry. So thanks Jimmy for sharing your knowledge and perspectives through your website,
Congratulations! I’m honored to have played a role in your achieving your goals. I hope your remarks come as an encouragement to others.
I’m also glad that the fiber recommendation was useful. It really can play a significant role in helping folks achieve their weight goals.
We used to put babies in back-packs and hike around with them. They loved it.
