I've been going the wrong direction - a little bit. Been seriously dating a woman and we've been making large delicious meals every night. It's time to start paying more attention. Starting now.

BOOO.

Except for the woman part.
 
Men often do lose weight faster, Platypus. Good that you are both working on it.

Diabetes is funny; I have a friend WAY overweight, goes on phenomenal food binges, but no diabetes, then you see someone with maybe 15 extra pounds who get it. Biology is not destiny but definitely a factor. One thing I never had, BTW.

Still on same weight. Got Thanksgiving coming up. Another challenge is ballet season, since we do lunch, performance (the dancers sweat, the audience just sits), cocktails, dinner. That begins late January.

But I may be going on a lot of protest marches.

Nice to have you back.
 
Diabetes is more a function of long term overeating of carbohydrates. It often goes along with obesity, but people who are only 15 lbs overweight can also overeat carbs over a long time. High carbs leads to insulin resistance which leads to the diabetes. It also leads to non alcoholic fatty liver disease, which is too much fat stored in the liver.

It is also an effect of liver malfunction for other reasons.

There is also a definite genetic component to diabetes; like most complex conditions, combines genetic and environmental.

Glad to see you survived the election; I was worried about you. Election night can't have been easy for you. Glad to see your feistiness is still thriving.
 
e_blazer, I'll pass too. Although a gay male friend of mine swears fellatio cures sore throats. I'll take him at his word.

Coming to Thanksgiving? Menu taking shape.

Election, cats, big shake-up at work (I still have a job but no manager!) all in one week. Week from hell.

You know, if I didn't have the whole familial holiday obligation thing, I'd love to join you. As it is, hope you have a great celebration.

Still going VLC (except for a few special occasions where I felt like splurging) without limiting consumption volume. Down to 203 as of this morning, basically down 25-30 pounds in two months (not sure exactly where I was when we started). My pants had gotten so baggy that my wife made me buy some new 34" waist jeans this weekend. First time this decade I've been there. I'm thinking this has to slow down soon, but I'm going to let my body make that call.

Pre-Christmas weight loss update. This morning, my scale read 189.8. I didn't believe, so I stepped on again. And again. If it's lying to me, it's doing so consistently. Gotta say, pretty stoked about where I'm at.

I promise to replace the large meals with more ways to burn off those calories together.

OK bud, your turn. How have your dietary improvements and <ahem> alternative calorie-burning methods been going?
 
I'm still doing keto and maintaining my goal weight.

Going to make a roast beef with bacon wrapped asparagus and mashed cauliflower for dinner tomorrow night (with friends over). For dessert, a pumpkin cheesecake pie.

All keto friendly.

Congrats to those who're losing weight.

This is me. I'll fluctuate 20 pounds over the course of the year, depending on amount of travel, indulging, etc....
