60 lbs. / 27 kg. that will never see the redwoods

[mdvaden]

Reached my goal of losing 60 pounds this month. Started last June. A local grocery manager let me photograph 30 x 2 pound blocks of cheese yesterday to show that weight visually. Just added the pic to my redwoods & hiking page too. It was a swollen knee from a hike that was a big reason for wanting to lose some weight. Never realized how much I was storing until I lost 30 pounds and saw there was plenty left.

So much in just 6 month??

 

I scaled-back about 1200 calories or more per day. And that from the weight-maintaining calories of 2700 calories. So ate like 1500 to 1800 daily.

 

But I was previously eating, and maintaining (heavy), somewhere around 3500 calories per day. So my eating was cut in half more or less.

 

Actually, I'm looking forward to the next 5 or 10 pounds being done so I can raise my calories enough to start enjoying a few extra portions and snacks I cut out altogether the past few months.

One question though... Why would 27kg of cheese want to see the Redwoods?
