My plan was to get a 5 foot cardboard cut-out made of myself, and use it as a teaching aid (to frighten kids with) to encourage them to be more active.

For the 2/3 of the American population who are overweight, YOU can do it too. What I hope is that, by the end of this part of my journey, in 16 more months or so, I will have learned enough and made enough mistakes (learning opportunities) that I can distill my knowledge into something that others can follow. I think the blog title "Eat Right, Get Out Of Breath" captures a lot of it, but the details are what people want to know. Lesson #1: cut back on carbohydrates! Cut out all added sugar (granulated table sugar). Throw it out - don't buy it again. Lesson #2: Don't EVER buy sugary soda (pop) drinks. Totally empty calories. Lesson #3: (remembering that I am not a doctor, and this is not medical advice) dietary cholesterol and dietary fat =/= does not equal blood cholesterol or blood lipids. In my lay opinion, it's okay to eat eggs and butter. It's some of the OTHER fats that will kill you.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08184273584998966031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38428994.post-51477507118036842132016-02-16T21:26:20.850-07:002016-02-16T21:26:20.850-07:00Great job, Chris! 80 pounds is no small accomplis...Great job, Chris! 80 pounds is no small accomplishment!

Depends on whether we feel Meg is ready to cope on her own, but if we're still in Asia I'll come visit you anyway when you get to 200lbs.
