I’m really teetering around this mark…
Weight: 186.5 (back up 1/2 # from last week)
I’m really doing nothing though to try to lose weight. However I’m psyched to report that Mr. Peanut & I are making our kitchen usable this weekend (since the move, it has had crap everywhere and cooking in there has been completely impossible — even any kind of take-out that might involve reheating has been impossible), and both of us really want to get on exercise again. With moving/settling in and starting my new job, not to mention getting thrown off quite a bit by leaving town suddenly last week for a funeral, it’s just been very difficult to get anything off the ground. As always, I hope to be on track soon.
Yesterday I watched a program on TV called the Ultimate Slimdown about a girl in her 20s who lost 50 or 60 pounds over the course of several months (I think 9 months). I was so jealous because they’d be like “Week 23 – 170 pounds” (she started at 213), and I was like crap, I’m already past the 60th week in my journey and I’m only. down. TEN. pounds. Kind of frustrating! But at the same time, I’ve had tons of life change and weird circumstances. I just have to keep chipping away, I guess!

HI there,
I’ve seen a lot of your online posts and perused this very informative blog. I need some advice. I’m wondering if, when you talk about DTG, you’re talking about the low fat diet and not the low carb? Particularly that email string where someone complained about not losing and all the sodium, etc.
I’m trying to decided between DTG low carb and PFFS. My main criteria is that I want to lose as much weight as possible in the next 7 weeks. (Big event). After that, I don’t mind it slowing down as long as I keep losing.
I’m wondering which of those two plans you’d recommend. Thanks so much for any insight you can offer!

Hello,
We did the DTG low fat plan (and didn’t lose weight, by the way). I have no experience with the low carb plan. However, I would probably venture that for FAST weight loss, PFFS might be more effective — but that’s just based on the fact that the caloric values claimed on the DTG foods seemed to be off.
However, if you’re asking what I would truly recommend, it would be that you not do anything too drastic, even with the big event coming up, and that you do a plan that will allow you to lose weight in a healthful and sustainable way. Just my $.02!
Good luck, whatever you choose!!
