This is a chart of my weekly weight since ending the Slow-Carb diet. July 9 was the 1st measurement for Phase 1 of The 6 week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle. July 23 was the 1st measurement, August 6 the final measurement for Phase 2.

This is a chart of inches lost (sum of chest, waist, hips) since ending the Slow-Carb diet. July 9 was the 1st measurement for Phase 1 of The 6 week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle. July 23 was the 1st measurement, August 6 the final measurement for Phase 2.

Today is the first day of 1 week back on Phase 1 from The 6-week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle. It is the 69th day since I switched from the Slow-Carb Diet.

So, phase 2 is in the rear-view mirror now. Last week's plan to eat less of what is allowed on the plan worked out for me, and I lost 5 pounds this week. But I didn't lose as much as I gained the first week.

The net weight difference on Phase 2 was a 1.4 pound gain. But I am leaner than I was, and have a total inch redistribution that is down 3/4", so I will consider the experiment successful. Successful, but one that will not be repeated.

Today I start a repeat of Phase 1 for one week. After that, I will begin Cheat Your Way Thin (CYWT) with a cheat day. The timing says, this is goodness, because next Saturday I have a few parties to go to. It will be nice not worrying about what I eat. Yes, there will be pictures.
