Today's weight: 173.5 .... 4½ lbs net loss over the 4 weeks of the study. I'm still digesting this happiness ... this is my lowest weight since 1996. I'm so afraid it will go away, and tomorrow, I'll jet right back up to 180 and stay there till Christmas.

Measurements: differences are from the beginning of this study.

- bust 40" ... (-1")
- ribcage 33.25" ... (n/c)

- hip 6" below waist 42" ... (- 0.5")
- hip 9" below waist 44" ... (-0.75")
- thigh Rt 25.5" .. (-0.5") / Lt 25.5" (n/c)
- knee Rt 18.75" .. (-0.25") / Lt 18.75" .. (n/c)
- ankle Rt 9.5" .. (-0.25") / Lt 9.5" .. (-0.25")
- upper arm Rt 13.75" .. (-0.25") / Lt 13.5" .. (-0.5")
- neck 13.5" (n/c)

Inches lost during this 4 week Study: 4.5

Thoughts: I'll take some time to muse over what this study has done for me. Insights, revelations, concerns ... given my own personal health and nutrition needs, etc. And how I'll use what I've learned as tools for the rest of my lowcarbing life

I'll try to offer suggestions to others Joe, as we all work over the next week to sort out our individual experiences.
