Hope you're feeling ok. Not looking forward to that first cold/flu of the season. Actually hoping that my immune system is doing as well as my others since I began this WOE.

Keep warm, Karen
Nat

Thanks Nat!

I have caught a few colds since beginning this WOL, but they have been mild in comparison to what they used to be. I would spend two weeks afterwards coughing my head off and it doesn't happen any more. There are so many benefits to this WOL. Having this forum is one of the biggest!

I couldn't agree more. Feeling great is .. well, great. Feeling great for others' success and being able to help in even a small way feels even better. Who'd have thought?

I am totally the same with "colds" now too Karen. As you said that's definitely a BIG benefit to this lifestyle. I am one of those bronchical types...who coughs for weeks if it hits.

Congratulations on your stats...you must be very impressed.....you've done great!!!! I admire all those who have worked so hard at this study....something I know I couldn't have kept up.

Oh Sharon, it really wasn't that difficult at all. I'm so used to LC that it was entertainment as well as a great learning process.

Can hardly believe that tomorrow is the end for me. What will I do on Tuesday with no Fat Fast? Maybe I'll stop drinking coffee for something else to do.

Thoughts:

Last day, and a bewildering day of eating it was. Went to a benefit event on Vancouver Island which was "grazing style" then out to dinner at Vij's in Vancouver, one of my favourite restaurants. I'm still trying to figure out the analysis for the day.

I am very happy with the results of the study. If I count the trial week, it's 10 pounds in 5 weeks. If I don't, it's 6 pounds in 4. I've got nothing to complain about!

Time to start working on conclusions...

Talking hmmmmph

Karen, did you make the mint chutney or was that at Fields n Farms?

Speaking of which, I very much wanted to attend but was a bit taken aback with the entry fee...

Sorting out the "messing around in the kitchen" grazing during the study has *definitely* been a problem at this end... got any tips?

Congrats, Karen, ya made it!

Talking PS:

(A) I've already rummaged up an Excel spreadsheet that tracks daily weights/kCals/kCalsPerPound and averages these numbers weekly ... just to see if trends would show up. Anyone who wants one, just PM me OR I could collect the numbers from y'all, plug 'em in and see if some kind of spiffy chart can be produced to get a visual ...

(B) Want to compare, Karen? I'll send you mine if you send me yours

We all made it and are all wiser for the experience. Whoo-hoo!

I'll take a copy of your spiffy Excel spreadsheet!

The mint chutney was at Vij's, a "modern" Indian restaurant in Vancouver. It's one of my faves, but like all of my faves, there is sugar lurking everywhere!

I got no tips for messin' about in the kitchen. It seems like there is always dining out, entertaining and fooling around with food on weekends. It slows progress, but I love that part of my life.

Feast of Fields was funsville. I have quite a few friends on the Island who are in the food business. Next year, you can come as my guest.

Talking wasn't fishing, honest!

but I'd be VERY pleased to be trundling about grazing on an autumn day, and goggling groupie-like at all the food pros...

I'm firing off the spreadsheet right now, have fun with it.

The green zones are calculated so no numbers entered there. All the white zones within the big box of WeekN/DayN are pretty obvious, let me know if I can tell you anything else...

Happy Tuesday all!
