I just wanted to say WELCOME to you, Newman!!! I've been reading your new section since yesterday and I think it adds important balance to JP's site.
Re: this thread, I lost about 40 lbs in two months on the Fear of Dying Diet back in 2000-2001. The other important aspect to this is what it actually does for your health immediately. Mine started with being told that I'd need cholesterol lowering meds after having been on blood pressure meds for 11 years. Yes, I definitely over reacted with the weight loss but, after losing the weight and learning how to take care of myself better from mostly forums like this one, I never needed the cholesterol meds and have been off the BP meds since 2001.
Oh, currently 210 at 6'3" and trying to get back down to 199. Haven't had the BF measured lately but usually in the 12-17% range. Even though I don't put a lot of stock in the BMI index, I'd still like to be within my range which tops out at 199. I know my BF is high right now because my normal weight is about 5 lbs lighter... and I didn't gain LBM during Thanksgiving!!!
