The Promise Diet™ -- a Radical Approach to Permanent Weight Loss

I weighed 203 at the Y yesterday, meaning I'm three pounds less than my pre-Thanksgiving low and 123 pounds from my all-time high.

I realize for some people other factors may come into play, and that not eating enough can mess up one's metabolism and change formulas, but for me weight loss is quite simply a matter of math: expend more calories than you consume and the weight comes off. In addition to my 2200 promise I've been able to work out more frequently than normal, so the math is working in my behalf on both sides of the equation these days.

For a long, long time this was much easier said than done though!
