Still busy losing “X-mas-gain” meaning considerable percentage is
water, the going will get tougher in a couple of days…

The Cahallenge for 2010 is to do the best you can…

Two of my personal goals are to lose another 68 pounds and to run a half marathon, what’s yours?

It’s a rather ambitious goal and judging from my track record my chance to succeed is similar to a snowball’s chance in hell…

So I haven’t made a New Year’s resolution out of succeeding in my project, my promise is just to give it my very best effort!

Weight loss so far for me has been rather mediocre 43 pounds since July 2006 starting att 278 pounds. Now it’s time to really get things happening…

The blue line in the graph below i history, the red dotted line is what I would like to see happen… The little “bump” just under 180 pounds is where I’m supposed to run/jog G:oteborgsvarvet/Gothenburg Half Marathon.

Take part in Weight Loss Challenge 2010!

You don’t have to do anything except giving it your best effort!

But if you want to, I’ll be happy to receive your comments & com-mitments to this post…  I will certainly update my progress on this site.

Good luck!

Margarine anyone?

Two small / medium-sized cold potatoes (135 grams) 
40 g mayonnaise 
40 grams sour cream 
10 grams french mustard 
20 grams finely chopped cucumber sandwich

Per portion: Per serving:
Kcal:                   272 
Protein:                  2 grams (3% E) 
Carbohydrates:    13 grams (20 E%) 
Fat:                      23 grams (77 E%)  

Combined with som bacon, sausages or other meat it could very well fit in to my kind of “liberal” Lowcarb-diet. If you would really like to go low on carbs replace all or som of the potato with black radish.

Kalla fakta  Del 12 av 15
Svenskarna blir allt fetare och experter talar om en fetmapeidimi men varför blir vi fetare? Beror det på att vi är hungrigare i dag eller äter vi fel? Allt fler läkare anser att man bör äta mer fett och färre kolhydrateter, vilket strider mot de statliga kostråden. Reporter Johan Åsard har granskat de vetenskapliga bevisen för att fett är farligt. Reportaget visar också hur forskningen om kostråden påverkas av livsmedelsindustrin som har allt att vinna på folks rädsla för fett.

Cold facts  Part 12 of 15
The population of Sweden is getting fatter and fatter and experts talk about an obesity epidemic. But why do we becom more overweight an d obese? Is it becasuse we are hungrier now than before, or do we eat the wrong food? More and more physicians are of the opinion that we should eat more fat and less carbohydrates, which goes against cost nutritional guidelines issued by government. Reporter Johan Åsard has looked into the scientific evidences for fat being dangerous. The program also shows how research about nutritional guidelines is influenced by the food industry who has everything to win from people fearing fat.
