Less of Me

As of yesterday there was officially 20 lbs. less of me. I've been trying out the Hacker's Diet (pointed out to me by Mark Pilgrim) since October 31, 2002. It's not that bad. The basic premise if that you have to know what you are taking in and what you are putting out. I like it because I don't really have to do anything different (read: I still eat bread). I now pay more attention to serving size and I try and move around once in a while (read: exercise). So it's not really a diet by the definition of most people, but rather a change in your eating habits.

Yeah, it's been a slow process. It's been roughly 18 weeks and 20 lbs., which works out to dropping 0.9 lbs. every week. There is a handy Palm program that helps you keep track of your weight and more importantly keep you on track. This means that you have to weigh yourself every day, or at least very close to that.
