watch theblackkeys get less fat

[Jeff W]

Seems like a pain in the ass to use the points system instead of just tallying calories.

Good luck.

The little slider thingie that calculates the points takes into account total calories, as well as fiber and fat grams. So it's more than just calorie counting.

My 1-year wedding anniversary. Went out to a trendy restaurant.
Had some kobe beef sliders, halibut w/garlic mashed potatoes.
For dessert we roasted smores at the restaurant (?!!)
then went home and ate some of our wedding cake. It preserved well.

8/26 Weigh-in
209.2 lbs.

I lost 2.2 pounds since last sunday
I've been eating a ton more fruits and vegetables.
We have a food scale at home that has been very useful.
Portion sizes have gone down. If I need to stuff myself it helps to load up on veggies rather than bread/dough/meat etc.
I have trouble drinking 48 oz of water each day.
Other than that, it hasn't been that big of an adjustment dietwise.
