I'm all about bringing stuff. I like to bring some sinfully rich and decadent desserts for everyone that wants to splurge and indulge, and I bring an antipasto tray or a Reuben casserole for everyone that's trying to avoid the holiday diet killers.

Glen - on the fast you're allowed eggs, butter, coconut oil, and cheese. I added some spinach and mushroom for a little bit of fiber and flavor. Daily I ate 9 or 10 eggs, several TBSP of butter, coconut oil, and about 6 ounces of cheese. The plan says 1 TBSP of butter per egg but I couldn't do that much. Google egg fast and at the top of the list is a site called Ibreatheimhungry - that's the plan I followed and there's also some recipes to use. I recommend the Buffalo omlet, very good. The fast throws you into ketosis pretty quick. Any cheating with carbs would probably make it ineffective...for me it wasn't hard to stick to it for 4 days.

Your weight loss on the Egg Fast is impressive. What is LCHF?

John, it's Low Carb High Fat. Like the Atkins diet. Not something I can continue idefinitely but what I need for now.

My wife through out my favourite ugly sweater years ago. I was angry. I mean... I was angry! It was a beautiful poly knit. It was so comfy. Bile yellow with puke green trim and it had a patch on one sleeve that said 'BAND'. You just don't see those every day. (Still looking.)

Oh wow! Did I really spell threw that way? *shakes head in dismay* I think I was caught up in the tragedy of the occurrence.

NM...the tragedy of the sweater loss put you "through" a lot. A Freudian slip? Did I spell Freudian right???

Nice loss Jim! So happy you are just about at goal.

Thanks everyone. Don't ask me how or why the egg fast takes off so much so quickly. Part has to be dropping water weight when you rid your body of stored glycogen. Key now will be to not just gain it all back. We'll see how things go moving forward.
