One of course, is to lose weight. This is no surprise as the World Health Organization estimates there are […]

Bathroom Scales

It doesn’t seem that long ago when scales were white squares of metal and plastic with a mechanical needle to point to your weight rounded off to the nearest pound. Nearest couple pounds if your eyes were half shut either in sleep or denial. These usually topped out at around 300 pounds.Now, scales are like […]

Changes

Back in April when I started this blog, and my diet, I weighed in at 285 lbs. Today, I weigh in at 243.8 pounds. That’s a difference of 41.2 pounds. But is this the amount of weight I’ve lost?

My Crab Cake Recipe

1 pound lump crab meat
2 eggs
4 teaspoons of […]
