The greatest discovery in my life

[Objectivist]

I'll certainly give it a look, especially given your positive experience with it. I'm overweight... not hugely overweight but enough that it bothers me; I tend to yoyo between values and am currently at the upper range of what I feel comfortable with... about 13 stone (182 pounds) and where my ideal weight is 11 stone, what I always used to be when I was younger and when I smoked (and where smoking did have a huge appetite suppressant effect, which I took for granted). I have a wardrobe full of clothes from when I was that weight, but haven't worn them for years.

At the moment I just tend to use a heart rate monitor watch tied to a food logging app, whenever I'm actively trying to lose weight, and it basically measures calories + exercise as well as nutritional values, like sugar, carbs, fat, and protein. I find it fairly reliable but something usually happens to trigger me to give up on it and start yoyoing the opposite direction; either I get depressed or something unexpected happens, and I lose the 'groove' I'm in, or I just plateau and get frustrated.

I hope it works for you, emjay.  I feel strongly that I'll be able to stick with this.  I'm at 37 and a half hours and still not hungry this morning.  Got a little bit of vertigo last night and a headache.  Realized I had only had a cup of coffee to drink all day and evening. It's hard to remember to drink doing this.  I drank a couple of glasses of water with a pinch of salt like he says in the video and it went away.  Feel fine this morning.  

I use a heartrate monitor that hooks to the garmin computer on my bike.  Also a cadence meter.  I try to keep my rpm up to 80 or 90.  I know what you mean about yoyoing.  It's a first world problem I guess.  

I have sleep apnea.  I have central sleep apnea which is brain-related and the weight-related kind.  That seems to have gotten better.  They put me on a cpap machine several years ago but I couldn't use it.  I sleep on my belly and have never been able to sleep on my back.  I can't sleep facing down with a big mask on. It's funny that the doctor never suggested losing the weight.  I thought how silly is it to get this expensive machine when the real problem is I'm fat!  Fix that problem and I won't need the contraption.  

I used to wake myself up snoring but I don't anymore so maybe it's getting better.
