I'm proud of you for sticking with your sweet-tasting-foods-free challenge - you da' man! - but don't forget your results may be attributable to you finally taking the Metformin at the prescribed dosage, which never did before a week or two ago.

I just want to make sure for anyone following your story, who may have some of the same issues as you, that all the factors influencing your results are clearly set forth.

Jimmy,

I'm on board with your sweet free challenge through Thanksgiving.

I've been having lots of carb cravings lately and had an indulgence yesterday.

I'm going "cold turkey" until it's time for some hot turkey.

I really appreciate your transparency about your weight, health, and your eating. I think it's a great service to all your readers.

I think that the challenge of losing weight and the bigger challenge of keeping it off in the long term is much like dealing with drug and alcohol addictions. It helps to see people doing it, but it really helps to see that even people who have achieved extraordinary results (you) can still face seemingly insurmountable challenges and not give up.

Congratulations on your recent success in shedding some pounds and remember that whether the weight loss continues at the same pace or not, sweeteners, caloric or otherwise, were not meant for the human body.

Cheers,
Alex

Congrats on following through on the first week of the new plan. I see lots of good things in your diet. I'd caution against many days like the 1st where you relied on the nuts instead of a real meal, but that is minor issue. Today's menu on the other hand is perfect with food selection. Keep it up -- the rapid progress has to be encouraging and intoxicating.

Congrats Jimmy on your success and let me say I totally agree with Vitamin Tutor. I admire you for your transparency and honesty!

Jimmy,

I am just beginning on my restricted carb journey...again, after losing 30 pounds on it about 9 years ago. I didn't stick with it and now have about 50 lbs to lose. I've reread all my old books, plus new ones. They have been encouraging, but looking at and reading your story has helped me the most. Thank you for being so honest.

I already care very much about you and your wife. You both are on my heart and in my prayers. (Our 32 yr. old daughter has fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. She's had it for 12 years and is extremely ill.)

I'm excited that your body seems to be responding in a good way to the changes you are making to your menu. Of course you know what you're talking about regarding weight loss! Anyone who has truly attempted to lose weight knows success can't always be measured by what you weigh. I respect and admire your perseverance. We all benefit from your authenticity. Sincerely, Susan

Of course you've got a right to talk about diet. You did lose 180 pounds and maintained for quite a while. Only putting on 30 pounds recently. Some people gain all the weight back. So ignore the tossers! Can't wait to hear what the next weigh in brings.

Congratulations on making a WHOLE WEEK! Good luck with the upcoming weeks and thank you for not letting "those" people get you down. Your level-headedness is definitely a wonderful quality that you want to preserve. Good luck!!!

To all of Jimmy's critics:

Allow me to remind you of this ... Jimmy has been very forthcoming with the news about his recent weight-gain. He didn't have to do that.

He's openly admitted that his version of the low-carb diet, that worked for such a long time, stopped being effective for him.

Can you not see that that takes integrity and courage? This is not just Jimmy's weight (and health) that we're talking about. It's now his livelihood. He's risked people losing faith in him and his business because of his decision to be open and honest.

This says a lot about what kind of a person Jimmy Moore is. The truth comes before ego and commerce.

Please try to keep that in mind before lashing out at someone who's trying (and, I think, succeeding) in doing the right thing.

And, Jimmy, I'm encouraged by what's I'm seeing in the past week's menus and your weigh-ins. I sincerely hope that this is the key for you and for others that find themselves in a similar predicament.

Kind regards,

Harry
