"On a roll"

UPDATE:

I went in for a "weigh-in" today at Metabolic. I lost more weight! I'm now at 200.5 lbs. I started at 208.5. So, in 8 days, I've lost 8 lbs. I think that's pretty good.
I've been sticking to my diet for the most part. I haven't been drinking as much water as I should. I am supposed to drink like 64 ounces/day. I drink about 44. That's as much as my body can hold right now. After starving myself for so long, my stomach shrunk. I'm slowly stretching it back out to where I can hold normal amounts of food.
For all of you out there that are thinking about starving yourself to lose weight, it doesn't work if you're over 30! I actually gained weight b/c my metabolism completely shut down. As a matter of fact, I gained about 40 pounds since August. That's how much damage not eating can do. Obviously, it's not healthy either.
Oh, I've also started going to the gym. I've added the "Body For Life" workout routine to my Metabolic diet. So, I plan on going to the gym 4-5 times each week. Wish me luck!
