Howdy all, Been lurking, Guess it's time to introduce myself.

Boys and their toys, hmpf!

Welcome Jim! Sorry I haven't made it by for an official hello sooner. You have done a remarkable job at this, but stalls do happen.

I know I'm coming in late here, but I wonder if you should increase your carbs per day. 20-40 seems awfully low for a fellow like you, and considering how far you've come. I can tell you that I can eat around 55-60 carbs per day and still lose weight. Others can eat even more than that. Let me ask you, did you bump yourself up the food ladder, are you currently eating from every food group?

So it's been a few weeks since you came back, I hope your stall has broken by now!

Brady, I've got 2 that I use regular, A whites DFX and a Fisher F75. It's a great hobby, I've paid for both units with the finds that I've made. I coinshoot and do alot of civil war relic hunting. It took me 2.5 years to find enough to equal the cost of the whites but I found some killer buttons and rings that paid for the fisher in a month and a half. Hate to hear yours is acting up.

Hey Jim, I have two cigar boxes full of old coins. My best find was a gold necklace and a ring I found at the beach in Biloxi one summer. My sister took it from me though. She said it was appraised at around 800 dollars. She gave me a hug instead.
Searching for the cival war stuff sounds very interesting. Keep me posted if you find anything out of the ordinary.

Thanks for the welcome Silly, Yes I've broke the stall by getting rid of the sugar alchols. I dont eat a whole lot of everything though, I've cheated a few times over the diet but get right back on. Basicly I reckon I've been on an extended Induction. I feel fine and havn't had any problems with this, I drink plenty of water and basicly take in no more than 40 carbs per day. I'm a few pounds away from the century mark and will slow it down a bit after that by taking in more carbs and adding more foods to my diet. I set a goal last November 1 of trying to take off 100 pounds in a year and I feel like I will make it. I may need some help from y'all when I hit over the hundred mark to eat a little better while still losing weight. Thanks for the welcome and concerns, I appreciate them and feel here I ain't alone in this struggle to lose weight, I wish all y'all the best luck in our constant battle, Thanks, Jim.
