I started at 129.5 kg (285 lbs). I lost down to 95.5 kg (210 lb) then was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. My oncologist told me to eat everything that I could eat because calories were more important than anything else. I gained 13.6 kg (30 lbs) which I carried for almost a year before I decided to start losing weight again last November. I was drifting down gradually but had decided to make a dramatic change in my eating at the beginning of March to see what I could lose over the month. I had an concology checkup on February 27 which was very positive. I went in to see my oncology nurses and update them and one of them, a very pretty nurse, commented that I was looking "lean" and expressed concern about my weight loss. I explained that it was intentional. I knew that I was going to see her again on March 27 when I drove a friend for her treatment so I decided to start cutting then that there. Over the next month I lost 6.8 kg (15 lbs) causing her to freak out a little and when I opened my sweather and pulled my shirt down to dive in and give me a good feeling up. You can see February 27 very clerly on the graph.

To calm her concerns I made an appointment see my doctor and he ordered bloodwork. I made up a 5 page summary of my motivations and methods and recorded every calorie I ate for two weeks. He said that my bloodwork was great and that I was eating well but very little (average 1,100 calories per day.) He cleared me to continue until my next checkup on July 2. I hope to be close to 82 kg (180 lbs) by then.

I'm currently down from 111 cm (44 inch) pants to 91 cm (36 inch) pants and from a 3XL t-shirt to an L. The pants are too loose on me so I'm going to go down to 86 cm (34 inch) pants shortly.

My blood sugar is perfect and my blood pressure is down to very close to normal. I'm feeling good.

I can provide details about how I was eating and how I am eating if anyone is interested.
