[quote=@Gunther] I have lost 25 Lbs in the past 4 weeks. I am on a strict protein diet; about 1000 calories a day. This is a 60% reduction in calories. I have gotten used to the decreased caloric intake, but it was rough at first. On another note, my wife was diagnosed on Monday with Thyroid Cancer. She will have a procedure to remove it in two months. [/quote] What a coincidence i gained 25 lbs in the past 4 weeks, now we know where yours went 😁 My thoughts and prayers are with you my friend, as well as your wife and rest of the family.
