I started at 260 and sit here today at <210. Tomorrow I hope to start a 7 day water-only fast after supper with our son and his family. Before I have surgery in Jan-Feb I hope to be well below 200. I'll fast too after surgery because the body heals much faster that way. Mankind is the only mammal on the face of the earth that is stupid enough to eat when he is sick or injured. Dr. Shelton's book goes into great detail on that fact.
