Over the course of 2006, I lost more than 70 pounds. By the end of 2007, I had gained 7 of that back. I know that this is a 'normal' response to weight loss. I'm not worried about bouncing back, because my weight loss was a lifestyle change. I stopped losing weight so that my skin would have an opportunity to shrink to my new size. I am now at 245.

This is the year that I bring myself to 200. I don't know what that will look like on my body, because I have not been 200 since I was 18 and that was 45 years ago. So, after I get to 200, I may want to lose even more. I will decide all of that after I get comfortable at 200.

My weight loss was not specifically related to a weight loss diet or a fat loss diet. I discovered that I was sensitive to certain foods/drinks and when I ate those foods (or drank those liquids) my body reacted in such a way that I was unable to lose weight. I will write more about this in another lens.

I have become interested in the whole area of weight loss. So I developed a suite of web pages which help give insight into how our modern culture is dealing with weight and weight loss. These pages help each of us explore various diets and programs involved in weight loss.

These pages accumulate and display YouTube video submissions about these issues. For example, in the page related to the Glycemic Index, the YouTube videos about this topic are made available. You can explore what people are submitting to YouTube for the keyword "Glycemic."

In all of the pages of the suite, the types of videos are fascinating. On one extreme there are professional videos which demonstrate or promote some product or service. On the other extreme there are personal videos where people talk about their experiences. All of the videos give information about how people are dealing with weight loss.

The videos include lectures, seminars and interviews, daily or weekly personal journals, weight loss progress reports, successes and failures, before & after, and a lot of other personal experiences related to weight loss.

Here is the menu to the weight loss suite. And the following are the themes and topics of each of the pages in the suite.

Diet, Diet Club, Diet.com, Dieting, Fat Loss, Glycemic, Jenny Craig, Lose Fat, Losing Weight, Losing Fat, Low Calorie, Low Carb, Low Fat, Nutrisystem, Weight Loss, Weight Watchers.

If you are interested in weight loss, you will find these pages interesting and helpful in organizing, understanding or following a weight loss program for yourself.

Go there and explore. Enjoy all aspects of these videos. If you need to lose weight, find a program that fits you and go for it.
