24 Weeks Later and 11.44 Pounds Lighter
Posted by Andre on 27 Jun 2006 | Tagged as: General
It’s been 2 weeks short of 6 MONTHS of doing exercise 4-5 times per week. The outcome is that I’ve lost 11.44 lbs of weight, and a LOT of inches.
I missed my goal by 2.64 lbs, but I’m still way happy cos I have now cracked the consistency barrier. I now find it easy to go to gym. I look forward to continuing to go to gym at the same rate of at least 4 times per week, for the rest of the year.
Who know what my weight we be then… maybe finally 75 KGs, maybe 72, who know… and I don’t really care. I enjoy the entire exercise experience now, and how it makes me, the body and mind feel.
BTW: My two biggest weight loss weeks have been the past two. As mentioned here — and I can now pretty much confirm with certainty — that the weight loss this past two weeks has down to a little diet “tweak”…
Long story short, I believe my body has an intolerance to diary products. When I was a baby (few month old kind of age) I was even allergic to cows milk. I eventually grew out of it and, so it seemed, could have milk without any “visible” reactions.
Some 30 odd years later — two weeks ago — I decided to re-visit the fact that I used to be allergic to milk, and that I may, just may… still have an intolerance to diary products.
This all came about when a friend told me that he believes he has an intolerance to diary. He told me is symptoms… and HEY, I HAD THEM TOO! That’s when I decided to “test this out”…
I’ve now been diary-free for just over two weeks. The weight is falling off, so to speak, and these “symptoms” I had grown used to have all but disappeared.
I haven’t had this verified by a doctor, but I’m pretty sure of what I’m seeing and certainly feeling. Go figure, eh?
Thanks Sandra for challenging me and creating this cool (and powerful) site!

Congratulations Andre! What an awesome achievement.
Making exercise not just a habit but something you really enjoy and look forward to is a great thing.
I feel your pain! I was dairy intollerant for about 3 years… until I found out it was really a symptom of gallstones! Of course more common is just the lactose intollerance. There are many other valid reasons to avoid dairy. If you really want to scare yourself visit http://notmilk.com Are there many soy alternatives available in the grocery there? I found a lot of rice and soy based cheeses, ice creams, etc. that were very good.
