When my son was in the hospital for so long and we lived up there, I ate like a horse all day long but still lost 17 pounds in 7 weeks, just walking around from this place to that place at the hospital.

I have managed to keep it off but when I am working on the boat, I gain 5 to 10 pounds per 28 day trip and loose it the 28 days I am off and I keep working on trying to get a pound or two extra off until I get back to the weight I was 10 years ago.

I eat 3 meals a day on the boat but have cut out almost all the carbs and only eat meat once or twice a week. At home when I am off, I mainly only eat salads, fruits and now and then, meat.
