242 pounds

Yes, I once more hit that dreaded plateau. I have fluctuated between 238 and 242 for about six weeks. I have taken a couple of mini-vacations and have eaten high-calorie diets on those excursions.

Not much of a weight loss guru am I.

On August 3 I added two nutrients to my regime. Yes, one should only add one nutrient at a time and I violated my own policy but here goes.

1. I added CoEnzyme Q-10 b.i.d, morning and night. Because I purchased the powder that comes with a scoop, the amounts are not real precise. On the side of the bottle it says that the enclosed scoop provides 100-300 mg of active ingredient. Beyond A Century is usually a little more accurate about this stuff. One has to be careful not to consume too much Q-10. No side effects noted.

2. I added 500 mg. L-Carnosine, b.i.d. No observable effects.

To summarize, my weight has stabilized around 240. I perceive zero results from Q-10 and carnosine.
