Great log man. I love the attention to detail and the photos of your food is a great addition. I can see some progress between your first pics and 10 days later. It looks like you have dropped alot of the water you were carrying. To me, that means you are doing something right. I know that when I diet, if the water is still there I won't be losing any fat, so good job so far.

I am going to try those pancakes out today. I think I will add a little bit of vanilla extract for some flavor. Have you tried doing that? It should be calorie free to do so as any the little bit of alcohol in the extract will cook out with the heat. Or even better, you could add a small amount of fresh vanilla bean seeds. For a different taste you could also add some cinnamon. Anyways, good luck continuing the transformation. Keep up the hard work and you will get where you want to be.
