Come follow me at Stunt Eating.

Season three starts this Friday. Come back then for the new site.

Here are some final numbers in regards to the fad-diet diet I did on Revival of the Faddist and the no-diet diet I did on The Dead Weight.

I did fad diets on and off for about 200 days and lost 54 pounds.

I did “no” diet for about 250 days and lost 50 pounds.

So, what’s next?

What’s next is “Season 3.”

I like the ideas of blogs with ends. Most blogs just go on and on. I like the idea of a blog being a self-contained unit. I kind of think of them as seasons of a TV show. Revival of the Faddist, was season 1. This blog, The Dead Weight, was season 2. In May I will be starting season 3 with a new site which will be the final site in my weight loss trilogy. I feel I’ve worked on two sites devoted to both ends of the dieting spectrum and now it’s time to take what I learned and use it to finally complete my weight loss project. This will probably take another 9 months to a year, I’m guessing.

I will be posting an update here once things are ready but in May everything will transition to the as-yet-unnamed new site.

In the meantime, if you enjoy this site and you haven’t read Revival of the Faddist, I’ve picked out some of my favorite posts or posts that I got the most feedback on.

The Essential Revival of the Faddist

1. The First Post - An introduction to everything and an explanation of why I'm jealous of 1000 pound people.

2. The Ghetto 48-Hour Miracle Diet - In the summary of my experience on the Hollywood 48-hour miracle diet I give the recipe for my home made version (which I've heard from a few people worked just as well).

3. The Master Cleanse - I talk about my history with the incredibly moronic Master Cleanse.

4. The Graham Diet - Where I test out the efficacy of Sylvester Graham's (inventor of the Graham Cracker) diet to curb sexual urges.

5. The Fate Diet aka The Dipshit-Proof Diet - My improvement on the internet sensation "Idiot-Proof Diet."

When I first started this site I talked about a previous diet I had been on. Well, I had blogged about that diet too. While this site was a non-diet diet, that site was a fad-diet diet. You can read all about it at Revival of the Faddist.

The story about both of those sites is told there in Connecting the Dots Parts I and II.

Part III of this story is still to come.

That's right. I had my last weigh-in last night. Well, my last weigh-in on this blog at least. But not the last in the course of my weight loss.  I'm going to make some changes in regards to how much I post, when I post and what I post about so I'm going to change things up. This is all going to make sense in a few days time, but for now you'll just have to go with me on this.

I started this site on June 1st weighing 316 pounds.

I stepped on the scale last night weighing 266 pounds.

Total weight lost since day 1: 50 pounds.

That seems like a good milestone to end the official weight-loss portion of this blog on.

But come back later this week and in the following weeks to see what the next chapter is in my weight loss journey.

Good christ, I just googled "weight loss journey" to see how hackneyed a phrase it was and it came up over half a million times. I need to be more original than that.

Time to hit the thesaurus.

[flip, flip, flip]

Aha, here we go.

Come back later this week and in the following weeks to see what the next chapter is in my weight loss peregrination.
