A reminder that my next public weigh-in will be on November 9 at 10 AM at the Sav A Lot Nutrition Center in Margate, FL. Located at the south end of the Penn Dutch shopping center. The public is invited and encouraged to step on the scale to verify that it is correct.

I started out on May 27 at 320 pounds. At my first weigh-in on August 17, I weighed in at 289 pounds. At my second weigh-in on September 28, I registered 266 pounds.

So what will my next weight be? For that you have to wait until November 9. I hope to livecast the weigh in or you can watch it right there or later on YouTube. My immediate goal is to lose a total of 100 pounds so I can go on the Steve Kane Radio Show Cruise to the Caribbean next year. This year my wife refused to let me go because she worried that I was so fat that the shipboard food could kill me.

Good luck to you.
That high protein diet worked for me too, about a decade ago.
Overtime, my diet returned to normal and the weight all came back. Maybe I’ll try the protein diet again. It’s somewhat expensive, but not overwhelming.

I don’t have access to a grill, so I will likely sear in a skillet, then either roast in the oven at 325’ for a few hours, or slow boil on top of the stove. Tenderness with beef can be a struggle, a guessing game. Pork is much easier to make tender than beef. I just take a whole spare rib on a pan, gift wrap in foil, bake at 225’ for three hours and put BBQ sauce on it. Delicious, but I don’t know if the fat content will be counter productive.

East coast is a tri tip desert. The butcher looks at you and draws a blank. Miss them.

Good luck, that’s awesome. Scarsdale diet worked for me.

My wife is from Santa Barbara and her family (now in Sacramento area) always has tri-tips at family gatherings. Love them smoked and cooked very slow.

I recently smoked a Tri Tip which was so incredibly good that I smoked two more Tri Tips that same week.

Sounds disgusting. I would have eaten them instead.

You make it look so easy. We have a Weber gas grill...now I’m gonna have to get the charcoal grill.

Slicing across the grain is critical in try-tip cooking. I use Big Green Egg. 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Direct heat. Fat side down. Then 30-45 minutes Indirect at 350 degrees. Fat side up. Enjoy.
Oh, and I use Pappy’s Seasoning.

PJ, how were you safely installing satellite antennas at 320 pounds?

I was trying to figure out how you were smoking a piece of steak.

Pipe? Papers?

Was it a special weight loss trick?

Then it finally dawned on me.

Tri-Tips = Santa Maria BBQ, an American classic. It was Ronald Reagan's favorite too.

That’s one of the good things about dieting - less carbs and more protein means lots of new meat experiences...
