The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In

The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In ____April 29th! (I'm still out on the road for another week, just "drive-by" posting....) Congratulations and Welcome to our New Guys. For those of you headed in next week--Have the Greatest! For those of you just home—"Sippin' tha****er, and Walkin' Bunches"- Hang in there, And all of you "Livin' on Liquid only Pre-Op Diets!! Same thoughts- It Does Get Easier Each Week! I know that using the scales can make some crazy, (Slower loss is Still Loss!) -But- Keeping track and forcing myself to "Watch It!" Has been the "What works for me," for maintaining my loss. I’ll eat, but know that I need to exercise a little bit more If the numbers climb just a little. That way, I only make "Little" adjustments to my weekly routine. If the "Scales Make You Discouraged?" Then STAY OFF of Them! But for those who Are weighing in- Drum roll-------------------------------------- Hop your Azz up on the Scales! How much have you lost? Since Surgery? Or in Pre-Op Diet? And has the Scale moved this week for you? If so, How Much? My Starting Weight? – 385 + All Time Low – 179 Me?-  usually around 182 

I’m still out on the road So don’t know how I’m doing on the scales, But the clothes still fit the same So I’m betting I’m “In my Range.” – (181 to 185)

So, What about YOU? (NEW GUYS AND LURKERS? Scan back over the last months of this weekly post, And you’ll get a fairly clear picture of the fact that there isn’t a "Typical" progress, Just massive, persistent, overwhelming - PROGRESS!) (Plateaus DO BREAK!) (Congratulations in Advance!!) Keep It Up!!! Best Wishes- Dx

Hey, Dx and all,

Had surgery for internal hernia nearly two weeks ago and without trying lost about 3 lbs. Now I'm back up to my original personal goal weight of 165. Everyone says I'm too thin, but I feel good. Today, I noticed arteries running down the back of my calves, all the way from the muscle to the heel tendon. I guess that's progress!
