Sunday Weekly Weigh-In
Thanks Jim and good morning everyone. This is my last weigh in for a couple weeks. We leave for China to pick up my new son on Wednesday and I don't imagine I will find a scale to hold me while I am there. Great week for me; I lost 7lbs. Surgery 10/23/06 439lbs Last week 310lbs Today 303lbs I hope to have internet access and I will be checking in on you guys, so no goofing off while I'm out of town. Have a great week guys.
Very strange week for me; bounced back and forth and netted only 4/5ths of a pound lost. But my body fat percentage (as measured by electrical impedance) steadily declined each day for net drop of 3.0 percent in six days, an incredible drop. So I expect a very good week next week, and will hold off on my disappointment until then.
All told, body fat has declined from 53.0% to 39.4% in less than three months. If you do the math, that suggests I've actually gained nine pounds of lean body mass since mid-February. How I want this to be true, though it is so contrary to what all studies predict. My only explanation is that maybe my increased weight training and supplementation is causing my muscles to hold more water. Whatever, as long as my body fat drops, the weight will follow eventually. Either that or I'll be one scary looking 300 pounder.
Here are my stats 7 weeks post-op:

Last Week - 306.8
