The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In

I am in my pre-op diet with ten days to go for my surgery. Starting weight was 348.  Todays weight is 327.   Down 21.

A little over 3 weeks out Starting - 476 yesterday - 401 Total loss - 75

I'm still hanging on at 239, down from 351. This is the longest plateau yet at 4 weeks. I'm hoping that it will end by next week. Ron

Tops 457 lbs this morning 203 lbs -254 lbs!!!

Just returned from week long road trip. I took 2 boxes of protein bars, crystal light packets, and my vitamins, so I was prepared for any kind of meal issues. Even with the team dinners and lunches I was able to keep to good food choices and manage my calories well. The protein bars filled in my typical midday meals and filled in for the airport/airline based food. Starting weight was 435.  Todays weight is 271.   Down 4 for the past week.

Well another week and another 3 pounds off, it is getting to the point when I get on the scale I can’t believe the numbers, I even get off and back on the scale a few times to be sure what I am seeing. It just doesn’t seem possible that I have lost this much weight. A few more pounds off and I will be about the same weight I was my senior year in high school in 1979 Highest weight-----2000----------- 878 First consult -----12/05--------------613 Surgery date-11/14/2007---------544 First goal under--500---------------498 Second goal under 400-5/14/07--399 Today--------------------------------------390 Total loss from highest weight---488 Total loss from 1st consult---------223  Total loss from surgery date------154
