The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In

The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In ____July 29th! 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?-   184  (actually early Saturday Morning weight-Up 2 lbs from last week!) 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!) (Exception- Men Do Typically lose faster than their female counterparts!)  Yahoo! Keep It Up!!! Best Wishes-

One year anniversary for me this past week - already posted about it, but here it is again: Highest weight:  652 lbs Current Weight:  305 lbs Total Loss:  348 lbs. It fluxes a bit because of the lymphedema in my legs.  One morning I'll get up and be 299, next I'll get up and be 305 - just depends on the swelling in the lymphedema on my leg. But .. that's going to be fixed soon. No matter what - pretty friggin' good for a year!

Hey all - I'm 4+ weeks out..... Initial Consult 422 Week before surgery 402 DOS 383 last week 350 this week 347 down 3 total lost 75 Battled the scale issue - I have put it in the closet on the top shelf and pull it out on Sunday to do the weekly measurements and weight in.  Also learned (thanks Joe) that I am not taking in enough protien - might be the reason fot the slower weight loss.  I have also started riding my bike. This week will rock!!

Rough week all around!  My wife has been house sitting, so things around here are not real normal.  I was sick a couple of weeks ago, and lost several pounds.  Now it seems things are heading in the wrong direction.  But you know what?  Only I can change that, so this week will be different! 

First day of 6 month diet (Pre Op): 355.9  Last Dr.'s appointment 7/17:           307.1 Last Sundays weight:                      301.4 Weight this AM (7/29):                  303.2 Weight loss this week:                        0.0 Weight gain this week:                        1.8 Total weight loss:                             53.7  Have a great week!
