The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In

Bob and his family are also in my prayers this week. Last week I thought I was at a stall, but then had some of the biggest loss #'s since just after surgery this week!  I'm now only 15 lbs from my personal goal of 205 lbs (6'4").   As many of you may be aware, my wife and I both had RNY surgeries in March 07.  We have really grown together through this process.  Alot of it has been facing our fears, and embracing the present rather than just looking forward to the future.   Highest weight:  350+ Start of 2 week pre surgery diet: 337# DOS (3-13-07):  322# Last week: 227# This week: 220# This weeks loss:  7#   Total loss:  130#

Sorry Guys-- I posted the above posting not realizing I was signed into my wife's OH account. 

I was gonna say "cool we got a chick in the midst of us"

I started to think- "Dave!, go get your testosterone Blood Levels Checked!  Quick!" Best Wishes- Dx

Yeah... I could have just deleted her post,  but instead decided to keep it.  I thought it was pretty funny too and was hoping somebody would make a joke!  I guess I just mixed things up a bit for this week's weigh in! --Dave

Hi Guys, I have been bouncing up and down but as of this morning still at 186. Highest    375 Surgery     324 Today        186 I have been trying to watch my intake and I really need to get more consistant with my exercise. To tell the truth I don't do much at all. Just walking a few days a week and the normal every day chores. I will get to 180. pan head

Hi Folks, It's been a while since I last checked in.  It's been cccccrAZY at work and I've been putting in 80+ hours the last few weeks, plus I bought a new house and have been moving in my "spare" time.  Just in case you didn't know, moving SUCKS!!  But I am finding out I have way more stuff than I really need, so am paring down the extra stuff along with myself.   I reached another mini-plateau the last couple of weeks but am starting to break through.  I'm under the 250 pound mark now for the first time in years!  It's time for some clothes shopping I guess.  Up until now I have been able to use the clothes I already had (I have clothes in every size known to man as I yo-yo'd up and down over the years).  Here's hoping none of my friends or family decides to get married or croak on me because I don't plan on getting new suits until I reach goal.   

Highest Weight	328
Weight at Surgery (5/21/2007)	308
Current Weight	249.5
Total Lost	78.5

Well I guess it is time for the old man to check in and make my report. My starting weight when I decided to have WLS was sitting at 475 lbs.  Even though the weight was sitting there, I was sitting in a wheel chair.  I have not been back in that wheel chair since two months out. Had my surgery on Nov 5, 2005 so I am at about 22 months out and my current weight is: 219 lbs.  That means I have lost 256 lbs since I started this journey.  I am really half the man I use to be! I am really hoping that by Christmas this year I will down below the 200 mark.   Here lately I have been looseing two to three pounds every couple of weeks. My prayers certainly are going out to Bob and his family.   Dan

I'm holding at 216.5 and thirty-two weeks out
