The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In
November 11th!  
Hey!!  An Extra Hour Tonight!!  Set Your Clocks Back!

(Continued thoughts, prayers and well wishes
out for all our guys 'near the edges'.....)


My oh My what a rush of guys Just coming home from the Hospitals out there, And a whole group ready to "Take Off" this next week! Congratulations and Welcome to our New Guys.
For those of you headed in next week--Have the Greatest!
For those of you just home—
"Keep 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/Different, Each Week!


Yes, 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?-   
183.5 Saturday Night Weight....
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!)


Keep It Up!!!
Best Wishes-

Hi Dx,

Thanks for the input on the vitamin issues. No side effects yet, but better safe than sorry.

This week I'm almost the same, but still at a new all time post-op low of 164.34 (calculator convertion from 74.7 kg.).

Since I'm almost the same every week (hardly change even if I exercise 4 hours in a day), I'll try every week to list some new post weight loss discovery:

This week's discovery?

You can never reach/ discover full flexibility potential until you are actually thin. At 5'9, my gut got in the way until I was wearing 32 jeans (29-30 slacks). Just an additional 5% bodyfat also seems to have quite a negative affect on balance, too. Not trying to encourage wasting or anything, but I would suggest not settling for overweight, if you can possibly avoid it (in spite of what the news may say about overweight people having lower incidence of cancer).

Have a Great Week,

Dave
