The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In
In the last 10 days my family and I've had 1) my 3 sisters-in-law over to visit for 3 days, 2) gone to my brother's company's very well stocked deer hunting ranch to spend 3 days with he and his family, and 3) had my parents in for a 3 day visit. So I haven't even come close to having my eye on the ball in the last 10 days. Needless to say, I was expecting my first major plateau or even maybe a bit of a gain. Jumped my ass on the scale this morning and got a very pleasant surprise. Pulled the tape measure out of the top drawer and got another one.
Pre-op Consult 10/31/07: 455 lbs
Day of Surgery 11/26/07: 442 lbs - 67" waist
10 days ago 6/26/08: 292.4 lbs - 50.5" waist
Today 7/6/08: 285.2 lbs - 49" waist
In the last 10 days I've lost 7 lbs and an inch and a half from my waist. Someone posted on here one time that they really accellerated their weight loss by working on their house. Must be something to it, cause I've been painting the o/s trim and also took down an ailing tree this wknd. My 73 y/o dad was trying to work my ass off so that he could feel like he was still useful.
Down 170 lbs total and first time waist measurement has been under 50" since June of 1993.
The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.
Good day all, My body is still losing pounds and inches. I've made 5 days working out this week - per my doc's orders. I couldn't be more thrilled with my new anatomy! Here's the numbers: Highest/First Consult: 378 Day of Surgery: 330 Last Sunday: 292
Today: 284
That's 8 pounds this week, 46 since surgery, and a grand total of 94 pounds overall. I'm hoping to cross over the century mark by next week!
Have a great one and be sure to keep hydrated in the heat!
