I got shot down on another job I applied for.  This is getting old.  

Have been getting hellacious work outs in by cleaning downed trees and branches!  Sleeping good at night too.

Ex-wife got into her apartment and I took over the house this weekend.  What a mess!  If you're holding Wal-mart stock and your dividend goes up you'll know who to thank!

Today (actually yesterday) marks 5 months post for me.  I am down 135lbs.  My goal remains to weigh 200lbs by New Years Eve 2010.  I need to average 5lbs a month weight loss to do it.  I hope I make it, the weight loss is really slowing down now!!!

Highest Weight: 371
Surgery Weight: 344
Last Week: 325
Today: 319.8

I cracked the 320 barrier this week so I am making good progress toward my first goal of being sub-300.

327: Highest weight
229: Last week
225: This week
102 lbs lost

This was a week with a couple big milestones. First, I've now lost over 100 pounds. Second, the BMI chart now says I'm no longer obese!

I have an overdue follow-up with my surgeon and nutritionist tomorrow. Hopefully all good things come from those two meetings.

Hope everyone has a great week.

Way to go on losing 100 lbs!  (decaf coffee)

211 : First goal met (100 pounds post op + 50 pounds pre op = 150 pounds gone) 12/26/09
180 : GOAL!!! 04/12/10
181 : last week
181 : today

Again, same as last week, and i'm good with that.  It seems my increasing my calories to between 1300-1500 has successfully stopped my weight loss for now.  Goal was/is 180, and i'm steadily fluctuating between 179-181 (yes, i'm still a scale ***** and check the #'s daily, i can't help it). 

I went to a wedding this weekend, had a mudslide drink as a little treat to myself.  I forgot how fast i can get drunk.  I wasn't halfway through the drink before i was light headed and slurring my words.  LOL, good thing i'm not a drinker, only occasionally. 

Going to get my bloodwork done today in preparation for my 1 year check up on 5/19 !  Can't believe it's almost been a year....what a ride.

I forgot how fast i can get drunk. 

That is one of the reasons we are cheap dates!

I lost two pounds last week. My home scale reads 221.5 .. I round up.. so 222 lbs go into the journal for today.   That's two more pounds that the scale reading during my body composition test last week at the University of Akron.  Since they calibrate their scale several times before testing, I assume their scale is more accurate than mine.  But I don't have access to their scale on a regular basis, so I'll go with my scale readouts. 

I am trying to lose 23 more pounds to reach my new goal of 199 lbs. That should get me well into the "lean" category for body fat percentage (9%-12%).  Even though the BMI charts will still show me as ten pounds overweight.  That's fine. My ultimate goal is good health
