Happy New Year and Best Wishes to All,

Highest: 407 lb
Surgery: 5/17/10
Last Week: 264.2 lb
This week: 261.4
Loss this week: 2.8 lb
Loss Total: 145.6 lb

I've slowed somewhat in my weekly losses - this week's loss of 2.8 is actually deceiving since the scale showed a gain on 1.4 lbs on the day prior to last week's weigh-in - so I really netted a loss of 1.4 this week. I'm not sure if I am on an extended stall or whether I'm past the honeymoon stage and losses will be more difficult from now on.

I think that I'm finally ready to start some strength training. On my last visit, my surgeon suggested that I stick with cardio for a while; but I would like to see of this skin tighten up if only through muscle gain.

Happy New Year, guys.

Ken, you're making great progress - even with the weight slow down.

I've starting doing some weight training. But, because of my work schedule can only do it one day a week. But, I've really noticed how much it's helping the sagging skin. Things are starting to tighten up.

Plus, I think that slower weight loss helps minimize the effects of skin sag.

Wow, i'm starting the new year off in a positive light way LOL. I went out with friends for new years, it was just great to get all the compliments on how healthy and great I look.  I honestly didn't know people paid that much attention to how obese I was.  All night long it was non-stop compliments.  All i could say, was. Thank You.....
