President's Day Weigh - In
Thanks, I won't let it hinder my moving. I am still moving as often as possible. The worst part is getting up from a sitting or laying position. Once I'm up I am pretty good unless I bump or rub the tube on something.
9/9/09: Highest Weight: 506.5 lbs 9/20/10: Tufts Start Weight: 492.4 lbs
2/7/11: Surgery Wt: 462.5 lbs. 9/16/12: Current Weight: 287.8 lbs.
4/15/12: First 5K - BAA 5K - PR 35:49
Highest: 407 lb
Surgery 5-17-10
Last week: 247.2 lb
This week: 243.2 lb
Loss this week 4.0 lb
Total Loss: 163.8 lb
Losing 4lb is a good week for me at this point. I've had a couple of low blood sugar episodes, so I have adjusted my insulin down a bit to see if I can find a happy medium. While I am glad that my insulin dosage has dropped dramatically (from 125 units a day to 25 units now), I wish I could get off the stuff completely as I had expected. My blood pressure meds have not decreased, although I am in much better control of the BP as well. Perhaps I was unrealistic in thinking I was going to get off all the meds.

Wow dropped 5 lbs this week and i really wasn't trying. In fact, I am trying to maintain at 195. As I increase my running mileage and speed, I have to increase my caloric intake. Still it's all good. At 190 my BMI is 25.04...this means i am getting very close, within 5 lbs, of not even being "over weight"! WOW!
Eating junk food and CRAP is not a reward...it's a punishment...

Highest Weight: 310 lbs
Surgery Weight: 300 lbs (on 08 Oct 10)
Last Week’s Weight: 217 lbs
Current Weight: 213 lbs
Total Loss: 97 lbs (from highest weight)
Total Post-Surgery Loss: 87 lbs
Weekly Loss: 4 lbs
Ketosis Level: 5 (trace)
I’ve now lost the combined equivalent of a new born calf, a Chihuahua, and a rack of baby back ribs.
My ketosis level continues to hold at a level 5 (trace). I had my 4-month post-op visit with my doctor and he said my ketosis level is fine and should continue move downward until it reaches normal.
High Weight = 310 Surgery Weight = 300 Dr's Goal = 200 My Goal = 190 
377 - Surgery (RNY - 11/02/10)
350 - 11/28/10 (1 month post op - 61 lbs)
331 - 01/02/11 (2 month surgiversary - 80 lbs)
319 - 02/02/11 (3 month surgiversary - 92 lbs)
306 - 02/21/11 (105 lbs to date)
Past the halfway mark to my goal at 3 1/2 months since surgery. What a ride! Meant to post yesterday, but I've had a cold, and the wife doesn't like me using "her" computer when I'm sick, lest she come down with the same... Much better today, so hopefully back to working out this evening, after a two-day layoff because I simply couldn't breathe!
