One more time - CONGRATULATIONS on the board breaking the TON mark of weight lost!  A ton is a lot of weight to think about.  It's 40 bags of cow/horse feed!  It is 25 bags of powdered concrete!  It is the weight of 250 gallons of water!  Again Congrats!

Not a bad week for me. I dropped another size in pants (although my excess stomach skin still keeps me in a larger size than would otherwise be appropriate for my weight). For the last 3 or 4 weeks I've added some weight training to my cardio at the gym (kinda late, I know, but my surgeon wanted me to hold off for some reason - and not being a fitness guru, I was quick to agree to it). Perhaps that's why I am seeing my sizes change. I had to buy smaller shirts since all of my 2Xs are now hanging from me. I am close to out of the big/tall department completely, but I need another couple of inches from the waist to be gone for good, My goal would be to get to 38 waist - I am generally in 44 now (although I  just bought 42 jeans that fit well, but also have a pair of 44 dress pants that still don't fit -- who says an inch is an inch??).

Have a good week guys.

457.0:  Surgery day 2/7/11
425.5:  Last Week 2/27/11
420.2:  This Week 3/6/11 - 5.3 lbs lost this week

Down 72.2 lbs since starting the Tufts program.
Down 86.3 lbs from my all time highest weight.

I've lost just about 37 lbs since my surgery 4 weeks ago.  That is crazy.  I still have my gastric drain which is due to come out this Wednesday (Halelujah!!).  That has been the most annoying part of the past month with changing dressing after shower and pulling on the tube, etc...

This week I was able to start introducing some new foods (scallops, ground turkey, ground beef, lentil soup (didn't like)) and didn't have any problems.  I had a pain which developed below my biggest incision which kept from exercising most of the week.  That is pretty mu*****heck now.  Comes and goes but not as bad as it was.  I start back to work on Monday so the party is over!  If you can call it that.  It shouldn't be too bad and I have my meal plan mapped out for work tomorrow.

Looking forward to walking more and exercising more this week in hopes of keeping that scale moving down as quick as it has been.

Hope everyone has a great week!

 330: Starting weight
265:  Today

Not much weight change from last week to this week for me. In fact went up a lb.

More exercise then in the past though.

308 this week.

Finally got the scale to move for me this week. I know it would move more if I would start to excerise again and add some weight training in too.

Been notice i'm snacking more at night and I need to stop it now before it gets out of control. But my size 46 work pants I bought last month are getting loser on me now, so i know i'm still losing inches now.

I got tomorrow for a check up with my primary dr and hopefully i will be off my blood pressure meds tomorrow.

Highest Weight: 310 lbs
Surgery Weight: 300 lbs (on 08 Oct 10)
Last Week’s Weight: 211 lbs
Current Weight: 218 lbs

Total Loss: 102 lbs (from highest weight)
Total Post-Surgery Loss: 92 lbs
Weekly Loss: 3 lbs

I’ve now lost the combined equivalent of a 2-month old horse and a rack of baby back ribs.

As usual, there was little weight loss during the week but the scale started dropping on Friday. Typical pattern for me.

 

 Up a few pounds this week to 194.  OK...it is still below my 195 goal and right where I want to be.  Like Don noted above, I have to watch the grazing.  As I am running more and adding more miles, I am able to eat more and legitimately so, it seems I have a much bigger appetite.  Just have got to make sure I'm taking in the "good' carbs and protein, and not eating crap!  

Great to see some nice FARTs noted above!  Keep up the great work guy!  Over a TON that is freak'n amazing!  GOOD JOB ALL!!!!

Have a great weekll!  Mike

Can't beleive that I started loosing again. I thought I was done. I was trading the same two pounds for the last month and a half. I guess I was in a stall. I guess I may hit Onederland soon.
