 Well Hello Fella's, Sorry i haven't posted in a while but life is crazy. I have gone back to work fulltime and my kids are playing basketball 5 days a week, sunday's i usually go ice fishing or whatever i can do to keep busy. The weight has been going good for the most part, i fluctuate between 244 & 252 but i think that is because of the fluid in my legs. I found out last month that i my veins have closed up so the blood in my legs does like a reflux. so on Febuary 16th i am going in to have a surgery to open up my veins on my left leg then a couple weeks later to do my right.... I am so happy with my success & greatful to the people who have helped me along. The other day i got up on my roof to shovel it off. "HOLY **** WAS I NERVOUS" but another check off of my list...So even though i haven't posted i still think about you guys and hope everyone is doing well. OK well here's the numbers!!!

Highest Weight - 544-----292 pounds lost since
Started Program @ 520---268 pounds lost since
Surgery weight - 457-----205 pounds lost since

Nothing doing on the scales this week- I totally expected it. I had a few decent workouts this week and I am feeling and looking better as a result. I am looking at another good workout this morning- snow shoveling!

I have my 6 momth labs appt. at Tufts this Thu. They always encouraged me to load up with questions for the surgeons assistant. Do any of you guys have suggestions for Q&A when you were 6 months out? Let me know.

I will definitely be experiencing some downtime today between 3 and 6 p.m. GO PATS! That is all.

Highest: 407 lb
Surgery: 5/17/10
Last week: 180.2 lb
This week: 177.6 lb
Loss this week: 2.6 lb
Total loss: 229.4 lb

It's hard to believe that I dropped 2.6 lbs this week when I felt that I had not, been as aware of my food choices as I should have been. However, as I've said before, I guess the loss will end when it ends..whenever my body is where it wants/needs to be.

Have a good week guys.

415: Highest
394: Start of my journey (7/15/11)
340: Day of Surgery (9/27/11)
270: Last week
267: This week

Steady as she goes, another 3 pound loss this week. I am almost back to my sports playing weight from high school. I was around 260-265 until I broke my ankle my junior year playing baseball. That is what started my weight gain and I have rarely been below 300 since. It has taken me 19 years and RNY, but I am almost there and it feels amazing.

Highest weight: 428
Surgery weight 11/3/11:  386
last week: 345
today:  340
Loss - 5#

Yes!
Hopefully this means the stall is over. I stayed at 345 for 11 days and then lost it all the last few days.
On the other hand I just had my second shot of "man-juice" yesterday. So I guess we'll see in a few days if the sodium thing kicks in again, or if I just beat a stall.
Any its good to feel that I have developed skills and determination to ride out a harder time. One of the gifts of massive weight loss is the self knowledge that you can do anything that you set your mind to.

Thanks for the support guys.

Have a great week you losers.

Morning Gentlemen:
It was a pretty good week. I didn't exercise as much as I usually do because we had an abundance of snow in our warm part of Canada. But still I tried to keep busy. This was a really good eating period for me: keeping my portions small, staying away from the bad stuff, and generally being good. I am so happy that I am off insulin - major victory!

So this week I am down 3.25 pounds - much nicer than the 1 or 1.5 I have been doing lately. I am not in a big rush to lose my weight, it is just that I am much slower than my weight loss friends. Kind a makes me feel like the last one coming in on a race.

Have a great week guys.

AWESOME NEWS on the Insulin!!!!

Way to go!!!!

Scale has been hanging between 284 and 285 all week.  Welcome to my first stall since the three week stall!  Kinda sucks, but I'm ok with it.  Been having a great week in spite of the stall.  Been kicking butt at the gym and work has been very busy all week.  

All in all a good week.  the only way it could get better is if there was an actual loss on the scale.  However, that will come with time!

Have a great week everyone!
