Wow, finally in the 250's. 6 more pounds and I'll hit the big 100 lbs lost. That has been a goal for a long time. I'm really gonna hit it hard this week to try and lose 6 lbs by Sunday. I'm feeling pretty good and have good energy. I still get light headed when I bend over though. Not quite sure why.
One thing I could use some help on from any of you that have experienced this--I started losing my hair these past two weeks! I could care less about how it makes me look, but it does concern me that I am screwing up on my protein intake or something which could lead to bigger issues?
Have a great week guys--Bill

Did a little too much celebrating over the past week and the scales show it with literally no movement. Had a fraternity board of directors meeting in Boston on Saturday which led to lunch and a few adult beverages with some old buddies afterwards. Then went to a game night whi*****luded grazing Saturday night and led into an all day Sunday event to watch the Patriots beat the Ravens. I tried but the temptations and euphoria of the weekend got the best of me. Was happy to get up this morning and see that I was down 0.2 pounds for the week. Phew!!
I am starting a new beginner 5K program this week ( http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_4/142.shtml ) and have already done the C25K and the pre-requisite 4 weeks of 14 miles so feel good about beginning this. This will lead me directly into the BAA 5K in April. My first 5K so I am looking forward to it. My one year anniversary is coming up on February 7th and I was hoping to be under 300 pounds. I guess its not impossible but the reality of the situation and given my few lbs a week weight loss (at most) is probably unlikely in 15 days... Oh well, I'll get there but not in that timeline. I still feel thinner and stronger than I have in years, if not my adult life. Amazing how much energy I have and life is so much easier with nearly 200 lbs off of my body. Its hard to imagine living life walking around with that burden on your body. I am thankful every day for having WLS.
Anyway, hope everyone has a great week and once again... Go PATS!!

2.4 pounds lost this week!! Finally started moving down again, it has been pretty slow since the New Years.
I have to admit I need to hit the gym more and graze less!!
On the personal front, was a really neat day yesterday, shopping for new clothes!!
Picked up 3 sports coats that look great / off the "normal" rack at Kohls!
Went to the Harley Dealer and bought a nice riding jacket with armor, and I fit in an XL !! That is huge for me, I never really could wear their stuff before, even their 3XL stuff ran small and I could not wear their jackets.
Finally, my feet, I went from a 10.5 EEE (Wide) size to a 10 medium!!

Good Evening All,
I know this is supposed to be a Sunday Weigh In, but forgot to post yesterday as was so Psyched about the Patriots beating the Ravens to go to the Super Bowl. In any case here are the numbers:
Surgery Date 12/27/10
High 346
Surgery 326
Today 197
I am really happy as I have not been below 200 pounds since HS, 25 years ago. Trying to take it a Day at a Time and do the following faithfully: 64 oz H20; Eat Mindfully (1500 calories and 80 g protein each day; and Exercise. Been doing a running program called c25K and am in to the third week of it and going real well. Life is Good!!
