Sunday Morning Weigh In
Good morning everyone,
I have been visiting the chiropractor recently and Friday he tried to pop my back and bruised my ribs. By yesterday I had to go to the doctor and make sure they weren't cracked. Good news was my ribs are ok, just bruised. My pneumonia is all cleared up and he put me on Vicodin. Right now I'm feeling real good 
It was nice this week to see a bunch of activity on the men's forum. I appreciate the helpful conversations. It makes me feel we are all together in this journey.
Anyway I am down 2 lbs this week ( seems to be my default lately )
Everyone have a good week and keep up the chatter.

Well, hello gents! Did ya'll miss me last Sunday? Sorry to have skipped out. It was my birthday weekend and my wife took me to a friends beach house in Galveston for a 4 day weekend. That was my first time I had any alcohol since surgery, and did pretty well the first time. Had crown and coke zero, and didn't have any issues. Made the decision to keep it light and not drink too much, and actually held the line on the scale when I got home. It was a weekend of a little bit of alcohol, a few cake balls, and good times.
This weekend I was out of town again at the in-laws house helping my father-in-law tear down an old building on his property. Something I would never have done. Now, I spent the weekend on the roof taking off the roofing tin and in general doing manual labor. It was AWESOME! I outworked him both days, and it felt great!
So this week I am at 3lbs down, but that is after having breakfast, lunch, a snack, and almost all of my water for the day before I got home to my scale. So.... heres to the next week!
Best of luck, gents!

Hi Guys,
Tough, emotional Week. On Saturday attended Memorial Service for Mother who had passed. Tempted to gourge on a lot of food, but kept in mind the ideas of Mindful Eating. So a slight gain of 1 lb is ok w/ me. I am trying to keep my maintenance weight 2-3 pounds below or above 200, which I am good with.
Good week in the gym. Ran 3X all about 3 1/2 miles. Training for a 5K in the next month or so....Just stunning when I weighed almost 350.
Hope you all have a good week!
Best,
Bill

Hi Gents,
Sorry for your loss Bill, hope your next week is better.
My Stats:
High weight: 296
Weight at initial consult 1-19-2012: 269
Last week: 240
This week: 237
Total weight lost: 32
I had my weigh-in on Tuesday and the Doc was very pleased, she said "look at you losing all that weight"... Signed my consent form and off to the Anesthesia Doc on the 10th, then next stop is operating room. Had a **** week emotionally and have to find a way to get centered before my surgery date. Anyone who has kids around 18 knows what I mean, you love to see them become adults but it is never easy.
Loss of 3 for the week, no real schedule, gym, or diet, just chaos.
See you losers next week.
Brian

Hi everyone, my weight loss continues. Slow and steady, I have done a lot of travel in my life, I have to say The Cayman Islands is the best location to date that I have visited. While it was for business and I was working for the most part, the trip was very relaxing.
Mike, I love flying, I hope your flight was uneventful and you were able to take a lot of pictures. It looked like anice day to be up.....should have been smooth air and no strong sun to make picture taking difficult.
Hope everyone has a great week......

Oh yeah, it was a perfect day and the flight was flawless. I think I snapped over 500 pics. We flew over Gillette Stadium then headed to Plymouth and landed there for breakfast. Came back over the Cape Cod Canal and along the Southcoast then followed the Taunton River back up from Fall River back home. It was awesome and the best part was that I fit without a problem with seat belt length to spare!! Great stuff!

-3.6 pounds this week after a 0 the week before!! I have "mini" stalls, but I weigh every day so I actually seeing it going UP and down all the time with my occasional "low" days. I was back at 225.x this morning for instance.
Glad to see it go down and I did my measurements yesterday as well.
My chest has gone from 60" down to 47 I think it was, waist from 54" to 42" (38 pants), and I lost a good bit during the month of March.
I lost 10 pounds in March, so weight loss SEEMS really slow but when I look at it from that perspective, I am pretty happy with 2.5 lbs per week on avg 6 months out from surgery!
Kind of interesting to get closer to the infamous 210 pounds, which is the low end of my Doctor's estimate! (210-245 based on 30-40% excess weight loss on avg for RNY)
If I lose at this same rate, I should hit his number mid May! Possibly hitting ONEderland in June at some point!! Crazy...
