Sunday Morning Weigh In - Summer is Here Edition

 Congrats dude!!!

Highest: 323lb
Last Week: 286.8
Today: 280.2

I guess I made it through my first stall with only a .2lb loss the week previous to this.  I'm now back in Costa Rica and back to work.  We have big news as we are importing new equipment in the next month.  I'm very excited as the new equipment will allow us to bring more water to the people most in need.  Water is such a simple thing that we can take for granted so easily in the states. 

and on another note:  

CONGRATS DON!  Thats awesome I wish you luck as you start another journey with your fiance.

Thank you, Blake!

An interesting weekend so far with WLS highlights for me. First, I spent Friday evening outside at a restaurant in the Houston heat and humidity. Two hundred pounds ago, I would have been *****ing about the unair conditioned walk from the cart to the front door of the place. Sitting outside comfortably was a FART for me.

The next day, I helped a friend move a house full of furniture. Again, not something I would have even attempted before. Not that moving is any fun at all, but it was a surprise to be able to help and keep up with the younger ones.

I seem to be having some acid issues over the last few weeks...at
least I think that's what it is. Taking something over the counter hoping it will stop, but so far no luck with that. It's odd in that it occurs each morning only, and generally stops by around 10 or so. Of course that may be about when the pill I'm taking about 8 begins to kick in. Maybe I should vary the time of the pill to see if the relief is actually related to the pill. They are supposed to last 24 hours but that time released stuff sometimes doesn't play well with RNY. I'm also concerned that I am on my second two week flight of pills when the box says not to do a second two week treatment for several months. I held off one day before it got bad enough to begin round two.

Have a good week guys.

Down 2 lbs.  Pretty stoked about it.  I have definately slowed the weight loss, pretty significantly.  However, I am very happy with where I am.  If I didn't lose another lb, I would be happy, although I would love to get to 200lbs.

Pretty tired today, as I didn't get home from my best friends b-day party until 0445 this morning.  I think today is going to be a relaxing day of not doing much...

Have a great week guys!  I am off to check the weather reports to see if a hurricane or tropical storm might be in my future...

Hope you and Ken dodge the bullet on any type of storm.  Jan was in "lock down" at the hospital she was working at when Ike "visited" the Gulf Coast.  Had to contend with many a storm growing up in New Orleans.  Ever heard of a storm named Camile?

 Congrats Don, Wishing you many years of happiness.

Hi guys,

Boy, you all lead more interesting lives then me. Congrats to the soon to be newlyweds. And nice FARTS all around.

Down 2 lbs this week. Not bad considering I feel like I was eating constantly yesterday while traveling.

No big FARTS this week ( other than the gassy type )

Everyone try to have a nice week and see you next week or sooner.

Hi Mike-Great Post brother!! 7 pounds in a week now that is truly impressive my friend.

Hope the party was fun today, beautiful day for it!

Yours in WLS,
Bill

Thanks Bill.  Yes, my daughter, her friends and her entire Blue Jays team had a blast.  It was funny when they took over the DJ station and were all doing line dances.   Great day and we ended up with five additional girls spending the night.  I think they are all back in the pool already (7:30am)!!  Good Stuff!
