Sunday Weigh in

I am a little shaky on the levers of power here but trying to start the weekly thread.

I meant to spend the weekend treating and painting my garage floor but a busy work week put those plans on hold. Ended up with kind of quiet weekend and saw Han Solo last night.

Last week 305.4

This week 304.4

Next week i may be traveling and unable to post. So everybody enjoy the Fourth of July holiday

There are no levers of power, at least on this sub forum. Beware the flying monkey squadron on some of the others though.

Last week I was on the road, so I only had a guess of about 264, which is close to where I was (have been) for a while. Today I was 262 even. Yesterday I hit my lowest ever of 261 for the third time. I've been pretty stable at 263-266 since January. My surgeon told me I didn't really have anything more to lose at my 18 month checkup in April. So I am content.

Last week: 184.6

This week: 185.4 AM (183.6 After yard work)

Nice little drop there for half a day's labor. Granted it is a little "balmy" here. Balmy as in 95+ degrees with little humidity thrown in for extra measure. Have to be careful on the eating front especially at work. Mind you where I work we've only had one eatery - Mexican. Now the "café" is back open. Frankly too damn hot to want to eat food anyway. Tried it twice. Hamburger steak was little too grisly and fish was little greasy but edible.

Have to see what happens schedule wise next week. Hopefully I'm done ghosting new guy.

Go forth and have a Great Week!

It was a great week. Eating well, getting lots of work done. Yesterday morning I was at 195. Yesterday evening was a buddy's pig roast. I did well eating mostly meat, but maybe a little too much of the delicious salty crispy skin.
Good week to all.

I was traveling yesterday so I couldn't weigh in. Today Wasn't bad at 213, up about .4#

Two more weeks at home, then I start traveling a little bit again. I'm a getting a little bored with the new job, so getting out and working with people will be a welcome change.

Start of 6 month pre-op diet (2/14): 320 lbs.

6/18: 283 lbs

6/25: 287 lbs

This weigh-in was my 1st true reality check since I started this journey in February. My first significant gain (up 4 lbs) and a reminder of how I have struggled with weight loss the past. Not sure what it was exactly. When I concentrate, I can get myself down to the mid 280s, but it seems like getting beneath that range is where I have troubles. The heat has kept me a little less active with my lunchtime walks, but I'm still working out most mornings. I'm still keeping my calories down, but I did have more carbs and less protein that what I had been eating previously. I need to focus on my eating this week and make smarter choices. Disappointed but I know that its all mental. If I can't do it now, I know I wont be able to do it after VSG so I must get my head straight again. I only have 2 months to go before I can apply for surgery to be covered by my insurance company.
