Ok, doing better-put a finger in the dam. Would like to get back under 250, but considering it's this time of year I'll take staying around where I am until after the holidays, but I'm gonna keep on trying! JETS won an ugly game - but they won! So sad I've accepted such a low bar-but I am a JETS fan!! 
Stuck to a few days on I.F. and low-carb. Only way I can maintain this time of yea but staying away from the sweets are the hard thing. There is a Chocolate Mousse in our fridge at work staring me right in the face!!
Last week it was a pumpkin cheesecake! Keeping my Atkins Endulge candy bar by me so I can at least eat it when I get that sweet tooth! Oh The Pain!!!
Who said this was the "easy way out"?

Lose skin is the trade off for better health. If there are not any problems related to the skin breaking down, rashes, infections and you are comfortable in the lose skin, or can live with it, plastics are totally optional. I was told I "deflated well" by one plastic surgeon I conferred with. Could use the cottage cheese sucked out of my thighs but 1. I've lived it with it for 10 years and 2. I'm a wus when it comes to pain!

Still bouncing around in the same neighborhood I've been hanging out in since the end of September. Liked how my gut looked at 180 and had set a new new goal of getting into the 170s (previous goals 200 and 185) but I think that may not happen. I don't like how poochy my gut is but absent plastics I don't think there's much to be done for it. I have a decent sized pile of skin at my midsection. At 180 it looks fairly flat (albeit very wrinkly) at 185-190 I progressively get more muffin top over my shorts.
To be honest other than my vanity about my gut I could probably stand to put on a little weight (especially upper body muscle).
Not sure what is going on in Football this week. I hope for great games for all who follow the progress of the pigskin and for a great rest of the weekend for all of us.

I guess living right is paying off. 
Okay, maybe not living right but because of how much time I'm stuck in the office and the limited lunch options where I work protein bars are my lunch go to. Haven't even touched a "dude food" in months. Able to get back to normal routine on treadmill this week. Except for Monday. The Mrs. had gone to quickie oil change place to have flat fixed. Nail in sidewall so not fixable so have to replace soon. They put wheel back on car and she left. They forgot to tighten the lug nuts!! Calls me and tells me wheel came off and she is on side of road. Luckily when it came off it went across four lanes, three travel and one left turn, of traffic without hitting any other vehicles and came to rest in front yard of a house. She got it to the shoulder like she should and stayed calm in the process I might add. Load on roll back to take it to body shop at dealer then went to tire change place. Being very cordial and very cooperative regarding getting things fixed both at local and corperate levels.
We'll know shortly but it looks like LSU, Ohio State, Clemson and Oklahoma will be the final four in football. Will stick with the SEC to go the distance. I give you the Alabama and Georgia NCAA Championship, and Cowboys Super Bowl t-shirts for this year!
Have a Great Week you bearers of the prostate gland! 
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!! 
Think in the context of WLS it would be walking across the rice paper without tearing it up! 
..so when i can snatch the peppermint patty from your palm I'm ready??? 
Thanks, gotta keep it all in perspective!

On a ROLL- as Jim Carrey says in the Mask: "Somebody stop me!!!" I had finally gotten under 247 lbs and then "BANG!!" Over 6 lbs in 4 weeks!!! Gotta stop this roll-eating too many sweets on job that everyone is bringing in. "Somebody stop me!!!"

Back to the grind today. We were away for the weekend and then yesterday, I had kind of a short day because I had an eye doctor right in the middle of the day and couldn't go back to work with my eyes dilated.
Ate some carrot cake with icing on Thanksgiving, which left me feeling not very good for about an hour. Hopefully, that will be a lesson learned.
Have a great week, everybody.
