Busy Sunday again so I am running behind, but I did make it onto the scale. Last week I passed 18 months since surgery. My wife took a few progress pictures. This is 264 lbs and a BMI of 35. In other words, the BMI chart says I am still obese. 
Last week 265 1/4 lbs
This week 264 lbs
Last week: 188.0
This week: 189.2
Can I use the 187.8 from yesterday before I started in on yard work?
Foot of snow? Wow! We had cool front blow through Friday night that dumped 1/2" of rain and dropped the temp down but no snow but it was windy enough to give Mr. Clean a bad hair day! Was desperate to get yard done since rained out last weekend. Had a sweat shirt on over long sleeve t-shirt and wore cotton gloves trying to say warm.
Week not bad. Managing to get in more walking with GF working but taking a toll on the knees doing so. Work is still work. We are losing one end of this week but his replacement is already on board starting in the morning. Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, I don't have any thing to do with the training here. Will answer questions if asked but as far as initial training above my pay grade. "I'm advisory - not supervisory." Tomorrow afternoon is firearms qualification.
Have a Great Week, Gentlemen!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!

Good week of eating and moderate exercise, except for Friday evening, and yet a gain. Lots of rain and grey sky, but at least no lasting snow. Trying to stay positive.
Good week to all.

Pretty solid week with food and exercise. My weight is basically the same. Its been tough to keep tracking my calories with all the eating out, so I'm concentrating on being mindful.
Another foot of snow yesterday with blizzard conditions. This sucks. No way I can get my bike out yet. I just signed up for another 50 mile ride in June, so I need to get started with training.
Start of 6 month pre-op diet (2/14): 320 lbs.

Exercise: A+ (Got 30+ minutes of exercise every day and hit 10K step goal on 6 out of 7 days)
Last week I was 266. This week was 265 1/4. It has been a week of lots of driving and sitting with Mom at appointments. At least the sins of Easter Eating have been reversed.
As soon as I was cleared for exercise after surgery, I joined a gym. I hated it. I sort of knew I would going in, but the weather was turning cold and nasty here, so I knew outdoors was not going to be an option for regular exercise.
I kept it up for a couple of months and was good about going, but as soon as I was able to get back to work (I had a long break because of its physical nature) I dropped the gym and never looked back.
I've goofed off this winter, but we are FINALLY starting to see some possibility of warmer weather, and that means lots of outdoor activity including walking and biking.

It may not look like a good drop, but I will certainly take it. Ate salty food
yesterday (Kielbasa and Kraut) which usually kicks up the weight the next day, but
actuallu a few pounds down from highest during the week. Must be the workouts between my
daughters house and cleaning out my parents house. We filled a 20 cubic yard dumpster
yesterday at my prents old house, and need to order another one!
The workout does feel good both physically and mentally. I know I have said this before,
but I wish I coud get motivated to just go to a gym, but I just hate it. I lmuch rather
do something productive to expend the energy.
Looking forward to a good week.
Good week to all.
Congrats on the 10 year Surgiversary!
It is real life stories that help me understand the bumps in the road are normal.
Thanks!
