I'm headed off to the Gold Strike Tomorrow Night!!! Have a Great One! Where was I? Oh Yeah, Weigh-In! I know that using the scales can make some crazy, (Slower loss is Still Loss!) -But- Keeping track and forcing myself to "Watch It!" Has been the "What works for me," for maintaining my loss. I'll eat, but know that I need to exercise a little bit more If the numbers climb just a little. That way, I only make "Little" adjustments to my weekly routine. If the "Scales Make You Discouraged?" Then STAY OFF of Them! But for those who Are weighing in- Drum roll--------------------------------------------------------- Hop your Azz up on the Scales! How much have you lost? Since Surgery? Or in Pre-Op Diet? And has the Scale moved this week for you? If so, How Much? My Starting Weight? - 385 + All Time Low - 179 Today? - 183.5! (gotta Love digital) So, What about You? (NEW GUYS AND LURKERS? Scan back over the last months of this weekly post, And you'll get a fairly clear picture of the fact that there isn't a "Typical" progress, Just massive, persistent, overwhelming - PROGRESS!) (Plateaus DO BREAK!) (Congratulations in Advance!!) Here's to a Better, Happier and Easier New Year For us All! Best Wishes- Dx

Happy New Year It has been an interesting year in my journey. The only unfortunate thing is that my back went out on me Friday and now I am back in the darn wheel chair again. It really has me depressed, especially since I got the bill yesterday for my last injection two weeks ago for over five thousand dollars. I am scheduled to go back Tuesday to have the other side done. The doc and I are going to have a very serious talk. The injections just are not doing the job. Here is my positive report. Starting Weight on Nov 5, 2005 : 450 lbs. Current Weight: 257 lbs. Total Loss: 193 lbs. My goal for 2007 is to get the back fixed and back to exercise so I can get down around 200 lbs. Dan

Good Morning Gentlemen, I thought I was doing pretty well going into the Christmas weekend but by Tuesday morning I was up 4 pounds. There is nobody to blame but myself as I drank a few toasts and ate what ever I pleased (mostly the right foods and in small amounts, but still too much). I'm not beating myself up over it as I enjoyed every minute of it. The fellowship with my family, and especially playing with my granddaughters, was priceless. I managed to get back on track for the rest of the week and have returned to my last week's weight. Pre-op: 321 Last week's weight: 217 This week's weight: 217 Lost this week: 0 Total Lost: 104 Happy New Year Everyone! May Your Lantern Burn Bright, Paul
