The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In
July 6th!
[Thanks Guys for all the words of encouragement for year 5 aniversary!]

...just in your first weeks home?
Hang in there,
It DOES GET EASIER!
.... just hitting your first stall?
It happenes to many....
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!


Yes, 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

So, What about YOU?

Best Wishes-

Hi Shum,

Best Wishes,

Hi Dx and Everyone. I haven't posted in about 3 weeks.  During that time, I've fluctuated between 190 and 195.  I've been in this range since April.  So I think I'm stabilizing here.  Today I'm 192.  I'm still following the same nutrution plan.  And, I am continuing my weight training.  I've also started to ride a bike and am having a ball with it. Overall, I'm down 164 since surgery, and down 183 from my highest weight!

Tom

331 / 321 / 251.6 / 245.4 / -6.2 Hvy / Surg / LW / TW / Difference Guess it is due to hormonal dumping but I have been really depressed last few days.  Calling PCP tomorrow about tweeking anti-depressants.  Don't know if it is related to futile job search, holiday stress or what but sent the Mrs. and dog over to my mother's to get them away from me.  Tired of being married.  Know it is "cheaper to keep her" but may be time to split the sheets after 16 years, 21 with dating time.  Dog coming back this afternoon.   

Don, Just remember Love is Grand, Divorce is a couple Hundred Grand! Keep things in prospective, no rash decisions when your not 100%. Just Words from your Big Bro! C'ya Bob Today's Weight 174! 

Thanks Bro.  As heard once before "Why is divorce so expensive?  Because it is worth it!"    See post on SBAAWLS, sex board, for further.

Been here for a long time...

At least the scale isn't going up

In the last 10 days my family and I've had 1) my 3 sisters-in-law over to visit for 3 days, 2) gone to my brother's company's very well stocked deer hunting ranch to spend 3 days with he and his family, and 3) had my parents in for a 3 day visit. So I haven't even come close to having my eye on the ball in the last 10 days. Needless to say, I was expecting my first major plateau or even maybe a bit of a gain. Jumped my ass on the scale this morning and got a very pleasant surprise. Pulled the tape measure out of the top drawer and got another one.  Pre-op Consult 10/31/07: 455 lbs Day of Surgery 11/26/07: 442 lbs - 67" waist 10 days ago 6/26/08: 292.4 lbs - 50.5" waist Today 7/6/08: 285.2 lbs - 49" waist In the last 10 days I've lost 7 lbs and an inch and a half  from my waist. Someone posted on here one time that they really accellerated their weight loss by working on their house. Must be something to it, cause I've been painting the o/s trim and also took down an ailing tree this wknd. My 73 y/o dad was trying to work my ass off so that he could feel like he was still useful. Down 170 lbs total and first time waist measurement has been under 50" since June of 1993. 

Good day all, My body is still losing pounds and inches.  I've made 5 days working out this week - per my doc's orders. I couldn't be more thrilled with my new anatomy! Here's the numbers: Highest/First Consult:            378 Day of Surgery:                      330 Last Sunday:                          292

Today:                                   284

That's 8 pounds this week, 46 since surgery, and a grand total of 94 pounds overall.  I'm hoping to cross over the century mark by next week!

Have a great one and be sure to keep hydrated in the heat!
