Highest: 407 lb
Surgery: 5/17/10
Last week: 180.0 lb
This week: 182.4 lb
Fluctuation this week: +2.4 lb
Total loss: 224.6 lb

A second week of small gain; however this puts me right at the center of my comfort level 180-185 lb mark. I'll need to watch diet closely to make certain the upward movement does not become a trend.

The next couple of weeks may be a test of sorts for me. I have a going away party for my son, who is moving to Virginia Beach for a new job. Then, Saturday morning, I leave for a 5 day vacation. Being off schedule can be an issue for me, so I'll need some extra vigilance during this time.

Hope you all have a great week and that your team recovers all the fumbles this afternoon.

I slowed down dramatically at about four months but kept on losing for over a year.  The slowing down is a good thing in a way.  It gives you head time to catch up to your saggy ass!

Bouncing around within my tolerances.  Because of still being a body short at work my schedule has been radically altered from the norm for the duration.  Needless to say I'll have to adjust accordingly.  No problem not going to work till after lunch.  Problem is staying out till wee hours next morning!  I'll be staying up way, way past my bed time.  It has been a long time since I've done 12's.

As to the Super Bowl - may the better team win!

Hello Guys:
Another 1.25 down this week. I am really concerned that I am not eating enough. Even a forcing myself to eat more protein shakes and real protein I am not getting many calories in. On the other hand I feel really good and am very happy. I did a call working last weekend on the symphony which was lots of hard busy work like setting up chairs, risers and humping big instruments about (think kettle drums) for a hour and a half and didn't ever break into a sweat. I used to be soaked after something like that at +300 pounds. Come to think of it, unless it is after a work out at the gym I don't sweat much at all any more.
I am almost at my first goal or check in point. I want to be under 250. I can sure feel the difference and have been getting a lot of hugs from ladies I know. Which I think is nice than getting hugs from total strangers.
Enjoy the Superbowl, I am not sure who to cheer for since I don't have any favourite teams playing - Someday Seattle will be there - ha!
I may not be checking in for about four weeks, so keep working on your plans and have a fun time today with the game.

Highest weight: 428
Surgery weight 11/3/11:  386
last week: 336
today:  334
Loss - 2#

down another two. Not bad, but not setting the world on fire. I need to remind myself that that is a good amount. That would be 104 pounds a year from now, which would have me near my goal in less than 18 months.

strong in the diet exercise department, increasing the weight training

keep up the good work guys!

The super bowl? well, all it is to me is a sign that spring training is around the corner!

 Great job Daniel!!  Keep it up.  It is pretty cool to have a great support team here, like we do.  Lots of knowledge and no drama.

Bill

100 LBS Total !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just feel like I won the Superbowl of weight loss!! I finally hit that 100lb loss. I know I still got an uphill climb, but I am so excited.  We took photos today to mark the success.  I visted my Doc and the NUT this week.  Iron was a bit low and he also wants me to add a B-50 multi.  I'm hoping those changes will add some energy.

A note on protein that I was unaware of.  My Doc said that you can only absorb about 25 grams of protein in one sitting. The rest just gets flushed out through the kidneys.  I was putting about 45-50 in my morning shakes, but half of it wasn't being used.  I now know better and have made the changes.

Have a great Week!!
