Hi, everyone

I weighed 198 lbs on the scale this morning. Down from a high of 319. Surgery was Aug. 7.

The last few months have made for sloooooow weight loss, because my docs want me to get 145 grams of protein a day, due to blood work issues. But the weight loss is still coming, even if it's slow.

I've been exercising a lot to offset the 1500-1900 calories needed to get 145 grams of protein a day. I'm coaching my son's little league team, and I've averaged 10,000 steps a day for more than a month.

I've lost 14 inches from my waist and gone from 3xl to large shirts.

Thanks everyone.

Yes, I have to remind myself that this is the long haul, and "only" losing three or four pounds a month isn't a bad thing.
