Weigh-in
Sep 26, 2007
I haven't posted one of these lately, though I've been keeping the ticker at the top up-to-date.
Down another 4lbs since my last weigh-in, for a total of 117.6 lbs in 30 weeks. Now in 2XL shirts and 44/46 pants (I was in 60's when I had the surgery, and 63's when I moved from Virginia to New Jersey!).
My credentials file at Westchester is complete, and I will probably start working mid-next-week. Life is finally resetting itself into some kind of order.
I am... content. For now.

I bought a home scale today. I didn't know they made home scales in the 400 lb range these days - I always remember 300 being the max, so I was waiting.
Anyway, in the almost-three-weeks since my last weigh in, I'm down 7.2 lbs, for a grand total of 103.2 lb in 27 weeks. I broke through 300 lbs, and I broke the century mark!
This is also one of the nice scales with the body fat estimator - it tells me my body fat is 39.4%, so my lean mass (if I had ZERO fat - skin, muscle, bone and organs) is 178.4 lbs - which is why I think 175 may NOT be a reasonable target for me, unless I'm planning to LOSE a certain amount of muscle. With that amount of lean mass, at 20% body fat (high normal for a male my age), I'd be 214 lbs.
Hell, if I never lose another pound from where I am right now, I have nothing to complain about. I haven't been in Twoterville since college.
Oh, yeah, and a big NSV - when I flew home from Syracuse last week, I was able to use the airplane seatbelt WITHOUT an extension!
