The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In

You guys are doing great, I can only hope my experience will mirror yours.  Keep it up. Sonny

Good Morning Gentlemen, The scale didn’t move all week, but it did this morning.  It must have been all the “Honey Do” projects Mrs. G had me doing yesterday. Day of surgery: 321 Last week's weight: 212 This week's weight: 211 Lost this week: 1 Total Lost: 110 May Your Lantern Burn Bright, Paul

Congrats on your "loss".     I have been watching for a while and it is a good thing because it has been creeping up.  The other day was 248.  That is 11 over my low.  It is time to buckle down and I am thinking about O.A. because I think I have an addiction issue that I can't figure out.  If I am not eating, I am spending money.  Anyway: High 375 Aug 05 Low  237 July 06 Yesterday 248. (with a jacket and in the afternoon)

Not sure of the loss for the week, as I bought a new scale and missed last week's weigh-in as I was moving. Take care. JP

I learned an important lesson this week. The number of calories that you intake is a very important number, but equally important is what kind of calories! We ate out twice this week. We ate once at a Chinese restaurant, and once at a Pizza Hut. I kept the portion sizes small at both places, but when I looked at the nutrition charts, the calories in both places were very high in fat calories. The results speak for themselves. 7 days with an average caloric intake of 1175 calories resulting in a net weight GAIN of 0.6#!! I think that will be about enough of the eating out!

Whew, Its been over a month since I have last weighed in.  My weight loss has slowed considerably but I feel great and  have moved past a couple of plateaus.  It is good to see that I am still moving in the right direction.  Which is down.  Whooo Hoo!! Highest weight: 327 Weight at first consult (June 2006): 321 Weight at day of surgery: 311 Todays weight 18 Feb 2007 239.3 88 lbs lost since my heighest weight and 72 since the day of surgery.  This is the best thing I could have done to save me from myself.  Thanks to all those who have supported me on this page
