Sunday Weekly Weigh-in!
The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In 
August 24th!
[Congratulations to All for your accomplishments this past week!
And Welcome to All who have recently Joined.
I'm keeping A "Weekly Weigh-in" here
as well as on the New-Men’s-Board
Because many of the Guys,
Both here and there (newly arriving from OH)
Have used it for over a year
to keep track of their changes, and see how they and others
are doing over a sustained period of time.
Sorry I missed last week...
In the Hospital with an intestinal blockage...
Another surgery on the horizon for me...
Probably Christmas Break. "Happy Holidays..." My Ass!
Oh well, I've had worse....
...just in your first weeks home?
Hang in there,
It DOES GET EASIER!
.... just hitting your first stall?
It happenes to many....
Eventuall you will be able to
Scan back over the last months of this weekly post,
And get a fairly clear picture of the fact
that there isn’t a "Typical" progress,
Just 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!
and a Big Smile-
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
Me?- (saturday night weight...)
186.5 (Thought it would be more with last week on liquids then advancing back through pureed..but my favorite is Cream of Wheat with protein powder...so a lot of carbs this week...)
So, What about YOU?

Capricious; Impulsive, Semi-Predictable
Going on a motorcycle ride this morning. Up early and the scale says 317. Down about 5 this week. Down 43 since surgery. (One day less than 2 months.) Down 71 from high. Down 64 in 74 days. I'm getting the hang of how my weight loss is going. Not as much as some but it's coming off pretty good. About 20 month one, and now 23 more in the second. I was afraid that based on others' pattern that month one should have been bigger but ....."I got what I got. Might as well use it for all it's worth". Since then, much more pleased.
