The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In
The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In 
September 28th!
Congratulations to All for your accomplishments this past week!
I'm keeping A "Weekly Weigh-in" here as well as on the New-Men’s-Only-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.
I've been off the Boards Mostly working on the Presidential Debate down here in Oxford.
Thank God it's passed!
Life can begin to get back to normal....
...just in your first weeks home? Hang in there,
It DOES GET EASIER!
.... just hitting your first stall? It happens to many....
Eventually 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!
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?-
188 (back up one pound....a lot of extra snacks this week! Saturday night weight)
So, What about YOU?

Doing pretty good weight wise. Between 196-197. Still would like to be down to 190. My heart isn't to great. I go back into the hospital on Wednesday for another cath-lab angiogram. My pulse is pretty low...54-46. We'll see what happens. I am ready to meet the Lord...but He want me here, I am ready for that too. His will be done. Brian
Hey guys.
I know I have been away for a while.
Things have been busy this summer.
The last couple months my weight has settled and I have stayed about the same.
My body seems to have found a weight it likes.
I average right around 235, I have gone back up as much as 240, and my altime low was 230.4.
Yeah, so close to seeing the 220's, but I am feeling good where I am.
It now I just work at maintaining in this ballpark and I am happy as can be.
Starting weight = 435
Today's weight = 235
