Its almost been a year since I posted last.  No excuse.  Still weigh in the 195 range.  Feel amazing and I can do anything!  Its nice to fit into clothes for more than just 6 months.  WOW....What a wonderful thing I did for myself!!

So I was in Atlanta last weekend and stepped on a scale.   Low and behold,  I lost another ten lbs.   ??????????????????  Surgeon already told me that my body would level off where it wants to.  Im not going to worry about it.

Lost another 3 lbs.  I guess my body will stop when its damn good and ready.  I have upped my carbs and protien intake to a level where I no longer need protien shakes.  I feel and look great.

It seems that I have leveled out at 203lbs.   Thats a total loss of 178lbs.  My one year comes up in about a month.  Not sure how I will celebrate.  Maybe some crackers. 

I finally took some pics of me at goal, or actually below goal.  I feel great and love the new me.  I just thought that I would share.  Thank you to everyone that has given me advice during this 8 month ordeal.  I would do it over again in a heartbeat!!!

So today is weekly weigh in day.  This past week I ate quite a bit more than usual.  I was very active but structured exercise was at a bare minimum.  So while on my way to the Dr office where I weigh myself I was dreading the outcome.  Over the past few weeks I have enjoyed a steady 2 to 3 pound loss per week.  Imagine my shock to see 6lbs gone.  Thats right.  I lost 6 pounds in 7 days.  Now in the beginning of this process for me it was not uncommon to lose that amount in a week.  At one point it would have been disappointing to only lose 6lbs.  However I am less than 20lbs to goal.  This is suposed to be the pounds that you have to work to lose.  So as of this morning I am officially 14lbs from my goal.

To date    
Down 12 pants sizes
From a 5XL shirt to just XL
From 381lbs to 234 lbs
All this in just over 6 months.

Today it looks like I have come out of my stall.   Last time I weighed in 7 days ago I was 274.  Today I was 266.  Do the math......8lbs in 7 days.  For those that are wondering what I am doing I have no answer.  I ate lots of pistachios and almonds last week.  I had some ham and beef also.  To be brutally honest with you I felt like I ate too much over the past week.  I was ready for a 1lb loss or even a break even number.  I was not expecting this.  Something else that I have recently done is add lots of coffee to my diet.  I found a new creamer that is amazing.  Its sugar free vanilla caramel.  Wait a sec I guess that I have been drinking lots more lately also.  I tried an off brand of lemonade.  Its a knock off of crystal lite and I love it.  Same numbers on the side of the can.  Zero calories etc......
All for now

Today I walked my ass off.  5 miles.  Never since boot camp have I voluntarily walked 5 miles.  Good for Paul.

Well I lost 2 lbs in 24 hrs to bring be to 299lbs today.  I can't remember when I weighed under 300.  I am so happy!!!!!  I feel almost obligated to give the credit to Dr. VerSteeg,  but it was me that went to him.  I saved my own life.  His skills allowed me to get here.  Big day!!!!
