THIS IS UNOFFICIAL, but...

According to my home scale which I don't know how it compares to the doctor's scale, I now weigh 336 lbs. which means I've lost 14 lbs. (4% reduction)!

Tada!

Well, I had potato Soup tonight and had more than 2 oz. My wife got mad at me and said that I'm ruining this weight loss surgery. Yes, I had more than 2 oz. Maybe it was 6 oz. or 8 oz., but I don't think I've wrecked my surgery. I will be successful.

Well, the weight is flying off of my body. One week after my surgery and since I started dieting December 27th, I have unofficially lost 25 lbs. Yesterday, I took my dog for a walk from my house to my sister-in-law's house a few blocks away. I plan to walk the dog more often, so by the time I see my doc on the 15th, I might be down another 10 to 15 lbs.

Maybe I'm losing too quickly, but I feel fine. Today, I go back to work. This will be a challenge.

Okay, a new UNofficial weight. My home scale says I weigh 320. Officially, at the doctor's office with shoes and blue jeans on, I weighed 323.

I'd rather take the one I did at home in my shorts. :-)

Okay, as of yesterday, I'm now down to 315. At this rate, I should be down to 300 by the end of this month.

Care to share your daily eating plan?

Well, I weighed this morning, January 20, 2008, and now I'm unofficially 310 lbs. This means that I'm no longer morbidly obese. Now I'm just obese!

I'm not doing anything special except I'm not eating very much, I'm drinking lots of Water, and I try to stay active. At least more active than I've been in the past. It is getting a little easier.

I'm not too concerned about my next mini goal, but I know the third one might be a bit more difficult. After February, I'll return to "normal" eating and that might be my downfall. I don't mean to sound negative. I'm just trying to be honest with myself and by doing that, I hope to avoid failure.
