Status Report - DOWN 29

Well, just in the unlikely event someone comes along and reads one of the previous posts, I thought I'd post current results. Today (6-27) is the 103 third day since my medical event, and I weighed 322 with clothes at the hospital emergency room (I weight myslef there because my scale simply assigns a random number between 320 and 325 every morning).

322 lbs with clothes is 317 in real weight. Either way, I have lost at least 29 pounds ("at least" because I don't know how much over 350 I weighed). My target is one pound every three days, or 34 lbs since day one - missed that. But 103 days is about 14.5 weeks, so I have lost 2 lbs a week and that is good. I also weighted 328 pounds in the doctor's office just two weeks ago, which means I have hit 3 pounds a week over the last two weeks - which is also not bad.

I assume my weekly loss rate has gone up mostly because I am now gaining muscle at a slower rate (I was pretty feeble in the beginning) - but also I continue to get a better handle on my calories, and end up more days 200 - 300 calories under, and I walk a lot more now - last week it was only 14 miles mostly due the the weather -but that is way under the average 18.3 miles/week of the previous month.

Well that's it = I just keep cranking along!
