TWO, what a wonderful number



Recommended Posts

Morning Gents. 297! $%#@^&%*&^!YEAH!!! This is the first time there has been a "2" as the first number of my weight since 1993. All sorts of great numbers are happening in close proximity. 18# ago I hit 200 lost, 2# ago I broke into the 200's, in 2 more # I will have lost 2/3 of my extra weight, and in 4 more # I will break through to the 30's for BMI. All that yumminess from a guy who was 515 10 months ago. SO YES BOYS, GREAT THINGS DO HAPPEN...Now onto my next goal. YEEEEEeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaa....(that's me driving off to the gym).

Keep up all of your hard work 'cause I want to hear your success stories too.

I started in s-t-r-e-c-h-y 5 x, now mostly 2x, except for button up cotton shirts, 3x. I could wear 2x button up shirts and only stand! They pull across the belly when I sit. Thank God I just pushed my "these are too small now" clothes to the back of the closet as I was getting bigger because they are now the vein that I am tapping. However, that supply (as am I), is dwindling. E bay is a godsend for "these will only fit me for three months" clothes. I found some nice things I didn't have in my stache.

@@DavidOso Outstanding! That is terrific news! Breaking the 300 lb threshold has to feel like a great achievement!

@@Thucydides I see you started 3# heavier than me. You have JUST 31# to go to break into the 200's. You are right, I have felt very "glowy" today.

Hit the "2/3" mark this morning (220# lost). I had a t-shirt made yesterday with the 2/3 in great big football numbers, it is being worn to the gym today.

Question for the international crowd(possibly with British ties), How much does a "stone" weigh? I have heard of people losing "blah-blah stone", but just have no reference for how much that is. Thanks.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
