Week 22 Post Op

Well this week continues on a good note. I lost 2 pounds this week bringing me down to 376 pounds. My goal for the year is to get down to 300 lbs which I am working on. Not sure if I will make it or not but that's not that big of a deal to me as it is to continue losing week after week. It's been a long time since I have been below 400 lbs so long that it might have even been as far back as when I lived in Colorado Springs which was about 8 to 9 years ago.

 

I have really been enjoying the early morning walks. I tried jogging one day but my body just isn't ready for that yet. I do look forward to the day when I can enjoy jogging but for now the brisk power walks is doing me good.

 

This week just passed the 5 months anniversary since my surgery. I'll have to take some more updated pictures. Well onto the next week.

 

Ok so the totals for this week....

This week 2 pound lost

Current Weight - 376 lbs

Loss Since Surgery - 66 lbs (22 weeks)

Total Weight Loss - 109 lbs

Way to go Pete! you should be very proud of yourself! I bet you look great and feel even better! I am a little over 8 weeks out and have lost 23 pounds- 11 of that was pre-op but I have had many NSV-non scale victories! keep up the hard work! Blondie2

Congrats, Pete - you must be really happy you made this decision. When you see these silly weight loss commercials on TV, you can see it's almost impossible to lose this kind of weight "the old fashioned way." Good for you - keep posting! - mscarly
