265.5

droped again, no surprise - again not a perfect day but close... on tract today and down 8.5 after day 2, again need to lose 15 week one. 6.5 to go :)

268.5

did good yesterday (not perfect) but good... lost 5.5 - need to be 100% on it today. the goal is down 15 by next friday, i wish me well :D

274 :(

well - sadly i have gained back much of the weight i lost this year. hard to admit this but - oh well, posting here helps me to get on track so i must. i'm going to give it my all again and i've learned a hard lesson (i hope). i was actually down to 227.5. i got stuck there - stayed there for almost 2 weeks and this really killed me. i was totally on the diet and lost nothing. i realize now - ha, would have been happy to just maintain that. instead gained back almost 50... in just 7 months, scary. i'm determined to get it started today, day one 274, if all goes well i'll lose 15 by next friday - that's the goal. i'm back though - and on it!

232

on track again :) 232 this morning, i'll be at 228.5 by next tuesday. and two weeks from then, back in the teens, which is to say back to my pre-africa weight :) in a couple more weeks after that point (5 weeks from today) i'll be back to my goal weight. i'll seek the skin removal surgery at that point. hope insurance will approve.

236

back again, after a weeks lapse, this works it's just tuff to get on, i've been pretty solid now for the last week. actually stricter then i normally require - i'm just trying hard to get back on track, then i'll move to the 500 calorie approach. i was hoping to be down to 233.5 by sometime today. i'm 2.5 pounds away right now. i'm going to stay strict till i reach the 233.5 point. then back to my standard.

back on it 238.5

last week (tuesday) I was at 245.5, finally got back on the diet - droped to 238.5 today. i'm about 7 weeks away from approching the docs here where i work about getting the skin removal surgery... it's suppose to be quite painful, looking forward to it. great to be back in the 230's. by next tuesday i need to lose another 5.

242

i have had a "few" set-backs - came off the diet, getting back on today. despite that the weight has been going down, hope to be back into the 230's by sometime next week. :)
