Go see the Doc on Nov 9 and was hoping to be under 230 right now I at 235 so still possible.  Just have to stop granging on snacks at work I don't so much at home on week ends.  I'm in a size 34 pants and almost need a belt.  wish me luck...Love to all my OH family

November will be one year, and have lost one of my small adalt students 145 lbs.  I go ona vacation next week to help the High School's JROTC at camp.  Will be able to do what they want and not worry too much about getting hurt like I would have two years ago.  I like the feeling that I can go do something with out hurting my back ot feet do to the weight I was at.  Seven years ago I was playing at church with the high school group and tripped fell spained my wrist from the weight.  The other two leaders (I feel are close friends) came running making sure I was okay.  But said they felt the grown shake when I hit the cement.  I thought they were full of BS but were they????  I now run from the cummuter train to get out of the parking lot as fast as I can and not get winded.  I fell great I see pictures of me and see me but when I look in the mirror I see me 15 years ago, and wonder.......     I now have a new group of students and the group I was teaching a year ago is about to move on and they say they can't believe the change.  I want to know how long it takesto see the new me with out see a stranger??  It will be great to see family soon that really havn't seen me for two years.  Hope all is good with all of you...


Love Scott

Well sorry to all my friends I have stayed up on this I found Mafia Wars on FaceBook.  So I havn't been good about keeping up with you all.  I have lost a few more pounds and hoping to keep it going.  Down to 235 from the scary 377 the pants are all big and the belt got a few more holes in it.  I'm to cheap to go buy a new one and this one is telling a story.  Mostly to me, and I don't want to get that big again.   So glad all are losing keep up the great work, I'll have to get a new picture for the avatar to show you what I look like.  I'll try to be more faithful to my OH family.

Love Scott

Well to day I had my 6 month follow up with the surgeon. He was very impressed with what I looked like and all three pages of my blood work. Eight vials and six times in the arm to get what they needed. He had said that he wasn’t sure if it was me, and I told him I get that a lot. Then he was impressed with my weight lose and said that I could be his latest success story. I’m not sure that about that part but you never know.   He quizzed me on the way I eat and what I eat, and drink. Because after I eat I can’t drink for a half to a hour, so it very important to get it right. Due to my diet I have changed the girls’ way of eating too. Tonight we had sloppy Joes (I don’t get the bread) with sweat potato fries. The sloppy joes had beef, onion, mushrooms, tomatoes, and some bar-b-que sauce in it. Real good flavor from Michelle the good cook, chip off the old block head. So a great day in all.   I saw a guy that was in the same pre-op appointment and he did great to have lost 80 lbs. He was amazed at my lose of 120 lbs, but that is the difference between the band and the sleeve (I had the sleeve). But he also looked good. So if you see the guy in the picture it is me not someone that looks like me a few years ago. 

Well I'm at a point were I never think I would be at ever again.  I weighted in at 255 the other morning and feel so good and that I'm amazed with the feeling.   I am down 12 inches around my waist and down 3 shirts sizes.  I want to lose about 50 lbs more and know it will come off over time.   I am so glad that the weight is coming off just need to stop eating the little hand fulls of nuts.   But at least it is not candy I guess.  Hope all of you are doing as well.  God is good all the time and it does show in his love.

Well on my Anniversary I weighted my self and found that I left 272 and found 268 on the scale.  GREAT!!!!!!  So now my pants are loose again.  Such a great feeling, to keep dropping the weight and having to tighten the belt another notch.  I also tried a 1 xl shirt and it fit man what a feeling!    All good, feeling great. more energy, and more cometes all the time not just friend and family but the students that I had in my class 6 month to 1 year ago.  The word Skinny was a insult but now I just parade around strutting.  Boasting is not good in Gods eyes, so I need to thank God for keeping me Healthy because it is all him and not me.

Love to all Scott

Well if what I rhink I waighed is right I made it down 100 lbs this week and one week away from my 4th month post-op. feeling great and still wanting to lose more.  I hope all of you are doing the same.

Scott

Well I made it to 3 months past my surgery and have lost 100 lbs.  Still fill great, and I had a visit with work health check and had great numbers.  Colesteral was 127 my glucost was 102 the only number that I need to work on was the HDL was 31.  The doc said I had the lowest colesteral all morning and he thought I might have to counsel me about my weight but then I told him that I have droped 10 points on my BMI since last May and he didn't have much to say to me after that.  So I have done so much in 3 months and want to do more.

Well almost 8 weeks and feeling great and I'm down to 292 lbs.   I'm doing every thing but excersizing so thats the next step.  Want to ride my bike again but the weather is sure weird these days.  So I haven't been so good at that but want to soon.  The newest picture is showing me at a different weight but a big shirt doesn't realy show much loss.


Love to all, Scott
