400 down, less than 100 to go

[Axxe55]

That's not a problem, is it?

Seriously, the first time I heard someone say "How many fat 90-year-olds do you see?" it really hit home.

For a long life, be skinny. You are blessed, my friend.

H-O-L-Y S-H-I-T !!!!! That's a LOT of liquid. Well over 2 gallons a day. You have a "trucker buddy" to keep the bathroom visits to a minimum?

Wow!

Doc weighed me yesterday, like she does every 3 months.

I have officially lost more than 400 pounds.

I was oddly underwhelmed at the news. I thought I'd feel like celebrating but I don't. Instead, I'm mostly looking forward to the home stretch.

Just wanted to share.

I don't know how I missed this until now. Wow! Good for you! My father died from complications of obesity, 64 years old and 450+ pounds was just too much. How'd you do it?

How'd you do it?

I briefly hit the high points answering that question In this post. And as long as that post seems, it really is a very, very abbreviated overview.

 

[TEXAS "All or nothing"]

Keep striving!

That's a hell of an accomishment - don't sell yourself short. In this modernity - it's easy not be about it. Keep on keeping on

Any updates?

Any updates?

I've been holding steady. I consider that to be progress since my primary medication increased in price by $450 per month, an amount I felt I couldn't handle. However, after a few months without it, I've come to a deep appreciation of just how much I need it. None of the substitutes have worked worth a damn and if I don't get back on the good stuff I expect my progress to start going backwards.

If you see me selling guns, well, now you know why.

Huh?

 

[benenglish]

Weight 230
TC/HDL Ratio 2.5
LDL/HDL Ratio 1
Total Cholesterol level 133 mg/dl
HDL level 54 mg/dl
LDL level 54 mg/dl
Triglycerides 167 mg/dl
HDL/Tryglicerides ratio 3.1

Tryglicerides are up 22 and HDL down 12 since January. Endo said "Well, at least you're still losing weight."

I'm happy I'm getting measurably stronger.

But I'm still wondering what I did wrong. Diet hasn't changed much if any.

Back to the drawing board.

 

[benenglish]

Huh?

F'ed up my first draft.

 

[Vaquero]

Awesome!
You'll probably outlive me.
