Nice!

I am looking forward to the warmer weather, when I can get back out and do 5-6 miles per day. I've got a 3.2 mile loop that I rip out at lunch, and then any number of paths that I can do after work to hit the balance.

I never thought I'd enjoy walking so much. #OldGuyThings

It's true. Nobody tells you about that when you start.

They just weighed me this evening. The previous weighing had me at 302.7 pounds. Today, my weight was...










277.8

I am amazed. This is the lowest weight I've been in probably 20 years. I am kind of amazed, They do have me on one of the new weight loss drugs, Monjaro, but it's only supposed to offer about a 15% loss. 15% of 300 is only 45 pounds, and I have lost significantly more than that.

Whoo-hoo!

I remember when there were two of you, good going!

Commander, CONGRATS! Damn dude, that is awesome news.

On July 22nd, 2023, I clocked in at 251 pounds. I am happy to announce that last week I hit 219. I am up a little in the few days but otherwise trending in the right direction. I will check in with this thread should I see 209 on the scale, if I do that.

Wait WAT!?!! I dont believe either 251 nor 219. Neither seems even remotely plausible to me.

I am down from 210 to 170. I'm trying to find 5 more lbs. I dont know if I can get there. Its freakin hard.

Correction to earlier post.

Today they just weighed me. My weight is 321.8. Which makes very little sense. Yeah, I still eat crap that can cause weight gain, But I don't care how much I overeat, there are only three possible conclusions.

1. I ate enough to gain 44 pounds in 4 days.
2. This weighing is wrong and it is less.
2. The 2024-08-02 measure was wrong, perhaps the prior measurement of 302.7 was wrong. It could have been higher in either or both cases.

I'll presume the latter is the case. I don't like it, but I accept reality as it is, not as how I wish it was. I just remembered something I will check on: was the scale zeroed first? I know they did that on the prior weighing. Maybe it had an effect here.

One of the aides came back. She doesn't know if the scale was zeroed. I don't know if doing so makes any difference.

I have sometimes thought they should weigh me more often, instead of like once a month, it should be every week or two weeks. This would allow me to notice if I'm gaining weight before it gets too bad.

Axle scales have a margin of error of .1 to .25% so there's that.

All these "X% higher mortality" studies have always been complete BS. Last time I looked at one, it turned out I had to go and look at the actual paper and find the data, and that "300% higher" number they were stating was because the chance of dying climbed from like 1 in a million to 3 in a million.

LMAO. Science is no different than any other human endeavor. You present your work in a way that makes it look really groundbreaking, even if it's the most meh of all the meh.

That being said, I did in fact die. :^(

FACTS. As with anything, numbers can be spun to presents any flavor of the facts that you'd like.

And FYI, 57.4% of statistics are made up.

It's actually 62.4%.

By the way, they weighed me about 2-3 days ago. My new weight is...








281.4 lbs.

This is probably the lowest weight I've had in twenty years.

Lookit Commander, coming in under three bills! Keep it up!
