Weight: 306.1 lbs ( 138.8 kg) BMI: 39.3 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: X Lunch: Bratwursts, Pork Rinds, Queso Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, 20oz Diet Dr Pepper Sober Year 1 (Day 575) Keto Month 4 (Day 136) (186/365 Days 2026 Keto) Weight was up a little bit this morning, but within the normal fluctuation range. Kind of to be expected with the amount of salty food and drink I consumed yesterday. I forgot to mention in yesterday's post a customer noticed that I was losing weight and asked me for my secret. I told her that I was focusing on Keto, pretty close to carnivore as I don't expect people to recognize the term “Ketovore” and she sneered at the idea of doing carnivore because supposedly her ex-husband was doing carnivore and he was just going around drinking glasses of blood. I don't know of any vampiric tendencies in the carnivore community, but for me I just stick to the meat. She just shutdown any...

Weight: 304.0 lbs ( 137.9 kg) BMI: 39 Waist: 52 in ( 132.1 cm) WtHr: 70.3% Breakfast: X Lunch: Bar-S Hot Dogs, Pork Rinds, Queso Dinner: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 574) Keto Month 4 (Day 135) (185/365 Days 2026 Keto) Got distracted by Fallout New Vegas. So won't be able to say much in this post. But good to see the weight finally go in the right direction. Didn't track time very well this morning so I didn't have time to cook anything for lunch today. So I grabbed some hot dogs, pork rinds, and queso for lunch. I don't know why it took so long for me to try the combination of pork rinds and queso. There was a crazy lady at the store. She spent about four hours shopping up two whole cart loads of groceries with two little children I feel bad for the kids trapped in the cart with the crazy lady. People were saying that her children were running around throwing stuff into her cart. When she finally ...

Weight: 306.4 lbs ( 139.0 kg) BMI: 39.3 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: X Lunch: Rib-Eye Steak Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 573) Keto Month 4 (Day 134) (184/365 Days 2026 Keto) Finally a day that had a weight that was lower than the beginning of the month. Sure the weight has been under the start of the year for most of the year. But for most of this month the wight has tracked upwards. I think it might be a bit soon to tell if today's weight was the result of the TMAD diet finally taking hold. I was dreading trying to come up with the courage to call the dentist to cancel the plan for the implants as throwing around numbers all day yesterday just didn't make it look like I was able to afford the two $11,000 payments and I wasn't sure how the $620 payment plan that we discussed fit into everything. But they had called me this morning to tell me that they needed a couple more X-Ray sca...

Weight: 309.2 lbs ( 140.3 kg) BMI: 39.7 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: X Lunch: Baked Chicken   Snack: Member's Mark Hot Dogs Dinner: Papa Murphy's Keto Pizza Drinks: Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 572) Keto Month 4 (Day 133) (183/365 Days 2026 Keto) Skipped the coffee this morning as I was going to the dentist.   So I went to the dentist this morning. After the X-Rays, scans, and poking the doctor had determined that the teeth are a complete loss. The only way foreword would be dentures or implants. It's hard to say that they railroaded me into making a decision right away. But the implants sounded like a good idea at the time and they talked about financing and it looked like it was going to be $620/month for 75 months. Then they said that before the first surgery to remove the teeth would require a payment of $11,000 and then after I healed six months later I would have to pay another $11,200 for the implanting of false teeth. It seem...

Weight: 311.0 lbs ( 141.0 kg) BMI: 39.9 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: X Lunch: Bratwursts, Pork Rinds, Queso Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Sober Year 1 (Day 571) Keto Month 4 (Day 132) (182/365 Days 2026 Keto) Had a hard time falling asleep last night. Once I fell asleep I was down, but flopped around quite a bit. Had a strange dream this morning. I don't remember much about it as I didn't have time to write it down this morning before work. I do remember that it took place in the house that I grew up in my teens. I remember yelling at Roommate about how he was having other people were moving in without consulting me. I remember yelling in the dream and jumping awake hoping that I wasn't yelling out in my sleep as soon as I woke up I realized it was a dream. I worked 10:30 to 7:30 so that was two hours after I woke up to do anything, but I just couldn't wake up. I had psyched myself against doing ...

Weight: 310.1 lbs ( 140.6 kg) BMI: 39.8 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: X Lunch: Italian Dressing Marinated Pork Tenderloin, Jar Queso, Pork Rinds Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties Drinks: Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 570) Keto Month 4 (Day 131) (181/365 Days 2026 Keto) First time in a while when I went to bed and immediately fell asleep and then slept all of the way through the night. Tooth still hurt a little bit, not as bad as previous days. Again I thought about going ahead and skipping that dentist appointment on Tuesday. But that's just being cowardly. Tooth flaring up like that really needs to be addressed. It's just a new thing that I've never done before so I am a little nervous about it. I did sleep well last night, but the sleep just kind of stuck around for a while. I worked 12 to 9 and before work I just kind of sat here not doing much. Not really tired, tired. Just hard to build mental momentum to do an...
