Weight: 310.4 lbs ( 140.8 kg) BMI: 39.8 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Italian Sausage Spinach Soup Dinner: Johnsonville Double Cheddar Smoked Sausages Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 469) <nice> Keto Month 1 (Day 32) (76/365 Days 2026 Keto) See, that is the kind of daily fluctuation that I'm okay with. Today's weight is only 0.3 lbs (0.13 kg) up from yesterday. Being up two to three pounds a couple days in a row and then being down two to three pounds each day last week was weird. Happiness is not a number on the scale, but it is a relief to be back under the “morbidly obese” number. I did go ahead and update the “Short Goal” down to 300 lbs (136 kg) When I was waking up this morning I was going to go to the Landlords office. I was laying in bed telling myself that I needed to get up and going. The lazy side of me was trying to tell myself that I real...

Weight: 317.2 lbs ( 143.9 kg) BMI: 40.7 Waist: 53.5 in ( 135.9 cm) WtHr: 72.3% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Johnsonville Double Cheddar Smoked Sausages Snack: Cashews Dinner: Sierra Soups Mama Sorrenti's Minestrone Drinks: Kroger Seltzer, Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 465) Keto Week 3 (Day 28) (72/365 Days 2026 Keto) Another jump again on the scale. And up in the waist. I'm trying to not let myself get too worked up about a couple of days of the weight being up. It is severely annoying to be not only back above the Morbidly Obese level, but back above the “Progress Goal” I'm trying to remind myself that the current weight is better than it has been in years, it's just I'm not liking the trend for this week. I know that it's just a couple of days, but I don't know if it's some kind of rebound or if maybe I've been doing something wrong or something. Reminding myself to take some Vitamin P as Dr Berry calls it and jus...

Weight: 310.2 lbs ( 140.7 kg) BMI: 39.8 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs   Lunch: Johnsonville Double Cheddar Smoked Sausages Dinner: Baked Chicken Drumsticks   Drinks: Salted Apple Cider Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Monster Sober Year 1 (Day 461) Keto Week 3 (Day 24) (68/365 Days 2026 Keto) I was dumbstruck when I stood on the scale this morning. Ladies, Gentlemen, In-betweens, and Undecideds: I am proud to announce that I am no longer Morbidly Obese. For the first time in 10 almost 11 years I woke up with a weight that has a BMI under 40. This morning's weight was 310.2 which is a BMI of 39.8. Still obese, so still a ways to go. But at least I'm finally seeing progress. I'm kind of impatient this morning as this Thursday I'll be paying the monthly bills for April. It's exciting I'm finally “regular” obese as opposed to Morbidly or Severely Obese whatever they call it now. And in a couple of days all of the bills will be paid a...

Weight: 330.2 lbs ( 149.8 kg) BMI: 42.4 Waist: 55.5 in (141.0 cm) WtHr: 75% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Sausages Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Keto Week 4 (Day 29) Sober Month 4 (Day 123) YMCA: No Had another disturbing dream last night, or rather this morning.  In the morning while I was drifting in and out of sleep I had these weird dreams where I found online where you could find Batman Memes. And found a GIF where Val Kilmer's Batman would wink at you when you opened your phone. And in the dream I dreamed that it was $600 for these memes, but I didn't buy them. But then I "woke up" in the dream, so dream inside dream I checked my balances and I had bought the $600 Batman memes, and then spent another $800 X-men memes. I woke up, truly woke up, in what felt like having a heart attack immediately checking my bank accounts. There'...

But only when I first stood up. Was excited to see another record low for the year. Still 8.4 lbs (3.8 kg) from the lowest weight of last year. But I'm still glad for the progress for the year. When I woke up this morning my right ear felt plugged up. Nose was drippy all day long. Not enough snot to get a good blow to clear the entire thing, just a bit of annoying little stream. I was really tired the first half of the day. I'm not sure if it was the weather or what. The last couple of days was really warm and sunny. Today was dark and cloudy. The ambient temperature wasn't that bad, but that wind was biting. The Google Doodle today celebrated World...
