Weight: 303.5 lbs ( 137.7 kg) BMI: 39.0 Waist: 52.5 in ( 133.4 cm) WtHr: 70.9% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Johnsonville Double Cheddar Smoked Sausages, Pork Rinds Dinner: Swedish Meatballs Drinks: Apple Cider Salted Coffee, Monster, Sparkling Water, 1.25 L Coke Zero Sober Year 1 (Day 531) Keto Month 3 (Day 94) (144/365 Days 2026 Keto) Great number on the scale this morning. A new record over the last 12 years. Only 16.5 lbs (7.5 kg) away from the lowest weight on record. Saying “Only” in that context seems silly writing it out, but so far I'm down 18 lbs (8.2 kg) since the beginning of the year and down 28.7 lbs (13 kg) from this day last year. I'm making some rocking progress on the scale, but I seemed to have lost the tape measure again so I'm not sure how the waistline is doing. I just carried over the number as that isn't a very dynamic number. I still would like to find it so I can measure properly. I worked 9-6 today so I was going to try to wake up ear...

Weight: 307.3 lbs ( 139.4 kg) BMI: 39.5 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Bar-S Hot Dogs Snack: Cashews Lunch: Jonsonville Double Cheddar Smoked Sausages, Pork Rinds Snack: Savage Slim Jim Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Monster, Sparkling Water, Red Bull Sober Year 1 (Day 524) Keto Month 2 (Day 87) (137/365 Days 2026 Keto) Good drop on the scale this morning. Dropping under the average for the month. Still up for the month, but under the average. And a reminder why one shouldn't really sweat too much on the daily fluctuations. I had to work at 9am and unfortunately I pulled myself out of bed at around 8. So I had to pretty much do the wake up and run out of the door kind of wake up that I was trying to avoid the last couple of times I was scheduled to work the 9 to 6 shift. And as I had to jump out of bed and then out of the door I didn't have time to have the proper breakfast with the coffee. So as the day got started a headache started developing. When I got t...

Weight: 308.4 lbs ( 139.9 kg) BMI: 39.6 Waist: 51.5 in ( 130.8 cm) WtHr: 69.6% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs https://youtu.be/l5bQ0Y0FXWQ Lunch: Johnsonville Jalapeno Cheddar Smoked Sausages, Kroger BBQ Pork Rinds Dinner: Mixed Nuts Drinks: Seltzer, Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 489) Keto Month 1 (Day 52) (96/365 Days 2026 Keto) Did fall asleep pretty good last night. Had a bit of a hard time getting up this morning as I was just so comfortable. I did have an argument with myself because it is my day off, but if I lay in bed all day I'll get frustrated that I didn't do anything when I was off of work. I was slow getting up and going around. It was about the usual 8am by the time I got out of the bedroom, but was still slow getting around. By the time I got up and going it was kind of late to get coffee. I did get the laundry done today. Which is a bit quicker now that I'm doing it weekly instead of monthly. I also managed to take the inventory of the meat I have in the garag...

Weight: 323.1 lbs ( 146.6 kg) BMI: 41.5 Waist: 53 in ( 134.6 cm) WtHr: 71.6% Breakfast: Strip Steak and Eggs Lunch: Stuffed Bell Pepper soup   Snack: BBQ Pork Rinds  Dinner: Pork Steak Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Low Carb Monster, Sober Year 1 (Day 416) Keto Week 1 (Day 10) (33/365 Days 2026 Keto) I was able to wake up just in time to cook that strip steak and eggs. But was only able to get half of the pot of coffee before I had to run off to work. When I got to work there was a bit of confusion of what I was supposed to be doing as my schedule online said that I was in the service desk for just about the entire day so I wore my apron, but when I got to the front of the store and saw the paper showing the list of where everybody was supposed to be it was showing that I was supervisor the entire day so I went back to my locker to grab my supervisor vest however when I got back up to the front the list was showing that I was in the service desk all day. It turn...

Weight: 330.0 lbs ( 149.7 kg) BMI: 42.4 Waist: 54 in (137.2 cm) WtHr: 73% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Bar-S Hot Dogs, Spicy Pork Rinds Dinner: Bratwursts Drinks: Salted Coffee with Cream, Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster,Sugar Free Red Bull, Sober Month 7 (Day 238) Keto Day 1 I'll be so glad when Fall comes and takes out these damned flies. Last night just after I posted one got caught on the fly strip that I have hanging from the flower hook I have on my living room ceiling. Damned thing was buzzing like a live wire. Roommate was screaming at the toilet again this morning. As I was awoken early and I'm working later than normal (12-9 instead of the usual 11-8) I decided to go ahead and thaw out the freezer as the ham steaks and vacuum sealed ground beef that I had in the fridge seemed to have started bloating their packaging. This is a sign of out gassing which is a sign of rot. The fridge has been warmer than it should have been over the last couple of days but t...

Weight: 335.4 lbs ( 152.1 kg) BMI: 43.1 Waist: 57 in (144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: Bacon and Eggs Lunch: Baked Chicken Dinner: Cheeseburger patties and pork rinds Drinks: Salted Coffee, Kroger Seltzer, Keto Week 3 (Day 22) Sober Month 2 (Day 83) YMCA: No I pretty much passed right out when I went to bed last night. But the phone says that I didn't fall asleep until after 2am. It also says that I didn't get any “deep sleep” I do feel a lot better today than I did yesterday. I was planning on going to the YMCA while Roommate was at his doctor's appointment as he usually goes quite early in the morning. But today his appointment wasn't until 11am and by then I was already dressed and had breakfast and I was too busy coming up with other excuses for not going. I did get around to messing with the 3D printer. And was able to get it to print off the two front top pieces of the Master Chief Helmet. And I found that the printer has a handy feature as it connects to...

Weight: 340.2 lbs ( 154.3 kg) BMI: 43.7 Waist: 57 in (144.8 cm) WtHr: 77% Breakfast: X Lunch: Baked Chicken Dinner: Cheeseburger Patties, BBQ Pork Rinds Drinks: Kroger Seltzer, Sugar Free Monster, Sugar Free Red Bull Keto Week 1 (Day 9) Sober Month 2 (Day 70) Had a pretty good drop in the weight this morning. It is always nice when you wake up and have to poop. Always satisfying to poop before weighing in. It is a bit odd because I usually have to poo AFTER I weigh in. Of course after I have breakfast and a pot of coffee. So reweighing in would be pointless. And now that the post has started off on that brown note, I have to say that the waist is kind of down as well. It's closer to 56.75 inches (144.1 cm), but I round to the closest half inch (1.27 cm). I didn't have time for breakfast this morning. Roommate had to go to his daily clinic. I was going to do grocery shopping while he was going to his appointment. I was going to go to the 30th street store, but they were al...
