19 Jul 2019 In spite of my transgressions this week, my weight today is 312 lbs, which means I've lost 138 pounds since my all time high. I'm celebrating because my walking is going well and I weigh only 312 lbs! I'll be under 300 lbs soon! :)

18 July 2019 Yesterday was a bust. I ate way too much, and I'll let everyones imagination run rampant. Today, I've had a half cup frozen blueberries. Have already done 30 minutes of aerobic arm exercises, and some chores. I feel OK again; though, ...

Yesterday I ate too much, about 1600 calories. My wife brought some Chinese food home from a luncheon with colleges. It had a little chicken and I ate it. Today I feel weak and a bit dizzy. My glucose is OK. I don't understand why I'm not feeling OK....

15 July 2019 Could not hold a fast yesterday, but I did keep my calorie intake to about 1200. My experience yesterday, trying to fast and failing shows that I am no better than others at using willpower to restrict calories. The only reason I can ...

Something happened! I can lose weight, but a few years ago I could not. The first time I remember being overweight is in fifth or sixth grade. I'm a bit taller than average for a man, 6' 1" (1.85m) and weighed about 200 lbs (90.7kg) out of high ...

Yesterday I ate too much, around 1500 calories. This morning I'm not hungry, and decided to try to fast for 36 hours, till 9:00 am tomorrow. I've fasted for 24 hours, so 36 is a challenge.

For the past few weeks, I've been using my manual wheelchair, instead of the electric, which immediately made my muscles ache as they had not done much for many years. Yesterday, I decided to start walking again, and it feels great. I'm still ...

Yesterday I used my manual wheelchair for a doctor's visit via lyft, just two miles away. Just two days before, I'd decided I had to retire my power chair; the left rear caster bearing, that is supposed to swing free, is binding, making that rear ...

I just got an alert that said desertastronomer joined BO. However, he doesn't show up on the member list, and he doesn't allow messages. If he can see this and is still a member, Welcome to Battling Obesity.

Thought I'd drop a line again. I'm still losing weight, and I greet each new member; although, I am not posting here often. I think Dot is doing a good job as moderator.

Normally I send a message to everyone who joins BO. (I did't make up the name of this group.) A new member Green13Purple does not allow me to send her a message. Thus, I'll do it here. Welcome to Battling Obesity Green13Purple.
