CALORIES 1692 CARBS 260 g FAT 40 g PROTEIN 138 g Sodium 2318 mg

Starting Weight: 346
Current Weight: 196
Difference from last week: Down 3 lbs.
Overall difference: Down 150 lbs.

So my plateau-busting strategies are working so far. And, 150 lbs. off is my magic number, I was waiting for this before calling my doctor and asking for a referral to a plastic surgeon. The surgery would not happen until early next year, for insurance purposes (plus I want to be done or almost done with the weight loss before then), but during this time period I can go to consultations and start making arrangements and making up my mind as to who will do it. I need an abdominectomy pretty badly already, and it's only going to get worse.

Not my best today.
See you tomorrow.
