UP, UP, AND AWEIGH!

Up, up and away out of control.   That was where my weight was headed when I went to bed on December 23, 2014.  Somehow, during a routine 'wellness' exam with my doctor on the morning of December 24, 2014 - I summoned the desire and the willpower to reverse my out-of-control eating habits and out-of-control weight gain.  Now it is my spirit, my energy and my overall health that is Up, Up and away!











After Superman saved the day, he often left the scene with the words, "Up, Up, and Away!"











239.5 lbs


I weigh 239.5 lbs.
I lost 5.8 lbs this week.
I lost 69.5 lbs in 80 days. Today begins Day 81.
I have lost 8+ inches on my waist. 
I wear 42" waist blue jeans - and it's definitely time to start shopping for 40" waist.
I tried on a pair of Columbia brand 40" waist pants that fit although they were tight. 
I wear a 16.5" neck shirt now, 80 days ago my neck was 18".
I am still at the beginning of a journey that never ends.
I weigh 239.5 lbs. (80 days ago I weighed 309 lbs)
I have lost 22.5% of my weight since Dec 24.
I have lost nearly 2.45% of my weight since last Saturday!
I have had an another spectacular week losing 5.8 lbs.
I have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 32.04 (still Class I obesity)
I had a 42.0 BMI on 12.24.14 just 80 days ago (Class III obesity)
I will 'graduate' from Class I obesity into simply 'overweight' in a few weeks (224 lbs)
I have two words to describe how I feel right now - wildly happy
...I know how to begin this week...
