I had my first workout in almost a week yesterday. I skipped last Friday because of a stomach bug.

I also weighed in: 253.8 lbs.

but I am going to post my stuff anyway.

I work from home, so I don't even get any exercise walking into or around the office like I used to.

To combat this, I have a trainer come to the house 3 days a week. I do 30 minutes with her (lower body, core, then upper body days) and then I usually walk a couple miles to get some cardio in.

At my peak, I weighed 261.2 lbs. That was on 4/24/09. I am 6 ft tall.

I weigh in weekly, so here are my last few:

5/1/09 258.4
5/8/09 257.2
5/15/09 256.2
5/22/09 255.6

Not a whole lot of weight lost (about 1 lb a week), but I have dropped inches.

I lost 2.5" on my chest (man boobs are shrinking )
I lost 2" off of my 'abs'. She swears they are there somewhere....
I lost .5" off my thigh.

These measurements were taken on 5/15. I weigh in again tomorrow.

The cool part (sorta) is how my clothes fit. They don't. I am falling out of my pants and my shirts are not - shall we say - 'form fitting' any more.

That's great. I need to get off my ample backside and get moving.

I am actually a little sore from yesterday. My back is aching.

you shouldn't lose more than 1 or 2 lbs a week - it would be unhealthy - so you are doing great!

Maybe so, but when you have as much weight to lose as I do it would be nice!

I weighed 165 lbs when I got married 16 years ago (I look like a skeleton in our wedding pics), so adding almost another 100 lbs has gotten a bit ridiculous.
