Today is day 236 of MFP for me. Several months ago I finally listened, read, researched ... And started eating more and lifting heavier. I'm celebrating day 236 .. Which was my starting weight a yr ago coincidentally, by going public with my weight. I'm striving not to lie about my weight again. It's a number. It's not me. The scale LIES.

I've blogged about it ... It's just easier. 236 size tight 16 last April. Knee replacement last March. Size 8 and not done yet. My weight?? You may be surprised ......

Eat, lift, toss the scale ...or at least put it in it's place

    Rock on!

    My wieght hasnt budged in 2 weeks since i started eating more. However, for the first time, I measureed myself last sunday.

    Now today is the day I will be measuring myself when I get home (same time I had measured last time during the day) and I am crossing my fingers to see a difference.

    Stories like this give me much hope though! I could give a flying fluck what I weigh as long as my disgusting fat belly is gone.

    Mike ....you rock on !! Takes a little while for the body to adjust. Patience isn't one of my calling cards ...but I stayed the course. Are you weight training ? Please DO !!!!
