DAMN! A thumb drive....I'm screwed. Looks like I'm zombie food.

You beat me to the punch: Gastric acid is a digestive fluid, formed in the stomach. It has a pH of 1 to 2 and is composed of hydrochloric acid (HCl) (around 0.5%, or 5000 parts per million), and large quantities of potassium chloride (KCl) and sodium chloride (NaCl).

This is an interesting post. I've been on this site since July. I do log everything but I don't necessarily log everything as I go. I've begun to have a sense of how many calories I've been eating for any given meal. For example, I logged yesterday's dinner and snack this morning along with breakfast and lunch for today. I…

9 pages of posts on the word "hubby". I find it kind of endearing when my wife calls me hubby.....I get called different things when she's mad at me....not that that ever happens!

I would not worry too much. It's a one-time event. Won't make a lick of difference in the long run,

Doesn't look like you're eating enough, especially on heavy workout days.

Lose the booze, lose the chocolates, add some fruits/vegetables.

Save yourself a lot of aggravation by not wearing anything metallic that can set off a metal detector like belts, costume jewelry, etc.

Congrats! I too find that my doctor's reaction to my weight loss is a wonderful motivator. Good work.

An amazing story. So much dedication and work to reverse a lifetime of issues. You should be very proud of your accomplishments. Hopefully the joy you find in your future will be greater than the pain you've endured.

Just a suggestion, have you gone for a full physical recently, including blood tests. Maybe something is "off".

Meow! BTW - I find her annoying too. LOL

Same here. I don't think I need a wide shoe anymore.

Bit thin skinned, aren't we?

If you're still over 200lbs I want your camera! You must be very tall because you certainly don't look like you're over 200 lbs.

What I notice most is the lack of fruits and vegetables.

Congrats! Looking forward to the day when you post again about how you had to throw that belt out because it's too loose. :bigsmile:

You should be proud of your accomplishment. Good work!

WOW - good job bro. Keep up the good work!

You're on a roll! Keep up the good work.

Thank you for the well wishes. Looking forward to my January appointment & hopefully more good news!

Welcome! Here's a little quote for your consideration: “There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when it’s convenient. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results.” – Kenneth Blanchard

Absolutely spot on! If you deprive yourself all the time it's much worse. Have 1/2 or 1/4 of a cookie and go for a walk at lunch to burn off a few calories.
