Still shrinking

I haven't posted in a while so I need to catch up. I am currently down to 268# and on target to be down to the 250# mark before China. After my surgery, I slowly crept back up to 287# and knew I had to do something else. I will give more detail later, but I (with Laura in full support) have jumped full bore into a plan where I subside on around 1000 calories per day in a controlled program. In the first 19 days I have lost 19# and 5 1/2" off my belly.

I am encouraged by what I see in the mirror and the scales. That would be the scales at Courthouse. Our home scales still just tell me "ERROR" when I step on them. I did get a reading finally the other day and it said I weighed 125#. I really miss some of the foods that I can not have, such as peanut butter, but it will be worth it in the end. Enough on this for now, I will provide all the details in another post.
