We’re six days away from stepping on the scale again. Once I do start again, I don’t have any plans to stop in the near or distant future.

I lost 144.4 pounds in 67 weeks between Jan 2009 and May 2010. I am currently taking a break from weighing myself until August 4. Want previous stats? Check out my entire 79 week weight loss progress.
I’ve rarely been late with a weigh-in, but we had no power yesterday after getting back from out of town. Apparently, storms knocked out electricity to our area Tuesday night and it was only just restored early this morning.
It’s a good example of how we have no control sometimes.
I’m excited, anxious, and a little nervous about weighing in again. I don’t really consider the scale the absolute measurement of my health anymore like I used to, but it is a measurement. I have built muscles over the past few months, so I expect to gain weight, but I know if I’ve gained 20+ pounds or more I can’t exactly blame all of it on my newly found muscles.
I’ll just wait and see how next week goes before I start guessing or making excuses. Hopefully, I’ve only gained about 10-15 pounds in my quest for muscles. Anything more and next Wednesday will be a disappointment.
I really appreciate all of you. Thanks for the support.

I picked up a weight last night at the gym, the same 25-pound dumbbell I have the last few gym sessions to perform a “one arm dumbbell row.” If you don’t know what that is, don’t worry, neither do I. It’s not important, anyway.
Just know it’s supposed to make you big and strong.
I picked up the 25-pound dumbbell from where it always had been, got back over to the bench and started the exercise. Only, something was off — it was too light — too easy to lift. I actually looked down and checked the weight.
“25 pounds” was etched into the iron.
I switched the 25-pound for the 30-pound dumbbell for a dozen reps and discovered it was too light, as well. I went to the 35-pound, which I kept using, as it managed to put up a little bit of a fight. I would speculate that within a few weeks I’ll be moving to a 40-pound dumbbell.
It looks like I’m not only moving forward, but moving up as well.
I’ve been sick the last 30 hours, but feeling much better this morning.

Still gaining strength week by week.
I’m really looking forward to start weighing myself every Wednesday. While the number doesn’t carry the same importance these days, I will still use it to measure progress. Starting in August it will be nice to not only look at the visual change, but to put a numerical value on it as well.
How’s your journey going? Losing weight, building muscles?
