This is a blog of my journey of fitness which began on January 28, 2007. I estimate my weight to have been 380 lbs. My weight-loss goal is to reach 190 lbs. My plan is to reach that goal by living a fit lifestyle. This lifestyle includes healthy eating ("diet") and an exercise routine ("working out"). In the end, I hope to be around half the man I was on 1-28-07.

Week 58 Weigh-In
Last Week's Weight: 252.8 lbs.
Today's Weight: 257.2 lbs. (+4.4)
Total Lost: 122.8 lbs.
Fat Ratio: 24.9%
Lean Mass: 193.2 lbs.
Fat Mass: 65 lbs.
Waist: 49 inches
Okay, I think I have rebounded from the sickness. I am not bothered by the gain. In fact, I am relieved by it. My thinking is that the weight loss during my illness was in great part due the loss of liquids and solid matters that would normally be in my system. In addition, because of the lack of exercise and sustenance, I was afraid that I would have lost a lot of muscle. I suspected and hoped that my weight would creep back up to where it was before the illness. I am sure I lost some muscle anyhow, but I am thinking it wasn't too bad.
We are not all healthy yet. My wife is still nauseous. My one daughter who had survived it all finally came down with it in her ears. The baby is sick as well. I still have this sinus thing hanging on, but it is getting better. I did some weight training this morning, and plan to do some running after work. Once I get back into a routine, the numbers will be a bit more meaningful to me. The strange thing is that my hips went down an inch, but my waist is the same. I look forward to the day when my waist is smaller than my hips.

Glad you're starting to do better. The head-thing (sinus, cough, runny nose) hit me a few days ago. I think I'm on the back end of it, but I ache all over inside from the coughing.
The scale is back behaving as it should for you. I'm not getting on this week as I don't feel well enough to care about it, honestly.
I'm glad to hear that things are starting to return to normal at your home.
Good to hear you're feeling a bit better. Hope the fam catches up with you soon.
Good luck with the weights and the running!
This has been a terible cold/flu season everywhere it seems. Hope you all get better soon.
