The scale is highly over rated.
CaliforniaChief only checks in once per week. I don't know what his goal is, but here's his first post from a few weeks ago, and one from last week telling of his progress for the week.

-Once weighed 385 pounds.
-Auditioned for "Biggest Loser", made it to the final cut where I had permission from my employer to take 17 weeks off, family was good to go.
-Didn't make the final cut.
-As a promise to my wife, I hit the gym, changed the way I ate, and got down to 270 pounds.
-Got lazy, stupid, and ultra fat again.
-Developed a condition in my foot that required complete reconstruction of my Achilles tendon.
-At my pre-surgical appointment, I weighed *gulp* 417 pounds.
-Had the surgery, got really depressed, and almost gave up.
-Got motivated and now am at it again with changing the way I eat (calories in < calories out) and now I'm at 380.
-I ride the stationary bike every morning (intense) and am dropping about 5 pounds a week.

I'll update as I weigh in, but I need the accountability but like the idea of it being in here. Appreciate your honesty and encouragement.

I can't afford to go back again. I have to make this stick and last for the rest of my life or there won't be much life left. Fortunately I've avoided diabetes/heart problems to this point and want to keep it that way.

Thanks again.
