Scott in Florida - 39 weeks

[scottinflorida]

Down just .2 pounds this week.  Hey, you can't call it a plateau if the number is still going down!  I knew the rate of weight loss would slow down as I got closer to the goal anyway.  My mini-goal now is to reach my goal weight before I'm at 52 weeks.  That means losing about a pound per week for the next 13 weeks.  I should be able to do that.

I don't think I have mentioned this previously, but there has been another nice benefit to losing 67 pounds... I don't snore any more.  That's a benefit my wife is really appreciating!

Hope you guys have a fantastic week!

You know you are not the first person that has told me that.I wonder what the correlation is between snoring and excess weight?? Does the whole body just have to  work harder??Very interesting.So it must be cool to say I only have 12 pounds to lose 

[scottinflorida]

Yeah, it is an interesting thing to be able to say, "I am only 12 pounds overweight".  Feels kind of weird.  A good weird though!

I read about the physics of snoring once, just don't recall all the details.  For most people it's simply the fact that there is fat in your neck.  At least that is one of the primary causes.  I think it's generally true to say that fat people are more likely to snore.  The more fat you have around your neck, the harder it is to breathe.  My wife is a light sleeper anyway, so she had many nights of not much sleep.  We're both happy those days are over!

Go Scott!... Go!!!

BTW, my wife tells me I'm snoring much less loudly than I did before.
And when I do snore, it's no longer that "sleep apnea kind" of stop-start mid-breath snoring either!

Since FAT accumulates just about everywhere in our bodies, fat deposits around the larynx surely must aggravate snoring.

Congrats Scott!  Every little bit counts!  Yes, since my husband has been on board with this program he is snoring much less and much quieter when he does!  He is now down to ONEderland also, he's happy!  It's amazing what issues weight loss fixes!

Congrats Scott and Jen!

It is so amazing what loosing weight can do and change in your life. It's like taking a virtual prison away that we made for ourselves. We all so rock! 

[scottinflorida]

Sherrie, if we all rock, you must be the leader of the band!  Look at you - 195 pounds lost!!!  5 pounds away from your goal!  I know I feel great, but you must be just about busting out with happiness!  That is amazing!
