Day 104 - Weight loss seems back on track

I weighed myself today at 340.6lbs, which means I'm back on track for losing weight. My goal of 330 by the end of June is very attainable, especially with my new awesome pedometer coupled with the fact that I actually use said pedometer.

For a long time now, my default "walk" has been north from my building to Clifton Ave, crossing the Rocky River on that bridge, winding back down to a side street, back up to Detroit, and then back over the river and home. Despite entering new stride length into the pedometer, it's still telling me that it's a nearly 1.5 miles, when common sense seems to indicate that it's shorter. I may have to do the nearly unthinkable: take the pedometer to a high school track or other set length, and compare the measurement of my device with the known length of the course. Any suggestions as to where to find such a location in Cleveland will be appreciated.

One weakness of my current eating has been to no longer weigh my foods with the rigor I used to. This is fine for special occasions or when traveling, especially if I stop eating once full. It can be problematic when eating at home, for a couple of days in a row. I'm back on the wagon of weighing my food, so hopefully that will help. Even in a diet as strict as mine, there are still variations in how closely one can stick to the regimen. the big rule that I always follow is to stay away from carbs, and aside from small amounts of bacon and cheese, most fats as well. This diet isn't wild about me eating a 10oz steak, a 5oz filet, and then 6oz of pork, but that's just slowing me down, not derailing me.

One question I've gotten a couple of times recently is whether I'll be getting surgery to remove excess skin after I lose weight. I haven't thought much about it, as worrying about what to do after I lose 200lbs seems too close to counting chickens before they are hatched. Honestly, it's not a problem I'd be too crushed to have, as it means I've lost enough weight to need it. I think I'd consider the surgery, but I'd really prefer to stay completely natural. there is also the hope that my skin will naturally shrink back. Either way, worrying about it is like worrying about the taxes you'll pay when you're rich: one step at a time.
