Well as of a week or so ago I have lost 61 lbs according to the doc's scales.  I look in the mirror and see the same guy staring back at me, little more gray hair but still the same guy.  Everyone else goes ape over my weight loss and I am still wondering what they see that I don't.  I go back to the doc in a few days for next checkup, need to go jog around the building a few times prior.  :-P

I have noticed the cloths not fitting the same.  Some things that were tight on me last year are now falling off of me.  I have went cloths shopping some in the last month and I am wearing cloths now in sizes that I wore in High School.  That I guess is the most impressive part of this as far as self image goes.

Another very big thing that has happened is that I seem to be more at ease with the movement with my prosthetic now.  It doesn't bother me near as much as it used to.  Actually mostly now it is almost completely pain free.  Think it boils down to my excisive weight caused a lot of pressure on my leg and stump area and now that it has lessened considerably the force isn't as bad. 

Just wish now my balance would get better.  Hate having to occupy one hand with my cane but till I get more balance back and strength in my leg area, will just have to carry it.   Gives me something to swing at all the whipper snappers.  :-D

Something else I want to ask y'all about and see if you have an opinion/answer for.  With my weight loss and buying new clothing I have found that I am buying cloths based on things not directly related to the clothing purchase.  For example in buying pants, you normally buy pants by looking at the waiste size and pant length.  I can't do that now, I have to buy pants in relation to how they fit my legs.  My right leg has gotten rather muscular and thick and normal size pant legs in a waiste size for me are way too tight and I most times start doing the Incredible Hulk transformation with them just bending my leg.  So now I buy pants based on the leg size and fit resulting in some baggy saggy seats in the pants.  Anyone experienced this have any advice beyond what I already do?  I know it doesn't help being 6ft 9in tall with a 30-31in inseam either, but nothing I can do about that.

Well I have just noticed I am about to start writing a book so I will cut it off here before I have to start asking for an advance.

Y'all have a good one and remember we are only limited by our desire and deviousness.
