Nov 28, 2024 before CHF diagnosis - 186 lbs shameless selfie!
June 1, 2025 one month post op - 150 lbs
July 14, 2025 - one month into cardiac reha b- 160 lbs
Aug 27, 2025 - back at work one month - 170 lbs
My birthday- 180 lbs getting lazy!
Thanksgiving- 189 lbs too lazy!
Sunday January 18, 2026 no more lazy! 200 lbs after 1.5 months on heavy weight again.

In the past year I have quit smoking, quit toking, and quit drinking multiple times a week. ChatGPT says my body is setting a new weight baseline after surgery and lifestyle changes. I’d like to trim a few % off the body fat to get my waistline smaller, but I feel healthy again.
