The Delapnegated 2023 Weight Loss Thread

$1.29 for holiday cheeseballs? Where do I sign up? I'm tempted to drive to my Aldi and see if they have them.

Apparently they go out the door quickly because my Aldi has a 2 cheese ball limit per shopper. In the self checkout a third cheese ball won't even ring up. That's how I found out there was a limit as I didn't notice the signage beside the cheese.

I'd like to lose that much weight, I worry about whether I'd end up with droopy skin flaps or would my skin be elastic enough to return to pre fatty fat fat as I'm at 260 right now.

In addition to the Chirstmas candy being half off, I also noticed everyone already have Velentines candy everywhere. That's nuts. Marked up VD candy 1.5 months early or marked down XMas candy one week late?

Wife made her annual vat of El Azteco cheese dip today, so I'm sure to put on a pound or two this week. Ain't no dip like El Azteco dip.

Fell off the wagon a little. As soon as Halloween hits, it's a marathon of birthdays (5) Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's. We stopped trying for those two months. That cost me 11 pounds. Starting back up today.

According to my scale, I'm down to 221 lb. Given that six months ago (or so) I was about 280-290, I'd say that's f-ing incredible. Of course, I can feel all of my bones, my appetite is crap, my tastebuds are nowhere to be found, but I'd wager my diabetes is much abated... and the rest... can be worked on.

EDIT: I may have accidentally found why I lost 50 pounds and right now I don't want to eat and itches all over...

I may have accidentally ingested some nasty fungus (the rotten food kind), which would explain the prolonged bout of diarrhea that not even drugs can quite tame, and persistent itchy skin. It's in my gut and I've yet to expel it completely, but I manage to get enough out so I'm no longer suffering the runs. And for that I blame my... air fryer, and my lax cleaning habit. To make a long story short, I'll have to throw out my air fryer, as throwing out the inner liner wasn't enough. I suspect there's enough grease inside that fungus/mold has grown where I can't see them. Yikes.
