I tipped the scales at 241 pounds!
Now I used to be 6-feet-2 inches tall but recently I found I was only 6 feet!
Age tends to reduce one's height, if not their weight.
This photo of me was taken a few months later, on my 75th birthday.
I had definitely ballooned over the years.
So I began drinking less and perhaps watching my eating a bit less and slowly the pounds began to slip away.
When I got on the scale this morning, it registered 170.0 pounds!
That means I've lost 71 pounds from my top weight!
Granted, it's taken me over 9 years and not much effort has gone into it but there it is.
I had Judy take my photo a few minutes ago.
Though I do tend to prefer loose-fitting clothing, I think you can see the difference.
I give credit to the nagging cooking skills of my beloved SWMBO.
She has discovered the wonders of sheet pan baking.

Never mind the scorch marks around the chicken.
That's just barbecue sauce.
You can see some assorted mini-peppers, onions, potatoes, carrots and that wonderful faux-barbecued chicken.
Suffice it to say that it was, as usual, wonderfully tasty.
And, yes, while we do eat well; no, we don't eat like that every day.
