I  weighed in at 247 when admitted to  the Hosp. I've already dropped to
240. Target weight is around 160.

BTW, with the new hospital beds - you don't even have to get out of bed
to be weighed. You can be weighed while you are IN the bed. It's wild.
Weigh you in the morning, again in the evening, measure the fluids going
into you, measure the fluids going out - they can tell a lot about you
with that information.
