Cooker's Throwdown Friday II...7-31-09

[Cooker]

It has been a struggle ... I hear some took to the bottle when VR was down, I took to M&M’s, banana pudding, Five Guy’s Burgers, pizza and other assorted decadent lard ass causing substances ... I got on the scales this morning, no comment, but I have until Friday to post and I plan to be at least where I was before “The Great VR Crash Of 2009” ... I hope all of you have coped better that TheChimp ... you may not have noticed but I can be a bit weak ... I tend to eat anger, frustration and most anything else put in front of me ...

Hope all of my fellow losers are well ... you have been missed ... now get off your butt and get going with the exercise of your choice .....

Hey y'all should ask for T-shirts with logos: I survived the Great VR Crash of 2009.

I am available for counseling for those with “post crash syndrome”

 

[Bina]

Good, I'll call your secretary tomorrow.

The going rate is 20 bananas an hour... satisfaction guaranteed

 

[Bina]

I went for a walk with the twins Friday morning. It was mostly to get them quiet. But it gave me some exercise too. I need to make it a habit.

Two Fridays ago I was down 1 lb and so excited to be able to post a loss. Then we crashed... No comment. I'll wait for this Friday.

Just think ... all the walking and chasing you will be doing!!! ... we might have to rename this to Niki's ThrowDown

I'm waiting until Friday. I have a sleeve of Oreo cookies sitting on my counter as I type this. It's been a stressful few day and I'm trying to fight off the desire to go soak them all in whole milk and inject them straight into my stomach and thighs.

HIGHLY doubtful! If family history is any indication, I need the motivation of this throwdown more than ever. My mom got bigger after kids, not smaller. After all, the only way I was able to get an uninterrupted meal the other day was to eat in my car at Sonic.

Prune juice works well but since it is an illegal substance, any suggestions? NO, no castor oil!

Ross what was that clear me out combo drink? powerade & milk of magnesia?

Not to worry ... I have banned the banning of any flushing substance ... that’s my final answer

This is not my “official” weigh in but I am back where I reported in the last ThrowDown (2 weeks ago) .... I will post tomorrow and hope that I can show a small loss....

Where is everyone? ... We have only had five post to the ThrowDown since the “Great VR Crash of 2009” .... Where is our SuperBob? ... His archenemy Lex Luthor is spreading the rumor that he has thrown in the towel ... Can this be true? ... SuperBob has committed to 20 pounds this year and weekly weigh ins and when our man makes a commitment he keeps it so I know these rumors must be false .... We are missing many others too ... come on peeps, lets get back with the plan Stan, hop on the bus Gus ....

I have started back with counting my WW points and it is paying off slowly but surly ... everyone has to find what works for them and there is something that will work for “you” if you keep looking! ... I hope to see old timers and newbies get on the train ... We can do it together!!!!!

Wise? ... Cindy? ... Karlynn? ... Ton? ... Jim? ... Marguerite? ... Glenda?....TheRef?...

 

[Superbob]

As of this morning, I am 5.2 pounds from my goal. I have 5 more months to achieve it. I will report in occasionally on how it's going.

 

[Mary]

Great job, Superbob!

I'm down a pound. Not as good as earlier in the week, but I'll take it.

I hope everyone else is having a good week.

My weight went up to my starting (173) weight, but is back down to 170. I must try harder eat yet more salads. I once hit 166 but have not been there in a while. I need to get to 155 - 160.

You've had alot going on . . . you'll get to where you want to go pretty quick.

I've been hanging out right at/below/above my goal weight of 129. Up a bit today because I pigged out on chilimac last night while hubby went to play raquetball - "just finish off the macaroni and leftover chili from the fridge" syndrome.

Most of my weight problems have been "cured" by the increase in my diuretics the last month - about 4 pounds worth of water storage. Tonight I finally start the lower dose of atacand (my arb - mail order can be slow) so in a few days I won't be so dizzy all the time. The diuretics cure the cough and fat feet, but really drop the bp! My cardiologist said "gee, you're only on 5 meds that drop BP, of course you get dizzy!"

 

[Cooker]

Ok! ... We have some activity!!! ... Great to hear some are still with us!! Up, down or the same we will eventually reach our goals if we stay aware .... I have set my next mini-goal at 180 and I might reach that by my yearly physical the end of August but that is pushing it; I’d settle for 185 by then......

Remember Bonnie’s philosophy, slow and steady, a pound a week..........she’s watching over us
