Cooker's Throwdown Friday III ... 6-10-11

[Cooker]

Greetings! I don't know why but I'm up 1.5 pounds:confused2:. I think I may be snacking at night more than usual and the exercise definitely increases my appetite. I hope you have had a great week and shed a pound or two. Even with the gain this week I feel better and I know it will all work out!:thumbup:

RW&B Starting Weight: 202
Today's Weight: 210.5
This Week: 212

 

[Wise]

Good attitude chimp. That's how you have to look at it. I've heard that increasing exercise can initially cause a weight gain. It will certainly work out in the end, as you say.

I'm down .7 this week, at 177.3. That's down 5.7 from my RW&B start weight of 183. Cindy will probably weight on Saturday.

Good going Wise-Man:thumbup: You and Cindy are doing great!!! Keep off the good work:biggrin2:

 

[Superbob]

Yikes! It is Thursday already and the Energizer Chimp is scurrying around and people are posting weights already. :eek2: Superbob is not feeling up to it --maybe tomorrow. Meanwhile, congrats to all who are staying the course.

 

[Duffey]

Yep, it's Thursday. Good job Wise, good job staying with the exercise, Cooker. I'll weigh tomorrow. I had to skip the lasix this morning and that can wreck havoc with the scales even at the best of times.:eek2:

 

[nngbwh]

Good job, Wise. Keep it up.... I weighed this morning and am down one pound..
Starting weight- 163
Today weight - 162

I am pretty proud of myself !:biggrin2::biggrin2:

 

[Bina]

FYI--Cooker has been having computer problems...probably the Brownie cake that got stuck in the keyboard.

 

[Superbob]

Hmmmmmm, and you and The Chimp were spotted alone in Chat one recent afternoon. Hmmmmmm.

 

[Duffey]

I'm having internet problems too! :eek2: Sounds suspicious, I know, but service was down for several hours and it's still hit or miss.

Good job, Nelson!:smile2:

I stayed the same as last week. 156.5, up a half pound for the race. I'll be AWOL for two weeks, so I guess my next weigh in will be the final one for the RWB.:confused2:

Doesn't bode well for the vacation!:eek2:

Y'all behave while I'm gone.:smile2:

 

[TXWildflower]

Hi y'all! Sorry I have been MIA the last couple of weeks or so. Work is actually driving me crazy (short trip) with 9 and 10 hr days, and in cardiac rehab they are kicking my butt and I am so tired that when I finally get home - I just crash. None of the Dr's seem too worried about my tiredness - they say I'm still recovering from a big trauma - but its been 4 months now. My left chest and scar still hurts some too - mostly just annoying. I actually slept all day long last Sat. That just can't be right, but my body wanted it!

Anyway on to the topic at hand here! Even though I haven't reported in I have been making an effort - but not a lot of progress. I think since the last time I reported in I weighed 207.6, and today I weighed 207. But I've been up higher in the interim, so really I'm down more than .6 - how about that for logic?

Saw some complaints about it being hot on the E. coast - OK you guys don't get to complain in the summer when its hot and I don't get to complain in the winter when it's cold.... (We've already had two or three days of 101. No 4th of July fireworks this year from City of Austin - in fact they may even ban sales of them to the public. Too hot and dry. and too much risk for wild fires.

Cooker - very very good job on the losing the nicotine gum (she says while chewing a piece herself). Behave yourself and that gain will be a loss next week (said from someone who is seriously considering Tex Mex and Margs for dinner..)

I promise to behave while you are gone Duffey, but I clearly have no control over the chimp or SuperBob! It is starting to look like Cindy and/or Wise might have this thing in the bag, but not without me giving them a run for their money!

Starting weight for RW&B : 215
Weight last time I checked in: 207.6
Weight today 207
Total lost for RW&B: 8 lbs

Hope Everyone has a great weekend and I'll try not to be such a stranger!

 

[Cooker]

Just checking in ... still having problems with a system virus ... using DW's user, very strange that her account is ok ....

 

[Superbob]

Superbob is down one pound this week.

Down 4 pounds for the Red, White, and Blue.

Looks like Rhena and Cindy are the frontrunners for this race -- hooray to them, Superbob will cheer them across the finish line. :smile2:

It's not been easy. With the heat, have cut down the two daily walks to one at night for Superdawg. Try to make up for that by adding a workout at the Y -- mostly the exercise bike. Grand plan to walk laps in the pool is in suspension because at the time I can get there, the pool is filled with kids having fun on their summer break (which is how it should be). I know, I could in theory go there at 5 in the morning and do laps (but I can't, really)... excuses, excuses, but SB is trying to hang in there despite diminished superpowers.

Hope you get your computer issues resolved soon, Cap't Cooker.

 

[Cooker]

Thanks Bob ... I have access but just not my choice. I will not be able to get my system in the shop till late next week but that's the way it is. Congrats on the pound and I understand about the walking ... this heat is bad.

Having problems with my arthritic foot:mad2: and have had to cut down on my exercise.

Throwdowners, have a great week:thumbup:

Wonders never cease ... I opened my user, micro soft popped up and asked if if wanted to "clean" my computer, I said yes, and all seems well ... I wish I understood these evil machines:rolleyes2:

 

[Wise]

Cindy says "I'm sorry, I cannot face the scale this weekend. I could not stop at just three peanut butter and crackers and it went down hill from there. I'll try to straighten up this week."

Tell Cindy I understand ... I will be at the church weenie roast tonight, hopefully the last leg on my downhill slide ... :biggrin2:

 

[Duffey]

Just updating before we leave Thursday am. Some may remember that our nephew has renal cancer. The surgery was today and they removed the tumor and were able to save more than half the kidney. I don't know the prognosis or treatment yet, but so far, so good.
My brother in law is having a complicated neck surgery in the morning. Hopefully all will go well. It's being done here, so I'll be at the hospital most of the day.
My brother's surgery is scheduled for early July. His prognosis is excellent since there's no node involvement.
Received word last night that our son will be home this week-end from Iraq. We'll be gone on vacation but just knowing he'll be on American soil is enough to put a big smile on my face.:smile2:
See all you LOSERS in a few!:biggrin2:

 

[nngbwh]

Great to hear your son is back home ! Prayers are with your family.

Have a nice fun vacation.... Later LOSER....:biggrin2::biggrin2:

 

[Duffey]

Don't know where the chimp is, missing in action I suppose, but hopefully someone will mention in tomorrow's new thread that I'm down a pound and a half as of today.
I don't want to surprise everyone by coming home from vacation with a big loss. You've been warned; I'm on track!:rolleyes2::wink2:
