Ok losers, I am starting this weeks thread early. The next few day will be crazy at work:eek: I will post my weight on Friday but I have not been a good example. The holiday food and occasions are my master:eek: I will regain control at some point, promise. BIG congrats to those of you who have been able to maintain or lose during this season....if I wore a hat I'd tip it to you:p :p :p
 
So far I was 3 pounds up yesterday. But I barely had time to eat today. I typed out 12 guitar chord charts for Sunday and Christmas Eve. If someone put a huge pan of brownies in front of me now it would be all over and this fat lady would sing. Fa la la la la.
 
I weighed this morning and was down one pound. But, that was probably due to the fact that I made 250 meatballs last night for my husband to take to his Christmas luncheon today and I was too tired to eat any dinner. I have lunch plans with ladies from work today and I am picking up 2 of my granddaughters and 2 of their friends after work and taking them out to eat dinner. I will hope to weigh my same 130 Friday morning. No gain.no loss.
 
OK yo' bunch of LOOSERS! Seems like EVERYONE is havin' a challenge durin' these Holidays. Jest t'cheer y'all up ah post th' latess interview wif Dr. Feelfine.

Bubba
:)

These are questions and answers from Doctor Fillfine:

QUESTION: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?
ANSWER: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good!

Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! .... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

AND.....

For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION

Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Enjoy the holidays GUILT FREE!!!!

Mary's kinda busy right now. ah ain't as bad as Bonnie!!

SuperBillyBob, I'll sic SuperDawg on yo', so hush! :p :rolleyes:

Bubba :)

Sadie the Superdawg would never turn on me. She's grateful to be living on Virginia's hallowed soil, not that certain state down there that is the remnant of a penal colony. :p :p

Besides, the Superdawg got a good report in her annual checkup at the vet's yesterday. The Vet: Amazed that the hip is holding together and that she is so active, and happy to sell me a fancy supplement with glucosamine, avacados, and lots of other high-falutin' stuff that is supposed to help preserve her joint health into old age. Superbob sure wants to keep the Superdawg going, since she is both his personal trainer and best friend-- oh BTW Sadie had lost 2 pounds since last April, so maybe the Superdawg should be in the Throw-Down too. :D Or maybe I should be able to add her weight loss to mine. After all, she eats half of my doublecheeseburgers, yet still manages to lose weight! :p

BTW, Cooker, sure glad you can spell "ejection" correctly. That sentence could have come out disastrously. :p :p :p

Bubba indeed appears to be a "saboteur" :mad: : Mary, oh Mary!!!! You are needed for an ejection:D :p

I'm not touching this one with a ten foot pole!:p

I must confess that I was away from the computer eating lunch with my husband at the hospital cafeteria, and I had a delicious apple dumpling for dessert. It was yummy! :) :) )
Then I went to the mall, and had to pack so many presents out to the car that I know I burned the excess calories right off! ;) Shopping is good for weight loss!:p :p And since it is good for weight loss, everyone should rush out to buy me some presents (take a long time, you'll burn more calories that way!):p

Gift cards for Dunkin Doughnuts, Burger King, KFC, and Pizza Hut should work fine for "the REF". :p :p :p

I'll keep the Dunkin Doughnuts, you can split the rest among our other throw downers! We can all gain together! (aren't we swell pals?):rolleyes: :p
 
Well, I expected this so here it is.

Starting weight........233
Last Week...................208
This week....................213
Weekly Change............+5
Total Loss......................20

I have over indulged without giving a second thought. Lesson learned. It goes on a hell of a lot faster and easier than it comes off. No excuses here.
 
Don't know how but I actually lost a pound this week. I will probably find it next week. I have shopping to do all weekend starting as soon as they let us off work today(please let it be early) and then Christamas Eve dinner out with family and Lasagna for CHristmas day.

Starting weight-130
This morning-129
Loss this week-1
 
That's a good attitude to take, Cooker. You'll get yourself back on track, and stay there, I'm sure.:) As for me, I'll weigh in and be back!
Great job, Terry! Way to go!
 
Well, I'm up 2 lbs
151 last weigh in 2 weeks ago
153 today.

I'm surprised it's not more. Not because I've been pigging out - I just haven't been eating the right things.

I should be up 14 pounds - 1 pound for every song I've had to chart and rehearse for Sunday and Christmas Eve. I can't remember a time when I've ever been so stressed and I've been a music director for 12 years. I'm also responsible for the media presentation for each service - so that adds to the stress.

If someone offered me a pan of brownies - I'd eat it with no apologies!:cool:
