Cookers Weigh In---FridayThrow Down 2-1

[Superbob]

Sorry, SuperBob.
If it were me, I would chuck the leftovers, stay off the scales for a few days, walk extra with SuperDawg Sadie, and see how I fared on Friday!
By the way, that's exactly what I'm doing. Mind if I borrow Sadie?

As usual, The Ref makes a great call. Only problem is, my wife intends to eat some of those leftovers and she wouldn't take kindly to my tossing them. I can ask her to hide some of them, though (as she does routinely with salted peanuts, rationing me just a half-cup a day; 5-ounce cup). And she has instructed me to keep my cotton-pickin' hands OFF the rest of the chocolate cake -- that's hers alone. I guess the rest of the Super Bowl chili is for dinner tonight, then will be eating a lot of salad the rest of the week.

The Super Bowl is a special occasion and only comes once a year??.as does Easter, Christmas, Forth of July, Kwanza, Birthdays (mine and anyone else?s I can get cake from), Hanukkah, First Day Of Spring, First Day of Winter, MLK Day, Thanksgiving, Valentines Day, New Years Day??..If I left any out it was unintentional.

OMG??this is pure and unadulterated madness!!! Like I need this many excuse to stuff my face???.pass the French fries please.

Mr. Chimp: You forgot Fat Tuesday (aptly named), Saint Patrick's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Grandparents' Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Yom Kippur, Halloween (!), Election Day, Veterans Day, and, oh yes, Groundhog Day. And what about March Madness, the NBA playoffs, the Stanley Cup, and the World Series? And the first day of Fall (my favorite season)... Thursday night, SUPERBOB accompanies his wife to a big sorority reunion at an area university, and she wants to go to the fanciest Italian restaurant beforehand, and then of course there will be a recption afterwards....SUPERBOB may have to take a mulligan this week -- oh heck, forget it, he will face the groaning scales.

I enjoyed 2 bowls of my chili yesterday..but left it in slow-cooker..on purpose..so I could dump it today.. Never have cared for frozen stuff....and knew we would be gone today..which was worse.. Had my annual PCP lab work/ect..and across the street..Loretta.s..the BEST Home-cooked southern food. Because I had to forego eating breakfast..I sinned.. 1 large piece of steamed first..then fried chicken..Fresh greenbeans and creamed corn and a yummy piece of cornbread with real butter..and iced tea.. Thank goodness. I don't have to visit my PCP..often.. Plus. I weighed 2 lbs more on his scales..but had on clothes?.............Bonnie

Late again ...sure is hard to get a turn on a computer at my house during the school holidays.
The weight is down a tiny bit 1/2 a kilo, which is about a pound ...now if only I can continue this trend for a few weeks...every bite of food seems to make a difference...I have learnt its very hard work losing the last few pounds/kilos of excess weight.....wonder if I could just get taller instead!

Good job!!! Just keep chipping away at it....It is not easy but slow and steady wins the race

Okay, here's something I don't get... I finally got the results of my blood work from last week. I KNOW that sodium effects me big time (as evidenced by the 2-5 lb. fluctuations that occur almost daily (got those two pounds from Sunday back ). So why is it that the ONLY number that was "off" in my blood work was my sodium? It was too low?! I'm SO confused! The nurse said the doctor didn't want me to change anything, since it was only one point out of range, but I just don't get it! I think I'll be putting a call in to my cardiologist...

 

[terryj]

I go for my three times a year bloodwork today. I have to keep a close eye on my type 2 diabetes and my tryglycerides and cholestrol. I have been on tricor and zocor together for 6 months now. I sure hope the numbers go in the right direction. I weighed on my scales this morning fully dressed and with shoes on. I didn't show any loss since my appt. 4 months ago. I have been eating a little healthier but I know I have to start exercising. Why do some people love to exercise and some people(me) hate it? My doctor likes to fuss and his bedside manners sucks. I hate these visits.

[Cooker]

Niki...I don't have clue about the sodium....if you had been peeing a lot maybe that was it.

Sue....I'm with you....although I have walked for the last two days I certainly don't "love it" but I have decided it is something I need to do for my health and weight loss....I have given up several things for the sake of better health....can't say that I enjoyed doing it and still miss some of the old habits. I would aways rather nurse a cup of coffee in front of the computer than walk at the mall. But you know what they say....."if you always do what you've always done you will always get what you always got"....or something like that.

Tuesday Feb.5/08
Today was to be the day I started a new job and to fit into my old work jeans.
He never called me back on Friday or yesterday, I guess I scared him off .
Oh Well, I brought my weight down to 126 from 129 since last Thursday.....not bad I guess.
Thanks for letting me participate.

Congrats on the 3 pound loss, Freddie!

Hope you'll stay with us. If you lost an average of 1 pound a week, you would have your desired 9 pound loss by Easter.

Hi all,
I'm checking in late this week. I drove my older sister from Mass. to Florida last week and didn't have access to a computer. (I did however take my scale with me to Florida.......) I was at 172 last Friday which if I remember correctly is 2 pounds down ......however, I went out to eat twice in Florida, slacked off on walking and ate too much in general. I'm not sure how this next Friday will look, but I'm getting back on track after flying home yesterday.......darn, it was nice in Florida!!!!!! Today everything is totally fogged in here although it will get up to 50 degrees maybe.

Ok girls and boys two days to weigh-in…I have had a good week on WW, Staying in my points for the most part and have walked three times so far this week…. Wishing everyone success….I am proud to report that when I started I was wearing XXL knit golf shirts(that is about as dressy as I get ) and today I am wearing a L ….I hope the scales show it…. I only weigh once a week….It is easy for me to tell you that weight fluctuates during the week but I hate to see it in myself.

 

[Granbonny]

Today starts Lent..fasting for 40 days..or giving up something for 40 days.. .Last year my daughter gave up..Diet Coke. said it was very hard to do......If you had to give up 1 thing..for 40 days..what would it be..I guess for me..anything sweet...more of a sour type person. Bonnie

As the Keith Anderson song says, the women love the DoubleXLs, Mr. Chimp. The country cuties in their string bikinis, etc. Are you sure you want to downsize??? SUPERBOB proudly wears his DoubleXLs.

Brother I don't want to do it...I have to

 

[terryj]

I would have a hard time giving up my alcohol. Especially margaritas. I guess I could give up boiled okra,too. But not fried okra.

Bonnie?It is also my understanding (from a Catholic friend) that you can add something that you should be doing anyway etc?..Is this correct?
