Re: Summer 09 Weightloss


The sight of myself in the mirror offends my sensibilities every day! emoticon

How about we have a race to see who can gain the most weight instead? I'm sure I can win that one! emoticon

 I know I could beat you at that one, PC - I gain weight so easily.

Re: Summer 09 Weightloss


LOL!!
Too bad my wife is already fretting about my health, this could of been a fun challenge emoticon

Me, I look at a cookie and gain weight. I don't even have to eat it! Actually, I think I just gained a couple ounces just thinking about looking at a cookie! emoticon

We are really hoping our kids take after my wife's maternal family. They are all tall & skinny despite having voracious appetites.

Re: Summer 09 Weightloss


 emoticon I can relate. Seems I look at food, and gain weight, or one little misstep and I pay right away.

I don't even want to think about a weight GAINING contest -- LOL. Too scary emoticon

Currently at 140. Five to 10 pounds to go.

An aside -- went to a dietician recently -- something I've wanted to do for a long time. The difficulty in taking off weight could have to do with thyroid -- my mom is hypothyroid and my thyroid numbers are creeping up there. But the dietician said to add back in red meat. So I tried, and my body really reacted! (I didn't think I added alot, but...) Got all stopped up (which I hate), had major charly horses in my calves all night long (which NEVER happens), and got a major histamine reaction in my hands (which I haven't had for months).

I went off the meat again -- still eating eggs and cottage cheese for animal protein. I already feel better.

This journey is really blowing up alot of my myths about myself. Which is probably good! I always thought I was wired to be a meat eater. hmmmm...

Good luck to us all. We can do it.

Interesting experience Cat! I've actually never had a bad reaction to meat. I've rarely eaten it any any quantities, but I have had a whole meal of a chicken dish and a beef dish that I can think of off the top of my head (at friends/relatives houses that forget I'm vegetarian and serve meat-only dishes! I try to be polite and eat it if I don' think it's horrible).

Today is bad...forget my breakfast AND lunch. I'm eating peanut butter crackers from then snack room. The closest thing to real food in there! emoticon And tonight is a dinner at a pizza place. Hopefully I won't eat way too much like usual!

I've not all that great today myself. 2 donuts and a cup of coffee for breakfast, a really nice salad for lunch and a milkshake at around 5pm. Right now, I'm munching on some Lance crackers and a glass of water! Not my best day, to be sure!

Re: Summer 09 Weightloss


At one of my doctor's offices, I weighed 3 pounds more than I did at another doc's office a couple of weeks ago. I know there will be some flucuations, but it still aggrivates me.
I'm still working on my goal to be under 200 by the end of Summer (when I go camping in Alabama, Sept 14th-19th)

Re: Summer 09 Weightloss


We are back on the Caveman diet.. I first tried it in 1976, and lived fit and healthy for over 20 years. I have no clue why after so long, I abandoned it, but when I did, the weight came back on with a vengeance, so no, Officially, we are back on The Stone Age Diet.

Interestingly, all the very fit actors and actresses in Hollywood movies are on a version of TSAD - this is why they look so good. It should only take a year or so for me to get back the body I lost.. The Frog LOVES the way she looks on it - not being heavy to start with, she has lost the 'agri' puffiness, and looks like a million dollars... I will post on a different thread about the diet, how it works out, and stuff I remember from years ago.
