Gary~1.2 pounds in 11 days? That's nothing to laugh at! Keep at it, don't give up, you can do it!!!!

Oh I know Madam Secretary ;) I have been to Fremont, I was just trying to stir :stir: it up a bit for fun :)

Yep VEGGIE this is the party...what a pity isn't it? You are sure WELCOME to stay...but don't plan on losing any more weight either...at least until I come up with some better "games" to burn off those calories. Well if you're not gonna drink that beer, can I have it?

You are quite welcome KATALLAN! In fact bring the whole office, I have plenty of rice cakes I am trying to unload! :)

You are so right ALLISON ~ nothing to :lol::rofl::lol3: at....I am still :cry::(:cry: crying in my beer. Don't you get IT ALLISON? 1.2 pounds...that's just a TWEENKIE away from back to scratch! I don't have the luxury you do of being able to lose 1 pound everytime you leave the air conditioning and walk to your car, it hasn't gotten over 80 here all summer ;)

Checking in with :hat: party plans early, since I took the day off from work. I weighed in at 200.0 pounds this morning...same as yesterday. I don't understand becasue yesterday I ~

Ate a healthy breakfast of oatmeal and turkey bacon ~ had a snack of some wheat crackers ~ a turkey, lettuce and tomato sandwich on flatbrerad and a yogurt for lunch ~ granola bar snack ~ burritos with leftover chicken and flank steak from the tacos the night before ( probably 1 more burrito than I needed ~ needed I said...NOT WANTED!...I WANTED 2 more! But no chips. I did have an extra scoop of pinto beans in one burrito though instead of flank steak...but I figure I took care of that this morning ;)

I went for an hour walk and 3.6 miles on the treadmill this morning....feeling like I am "workin' it" But then Angie ran the dogs for 3 1/2 miles this morning and is off at yoga now....sh'e hard to live up to...wink

I would stand on the oppisite leg then you write with? I know I favor my right leg (because I am right handed) so I would assume it has more muscle then my lazy left leg, so I stand on my left leg when I weigh ;)

But seriously though, 1.2 pounds in 11 days is awesome... I have some how manged to gain that in 11 days!

LOL, so can I, luckily more haven't decided to follow!

HA! You know if I had to have a choice beer, it'd be Coors Light. Usually with buffalo wings. ;) Like Shananagans said, if you'd like MY WATER, I'll be more than happy to hand it over. :D Along with my wings. Well, maybe just 1 wing before I hand it over to you. :o

Let's pull together to keep it that way PARTNER! :)

What kind of "veggie" do they make WINGS out of? ;) Coors Light...:lol::rofl::lol3::lol3::rofl::lol: geeesh...that ain't beer :no:;)

OK So the PITY continues...it looked like a pretty good day. I did the treadmill for 3.1 miles this morning, ate healthy all day, did another 3.1 on the treadmill late this afternoon. That is 2 5K's in one day!

My daughter stopped by with some free time before a bikini wax, she decides to try out the new treadmill. As she is trying it out, I am telling her my woe is me story on how all I have lost in 11 days is 1.2 pounds. Now keep in mind my daughter graduated Magna Cum Laude with Honors from college, is getting ready to start her second year of grad school towards her Masters, is a research anaylst for a company that works with NAVY SEALS and Fighter pilots ~ pretty much can tell you all about kinetics...anyway she comes up with this.."Well Daddy, don't get too upset just yet, it takes 3,500 calories to burn off 1 pound, it will take time."

Needless to say once she mentioned 3,500 calories to lose 1 pound, my mind went to ~

Ma~Nam~a~Nah ~ doo ~ doo ~ da ~ doo doo ~ Ma ~ Nam ~ A~ Na~ doo doo doo ~ doo OVER and OVER!

Gary, it's hot as hades here with the humidity to boot and I'm retaining water because of it. At least that's what I'm blaming my non-existant loss on. In fact, in July I *gained* four pounds. And that's with running five miles twice a week, walking about four miles a day, eating 1500 calories or less a day, and being motivated. So stop whining about your 1.2 pound loss :) 'cuz I'd trade you no-over-eighty-degree-days AND a 1.2 pound loss for this mess I'm in!

Just looked ~ LOVED it ALLISON! Thanks! Angie got MY Girl stuck in her head....Thursday after listening to our Temptations CD...which...well, let's just say Angie talks to "herself" and sings to "herself" which I CAN HEAR!! So...you guessed it! MY GIRL was stuck in my head...

talkin' bout my girl ~ my girl ...wink

Hey Kiddo ~ You certainly deserve to be moved to the top of the PITY PARTY list! I wish I could explain WHY you haven't lost with all that hard work.

I AGAIN weighed 200 on the :goodscale this morning. This after doing almost 2 hours and almost 6.5 miles on the :woops: yesterday. Now, I know you don't lose weight everyday..but...shouldn't you lose something when you have totally quit snacking and added some exercise to your life? I am begining to think that I am at my IDEAL weight, just maybe that I am PROPORTIONALLY CHALLENGED After all my legs and arms are skinny, as well as my chest and Angie always says I have no $$$...or maybe that's I am an $$$ ;) Either way...my weight could be...ALL RIGHT..IT IS...in my belly.

I am sooo trying to prove to Angie that it is NOT the beer :no: I am running out of excuses ~

Proportionally challenged. I love it!
