The A2K (virtual) Weight Loss Club !!

Nice to know someone else does stuff like that.

Only five miles? What length of race does Frank run?

I can see why you choose to weigh weekly Noddy.
I have started doing that and have noticed a downslide in my weight.
This is nice..
almost 10 lbs in 9 days.

Run joe RUN!!

Not that I peak in here too much, but when I moved out of my apartment 2 months ago and broke up with my ex I was 156 lbs... Now I weighed myself yesterday and I am 138 lbs!!! I am so excited!! With all the stress of the relationship off of me, I guess I could concentrate on myself...

Wow! That's great CL. How tall are you (and how's your arm)?

I am 5'3... I am almost in a size 7 now....

My arm?? fine, why?? Did I post something about it before and forget?? lol

No, I misread your post about moving out. I somehow read that you had broken your arm. Never mind, my brain is doing strange things today

A size 7 is great. Do you have a target weight or are you just trying to slim down?

I want to be back around 120-125... but I'd be happy with 130.... I also have a rather large chest.. so that adds for some of the weight.... When I lost all my weight before I never lost my chest.. it was like it all went there...

I want to be a size 5 again.. if I get lower than a five I think I will be unhappy with my weight.. I don't want to be too skinny

I'm back from NYC--two pounds lighter, down to 130. Losing weight is easier when you're not living next to your own refrigerator and the days are filled with calorie-free pleasurable moments.

I did spend some time watching thin people eat. Portion control is the secret. I watched fat people too--third helpings are not "portion control".

Back to the real worlc--with snow forecast for tonight.

skinny people snack all day

fat people gorge every hour..

> looks at the clock waiting for her next hour<

269 and losing

That's great CG- 20 lbs down since you first posted here in June. Good for you!

Noddy, I always gain weight when I travel. Portion control and restaurants aren't usually in the same game. Congrats on your loss.

Shewolf, I tend to nibble all day. What I nibble on determines how much gorging comes later.

"Thank's JB!"

Weeeee!

lost 3/4 of a pound! I'm at 177.25

now I've got 27.5 to go to get the scale past that horrible 150 weight measure.

have lost a total of 3 and 3/4 pounds

slow, but it's better than gaining.

Constitutional Gir--

Great. Slow, steady loss show a lot of will power.

Hold your dominion.

and I made my travelling companion have an early breakfast so we could go look for JoeNie We hung around where they were handing out numbers and t-shirts for a while - just in case there might be a sighting.

It was actually a lot of fun. We were staying one block from Central Park on East 85th, so after breakie at Hot and Crusty <and a couple of apparently way tooooooooo early efforts to contact Roberta>, we took the crosstown 86th to the west side of the park and walked around the park - big around. We did a full circuit on the track around the reservoir, and I, being mmmmm sometimes a bit competitive, ended up race walking all the way around with a group <tourist satchel and all>. E caught up with me later.

Since that was part of the whole walking New York adventure <which included a bit of a workout at the Guggenheim :wink: > my calves and biceps are feeling suuuuuuuperb.

I lost a coupla pounds in New York, in spite of the hot chocolate I was treating myself to each day.

Walking will do that for you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next time, I'm not going to miss JoeNie - who stood me up Thursday, Saturday and Sunday

EhBeth--

I'm retroactively exhausted--you're approach to NYC is very physical.

World in General--

Incidently part of ehBeth's bicep development was pushing my wheelchair up the ramp at the Guggenheim. On the way down she would let go and then sprint to catch the chair before I hit the wall.

I've just finished organizing an assortment of salty snacks: anchovies, smoked oysters, pickled herring, mushrooms, picked corn, hot cauliflower B&B pickles, dill pickles, etc.

All are in loser/user friendly containers and every single one is tasty enough to convince me that I've really had something to eat.

Picked up my number 5254.... race time 8:55am Sunday...

full report t'marra.

Joe(outta my way)Nation

Run-Joe-Run.

Best 'o luck to ya!

Joe--

5+2+5+4=16.

1+6= Lucky Seven.

Surely an omen that you'll finish the course in a respectable time.

There are really 5253 other people running? I'm betting you'll finish in the first half of the pack.

Hold your dominion--even if you spurn A2K gatherings.

Taking our regular walks and also walking more with Bean during the week and having little foot races with her has proven to be a great thing for me.
My energy is SOOO much higher, the weight loss is still a slow steady trickle as it should be. I feel better and Bean is copying me.. so she is getting exercize as well.

BUT-
Yesterday morning, the mister and I went to our favorite park for our exercize and I did 4 miles.
i got the idea that , since I have done it before, I could jog about a minute, walk a minute, jog a minute, walk a minute...
So i did this for 2 miles, then walked the last 2 miles at as fast a pace as my little legs would carry me.

yesterday afternoon my right knee almost gave out on me. Out of nowhere, it was popping.. like something was rolling out of place behind my knee cap. I could feel the bones grinding and in order to take a normal step, i had to tip my foot.. out.. away from my other foot.
I felt it most on the stairs where I almost had to stop.

Is / could this .. be something normal?
It isnt PAINFUL.. definatly uncomfortable.. but not PAINFUl where I would need to take something for it.
It isnt swelled up.. at least not that I can tell, and this morning, it isnt doing that anymore?
Anyone else get things like this when walking? or jogging?
