The A2K (virtual) Weight Loss Club !!

Soz--

Congratulations. I've always thought the universe would be a fairer place if each bit of Temptation Resisted took weight off as well as not putting more weight on.

I have a free bed for the NYC A2K June Gathering and the trip is motivating for passing up immediate gratification. I've done my stretching exercises and a little bit of walking as well as a lot of serious dusting.

Of course I'd burn more calories bending over to dust at ankle level than I do crawling along the floor in hot pursuit of grime and grit.

How about this for dedication.I found broccoli on my bra this morning!!

Material Girl:

What progress! What a conversation stopper!

Heheh, didnt mean to stop any conversations.
Had a yucky vegetable stir fry yesterday, had no tatste to it at all!!Managed to not drop it down my front tho.
Banana and salad for me today.

Material Girl--

Your diet seems to be virtuous this week. What about exercise?

I've started my exercises again after two weeks of inertia and once again I must admit that I feel better.

Yep, I have yet to crack the exercise, I yearn to go out for a run but I know itl be a brief jog slowing to a walk to a wheezing standstill, hardly worth me going out.
But it will be done I promise, Im not eating like a sparrow for nothing.

What exercise are you doing Noddy?

I di a little on sunday(have to admit it helped with monthly girly pains)

Don't start with a jog!

When you go out, spend the first five minutes walking briskly. This will
get you warmed up and make the rest of the session better. Then jog a
bit (maybe three minutes or so). Then slow down to a walk until you are
no longer gasping, but only breathing heavily. After a few mionutes of
this, jog again.

You need to gradually increase your fitness level. Binge jogging is just as
ineffective as binge dieting.

Exercise rules!

OK, thanks.
Even went shopping for exercise wear at the weekend, nothing in stock unless Im a size 8 who, lets face it, have no reason to exercise, or a size 22.

I've been weighing myself every morning. They say you shouldn't do that
because weight fluctuates, but I've been doing it to observe trends. What
I've found is not surprizing. My weight tends to decline during the week
and spike on the weekend. This tells me that I'm obviously doing
something wrong on the weekend. That's no shock, either. I eat bigger
lunches and sometimes bigger suppers. That's going to have to come
under control. I take Saturday or Sunday as a recovery day and don't
run. I'm not going to change that.

One piece of good news is that my spikes over the last month have been
about two pounds less than my spikes in the previous months. Progress!

George--

I think Formerly Fat People or Formerly Fatter People should weigh more than once a week.

The upward creep of one or two pounds is easier to cope with than an upward jump of 5-10-15 pounds.

I weigh every morning too, George. I figure that more information is a good thing.

I dreamt of a huge banquet last night and then I and a friend was expected to go running!!!!
I weighed myself,Im half a stone lighter but I dint trust the scales at home.
Im glad I kept old smaller trousers to see if I can ever get back into them.

I've been addicted to my scale for years. Recent studies have shown that people who weigh themselves daily have a much smaller fluctuation range than those who weigh weekly or less. Data is knowledge and knowledge is power.

I never weigh myself. The only time I ever see my weight is on the rare visit to the doctor and it doesn't seem to change much. A pound here... a pound there.

I like to sit for 1 minute on a small animal, if I get up, and its alive, then I know Ive lost enough weight.

Let me be that animal.

This could be a interesting adaptation of the old carnival "Guess Your
Weight" booth.


Perverted, but interesting.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I never expected that reply!!

Material Girl--

Seven pounds is a very respectable start. Congratulations.

Gus's replies are like the Spanish Inquisition.
