Losing Weight with Starscream

LooseCard · 03-18-2009, 01:51 PM

First, let me just say that reading through this was quite amusing. You guys are a riot.

I'll write up a nice huge intro for the next post....

So far, down 10 lbs the first week

, up 2.6 the next

.
Due for weigh-in on Friday morn, week 3. And I haven't been able to 'fit' exercising in yet.

No, I'm not bragging, but once I throw out the other info about me, you'll understand. (I could compete with 'The Biggest Losers' if I didn't have to work for a living)

Welcome aboard!

Good luck on that weigh-in on Friday.

I keep losing weight........ but it keeps finding me, and brings new friends too..........

Thanks for the welcome.
Problem right now is the wife bought the 10" plates instead of the 8" this time. Believe me, this makes a huge difference!

I'll tell you all this much though... We now have a scale at the house.
We went town to the IKEA just so that I could get one cheap, as normally they either don't go high enough or are wicked wicked expensive if they do.

The last time we dieted, I was down by about 80 pounds, and was HUGELY proud of this accomplishment.
One rear-ender later and I became sedentary for 6 months, and have gained it all back. Here we are, 2 years later, and I’m back to overflowing my largest pants, and regular knees aches. It’s time.

My goal? Let’s start with getting below 300, and in shape.
That'll beat the last try.

(Friday allows me to be easier on weekends and get days to recover... heh heh....)

Yep. That sounds familiar.

That's why I weigh in on Thursday. Sometimes my weekend starts early.

Sorry to hear about your accident, but stick with us and we'll get our targets together.

Yup, sounds like I need to back it up one more day too....

For the first time ever, the wifey agreed to going to a Chinese Buffet. She usually is against these, but she got a 'good referral' for the place, and our kid egged her into it.

Big mistake.

Big, big mistake.

I had a big plate of Sushi (which is more of a filler), and a full plate of dinner. A little more dinner, and topped of with a plate of desserts....

I know I still have too much food in my intestines to read acurrate but damn.

I can either move the weigh in to Friday and take the hit, or still weigh in on Sunday (remember, was just going to change...) and hope for the best.

Pizza celebration tonight as a 'bon voyage' party for Bro-in-law who ships off to Boot Camp at the end of this month...

I'm not giving up, but I just can't win either.

If you do change your weigh-in day, make sure you keep it at that day for a while. Changing your weigh-in date regularly gives you inaccurate readings as to your true progress.

Temptations a b!tch, ain't it?

I'm thinking the same thing, but I have yet to actually change as I am only on 3rd week....

Yes, it is - but that's what keeps us going.
