Greenguy VS RawAlex - Weight Loss Contest

[Greenie]

Here's the deal - Both RawAlex & myself are a bit overweight :(

So we're gonna have a contest & the 1st one to loose 12 lbs (don't ask why it's 12 - LOL) wins. The looser will have to cough up $25/lb for the difference.

We will weigh ourselves each day & take a picture of the scale & post it here.

1st weigh in is today.

Side bets between other board members are not the responsibility of Greenguy & Jim :D

|pink ----> |bananna| is 12 lbs :D

[Cleo]

I still say that you need to buy a scale that measures body fat.

I own this one

[Ramster]

You must have lost some weight just from not drinking anymore? This should be a close one. I hope you like fruit and veggies. :)

[MrMaryLou]

This gonna be good :) 12lbs man thats a good dump LOL

[Greenie]

This gonna be good :) 12lbs man thats a good dump LOLMaybe for you, but I doubt I can take a 12 lb crap :D

[Greenie]

FUCK! I wish we started this contest on Monday :D

Feb 23 - 194 lbs

[RawAlex]

Well, adding the camera in my hands (I use the same camera all the time) I am sitting at 193... so I guess I am going to have to get busy here!

12 lbs. May the best resulting |bananna| win! ;)

Alex

[Greenie]

Oh fuck - I forgot I was holding a camera - I'm doing even better than I thought :D

[Cleo]

http://www.greenguyandjim.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=380
Nice feet :D

[RawAlex]

Oh,. you can see the pics at:

http://www.rawalex.com/weight

I will put one there for each day... so you all can hassle me when I have a bad (read fat food) day.

;-)

Alex

[Greenie]

Nice camera skills :D

[Cleo]

And you went to film school to take pics like this???
http://www.rawalex.com/weight/feb23.jpg

[RawAlex]

Actually, it's too dark in the bathroom, and the flash wipes out the display... so I am going to have to find a better solution... but I don't want to add any weight to the situations, so blurry pics it shall be :-) Zoom lens tomorrow, I think. ;)

[Cleo]

So what you are saying is that you have the morning shakes and can't hold the camera still enough.
|couch|

[RawAlex]

Pretty much... it was first thing in the AM.

We'll see how all this goes! ;)

Alex

[Useless Warrior]

I'd make sure to get the head of my dick in the pics. You know, just for giggles.

[SirMoby]

GG you should have started when you had 10 lbs. of hair on your head. I think this entire bit about naked feet on a scale is going to be a new niche.

[T Pat]

I lost 5 pounds in the 3 weeks the old lady stayed with her daughter after her operation
(to lazy to cook for myself)
I should lose another 20 pounds

[docholly]

i think 12lbs is a minor issue compared to the serious need for a pedicure.. |thumb

[RawAlex]

docholly, from playing certain raquet sports, I have managed to do some semi-serious damage to both of my big toes. They are now just growing back to more normal lengths... I have completely lost the nails at least twice in the last 2 years.

;-)

Alex

[Greenie]

All I know is that I'm wearing socks tomorrow :D

[cd34]

won't that add to your weight?

You guys in buffalo wear those 3 pound grey socks right? haha

[Cleo]

You could put on a pair of bunny slippers

Then slowing slip your feet out of them sliding your toes gently on the scale caressing the dial as you…

[RawAlex]

GG, okay, add 1 pair socks... ;-)

Alex

Yeah, badminton is one of the more dangerous sports around these days :D

[RawAlex]

Well,, this morning pic is up (and I added socks to be nice) and I am seeing 192 (and it flickered back and forth to 191). http://www.rawalex.com/weight/feb24.jpg

Day one wasn't bad, still ate good and all. Today is girlfriend day, so I am not sure I will lose any (because chinese people do tend to eat!).

Alex

[Cleo]

Nice socks, do you always wear them inside out? :D

[Greenie]

I was gonna ask if he always wore one of them inside out :D

[RawAlex]

I grabbed the oldest and thinest socks I had and just stuffed them on while still asleep... ya gets what yas gets when I am doing stuff before coffee.

;-)

I put on the mickey mouse ones tomorrow!

Alex

[stuveltje]

Nice socks, do you always wear them inside out? :D
hahaha this is a funny thread, would be nice if GG and RA wear something different everyday on their feet, lol make little puppits of your toes or so :D btw where is GG next pic? :D still very cool about loosing the weight , i have to loose myself some pounds because i gain weight since i stopped smoking a couple of weeks ago.

[AcidMaX]

Good luck you guys, I recently started a whole weightloss plan as well. Been going to the gym 5-6 days a week. It's definitely tough, 12 lbs is just a start but keep it up :)

[Greenie]

Damn 1/2 lb socks :D

[MrMaryLou]

Nice socks |couch|

[Useless Warrior]

Those are great socks. I'd like a pair like that. Dr. Seuss would be jealous - if he wasn't dead.

[digifan]

I find Greenguy's feet sexy... drop those heavy socks please! :D

[Greenie]

You know what they say.....you ain't seen nothing yet :D

[Cleo]

I'm just surprised that GG's socks weren't green.

[digifan]

You know what they say.....you ain't seen nothing yet :D

:D

Cleo,

green would have been too obvious imo...

|jackinthe

[stuveltje]

hahahahaha i know why you have heavy socks, you stole them from santa, those are santa's socks, i almost choked in my diet cola when i saw your socks |pink :D

[Greenie]

The Bitch did NOT like this one :D

[Cleo]

Breast implants to follow???

[Greenie]

[Cleo]

[MrMaryLou]

Now this is getting kinky LOL

[Cleo]

Green boobs for MML's head

[RawAlex]

http://www.rawalex.com/weight/feb25.jpg

Was bouncing between 191 and 190... caught it at a good time. I am going to get a new battery for the scale to try to make it brighter... it really doesn't like getting it's picture taken!

Alex

[stuveltje]

goddamn you guys are going good, ahummm GG i get a realy strange imagination with you and your nailpolish toes.....whats next mushrooms on them???:D btw looks like those santa socks where realy very heavy:D, RA good going there, and you look like my son, he is used to put on 2 different socks:D

[Ramster]

I'm going to pretent I did Not see that.

[Cleo]

Don't you hate it when you can't find matching socks

[stuveltje]

I'm going to pretent I did Not see that.hahahahahah nightmares...greenguy with nailpolish toes...i need that fainting smilie....

[Greenie]

So Raw Alex has lost 3 lbs & I've lost 1.5 - unless his scale is in kilograms? :D

[cd34]

We have an unofficial entry into the 'Greenguy and Raw Alex Weight Challenge'

http://wheresgabbo.com/weightchallenge/

He advised me that you shouldn't reload the page because it makes his weight shift and its not fair.

[Jim]

A new contestant, nice. You need to take 5 lbs off for his clothes and shoes :)

[PR_Tom]

Wow, Gabbo must have solid gold bones! Weighty lil chunk he is!

You guys are actually inspiring me.. I stepped on the scale the other day and was over 200! Not good for me.

Now to decide.. treadmill or nordic trac... hmmm

[cd34]

he told me his target was 2 pounds a day. We shall see tomorrow.

[stuveltje]

So Raw Alex has lost 3 lbs & I've lost 1.5 - unless his scale is in kilograms? :D
oh your evil :D

[RawAlex]

I wish it was in kilos... that would be 7 lbs already!

Alex

[MrMaryLou]

Ah so gabbo is a bbm :P

[Useless Warrior]

In order for this competition to be fair, everyone should have to wear Gabbo shoes.

Do you imagine that Gabbo's exercise routine is just several hours of dancing the hully gully?

[Cliff]

[Robbo]

It`s true I saw Gabbo he was running late
He needed help losing weight
I said start smoking and gave him mine
I quit last month so I will be fine
I tried to get a pic to share
But just as fast he upped from the chair
he said I don`t mean to be rude Robbo
And something about fishing and cold beers in Cabo

[cd34]

I note that Gabbo dropped a pound to 219.4

Greenguy is sandbagging

[Greenie]

Fuck - I wish I was.

The day I gained .5 I ate a big tub of popcorn at the movies.

Yesterday we ordered food & I had a big sub - ham, turkey, bacon & even mustard instead of mayo.

I am working out a bit - doing sit ups (did 10 the 1st day - up to 35 today) and walking for 20-30 minutes on the treadmill - maybe I'm building muscle? :D

[RawAlex]

GG, at 190, I still have much that can go. The "guide" says I am suppose to be 165 (not a chance, I would have to give up eating completely for months at a time), but 170-175 is realistic.

Muscle is heavier than fat, and if you are doing muscle building exercises at the same time as trying to lose weight, you might find yourself at a plateau long before you reach ideal weight. You are better doing aerobic stuff rather than anything that actually builds muscle. You can use up hundreds of extra calories per day and really balance it out.

Q. How many calories make 1 pound of weight?

About 3,500 calories adds up to about 1 pound. This applies whether they are food calories coming in, or calories (burned by exercise) going out.

If you eat 3,500 calories more than your body needs, you will put on about 1 pound. If you use up 3,500 calories more than you eat, you will lose about 1 pound in weight.

So you can make it up any way you like it... hard work or shorter meals... I am on the shorter meals thing right now... I might actually have to do some exercise in the end ;-)

Alex

[grzepa]

Good luck guys , try to avoid vodka (as I remember good its 6 calories per gram), sweets and all the stuff that'll make you fat (now that's an advice).

@Rawalex : GREAT PICS ! ;-)

[stuveltje]

i do agree with you RA, but GG doing doing aerobic stuff ??? i can see it all GG in an aerobic outfit with his funny socks....i am realy choking here now from laughter............ |couch| this thread is bad for me, i use to much laughing muscles....maybe i can get lost some weight with that |horse|

[RawAlex]

laughing is good for you!

Alex

[stuveltje]

laughing is good for you!

Alexi know and i laugh alot, i like life:))))))))))

Alex

[Jim]

This sucks...I bought my wife a nice treadmill that will be here tomorrow.

[RawAlex]

Jim, that is a heck of a toy... if you can keep the motivation to do the work, you can lose some weight with it, but more importantly you can increase cardio strength that really is the key to health. It's a great way to do thing.

I have been losing so far just by cutting back on snacks, extras, and eating more reasonably. I a few days I might actually add some exercise just to push the number along.

This page is interesting: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calories_burned.htm

It is important to note that 15 minutes of aerobics barely burns the calories in the yogurt I am eating right now. that isn't very much ;-)

Alex

[digifan]

Congrats to both of you guys! And yogurt is very healthy... the plain natural one is the best... :)

[RawAlex]

http://www.rawalex.com/weight/feb28.jpg

189... same as yesterday (maybe 189.8 today instead, I don't have decimals!)

Alex

[Greenie]

I was thinking about this when I got off the tread mill. I weigh myself after I get out of the shower each day - nice & clean & no excess weight :D

The time I shower each day varies, but I really can't remember the last time I showered without "working" 1st, let alone waiting until after I work out a bit & eat breakfast.

Remember back to when you had a real job....it's 12:30 PM EST right now. Real people have showered, eaten breakfast, driven to work, worked 1/2 a day & are probably enjoying their lunch right about now.

It's good to be a webmaster :D

mmm your lazy , i get up at 5 morning, drink a can of black coffee shower myself, pull the kids out at 7 and at 8 bring them to school, on this moment i dont see a different with my old job it was the same, i get up at 5 and went to work early so i could be home early, maybe it will be diffeent when my kids are out f the house, well i can dream on, they just told me they never go out of the house |cry| oke one thing i can take days of when ever i want :D

[Jim]

My wife's new toy just arrived. It came in a box the size of a refrigerator and weighs 264 pounds. I am going to kill myself just getting it upstairs :)

[cd34]

How much weight do you think you will lose carrying it upstairs? Care to make it a contest? I'll bet you can't lose 6 pounds carrying it upstairs. haha

[RawAlex]

It's really funny... explaining to my friends that the toughest part of my morning commute is deciding if I should get a coffee first, or if I will get one in a while. I typically am on the computer until 2 or 3 am, and I don't get up until at least 10am. I am sure some people think I am crazy, but you gotta love being able to set your own hours.

Why don't adult shows have anything before noon? because NOBODY WOULD SHOW UP!

:-)

Alex

[Jim]

I bought a new scale yesterday and I lost 3 pounds from last night till this morning :) It doesn't take much for me to lose weight.

[RawAlex]

Jim, that means you have a bunch of "water weight"... weigh yourself one time each day, at the same part of the day (I recommend in the morning before you eat, example). You will be measuring the same thing every day, and you will see the real trends. Try to be wearing the same thing (sock are good) each day.

Just eating and drinking can push your weight up a few pounds just like that. Clothes, wallet, cell phone... all of it can add up to extra pounds. When GG and I started this thing, I took a test picture fully loaded, and it came up to 203 pounds. It doesn't take much :-)

Alex

[Greenie]

I hate myself :(

[stuveltje]

I hate myself :(lol blame it on your christ thing :D

[digifan]

lol blame it on your christ thing :D
What she said.. no need to hate yourslef it just takes time and the weather changes also can have an effect.. when cold weather is coming we don't lose weight easy :)

[RawAlex]

Greenguy, truth is unless you are quite a bit overweight, 1 pound every 2 - 3 days is about normal... anything more than that, you really have to force. You can lose a little bit to start with pretty quickly, but after that, it's all work.

I will probably be flat again tomorrow, I ate a bunch today ;)

Alex

[Jim]

Well, I did about 1/2 hour on the treadmill. Remember, I have never used one before. I did 2, 5 minute sessions of a program that was supposed to last 20 mins and almost died. But, this treadmill has a heart rate monitor and it controls a 20 min program for you. It takes your heart rate to a place safe but running fast and keeps it there for about 15 mins. I finished that :) My son and I almost killed ourselves bringing it upstairs. It would not fit through the doorway or up the stairs the way you would want to move it. So, we had to move it sideways :)

[RawAlex]

I had to run off this morning (I was late to pickup my girlfriend, sorry!), so I didn't take a picture, but safe to say "the same as yesterday"... today I might get a little exercise, so we will see in the morning.

Alex

[Greenie]

I feel much better today :D

I just bought a beautiful excersice bike last week. Even has a built-on fan. I haven't yet, but I can hook it up to my computer and the maker's website has a bunch of excercise programs that will take control of the bike. Sounds neat. Came home the other day and one my dogs had destroyed one of the pedals. Friggin' mutant boxers.

Mystery meat stew anyone?

Not too bad for 9 days :)

[RawAlex]

Gabbo's at 202.5

http://wheresgabbo.com/weightchallenge/

The little bugger has lost almost 18 pounds. He's withering away -- or he's been removing the bling to sandbag you guys.

[Jim]

I have lost about 5 pounds since the new treadmill. I have had to take the past 2 days of because of a calf injury on Friday.

[Greenie]

The problem is that Jim has no proof :D

I feel much better today...

[Jim]

Proof of what? That I hurt myself or that I took a shit and lost 5 pounds? :)

[RawAlex]

It must have been a big shit.

Alex

[Greenie]

Proof that you have lost ANY weight, my tubby friend :)

It's not too late for you to get into this contest - if you've dropped 5 lbs that quickly, another 12 should be nothing :D

[RawAlex]

Another day....

;)

[RawAlex]

Heh-heh... I didn't have time to do the picture thing this morning, but I weighed myself before and I suspect the number is similar to yesterday... plus nobody has paid to sponsor my toes yet, I feel very stressed! :-)

Seriously, new pic in the morning!

My wife's new toy just arrived. It came in a box the size of a refrigerator and weighs 264 pounds. I am going to kill myself just getting it upstairs :)

If I hadn't read the post about the treadmill, I would be wondering what you guys were up to Jim. lol

Cool treadmill though - still working on getting my knee back into shape after a torn miniscus, someone just suggested I try a treadmill today. That would definitely be a nice one!

Congrats you guys on your hard work... just reading through the thread - can't wait to see all the pics and how this all came out! |bow|

[Opti]

nobody has paid to sponsor my toes yet

LOL... what about oddsocks.com ...

186, but it was 187 and flickign over to 186... so call it 186.9...

:-)

Alex

[Greenie]

Get a new scale - that looks like 188 to me :D

[Greenie]

So I'd been eating a lot of soup the last few weeks. Usually 1 can (2 servings) a day, sometimes 2 cans. At 90-150 calories a serving, a can fills you up & is not that bad towards my per day calorie goal.

Last night TheBitch had a nutritionist come over & go over what we've been eating & what we should be eating & whatnot. Seems that I really need to read the rest of the label instead of just the calorie part. Each serving of soup has 30-35% of the RDA of sodium. So, on those days I had 2 cans, the soup alone was giving me up to 140% of the sodium I need.

So that "holding water" theory might have contributed to the problem.

No soup yesterday & I like what I see :D

[PR_Tom]

Oh hell yeah man, canned soup is salt with flavoring and edible solids added :)
It tastes great and addicting, but it truly is mostly salt water..
They do have some "low" sodium ones, but even those are way high.

[Greenie]

Ohhh - I was bad today - Mom & Gran came over for dinner & I ate a big plate of food - I can tell I haven't been eating a lot lately because my stomach feels like it's gonna burst.

No more food for me today :(

[RawAlex]

Greenguy, it's the funniest feeling... I had one of those last night, got dragged out for dinner with friends, they fed me until I rolled..

http://www.rawalex.com/weight/mar11.jpg

187... +1 from yesterday.

Canned soup is deadly... if you want real soup, make it yourself, low sodium. As soon as you cut sodium, you will drop a pound or two overnight just losing water weight... It's insane how much salt can do to you.

Alex

[Greenie]

I stink |angry|

[RawAlex]

I think we are going to have to call this "fat friday"... we both went up. :)

Alex

[Greenie]

Yeah - but I'd rather have gone up 1 than 4 :(

And I fucked up again today too - wen to Red Lobster because we had a gift certificate & planned on eating sensible until they put those fucking butter rolls out & I started to drool :D

[stuveltje]

I stink |angry|
how the hell you manage to jump that way, you jump from 190 to 192 and back to 190 and again to 192???? Stu<--- thinking because she is gaining to much weight because she stopped smoking, and say to her guy oh she suddenly just has heavy bones, if she can explain how gg jumps like that, she can use that excuse for her own weight :D

[RawAlex]

GG, it reallly is a bit of a cycle... you can eat too much today, and it will all melt off tomorrow. Extra water, clean out the system, and recheck the weight. It is never very fair to check when you have just finished eating... I checked when I came home from dinner and the number wasn't pretty...

Skinny Sunday? ;)

Alex

[digifan]

Hmm.. I have an idea for you oh Great Green One..

you should measure yourself every other day only maybe :)

Alex

[Greenie]

I do feel a little better today :)

[Greenie]

The scale seems to be mad at me.

[Opti]

The scale seems to be mad at me.
I get that same thing most times I have sex :\

[RawAlex]

http://www.rawalex.com/weight/mar13.jpg

186... but it flickered to 185 a couple of times... so I am probably 186.1 or something.

It's hard to get moving from here.

Alex

[RawAlex]

Alex

[cd34]

Poor Gabbo, he's at 184.6 now. Little guy's gonna wither away.

[Greenie]

Fuck Gabbo & fuck Sparky for weighing him :D

Back down to 188 - at least I'm bouncing around consistently :)

[stuveltje]

[RawAlex]

Wel, I seem to like 186...

http://www.rawalex.com/weight/mar16.jpg

Another day, another 186.

Gonna have to work on that a bit.

Alex

[cd34]

well, I have to agree with Digifan. You guys are showing quite a bit of resolve to do this publically and I commend you both. To quote another Mark:

BRAVO MY GOOD MEN! BRA-FUCKING-VO!!!!!

One day, I'll get back on the workout regimen, soon.

back to our regularly scheduled program.

[Greenie]

Lowest yet - I'm getting happy :)

[Greenie]

Ok - just a recap:

Greenguy - was 194 - now 187
RawAlex - was 193 - now 186

3 weeks, 7 pounds each.

[RawAlex]

I had another breakfast meeting today, so I don't have an official number - except I went easier on the food so tomorrow won't be quite so bad.

Alex

[stuveltje]

Nice going GG well done and you too rawalex and stop those big breakfast will ya:D

[RawAlex]

Well, I have someone I do business with who loves to eat early in the morning, so he combines that with business meetings, and gets to write off semi-pricey breakfasts (chez Cora, for those montrealers around here).

It's just one of those things.

Alex

[cd34]

And I had lunch at Chez Pizza Hut, also a writeoff. hahaha

[Greenie]

I think Alex is gaining the weight I'm losing :D

[stuveltje]

I think Alex is gaining the weight I'm losing :Dwow you go gg, btw would be funny if you put some fake long nails one day on your toes:D i wanna see those socks of rawalex, no excuse big breakfast or not, post a pic |pirate

[digifan]

I think Alex is gaining the weight I'm losing :D


Good call.. and congrats! :D

[digifan]

I had another breakfast meeting today, so I don't have an official number - except I went easier on the food so tomorrow won't be quite so bad.

Alex

I don't think that a big breakfast is bad.. at least my Grandma used to say that we need a good breakfast to start the day with and we won't be hungry for a long while... all you could do is taking pics at night :)

Anyway, congrats on the 7 lb minus!

[Greenie]

TheBitch & I decided to cheat today - pizza is on the way to the house :D

[Greenie]

A couple (4) slices of pizza & I gain 2.5 lbs? Fucking food!

[stuveltje]

A couple (4) slices of pizza & I gain 2.5 lbs? Fucking food!lol well you have learned something...dont cheat with eating food like pizza:D pizza is bad you have seen it now, or you must have eating an hugeeeeee pizza.

[RawAlex]

Finally something other than 186 to report...

http://www.rawalex.com/weight/mar18.jpg

185 - no pizza for me, I guess.

Alex

[RawAlex]

Long weekend of doing stuff... eating and other things...

came out like I went in:

http://www.rawalex.com/weight/mar21.jpg

185... again

Alex

[Greenie]

I forgot to bring my camera up the last 3 days, but I was 187.5 on Saturday, 186.5 on Sunday & 186.0 today.

[RawAlex]

Yeah, but how much does your camera weigh? Mine is like a pound and a half... :)

Alex

[Greenie]

yeah - I forgot about that - it's probably a pound or so.

Guess we'll know tomorrow - of course, being sick all day, I haven't eaten much (4 pieces of toast so far) so I might weigh even less :)

[RawAlex]

Man, I am going to need to catch the flu to keep up!

Dammit! :)

Get better soon!

Alex

[digifan]

yeah - I forgot about that - it's probably a pound or so.

Guess we'll know tomorrow - of course, being sick all day, I haven't eaten much (4 pieces of toast so far) so I might weigh even less :)

Get well soon.. and drink a lot of mineral water or tea with sweetener and fresh lemon.
;)

[Greenie]

I sorta hope this flu thing lasts a little longer :D

[RawAlex]

Damn greenguy, your melting away! Quick, eat something! :)

http://www.rawalex.com/weight/mar22.jpg

186 again... it was flickering to 185... but I will accept the 186.

The rest of this week should be interesting.

Alex

[Greenie]

I did eat some oatmeal today & now I feel a bit sickly - LOL

2 or 3 more days of the flu & I'll have this contest wrapped up :D

[stuveltje]

looking good both, only not good your sick GG, hope you get better soon!!!

[RawAlex]

Another breakfast meeting, so no real number today... I am going to have to stop these things... they are making me fat!

Alex

[stuveltje]

[Alphawolf]

This is all borderline gay, really.

[Ramster]

This is all borderline gay, really.

All long as you don't rub one out within an hour you're fine. :D

[Alphawolf]

Uh, oh... :(

[RawAlex]

Breakfast is one of my favorite meals (right up there with lunch and supper)... it's so hard to say no.

The hardest part is NOT buttering the bacon.

:)

Alex

[Greenie]

I should have gotten the flu a long time ago :D

[cd34]

put the camera on a tripod tomorrow and I bet you could win.

You guys are doing great.

[Jel]

Hey, 2lbs to go I believe GG? :D

[Kinky]

This is all borderline gay, really.
did you see THIS (http://www.greenguyandjim.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=382) or THIS? (http://www.greenguyandjim.com/board/attachment.php?attachmentid=383) :D

[Kinky]

I am thinking of having 4 eggs over easy, half a rack of bacon (with butter), some wheat toast just to be healthy, and an ice cold glass of choco milk for breakfast, what about you two?

[Greenie]

Yes, based on yesterday's number, I'm 2.5 lbs away - I did eat yesterday, but not a lot, so who knows that today's weigh-in will be :)

[stuveltje]

I should have gotten the flu a long time ago :Dwow i missed that one, thats good stuf, looking good GG, wtg!!!! |bananna|nice id didnt copie the pic but i am talking about your 184 :D

[RawAlex]

Good morning people!

http://www.rawalex.com/weight/mar24.jpg

184.

Greenguy, careful when you start to eat again, the weight comes back pretty quick because your body has been in starvation mode for 24 hours or more. Gently does it!

[Greenie]

I just had some oatmeal & I feel like I'm gonna barf on my dog :D

[RawAlex]

Actually, I had crepes (large ones) coated with maple syrup... with bacon and sausages... I don't skimp when it comes to running up someone else's expense account!

GG, I feel like that every time I eat oatmeal, even when I am healthy. Think of it as normal.

Have you considered something better, like pizza or wings?

[pornrex]

This is going down to the wire...

[Greenie]

I stink :(

[stuveltje]

I stink :(
i wont say anything |brick |couch|

[RawAlex]

Not stinking... your just getting the weight back you sort of artificially lost when you were not feeling well. Your body doesn't like that sort of thing... so it stores up for the next time... Give it a day or two, you will be back on your way down.

I didn't weight myself officially this morning, but it looks similar to yesterday, so no pic today... tomorrow morning fersher.

Alex

[digifan]

I stink :(

No you don't... you lost weight, didn't you? And you will lose more, the slower it goes the better they say.

I am the winner of the contest btw, I lost 9,5 kgs in 3 weeks having this tooth problem and surgeries and I am still weak and have fever and taking antibiotics. And my usual weight is 60-62 kg.
:(

[Greenie]

I really need to cut my toe nails :D

[RawAlex]

Brain fade, didn't take a picture this morning...

So I will take one erly wednesday...

Alex

[pornrex]
