Fat Enders

[MN Dave]

Trouble is though, Dave, that I suspect it doesn't last! Am I right or am I right?

Two choices, is it? Wonderful. You are right. Of course.

I thought as much.

You were closer than you think.  Fat Enders is a Norwegian cult jazz saxophonist, whose best-known works include 'Calorie Count Combo', 'Pound-shedder Blues', and 'I Wanna Be Your Skinny Lover'.

Wow. lol

There were times when I definitely wasn't. In fact I'm surprised you didn't hear me....

I guess I've been distracted and making too much noise myself to have noticed your cries of distress, what with braying on my basset horn and honking and skwonking on my bass clarinet. . . it's hard to hear anything at all over all that racket!     How are you now?

I am living proof of the fact that you don't need a basset horn or a bass clarinet to do some effective braying, honking and skwonking.

I'm OK thanks, Nancy. Walked a mile yesterday and felt a great sense of freedom! It'll be a few weeks before I climb back on the exercise bike tho'.

Well Alan, I'm glad to hear that you are out hiking again.  I hope you won't be offended that I intend to stay with the slow road to weight loss--your sure-fire method of losing a pound a day sounds far too painful for me!

Chicken!!

Two miles today! I needed scraping off the floor by the end, but I did it, by golly.

239 today. Slow going...

[karlhenning]

Keep 'er trending down!

[MN Dave]

Good work, ... Soapy.

[Elgarian]

Today I touched my first milestone:  a reading below 217 (15½ stone)



blue line tracks the daily readings
red is the best-fit linear trend
green tracks the 7-day moving average

Next target is 214:  the point at which my BMI would dip below 30 and I would be merely overweight instead of obese grrrr 

A man after my own heart. Plotting graphs gives us something to do with all our fat-ender anxiety.

I like it, Soapy!  Think I'll do the same (though won't likely publish it!).

Ack!  Bill, FWIW, I got lazy the past couple of weeks, not tracking food because I was exercising, and it turns out that I've gained 4 pounds.  Wish it came off as easily as it goes on!

My iPhone's LOSE IT! app has a little graph so all I have to do is punch in my weight each day.

Yup.  It seems that I either need to eat like a rabbit or add a course of running to my bike riding.

Had some blood drawn this morning, in advance of a routine check-up this Monday. Wonder what the scale will read? . . .
