TEAM SKINNY 03/01/08 (March Madness) (Page 14)

Last week - 149
This week - 148

I'll see how the next weigh in goes, I may have to scale back the goal of 10 pounds lost in March to 5 pounds. Hopefully next week I'll see better results!!

And apparently, you've been loading up on the raspberries, too!

Depends...are lemmings skinny? If they are, sign me up!

I faltered last night. I had a really bad day personally and I smoked 4 cigarettes. I blew 56 days of hard work. And I drank too much, too. And now I'm frustrated that I have let my sucky life get in the way of what I'm trying to do to change.

On a more positive note, I did meet someone at work yesterday who is training for a sprint. I don't know him that well, but he seems nice and I might have the opportunity to do a little training with him.

Roni:  Good thing you told me you were teasing as I was beginning to take it personal.  Everyone likes to pick on poor little "old" me.

speak for yourself

oh, im just kidding sailing. put away the tissue.

Thanks Comet I just went to get a new box of Kleenex.

how many is that

Since I have been abused lately I have bought stock in Kleenex.

well at least it is just kleenex you need and not bandaids

Good point,  Might have to change to Puffs since they are softer....LOL.

ooo what about quilted charmin.

I have a general question.... If anybody knows or has insight... How do we know that our metabolism has kicked in? Generally, you might think, I'm losing weight, I must be burning cal more than usual. But what if the scale is so spastic that no discernable weight loss is noticed over time? And how can we know without out finding out what our lean body mass index is before and/or after? ( personally I don't have the money to go get tested every couple of wks/months). So if all we have is a scale ( that doesn't show BF %) and our workouts, how do we know if our metabolism has kicked in? One idea I've been toying with is increased appetite. But is this because of diet restrictions? ( eating certain foods vs. eating at specific times) Because I would have thought that over time the body would become used to eating those 5-6 meals a day and the constant hungar would subside due to a conditioned response, "It's time to eat!" I find I'm hungry all day long, and next to pain, it's one of the worst feelings ever. True torture sometimes.

He's more like P' piper. Leading us along with his song and dance of merryment for weightloss, s/b/r, and those semi-inspirational tag lines from really famous people nobodies ever heard of!

I went shopping for those illusive skinny jeans today! I found some, but I didn't buy them. They were still too snug for my taste. I don't like baggy jeans either, it's just I'm in a transitional phase I guess. So I bought the same size I usually do ( between 36x30 's and 34x32's) ( 2 pair). I tried on I think 12 pair, and the 33x30's would have cut off my manhood in about 2 hrs time, that or I would have passed out (decreased blood flow). But I did notice that the normal 36x30's were getting really baggy for my taste, so I've digressed to wearing a belt.
