I have no idea who Ruby Wax is, but I wouldn't mind a corset myself. Maybe, just maybe I would look like I have some boobies then :) |
I've got 1/2 point left and its dinnertime and I'm hungry fuckit. Somehow I screwed up? |
|
|
|
MMMMM Sugar Daddys |
|
When's the wedding? I've heard that if you eat alot of less processed foods that contain high amounts of fiber and water it'll help. Like watermelon or something. I'm gonna brag here, I'm filling-free! |
I drink heaps of water Lapis. Working in a/c makes ya do that. The wedding is in January. 16 weeks. |
|
|
and i'm filling free, too. suckas. |
|
|
|
Cabbage, beans and cucumbers are gonna cause flatulence but they're good for you. Use some bean-o or something if you can find it. I've heard speed is really good for losing weight, you completely lose the desire for food and run around crazily all the time. Are you exercising Moonit? Do you walk alot? Increasing your daily physical activity might help too. |
Also--rice cakes are low point--usually about one points, and they fill you up good. I ate a lot of rice cakes and carrots. So is popcorn. You can GORGE on popcorn w/out toppings and it's like two points for six cups or something crazy. And yeah, excercise like mad. |
|
Tried and prooven ways to loose weight. |
mononucleosis, too. my brother got mono when he was 17 or so and lost 20+ lbs in the 2 weeks he was down. and he's skinny to begin with. he's a skinny bastard. fuck you, bill!! |
and no farting. the farting goes away on atkins. the beer is what the farting is from. |
|
|
but, your kidneys can take it. |
|
|
|
i ate a ton more food than normal the first few weeks of atkins and i still dropped weight like crazy. ask ehahether, she knows. you guys are nailing all the standard misconceptions of the atkins diet, though. |
|
Today was better foodwise - I went to a health shop and talked to a chick who has me taking spirulina - she thinks it might help the cravings. I guess we'll see. Have been trying to get to the gym all week - but with the new job have been absolutely knackered. Am going tomorrow with mum, and with Tarn on Sunday. |
The thing that motivates me the most is seeing how I've progressed each subsequent time. On Wed., for example, we did these modified leg lifts -- I could only do about 5 before the burn set in, and by the end of the routine I could barely lift my leg off the floor. I bet tonight I'll be able to go a little longer before tiring. Last year, I took this same class for a month, and by the end of the month I was able to do the whole leg lift set without tiring. |
I haven't been hitting the FUCKx100 for almost two weeks now.... |
jesus christ, it just doesn't look good. |
I tried out the fitness room at my new apartment complex. It was fun, except the damn super-combo weight thinger is going to take some figuring out. I'm used to different machines for each muscle group. . This thing's like a transformer. |
I have found that I'm more likely to go if most of what I need to work out is already there. |
Your daily carb intake should be less than 20g. Eat that way for at least two weeks. (Two weeks is the default, but you can stretch it longer if you want.) After two weeks, increase your carbs so that one week you're eating 25g/day, the next week your eating 30g/day, etc. You can start eating nuts and berries, then moving to (I believe this is the order) more starchy vegetables, other fruits, and finally whole-grain breads. |
|
|
AND, they don't cause flatulence. |
|
i hope i never reach the point where i feel the need to go on any consistant and serious diet. it seems the more you focus on it, the more likely you are to screw it up. sensible and moderate eating and exercise habits are the key of course. but then again, i suppose im lucky, as Im not one to turn to food when depressed, or have an obnoxious sweet tooth. I'll grant its harder and harder to be sensible these days. |

A coworker of mine is on the South Beach diet, which sounds a lot like Atkins (including 2-week induction period), but is a little more lenient. (It allows legumes during the first 2 wks, for ex.) I'll ask her more about it. |
I remember you saying once, re: mayo "just give me a spoon". and i recently had some Duke's, downsouth, and realized I had forgotten what really really good Mayo tasted like. |
|
Dukes is fattening and rich. Southerner's don't cut corners in these matters. |
Its genitically engineered leeches you need. They've cleverally spliced 3 different genotypes together, so you get the best all in one amazing leech! 1]They have consistently been proven to reduce your overall weight, by effectively reducing your blood volume.[YES! Its true. Now YOU can decde how fast and how much weight loss you desire,right in the privacy of your own home!] 2] They are so sickening,that you'll be able to eat very little, if any at all.[Watch those pounds melt away! And, for the most innovative genetic capability of all............... 3] They are completely gas free! And now, you can be,too!Thats right, you heard me correctly!!!! These little gems have been genitically altered, to ingest any foul and maloderous flatus in your intestinal tract. {You'll never poot in public again!] However, the manufactuer suggests that you limit your intake of all gas producing foods, as on race occasions, a few clients have reported,undesirable side effects. It seems, that after ingesting the flatus, the leeches tend to drift/crawl upwards, and try and lodge themselves on the skin of the upper torso, looking somewhat like hemorrhoids. Occasianly, [due to their gas content], they can not maintain their position, and have been known to completely leave the skin surface, and become airborn. When this occurs, unfortunately, the leeches tend to loose their sphinctor control, and release the noxious gases right there and then. It is a sight to see! Kinda like a roomful of hemorroids, floating around pooting out juicy poots. All of the people that have used this method , are all satisfied with their weight loss. |
Spider, I picked this up. I like how she presents the recipes, it really helps me out. She gives you the order in which to prepare items, a grocery list and a list of things to use that should be in your staples, all in the margin for easy reference. So far, so good, although I have already modified a couple things to make them more convienent. |
|

|
i like the best foods/hellmans. mm. mayo. |
i also like big h sandwich spread with the relish in it. |
|

about food. If we are going to talk about strict weight- loss the thing that has worked for me for the past year is skipping meals and running around all over the place. This is due to stress, I don't skip meals on purpose, although if it means I lose five pounds without thinking about it, I don't complain. However, this weight is quick to return at the first sign of rest and relaxation. |
|
Had pancakes for breakfast this morning. Why is it that I don't feel like I need to eat on weekends, but starve when I'm at work? Stupid body. |
|
VV, with my oldest daughter I went from a b cup to a d cup, and then at the end stayed a c cup for the longest time, but after I had micki so early they all shrunk down to an a cup. It depresses me. They may be all mine and all natural, but damn. I would pay the money for a boob job if I had it. I miss the ability to create cleavage, let alone have any naturally. |
Behind me is a small window and behind it is a set of wooden stairs leading to a row of apartments. These are the stairs that creak and wake me in the morning. Two normal sized people and one rather large person go to work at roughly 6 am. I’ve never seen these people, but you get a good indication of their relative sizes by the degree to which the stairs protest as they descend. As I am sitting, post-shit, reading rapidly towards the end of the chapter, I hear the complaint of the stairs and two female voices. They pause on the stairs and grow silent. I stop reading and start trying to remember if the cheap, off white blinds were turned vanes up or vanes down. From their raised vantage are they peering down into my bathroom? I don’t want to look, just in case the blinds are vanes down and by turning I meet the stares of these women. I was just wearing shorts when I entered the bathroom. The shorts are now about my ankles and for all intents and purposes I am naked on the throne. I like shitting shirtless, especially on hot days like today. I like the feel of still air on my back, stretched taut as I lean forward, elbows on knees, book in hands. The bathroom is a little stuffy and smells like bread baking. Well, to me anyway. I hope they can smell my shit. Their voices start again. The stairs groan. The women make odd cackling laugh noises, allowing me to place their ethnicity and socio-economic status with some degree of accuracy. Maybe not great accuracy, considering I tend to make my judgments from behind closed blinds and rarely verify. As their voices fade into the distance I throw the bookmark in and shut the book. The disruption blew the momentum that made me want to reach the end of the chapter. I start pulling squares from the wall. It’s dark, I’ve been drinking a lot of wine. I like the way my penis looks today. I reach down and grab my shorts and pull them up as I’m standing up. I hit my head dead center on the corner of the sink. |
|
When I am totally sober I tend to walk into the corners of the coffee table and bruise the shit out of my shins and calves, but when I have been drinking, I don't have that problem. I have been drinking frequently lately, so maybe that explains the lack of bruises on my legs :) |
Sorabji International Boob Trade Day has such a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Nate, I just manufactured a most impressive poop which actually required two flushes. I thought you should know, oh poop lord. |
Boob trade day? I am all for boob trade year! |
The puppies have a mind of their own. Well okay not really. But they're big enough to. You're gonna hate me Eri, but even when I'm normal sized I'm still a C-cup. |
|
|
Boob Trade Day? No thanks, I like mine. |
Maybe I can have some of the fat in my ass moved to my boobs and then be proportionate again! |

It would be like feeding steriods to a rhino. |

Speaking of which, time to go feed the rhino. |

"In an unbroken sequence of events extending over ten billion years, the universe expands andcools, stars are born and die, the sun and Earth are formed and life arises on the Earth. Finally, man appears on the scene." -Robert Jastrow What are we doing, people? We are the epitome of ten-billion years of natural history! We must be doing great things, not making sound effects! |
in the scale of the universe i do not see a significant delta between the greatest of our potential and the slightest of our sound effects. in no way does my existance summarize the death of a star. epilogue, perhaps? |
Anything to revitalize the words. |

That's what I need to do. |
I've lost 8.2* (slight 200** gram gain last week, but thats okay. I'm back on track now) so far - and the wedding is 5 weeks away. Now, while I'd love to hit that 15*** kilo mark - to lose 6.8**** kilos in five weeks is a fucking ridiculous goal - thats the kind of eating that leads to binging in my opinion (no purging though, can't throw up to save my life) - and with the silly season coming closer (next weekend - friday night, work xmas party - saturday night, pandyr's xmas party - sunday, picnic work thing), there's no way I could, or even would, discpline myself to that degree. So - I'm not far off the 10% of my (old) fat(ter) self mark, and I figure if I can achieve this by the wedding, then thats good enough for me. *18 pounds ** 0.4 pounds *** 33 pounds **** 15 pounds I discovered my cellphone has a handy converter. Not sure if its really that handy, but now I'm speaking your language ; ) |

what's wrong with Kelivns? they actually make sense, and we can ignore the fact that there are a perfect 100 Kelvins between the freezing and boiling of water. |
i am mohamd please poster sex sample |
|
that's HOT |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(it's -17.8 C) kelvins are based on absolute zero, and one kelvin degree is equal to one celsius degree, kelvins just start lower. go Celsius ! |
go K! |
-the base unit of temperature in the International System of Units that is equal to 1/273.16 of the Kelvin scale temperature of the triple point of water you're both wrong. i think. moonit, its an obscure measurement that I probably wouldn't know shit about except that its used to measure color temp., which is relavent to photography and film. its a measurement used heavily in physics, astronomy and such where light and color are heavily relied on for data. |
there are no degrees kelvin. |
"one Kelvin" <- right . The Kelvin scale is good for doing calculations on temperature. . Want to know if something is "twice as hot" as something else? 100 Kelvins times two is 200 Kelvins. 200 K is twice as hot as 100 K. What's twice the temperature of 100 degrees C? 473 degrees C. . Kelvins make sense. |
|
Silly high school brain of mine...too bad I can't seem to get past it. Well who knows. As soon as we have income figured out Eri is applying to school again. Probably SAC but it's a start. Finish Sac and then see where to move from there, I mean, where in Texas do they have any good earth sciences? Anyways....... |
I've lost 10.1 kilos - or 22.something pounds. The puppies have gone down a cup size - so I guess I'll have to rename them. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I'm so pleased with myself. |

|
I've been considering the South Beach thing - my mom is on it and Kazu's parents are too - they really like it. but all that must wait until this report is done. |
So, I am doing a modified version of the South Beach diet with a friend. I started today and while I had no problem avoiding things, today is not a good day to judge as my appetite was totally down due to the UTI. Also, what was hard about today was that I didn't really have any food besides beans and rice and one thing of tofu until just a few hours ago. For me it's not really about losing weight, though I wouldn't mind dropping 6-7 pounds, but more or less the challenge of eating differently and to see how my body reacts to it. I'm taking a few liberties. You're not supposed to have yogurt in the first two weeks and after this, it's supposed to be low-fat and/or light. However, I am not getting rid of my plain whole-milk yogurt, especially since I can eat it now without fruit. It will be one of my snacks. Also, all the cheese they recommend is low-fat and blue cheese isn't even mentioned in the book, but I'll be putting a little bit on my spinach salads along with a sprinkle of walnuts. Today I ate: B: yogurt L: tofu fried in a little oil and then simmered in a sauce (soy sauce, lime juice, chili paste, ginger powder and garlic). D: left over tofu and big ole spinach salad with the aforementioned cheese and walnuts and a little bit of olive oil and balsamic vineagar. |
Not bad, not tired, jittery but not-insane-too-much-coffee-jittery. My body feels foreign to me...although I think the jitters may be subsiding a bit...I'm not tired, but I'm starting to feel as though I could take a nap. I don't know how much this has to do with what I've eaten. I've had less carbs than normal, but this doesn't feel like my usual low-carb reaction. And, I'm not hungry AT ALL. So far today: B: I tried to make an omelet (that is an odd looking word) with some chopped peppers but in the end it just looked like a sad egg pancake with green polka-dots. It tasted okay though. AMS: Hummus and Peppers L: tofu salad (tofu, mayo, scallions, sliced almonds, salt and pepper) on a bed of greens. For beverages, I've had plenty of water and two cups of green tea. The jitters didn't start until a couple of hours after the tea. I plan on having: PMS: (no, I don't plan on having PMS, that stands for PM snack.) yogurt and/or some nuts. D: Some kind of fish thing, and the spinach salad. I meant to have yogurt and/or nuts in the AM, but I didn't have enough clean containers for all of my food, but I will be doing that tomorrow. |
. A couple hours ago, the pain started. That was less that great. Somehow I managed to get a hydrocodone in me, so I'm feeling better. . It's been 8 hour or so, and I'm starting to get some tingly sensation back in my face. . Maybe I am alittle hungry. Weak, anway. |
Oh, and I hope you feel better soon! Pain sucks. |
|
so it's opiates every 4 hours and ibuprofen every 4 hours. staggered in 2 hour increments. if you're in serious pain, it's your own damn fault. the big message being, don't even let it start hurting. agatha said i was super sweet on vicodin. |
. I'm eating Jell-o and pudding and all I really want is a nice, greasy, salty pizza. . Swelling sucks. My head is spherical. But I've got my big-dose IB's in addition to my hydrocodone. . Ripped through a 400-page book like it was standing still. I'll have my little bookworm bring home a refill from the library tomorrow. . Whenever I sit up all the way or stand up, I get hickups. |
Especial the first disc with 'Porno Gil' |

My mother used to think of going to the hospital as taking a vacation. She loved it. She used to go to the maternity ward and look at the babies. Of course that was before people started snatching the new borns. |
|
|
A growth? A cyst? A tumor? Tell me about it. Be well. |
|
|
speaking of assthunder, I had some sugar free peanut butter cups yesterday, and yeah, assthunder. the kind that you can hear rolling around and building up in your intestines beforehand. no more maltitol or lactitol for me. |
I am home now, but have wicked wicked cramps, and the growth - they couldn't find one, so it was basically just a d&c or hysterscopy thing. Going back to see the gynae on thurs, so hopefully he can tell me what the fuck is going on. I have a bruise in my hand from the needle, little mini bruises round my arm from the blood pressure thing, and the worse cramps ever. |
|
My wife is diabetic so I've been going nuts trying to find her stuff she can eat. She tried the Hershey's stuff and couldn't take it. We don't know what the difference is with Hershey's. But, she really had a bad time with that stuff. |
I've been eating sugar free pudding which doesn't make me sick, but only a little at a time since after a few bites it doesn't taste good anymore and the ingredients otherwise scare me. It's aspartame rather than alcohol sugar which I try to avoid in general, because asparatame has been shown to cause laboratory tests in rats. I weighed myself on Saturday morning for the first time since starting the SB last Monday and I was down 5.4 pounds. Now I'm up 1.8 pounds, but I thought that was pretty impressive. My mom was concerned but I figure that as long as I am not calorie deficient I will plateau sooner or later. |
So, I thought I steadied off at 140.4, but then I was down to 138 for a while, which is good. I was certain that I would stop there. Certain. Then I weighed myself this morning. HOLY FUCKAMOLY! 135.4. I am not kidding when I say that I can't remember the last time I weighed this little. It's so strange. And, in the last three weeks that I've been on this diet, I've cheated with 4 pints of Ben and Jerry's and two small pizzas (one had whole wheat crust though). Anyway, I know that this weekend when Shannon visits and the following when Sem arrives I will put some of it back, but still...holy shit. Sorry. I'm still in shock. I had to weigh myself three times to be absolutely sure. P.S. Don't tell my mother. I got a lecture on Friday about how *some* fat is okay. If I wasn't eating anything, I would understand. But I am...I swear. |
i know you (like me) are always trying to lose weight. did you do anything to get down to 135? how are you feeling these days? i have been having bizarre food cravings lately. today and yesterday it is cottage cheese. i can't eat enough of it! |
For the last week I've just been failing to get enough food in because of all the work. I weighed in at 134.6 this morning and my mother said something to me she's never said before: Stop losing weight. Otherwise, I'm back to eating normally and generally hanging comfy around 138-139. Now that my work is done, I'm feeling good. I can't remember the last time I ate cottage cheese. I used to love cottage cheese with chive when I was in high school. I would put it on Melba toasts. Today at Whole Foods I ate some peanut butter made with white chocolate. It was awesome!!! the same company makes cinnamon swirl pb. |

wow J that's awesome! my friend Kristi's dad stopped drinking a month ago - after being a heavy drinker for 30+ years - and he lost 10 lbs and is going fishing with his wife and stuff now. anyway, keep it up J. |
|
i have an appointment next week w/ a licensed dietician. something is wrong - namely an insatiable appetite - and it's been this way for a year now. and i can't live like this anymore. and no other physician has been able to help. so... one last try! |
Somebody else can drink for you. |
got it covered. |
