Smugness

Keep it up lass... over the last year me + partner have lost 190lbs between us - so we
know it works!

Went to the doc this morning for my regular weigh-in in the quest to get from fatbirdonabike to
slightlypodgybirdonabike. So far I have lost a sniff over 31lbs, so I am allowing myself a few
minutes of smugness ;-)

Onwards and downwards! So to speak...

Cheers, helen s

Thanks - will do. I am doing my best to keep it up (or down!). The discipline of being weighed at
the doc with a nurse hovering by my shoulder is a useful incentive.

Nice one Helen, keep it up...or down... My wife said she'd lost 2lbs this morning...whilst being
supportive, I suggested she's merely mislaid it and it'd probably turn up again tomorrow. I think
the laughter burnt a few more calories, so it helped.... Cheers, Dave.

I heard a story about a friend of a friend (may be an urban myth, but don't think so) who went for
her regular weigh in. She was disappointed to find she'd put on a few pounds. Nurse comments that
normally she is weighed in bare feet, so should remove her shoes. Friend of Friend duly removes
shoes and steps back onto scales. "But I've still put on loads", she wails. "Yes, but you're holding
the shoes" was the explanation.

I think the friend of friend may have been a lawyer.

Thank you :-)

It does. Mind you an "active" session of se* burns up lots more calories. Suggest that to her ;-)

For some obscure reason, I think we're 'past it'...we're 'of an age' ;-) We both had seriously bad
backs, coincidentally around the same time, about 3 years ago and although we've either largely
recovered or work around, it

wierd..... I'm starting to think maybe I do need the stuff I keep receiving unsolicited ads for in
my inbox ;-) Having said that, we do occassionally let ourselves get carried away and it's nice to
see the quality is still there, if not the quantity. Unfortunately, I think that it's quantity,
rather than quality that's needed for weight loss ;-/ Dave (apologies if that was a little too
much info ;-)

Well done! I'm going through a similar process and hit 22lbs loss since early June. The smug
feelings every couple of weeks are very rewarding.

I've (like you) promised myself a ludicrously expensive bicycle if I can get down to 200lbs. That's
also quite motivational.

Keep it up (not the weight, mind you)

Block, tackle & harness. That's what you need - could lead to "interesting" solutions ;-)

Nice idea:-)

Or how about some of the positions one hears about in books that have lots of drawings and pictures?

Well if you didn't have a bad back before you started on some of the suggested positions you
certainly will after. Apparently, so I've been told, no first hand experience of any of this lewd
stuff at all honest officer.

Hi Peter

The friend may have also been either a doctor or an underwriter. Some time ago I used the be an
underwriter for a small life assurance company in Worthing.

One applicant was somewhat overweight so, other things being equal, might possibly be rated as
having an increased risk of mortality. (IE, more money for the company.)

The problem I and the CMO (consultant medical officer - a doctor) had was how much more EM (extra
mortality) to "charge" him as this particular man, as well as being a little large, also was missing
0.75 of a leg.

How much does 0.75 of a leg weigh? Where's Archimedes when you need him?

IIRC, we gave him the benefit of the doubt and supposed he had two entire and intact lower limbs.

A good NHS piece of folklore ( may well be true).

Looking at the records they were very concerned that a patient had lost a stone in a week in
hospital. You can guess the "punch line".

Howdy, WK. In my case it was true - probably. The CMO's name was and probably still is Dr EAB
Cameron. Of course, Dr C could've just been passing on a tale he'd already heard but I can't see the
point given the job he was doing for the company at the time.

Nope, I can't. Sorry, WK, wrong time of day. Is it something to do with legs? Or, maybe, extremely
heavy kidney stones? Something to do with kidneys and Atkin's ketosis?

Sorry, mate. I'm at a loss. And no, I'm not deliberately being obtuse.
