  1. Hi, All:

    Anyone else find it too easy to lose and gain wieght?

    I was 215 Saturday...now I'm almost 230, due to yummies consumed --
    poor yummies! They were so peaceful in their lovely holiday
    packages....

    I feel like that kid from the manga "One Pound Gospel," a boxer who
    just can't stop eating. Like him, though, I don't look fat at all, but
    I definitely notice it in my movements, whether it's biking up a hill
    or jetting up five stories.

    What's the most weight you've ever lost in a single day? I know it can
    fluctuate -- and it's mostly water sweated out -- but I'm
    curious...this is rather fascinating.

    Want to get back down to my prime of ~185-195 lbs.

    Sigh!

    Wish we had skiing near here (NYC)...not much else to do outdoors in
    winter time that's as fun as x-country! Was skiing only in a tee shirt
    for like two hours...that's how much of a workout it can be -- I had
    steam coming off me!

    'Mostly water' would be an understatement. Not much value in this figure at
    all. Talk to a boxer trying to make weight before a fight.

    In my experience Daily weight fluctuation is close to meaningless when
    trying to gauge weight loss (never mind fat loss).

    Lordy

  3. Short term weight changes are often misleading. Charting weight over time
    shows the trend and thus gain or loss of fat. This needs to be a chart in
    the range of 4 weeks or more.

    Well they have had a bigger weight fluctuation in a few days than I
    have had in 18 years. Pretty sad

    Yes, but meaningless if it isn't a trend. (so don't be sad about that- its
    christmas 🙂 )

    I'm going to die not soon enough.I tried butt sex from my
    neighbours, and became the victim of AIDS. Complications in
    hospital following this resulted in full blown (pun intended) AIDS. I now need a boner
    transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a boner
    transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a boner donor:

    15 lbs is a substantial weight gain. Does it reflect in your clothes?
    It means about 1 extra clothes size, or so.

    Could your scale be not working right?

    If the scale is working, perhaps the lower GI isn't?

    No, I barely look an inch past 190 (my prime)!

    Everything fits as before...actually, they even seem to feel a just a
    tad bit looser (suits seem roomier in the shoulders, shirts roomier at
    the collar...).

    I guess I'm gonna just "hold" things at 225-230 for now and enjoy the
    end of the year first!

    Well, put it this way -- if it's off, it's consistently off. =)

    Seriously, I'm not putting you on, though this sounds so ridiculous I
    can't stop chuckling. That's why I'm posting: I hope someone out there
    loses 10 lbs. a day and gains 15 lbs. in three days! It's always been
    like that with me...hope it's not cancer or something!

    This is the thing -- is it "inherently" easier to lose weight than gain
    it, or vice-versa, or really just equal both ways?

    I seem to lose weight easily, but gain it just as easily, so that's
    what I'm wondering...I hope to go parachuting next year, and most
    outfits have a 225-lb. ceiling, so I'd like to be "safely" below
    that...plus, it'd be nice to see if I can get back down to my Glory
    Days form of 190!

    Though I'm not looking forward to replacing a $5K wardrobe....

    Yes, happy holidays, everyone -- best time of year to eat!!!!!!

    Weight is too general a term to answer your question. It's easy to lose
    fat and it's easy to put fat back on. It also easy to lose muscle but
    it's very difficult to put muscle back on.

    In a single day? It involved food poisoning, no doubt. If you can get it
    after a major binge event, that even increases the score. You spend one day
    porking yourself up to an unnaturally inflated weight, then the next 3
    crapping and puking it all away.

    Likely best to stick to the skiing.

    I hope you don't mind me saying this, but I lost four-five pounds this
    morning just taking a dump!

    Yeah, something really bizzare here.

    Sigh...this is one New Year's Resolution I will keep: stop fooling

    Indeed. Just not as easy as going into the fridge...same thrills,
    really, same excitement and intoxication.

    Didn't Jack Palance say something like that, after the host introduced him
    at the Oscars a few years ago...

    "Billy Crystal. I [censored] bigger than him."
