I went to the doctor's for a check-up today. Those bastards made me get on a scale. Now, my brother, the Amazing Ultra-marathon runner, AndyMan, recently blogged about his holiday weight gain up to 192 fairly solid pounds. Geez, what a lightweight. Like Jack Palance's character told Billy Crystal's character on City Slickers, "I crap bigger'n you". I've picked up 16 absolutely unnecessary pounds in the last three months, bringing the ungodly total to 246 freakin' pounds. This is not considered torture to the scale at the present time, but when Leon Pannetta becomes the CIA chief... well, let's just say I've got some life-style changes to make. I've already mentioned in comments in Star's blog, I've resolved to run a marathon in 2009. Reckon I'd better get to it. Like it or not, I'll bring you more Neil tomorrow. In the interim, this cartoon intro reminded me of me.

Biggest Loser Couples...you in partner?
You aren't that bad. I've seen pictures.
But give less meat, lots of fruits, veggies, and whole grains a try. Plus exercise.
You want me to send you a copy of Skinny Bitch? You might like it. The authors are a lot like me. ;-)
Kate IS skinny - I saw her today at Publix with one of her sons.
Amy, you're already in pretty good shape. I need a real lard-ass to help me win (I mean, in addition to myself).
Yeah, sure, Kate. Skinny Bitch. Fat Bastard. It's all good.
Lynne, I'm not going for skinny; just not morbidly obese!
How tall are you?
I fit into the skinny bitch category too. 6ft/155lbs. Bitchiness does that to you.
Shoot, John, I hadn't weighed 155 since tenth grade. My height is the same as yours: Six feet. I'm actually reasonably fit, even at this gi-normous weight; but I've got to lose at least thirty pounds to keep my heart healthy. 210 is a good weight for me. I weighed 205 when I completed my one and only (previous) marathon.
Holy Schmitz, I am not playing Buck Buck with you (Here comes SuperDave, parents pulling their kids off the streets!)
And Kate, the goal isn't "Not that bad!" It's more like, well, it's better than that!
You'll do fine, I got a bottle of scotch for the first of us that can lose 20 pounds and keep it off for two months! Ready set.... Go.
It's on like Donkey-Kong, Bro!
(heh. I've already lost a few. At the doctor's, I had on a coat and tie and shoes and it was in the afternoon. Lost almost ten just weighing in this morning!).
Weight Watchers 1(800)651-6000
Aw, Lynne, now that's just plain mean.
SuperD,
Some people that join Weight Watchers only want to lose 10 pounds. Some want to lose many more.
Weight Watchers is a way of life. It teaches GOOD habits that will keep you thin the rest of your life. These GOOD habits help drop the weight you want, and to keep it off the rest of your life, which is the point anyways.
I would be over 300 lbs. if I never joined in 1976. I have been a lifetime member all of these years, and also worked for them part-time in Tampa.
Men generally lose weight the fastest. You could drop 30 pounds by March, just by changing your habits.
Wow. That sort of freaks me out a little that someone saw me at Publix with my kids.
I'm glad I wasn't picking my nose.
Lynne, it must work pretty darn well, as it is really hard to imagine that you ever needed their help.
Kate, people see me with my kids all the time. Usually at the principal's office.
Kate, you were picking out produce : ) My son was waiting for me so I couldn't stop and say hello.
I'm sure I will see you in there (after school) again soon.
Answer this for me: How does someone who burns 500-3500 cal's a day, eats less than 2000 cals per day, and pretty much could have written "Skinny Bitch" NOT lose weight?
Let me know when you or Oprah figure that one out...a friend wants to know.
That's a trick question, right?
