Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 Hey Don, I agree with Laurel that 25# is too much in two months. I've been told by "people in the know" that 2 pounds a week is a good goal and more likely to stay off if lost slowly. I know I need instant gratification too, but... So, I'll try for 10 pounds. At least you can exercise more rigorously than those of us who can't run anymore. (That's a good excuse to start with.) I've gained around 5-7 pounds this last year and I do notice it's more difficult to haul around the extra weight. Craig has lost about 12 pounds since he retired by increasing his exercise and modifying his diet, so, surely I can too. Rosie has/had a Chub Club. I guess we could start PLS Pudgies.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 Don: Yep, I know what you mean. I too absolutely love my " comfort foods " , and can polish off a row of cake, just to make sure it is acceptible company food. I'll join you in your misery........but, 25# is too much to lose in 2 months. I'll shoot for 10#. See you at the scales next week!

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 Don, You lucky devil you. That close to Krispy Cremes. It's 12 miles to the closest one here. But I have never eaten a bad Little Debbie Cakes. But Oh those donuts. I will join you in weight loss, It will do us both good, ( and I) but I'll go for 20 pounds. 15 is safer in two months. I got back from the Dr. today and he put me on Lipitor. My cholesterol is high and I have a heart blockage, not severe, but enough to listen to the Doc. We could call ourselves PLS Plumpkins. Anything would be OK. You get things going and I for one will go for it. I did it before and lost 47 pounds and everyone ask me if I were sick. So I'm not going that far. I was 222 and dropped to 175. Regards Byron and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 I want to be a plumpkin! My bane is aerobic exercise. My appetite is way down but so is my activity. I think an exercise plan for mobility impaired adults would be awesome! Lavon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 Don, I need to lose 10-15 lbs, all in the tummy! My husband and I are cutting out the sugars. But what I really need is some excersize. I do stretches but they don't seem to help the tummy. I'm thinking of water excercise so I don't get too worn out.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2001 Report Share Posted June 3, 2001 Bonnie, Those of us trying to loose 10 or 15 lbs don't necessarily have just that to loose - however is really that skinny and I think we should say rotten things about her when she can't hear :-). To speak for myself- I could drop 80 lbs without even getting skinny! Be kind to yourself - a 16 lb loss would have me sacrificing goats!
