LOL Okay simmer down kids. Line up nicely and I'll take your requests under advisement.

ETA - I was bad just a few minutes ago... (hangs head in shame) I warmed up a couple of breaded chicken livers for snack. That's like a trillion calories in one go.

After posting my self portrait earlier, I have come up with my perfect Holiday theme song.

Roly Poly

This song was written by Bob Wills and performed by him and his Texas Playboys. Anyone remember them? I hate to date myself but I used to work at a club where they played. Anyway, enjoy.

Mame, come 'n visit me. You can walk to the grocery store, post office, bank, and Curves. In just over an hour, you'll have all your errands done and a half hour workout to boot!

Amok amok amok! I can never remember the name of that witches movie but I loved it! (And I'm not even a SJP fan!)

Scoots is banned? Huh. I'm glad y'all haven't banned me from here! :-)

Costacat, it's Hocus Pocus and I can never hear amok without saying it that way.

It's not dating yourself. The dixie chicks sang that song in a tribute to Bob Wills. Roly Poly, daddy's little fatty....

Of course, a song like that written today would never hit our PC airwaves, LOL.


Oh that's right Costacat, I've met you....you're banned!

LOL. JK. Actually this should be the Who wants to get healthy with me(and if I happen to drop 15 pounds in the process, that's cool) thread.

LOL I meant dating myself by saying that I worked with Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys. I know I'm not that old so it must have been a memory from a previous life. Right?

Ok, this was taken a few months ago, and weight wise it's fairly accurate. I could use some tone. I gain weight in my face first and foremost:
(I am the one with the face)

Escapee you look great! You really do! But I understand wanting to be thinner.

I have a friend who's brother's nickname is Poly just for that reason. lol!!

Barred then.

The one day I wear a white shirt, and they take my pic. I never wear white. You will only see me in dark colors. Dark, slimming, I fear white and pastels....ugh.

Escapee, I seem to recall that you were not needing to lose weight!

So along with Amanda's fuzz butt on Survivor, Escapee has fuzz face friends! :-)

Escapee you are so slender... I'd die happy if I even could remember being that slim!!!

That's the joy of being a woman, we're always tweaking ourselves to be better. Tweak, tweak, tweak.

I am being bad this morning and having a mocha from starbucks......rough night and needed an immediate wakeup happy thing this morning.

So I am indulging and drinking that, posting here, and listening to my celtic flutes CD and thinking slender thoughts....

My aunt sent me this site (yes THE aunt) and I thought I would share it with you all. I want to know what your reports say.

Ok, It says for me to lose 2 pounds a week I have to drop my caloric intake to 1400 calories.

So far I've had 340 in ONE mocha, ugh. Well, let's cut that in half because I won't drink the whole thing before it gets cold. Does anyone know the calories in a banana or a pear? I am going to google it and have that for breakfast.

I am within healthy range, but on the higher end. I am supposed to be between 130 and 160. OMG, 130? At 5'9? LOL I'd be invisible and have to buy a whole new wardrobe. I'll settle for 140-145 and be a happy clam.

Remember to eat healthy calories. While fruit is good for you, it shouldn't be all you eat. You need to eat protein, too, especially if you work out. Fruit can make a good snack if you are craving sweets, but it shouldn't be your entire meal. (It's why I add yogurt to my fruit smoothies, for the extra protein boost.)

And next time you want a mocha, do a nonfat soy mocha with 1 and a half pumps. You get less chocolate but it sill tastes chocolatey. And you'll get a few less calories that way! :-)

BTW, those weight charts are a joke, at least for me. I checked out your site, Escapee, and according it I am underweight by over 15 lbs. I have never, and would never, weigh 150 lbs. It says my weight range is 135-165. I've never even been at 140 lbs! The only thing it got right was that I have a small frame for my height. I guess if you're 5'10" and have 5' long legs, they can't figure the calculations correctly? I dunno. So odd.

Forgot to mention... a better indicator of health is your BMI. If your BMI is within the healthy range, then your weight is really just another number.

I know, and mine is in the healthy range, but still.... Mine was measured about a year ago and I think it was below 20, this is saying it's 23, but still in the healthy range. My doctor said I have a lot of muscle. Yeah, I do, except the places I need it the most.

The problem is I am tall, everyone else I know is short. So I outweigh all them by at the least, 10 pounds, and I HATE that!
So they are all "OMG I weigh 140 pounds, I have to lose 10 pounds" and it ticks me off, because I am like "Well, don't feel bad, I weigh 155." And they say they would just die if they weighed that much......I am six inches taller than my tallest sister and nine inches taller than another sister. The youngest sister will probably be my height. Then, I see people who are my height, and what I think is about my build and they are buying clothes that are smaller than the ones I have to squeeze into. So it's frustrating. And more than losing pounds, I want to lose inches.

I have been told to weight train, and I will lose inches, but probably gain about 4-5 pounds. OK, that freaks me out, I do NOT want to weigh 160. SO this is my dilemma....I want to lose the 10-15 pounds THEN gain back some pounds in muscle....

This sounds really bad, huh.


I didn't finish the mocha and I usually get non fat, but was so sleepy when i wen tthrough the drive, I frogot to tell em Fat Free. I drank about half. So now I am drinking black chai tea. No calories :-)

I haven't eaten the banana yet.

I'm staying on track without too much extra sweat. I had a serving(according to the box) of spinach and feta cheese pizza for dinner last night. The crust is made from whole wheat. Tonight we are having baked tilapia & green leaf salad.
Last night when I went to bed at 9:30, I was feeling very hungry but managed to fall asleep without raiding the fridge. This morning I woke up and my weight was 153.6, lol. every ounce counts!
Escapee, I think you look very healthy, do you feel healthy? I feel healthy. Like Mameblanche said, we have to tweak it. Staying healthy is harder for some of us to maintain than others so we should try not to compare ourselves with others although I am guilty of that. Those charts don't know me, but my doctor does and she says that I am in the healthy range at 5'6" and my weight. So I am trying to wean myself off the stuff that bumps me up into the unhealthy range.
rambling done

except I want to say that I am loving this thread! Thanks for getting us motivated Escapee!
