Losing weight in 2004

“My feeling on dieting is that you should just eat less. You don't necessarily have to change what you eat.

If you want to be healthy as opposed to just thinner, then you watch the kind of food you eat.

The day will never come where I will never eat white rice or potatoes, because grains are better. Some of these restrictive diets are really killing the quality of life that is as important as your health & weight.
I don't think anyone will die any sooner from eating flour products either.

When I die, I don't want to have makeup put on me. I want to be dipped in an egg batter & dredged in flour with a can of olive oil in my hands. As my casket leaves the church, I want people to throw white rice at my casket, lol.”

“I feel like I'm eating good and lost 27#. No white bread or potatoes for this boy!”

“Ewker, You looked great at SG.”

“Thanks Tango, I appreciate that but I still feel I need to lose somemore weight”

“I started the South Beach diet on Monday morning and I already lost 4 lbs. Granted, I'm starving for some pasta, but hey, it works.”

“thats kinda fast there Scorchess.”

“I also go to the gym though”

yeah she lost her big head after Twinks hammered it :-O”

“ok going to try something different.

going on the South Beach Diet. I like the foods they allow you to eat.

wish me luck :)”

“GOOD LUCK! That's what I'm on. 9 lbs lost in 1 week and 1 day.”

“i know and I am very proud of you!!

your going to look hot for Japan!!.

I am thinking that I will get off the ferry in the morning and walk to work. it's about 2.6 miles to my job. even if i take the subway half way, I can still get a good 1.5 miles in.”

“Scorchy- 9 pounds! You're gonna whither away! Did ya need to lose weight? Ya seemed pretty fit looking to me. But congrats anyway! I've gained a little but it's 'cause I slowed down on the gym thing. Oh well.”

“I've dropped 40 pounds since the fire, just weighed myself today. I'm probably at a healthy weight - maybe I can keep most of it off?”

“Yours would be the most extreme method of weight loss I ever heard of, ped...”

“lol, mebbe I shoulda said, "don't try this at home."”

“lol, definitely...

I did have a buddy lose about 10 pounds on the "Infected Testicle Diet".

Somehow I don't think that one's going to be sweeping the nation, either.”

“still at my target of 193 and holding.

Go gang (except ped, you better stay off your diet!)”

“10 lbs down so far!”

“You're wastin' away to nothin'!”

“I need 20 more pounds to go away....50 lost, 20 to go. Its getting harder and harder!!!”

“Still holding at 153 - pretty much my goal weight. I've increased my running enough now that I can have a cookie or a piece of candy when I feel like it. Also, I'm able to have a beer or glass of wine with dinner whenever I want. This weekend we'll be eating a lot - getting away for our anniversary. We'll probably do some walking around to burn it off!”

Open sore? I've lost my appetite.”

“Just hearing the words "Infected Testicle Diet" is enough to make you puke up a pound or two - thanks, Bit!”

“I wonder how many infected testicles scorchy had to eat to lose ten pounds? Hopefully not too many.”

“No, nothing like that. He had a vasectomy and the wound got infected. He said it felt like he was constantly being kicked in the stomach, and he couldn't eat for a week or so.

He didn't recommend it, either.”

“I just immediately lost my appetite for the next 8 days.... give or take another five lbs there.

Take off another extra pound for puking up my dinner.”

“See scorch, the bloated ballsac diet is working for you! Great job. LOL”

“So glad I've been able to help you all...


Just be glad I don't have pics.”

“Scorchfire, you'll need a stronger stomach than that in the CIA. ;-)”

“Hey, haven't seen this thread for awhile. I been trying a wonderful diet the last few months. I call it the "get sick and lie in bed" diet. All you gotta do is contract strep throat (twice), go to the ER for an absess in your throat (at least once), and get mono by kissing the wrong girl(s). Then just watch as those pounds melt right off!

Feeling so much better. Other than a little ear infection, I'm fit as a fiddle! Hope all is well with y'all.”

“Is Tofu allowed on any of these high protein, low carb diets?

I was getting rice from this Asian buffet & got a sample of the tofu. It was pretty good. Tofu picks up the taste from what it's cooked with. This tofu was cooked with green peppers & onion.”

“South Beach has tofu, tempeh, veggie meat substitutes as good. Same as beef, chicken or fish.”

“Hi chips, so glad your feeling better :)
hope you can make it to the Ithaca trip...


ok im up to almost 2 miles a day for walking. feels good. but wish I had a shower at work. ekkkyyy feeling.”

“Hey Chips! Been wonderin' about you. Sorry to hear about the illness deal. Glad you're up and around. If you need to kill a day or so, read up on the Ithaca thread and let me know if this still may be in your plans.

So, how many pounds are you down. I'm still hanging in at 201 or 202...”

“No! Don't mention losing weight by illness, or bit will bring up "The Infected Testicle Diet" again!”

“heh heh heh”

“That Ithaca thread is just plain intimidating. I'm gonna be busy with wedding stuff that friday and saturday in Rochester (wedding and reception is saturday afternoon / evening). I'm gonna be so close, it'd be just a pity if I couldn't stop by. Anyone gonna still be around Sunday?

Even if I cant do Ithaca, I might be driving a friend back to NYC after the weekend, staying for the week. Maybe I can stop by for some tofu!

My weight's pretty much stable at 225. I'd like to start running again, and strength training and such, but I'm taking it slow until I'm completely over this mono thing.”

“you are always welcome at the treehouse, but leave that tofu crap at home LOL


ok, took treebeards GPS with me.
took train for a few stops then got out and walked the rest of the way to work.

2.20 miles..

last night I walked all the way to the ferry. not doing that one again. tuckered me out big time.

so if I walk 2.20 miles to work, and about 1.0 miles home, then that 2.20 a day of walking. not bad!”

“Hey hips! We'll be there until Sunday. Then, you can come on back to NYC with us. No problem...”

“Don't know if y'all saw this article. Basically, it says that the long term success is about the same with either a low fat or low carb diet, although the low carb one gets results sooner. Just a little food for thought (heh heh)....”

“South Beach is low carb/right carb and low fat/right fat. I think that is a a basic difference from atkins.”

“Treebeard! Maple stole your GPS!”

“How am I going to track her movements now?”

“Leave it in "breadcrumb mode" next time...”

“oh real nice you bird brains...”

“ok how about

turtle fart.


lets see you try that one.”

“Tony Randall is looking awfully thin these days. Wonder what his secret is?”

“New gadget to help people lose weight

Damn, this guy's going to make a mint selling this thing to stupid, desperate fat people. Why can't I think of something like this? Crap.”
