Losing weight in 2005

“Lots of hills; they work the glutes!”

“what you mean? i already hike lots of hills!”

“Sometimes we just have to learn to accept our bodies the way they are, Gem...”

“I would rather have a bubble butt that is firm than a flabby flat one.

BTW, I am having another salad for lunch today. This damn South Beach diet sure is healthy, but it gets old!”

“bit, yeah or quit hiking. LOL j/k

embear....south beach wasn't for me at all.
a lot of people love it though.

I reduce my cal intake, that's what works best for me. carbs after the gym, protein too.

no more food after 6PM. That's it. you'll loose”

“Although I also have no ass whatsoever (especially now that I've lost so much weight) my big problems area is my abs. Even when I was 16, and weighed 152 lbs after coming back from a summer of Drum Corps, my abs weren't visible. I could do 100 situps, and you still couldn't see them. Such is life.”

“Bit, me too. abs are def my problem area.

Gem, dont you get hungry after 6? I dont even get home from work until 8 or 9. :(”

“not good enough.

where there's a will, there's a way!
I am 100% sure of that!!! Just got to try harder that's all.”

“embear, eat at work then.
my sister started a diet a while back and didn't eat a lot all day long because she was at work. She only ate in the evening after work. She didn't loose one single lb.

It's been a while, so I don't know how late she ate, but I think 8 or 9 is too late. Prolly the reason why you don't loose. I can tell you that I wouldn't loose for sure if I would eat that late.

Oh, and yes, I get hungry after 6PM, but if I am on a diet...there won't be no food for me after 6PM. (okay, unless I become weak, which happens once in a while)

“152? I was 165 when I weighed in for freshman football when I was in the 9th grade :D I guess I'm just big boned :|

Anyhoo... I never worry about actual weight. I worry instead more on how I look and how I feel. If I look and feel great and have lots of energy then who cares about a pound or two :D”

“I try hard not to eat after 6:00PM as well. Yah, I get hungry, but I try to keep myself busy so I don't think about it. I usually wake up starving too, which is supposed to be good.

Sometimes, if it's really really bad, I'll pop some Lite popcorn and eat that. Fills you up and doesn't have a lot of calories.”

“I haven't lost much weight but I did move back a hole in the belt”

“That was pretty much the least I weighed at my present height. I got back up to about 165 within the next year or so, and stayed there until after high school, when beer began to put the weight on me, lol...

I had been in Drum Corps...a summer of marching a lot and not eating much. It'll take the weight off ya.”

“so how much weight have you lost now, bitpusher?”

“bit, I didn't know you were gay.”

“Its kinda hard to eat at work when I am teaching little kids how to tinker on the keys. :)

I can just imagine it now....

"Mrs Smith, do you mind if I warm up my dinner in your microwave while Ellie is practicing piano?"”

“This morning I weighed 202, so that makes 27 pounds.”

“Ewker,

Bit isn't gay. He just enjoys intimate physical contact with males.”

“wow that's a lot!! lose some for me while you're at it, mmmkay.”

“since bit was in the drum corp I know he is gay, most of the guys are..lol”

“You people obviously have never had any experience with a Drum and Bugle Corps...”

“bit, my daughter was in Drum and Bugle Corp for 2 summers, so yes I know ;)

did you do the flag or sword...lol”

“Never mind.”

“I know you are not gay Bit.....I saw your hottie of a wife!”

“bit, knows what I am talking about.”

“I haven't faintest clue what you're talking about. Drum Corps is way different now from when I was in, so why don't you be specific?”

“most of the guys who do drum and bugle corp are gay, talking about the sword,flag and rifle line

did they not have that when you were in it”

“Now that it's finally summer in the south I was just thinking of my diet and how fat I am the other day lol. Actually what I found if your feeling hungry through out the day or during the night your not consuming enough "fat calories" ....”

“bit, way cool on the drum corps. our high school band teacher used to take us to a competition nearby - i thought they ROCKED! the precision is absolutly amazing!

ewker, i know you're a nice guy, but sometimes you come across as an a$$. i hope its not the image your trying to portray.”

“I was in Drum Corps in 95, and I am far from gay.

It is A LOT of work!

Ewker is just making himself feel better by making fun of others, don't worry about it.”

“smiley, have you ever met or seen the guys who do flag, rifle or sword with the drum corp. they are gay. My daughter was on those lines with the drum corp for 2-3 yrs and every guy was gay.

BTW Blind Willie is that where you learned to use a rifle

“If I hear one more person tell me that "you're not losing weight because you are putting on muscle mass" I am going to muscle my boot right up their @ss

“Dude, I am in a combat zone. Where are you?
Cheap shot, don't you have anything better?

Maybe one day you will grow up.

I fart in your general direction.”

“sorry to hear you in a combat zone. don't wish that on anyone. Hope the wind changes back to you

“I want some cake!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!FEED ME!!!!!!!!!!!”

“(OPIE) that's like saying everyone in the band was gay...we know they got made fun of, but they weren't...musicians aren't gay...have you seen a black military schools rifle corp?...police dept/scottish pipes and drums corp? a precision marching drum and bugle corps...they had news reels of that during WWII. Parade marching can be a highly strict skill, and baffle the best of soldiers”

“In the Marines, we drill (march) a lot. I just went through the NCO's course, It has a lot of drill involved. The silent drill team is really some thing to watch.







And Ewker.... That last comment was funny.

Later man,

“bizare foods...
ewww....

frog overies
birds nest soups
ant larve

sure!! oh gawd, and they are not even done yet talking about the worst I think.

I ain't eatin' no stinkin' bug.”

“i started atkins again. i've only been on it for 2 days. i'm gonna weigh myself tomorrow. normally when i start atkins, i lose like 3 lbs the first couple days.”

“mmmmm... OVARIES!

*licks lips*

JK. I can't watch those shows.. Too gross.”

“OK, so it's been four months today since I started my diet. This morning the scales said 200, which is a 29 pound loss so far, and 4 pounds for the month of April.

I have 15 pounds to go to reach my goal of 185. At this rate, I should be at my goal in about four more months, or around the end of August.”

“Congrats”

“Congrats bit!! That's awesome! can't hardly recognize you on the newer pics now, I'll never be able to pick u out of a lineup in august.”

“I'll be the skinny one. lol...”

“great going bit :D Will you model for us in speedos?”

“Ha! I never looked good in a Speedo.”

“bit, that's awesome. Keep up the good work.

I know how bad I felt a couple of years ago when I maxed out at 205...then I lost 30 lbs and felt so much better. Put back on 15, have lost five, hope to re-lose the other 10 by the beginning of July.”

“Great job Bit! That's some hard work and dedication.”

“i know you all heard of fitdays. I even purchased their software. it's awsome.

What I don't like about it is that I have to give so much details if I add foods.
It's an awesoe program though.

I now foudn the calorieking software. I am using the 10 day trial so far. It's not going into as much details, but it's easy and fast.
FAST being the keyword here.
I think the url is calorieking.com

oh and an online cal burn counter:
http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_burn.html

I like this one because it has a lot of choices, incl. hiking, hikig hills, and added lbs packweight etc..”

“Yay Bit! You are gonna be one hot sexy mama...oops...I mean dude!

I have lost about 5 lbs now. Its funny, I was on the South Beach diet for 2 weeks, didnt lose a pound, got off it because I had no energy, and then I started losing the wieght. WTF? Now I am just doing a lot of cardio and eating better and am still losing.”
