FatBloggers Poll #2

by Rick April 30, 2007

Thanks everybody for participating in our very first poll.  Looks like we had 19 participants, and several of us are in the 21-30 pounds lost range.  Our next poll is, “How long have you actively been losing weight?”  Everything I read talks about the length of the “dieting” process and how it translates into long [...]

Pardon our dust

by Rick April 29, 2007

I’m experimenting with a few things, most noticeably the layout and design.  Long story short, I like the i-feel-dirty design with its ragged edges, etc…but unfortunately it doesn’t support sidebar widgets.  It was just getting to much to wrestle with the html code every time I wanted to do something.  Besides, change is good, right?

Motivation low, compliance high

by Rick April 29, 2007

It was tough yesterday.  After another full weekend of class, I went to a family birthday barbecue that included a London broil, macaroni salad, chips, strawberry shortcake, etc…  You know the drill.  Unfortunately, I showed up with only about 8 WW points left on the table, but I was able to get by just on [...]

Including the Wife

It often publishes articles that are based in realism such as this one from the May 2007 issue. You should take time to read the article, as there [...]

My Confession

by Rick April 27, 2007

Forgive me, bloggers, for I have binged.  It has been two weeks since my last exercise, and I have basically ignored all common sense when it comes to eating right. I don’t know.  Maybe this is normal?  Does everybody fall off the boat for a little while here and there?  A couple of weeks ago, [...]

Push to Lose The Tush?

by Rick April 27, 2007

I’m not sure that our sub-title accurately describes all of us.  Looking at myself in the mirror this morning, I realized that I need to lose weight to find mine.  If I had a tush, I wouldn’t have to wear suspenders with all of my pants. It is catchy and rhymey though…..

Week 16: Weigh-In

by John T April 26, 2007

I do love it when things work out the way they are supposed to. Jan, my Weight Watchers leader, gives us ‘bravo stickers’ for; tracking everyday, working out at least 5x, and drinking all your water. It’s pretty amazing, that when you do those things, you lose weight! Go figure! Anton, drum roll if you [...]
