is this all there is unless I give up beer?

still satisfied, at 6 foot, per Aug 19 wedding of my niece (on her Dad's birthday and her godfather's birthday - me, being his twin)

off this week, intend to up the ante on exercise

went to Mets game Sat nite, got my "Syndergaard as Thor" bobblehead and stayed for Mets to rally from down 5-0 to A's to winning in bottom of 9th on Flores HR. bobblehead going for $100 on ebay - but not mine, which Mrs Judge opened and played with the next morning. well, made that decision easier!

[DMT]

My league-mates and I threw in $100...lose at least 8% and don't have to pay. I started at a whopping 249 but am down to 236 after a month. Goal is 215.

hey, pal, we don't come here to do math problems!


just kidding, nice work. always helps to have goal.

funny thing about going to Mets game was that I happened to have missed lunch so I really needed to get some calories in. The pizza and ice cream didn't seem appealing (!), so I had a Nathan's hot dog (I think it was 250 calories). needed more, figured I'd have a rare hamburger at one of their air-conditioned "clubs." board shows burger and fries combo for $13.50 (and listed at 1,050 calories). I saw the "small" fries elsewhere listed at 625, so 425 for the burger alone can work.

except they won't let you have "just" the burger. you'll pay up and get fat and like it!

so I got another hot dog instead.

btw, the large fries is 1,250 calories. if that literally is the only food you eat all day, you have eaten crap but calorically -ok if you eat NOTHING else. of course, you'll be so hungry from that non-filling food that - yeah, just skip the fries. I don't even have a fondness for them anymore. it's slow-acting poison, no kidding (so are hot dogs, but it's more possible to not binge on those imo).

perfect symmetry of 20 lb lost!
even got in a half rack of ribs with Griswold at Dinosaur BBQ in Newark Fri nite, picked at mac and cheese and mashed potatoes as well

my niece's wedding (see page 1) is Saturday, so this was the finale. thanks for indulging me. may report back occasionally
and to anyone thinking "I should do this" - DO THIS!

I feel great

Can we start the weight gain thread now before you start the weight loss thread again next January?

[Judge Jude]

not me
I like me better this way, and am too old to be going back to lazy ways.
a lot of crap that you don't eat for a while becomes, well, unappetizing even to contemplate once you've gotten it out of your system.

took a rough day gastrointestinally yesterday, but a year-low is a year-low!

My league-mates and I threw in $100...lose at least 8% and don't have to pay. I started at a whopping 249.2 but am down to 236 after a month. Goal is 215.

Our final weigh-in was Fri and I won $400 after losing 27.8 pounds to 221.4. Now the goal is maintenance until our next round begins.
