Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / December 2005Easy Go, Easy Come
Hi, All: Anyone else find it too easy to lose and gain wieght? I was 215 Saturday...now I'm almost 230, due to yummies consumed -- poor yummies! They were so peaceful in their lovely holiday packages.... I feel like that kid from the manga "One Pound Gospel," a boxer who just can't stop eating. Like him, though, I don't look fat at all, but I definitely notice it in my movements, whether it's biking up a hill or jetting up five stories. What's the most weight you've ever lost in a single day? I know it can fluctuate -- and it's mostly water sweated out -- but I'm curious...this is rather fascinating. Want to get back down to my prime of ~185-195 lbs. Sigh! Wish we had skiing near here (NYC)...not much else to do outdoors in winter time that's as fun as x-country! Was skiing only in a tee shirt for like two hours...that's how much of a workout it can be -- I had steam coming off me!

Talk to a boxer trying to make weight before a fight. In my experience Daily weight fluctuation is close to meaningless when trying to gauge weight loss (never mind fat loss).

Its just carb bloat ... overindulging in processed carbs attracts water ... Eat clean/cut back for a few days and it will all go away (as long as you stay away from those treats!) > Wish we had skiing near here (NYC)...not much else to do outdoors in > winter time that's as fun as x-country! Raining here in the northern Sierra Mtns of CA (Lake Tahoe) but the ski hills are all open now! Let it snow let it snow let it snow! :-) joanne > > I was 215 Saturday...now I'm almost 230, due to yummies consumed -- > > poor yummies!

I live in SF now. I skied at Northstar a couple of weeks ago and the snow was really sucky. I'm sure it's worse now. This is nothing like last year, is it? We need some good dumpage! Pow now! Martha Short term weight changes are often misleading. Charting weight over time shows the trend and thus gain or loss of fat. This needs to be a chart in the range of 4 weeks or more. > Hi, All: > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > for like two hours...that's how much of a workout it can be -- I had > steam coming off me! >Short term weight changes are often misleading.

Well they have had a bigger weight fluctuation in a few days than I have had in 18 years. Pretty sad >> Hi, All: >> [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >> for like two hours...that's how much of a workout it can be -- I had >> steam coming off me! >>Short term weight changes are often misleading.

Pretty sad Yes, but meaningless if it isn't a trend. (so don't be sad about that- its christmas :) ) >Yes, but meaningless if it isn't a trend. (so don't be sad about that- its >christmas :) ) No stupid, it's the 22nd, christmas is the 25th. Ari ------------ I'm going to die not soon enough.I tried butt sex from my neighbours, and became the victim of AIDS. Complications in hospital following this resulted in full blown (pun intended) AIDS. I now need a boner transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a boner transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a boner donor: http://www.IGotAidsFromButSex.org. > Yes, but meaningless if it isn't a trend. (so don't be sad about that- its > christmas :) ) This is the thing -- is it "inherently" easier to lose weight than gain it, or vice-versa, or really just equal both ways? I seem to lose weight easily, but gain it just as easily, so that's what I'm wondering...I hope to go parachuting next year, and most outfits have a 225-lb. ceiling, so I'd like to be "safely" below that...plus, it'd be nice to see if I can get back down to my Glory Days form of 190! Though I'm not looking forward to replacing a $5K wardrobe.... Yes, happy holidays, everyone -- best time of year to eat!!!!!! >> Yes, but meaningless if it isn't a trend.

Weight is too general a term to answer your question. It's easy to lose fat and it's easy to put fat back on. It also easy to lose muscle but it's very difficult to put muscle back on.

How about walking to/from commuter trains on both ends to get to work during a strike? Talk about a fun winter activity! I don't have to worry about taking my usual walk after lunch now. I get more than enough walking in before and after work. -- Liz > How about walking to/from commuter trains on both ends to get to work during > a strike? Talk about a fun winter activity!

Naw, the problem right now is that these holiday goodies are end-of-the-world-delicious! My bike-riding barely lets me break even! That's an hour of moderate-intense (depending on traffic) activity each way at ~300-600 calories per trip, and I'm still gaining weight! BTW, y'all should get that strawberry cheesecake at Costco's...it impressed everyone on the floor! > Hi, All: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > poor yummies!

No, I barely look an inch past 190 (my prime)! Everything fits as before...actually, they even seem to feel a just a tad bit looser (suits seem roomier in the shoulders, shirts roomier at the collar...). I guess I'm gonna just "hold" things at 225-230 for now and enjoy the end of the year first! > Could your scale be not working right? Well, put it this way -- if it's off, it's consistently off. =) > i Seriously, I'm not putting you on, though this sounds so ridiculous I can't stop chuckling. That's why I'm posting: I hope someone out there loses 10 lbs. a day and gains 15 lbs. in three days! It's always been like that with me...hope it's not cancer or something! > What's the most weight you've ever lost in a single day?

If you can get it after a major binge event, that even increases the score. You spend one day porking yourself up to an unnaturally inflated weight, then the next 3 crapping and puking it all away. Likely best to stick to the skiing. -s- > In a single day? It involved food poisoning, no doubt. I hope you don't mind me saying this, but I lost four-five pounds this morning just taking a dump! > If you can get it > after a major binge event, that even increases the score.

Sigh...this is one New Year's Resolution I will keep: stop fooling around with the pastries! > Likely best to stick to the skiing. Indeed. Just not as easy as going into the fridge...same thrills, really, same excitement and intoxication. > -s- >> In a single day?

Didn't Jack Palance say something like that, after the host introduced him at the Oscars a few years ago... "Billy Crystal. I crap bigger than him." |
