lisacaron 5,075 Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) I'm in!!!! It would take 181.4 pennies to equal one pound. I think I just found a new way to save.....hmmm....could be a nice way to reward myself as I shed those pounds....

☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721 Posted January 18, 2014 found this on a blog and it fit on this thread: Hello, do you know me? If you don't you should. I'm a pound of fat, and I'm the happiest pound of fat that you would ever want to meet. Want to know why? It's because no one ever wants to lose me; I'm Only One Pound, just a pound. Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds or fifteen pounds, but never only one, so I just stick around and happily keep you fat. Then I add to myself ever so slyly so that you never seem to notice it, that is until I've grown to ten, twenty or even more pounds in weight. Yes, it's fun being Only One Pound of fat, left to do as I please. So, when you weigh in, keep right on saying "Oh, I only lost one pound." ( as if that were such a terrible thing!) For you see, if you do this you'll encourage others to keep me around because they will think I'm not worth losing. And I love being around you - your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips and every part of you. Happy Days!! After all, I'm Only One Pound of fat!!! 7 JOANNE M HOLL, blueturtle, forwardlooking and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dylanmiles23 2,198 Posted January 18, 2014 As my husband and I were driving home from TGIF tonight, he said we are fat. We are. He went to the cardiologist the other day and he was not thrilled. Hub gained some weight back. He is as lazy as me lately not going to the gym. Saw my WLS doctor today and he wants me back at the gym, too. I gained 3 pounds. Have a great weekend.

Oh well. Thank you for the kind and to the point thoughts. I saw that your Tars beat BC today. My niece went to BC and I know a lot of people that went there. I grew up about 2 miles from there on the main street, Commonwealth Avenue. About 2 miles down the other way was BU. Snowed today, UGH! My MIL insisted on going food shopping, so we took her. I do the driving and the shopping, hub sits and observes. Have a great weekend.

☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721 Posted January 19, 2014 i think weight loss success is how people shape their daily plans, (what they do today) and to think about the small steps they have already made instead of (i haven't loss, i am stalled, what a i doing wrong) read this.....NOTHING has gone wrong read this too.........A LOSS IS A LOSS.... 5 Debbie3sons, blueturtle, forwardlooking and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
