4 dudes on serious diets !

muleman · Feb 27, 2012

Well I jumped back to 213 again. Not bad for eating Lays chips with the Amish boys on Saturday. I did get them to finish the oreos and should have sent the chips home with them. :hammer:

Going to leave early and have a real breakfast on the way to get my first of many shots. :w00t2:

Will make some more salad later to make up for it. :yum:

Diet is going to hell as are some other things. :hammer:

BigAl · Mar 2, 2012

I'll stay on track for ya , Bill . I am down about another 5 pounds this week . Good bye 45 pounds !!
I have never felt better in the past 15-20 years . For the first time in my life of yo yoing up and down in my weight I can feel a difference this time . I will never go back up again .

I honestly think my life depends on it . Sleeping through the night and waking up rested is a blessing .

Concentrate on YOUR health and not the other things.

WTH!!!

I stick to my new eating habits perfectly and I GAINED 2.2 pounds in one day !!!!!! I had been losing 1/2 to 3/4 pound every day or so .

I think I need to start eating more . I seem to do better on more calorie intake . That just seems crazy to me .
So to make me feel better I am having a beer . Not just any beer . A Samuel Smiths "Oatmeal Stout" . :clap:

I think i'll go knock off a Pizza delivery guy . :brows:

Don't feel bad Al. I bounced 5 lbs. twice in 4 days. Not going to worry about it right now. Sleep is a bigger priority as well as walking more. Not going to worry about much of anything anymore.

muleman · Mar 7, 2012

Good day for a walk later. Down 2 lbs. this morning but still up from where I was. Maybe I should just look at food and not eat it. Kind of like a mental fast for a few days. I think some of my gain is from eating things that we bought last week when down at our old neighborhood. :hammer:

Real food but most likely not good for you. Good for the mind though. :clap:

muleman · Mar 8, 2012

Wow! Guess I might be going back to the doc as my legs are swelling big time and of course the weight is shooting up badly. She checked them on Tuesday and thought the right one was swollen worse than the left. Just the opposite of normal. Now this morning the right one is swelled so tight it looks ready to explode and weight is up to 219. Did not eat much at all yesterday and only drank OJ and water. The only thing changed is skipping my daily laying with the legs up. I almost always fall asleep for an hour or so. Since I skipped that have not taken any sleep pills for 4 days now. This SUCKS!

Doc · Mar 8, 2012

Damn. Good luck with that Muley. It does sound worrisome. Get to the doc soon!

muleman · Sep 18, 2012

Well I see nobody else is following up on this either. I stayed at 215+- 3 lbs. almost all summer. Then this toe problem started and it makes it real hard to wear my teds stockings. My weight has jumped back up to 220 and just don't want to come down again. Wish my foot did not make it hard to walk far. I have been watching the sodium again but it ain't helping much. :hammer:

mak2 · Sep 18, 2012

Your ankles swollen?

muleman · Sep 18, 2012

Whole left leg swells. The valving got screwed from the Heparin I was allergic to back in 2007. Damn close to having it amputated. Spent weeks on IV lasix and compression wraps to get it back to almost normal. Doc at Cleveland Clinic told me it would be a problem for the rest of my life. He was right.

squerly · Sep 19, 2012

Well, my name isn't on this thread but I guess it's time for me to jump into the group. I'm starting at 250 lbs. Ready, set, go... !!!

muleman · Sep 19, 2012

Glad you jumped in. Dropped back one lb. from yesterday even after eating bad things for lunch. Restraint is tough when it smells so good.

Garmins_Dad · Sep 19, 2012

How tall are you? You don't look that fat. Your dog looks like it is really sorry for whatever it did and really doesn't want the chainsaw treatment! :poke:

muleman · Sep 19, 2012

Damn! That is one of those old mankiller saws. My father in law had one from back in the 60's. Thing had to weigh 20lbs. He offered it to me when he gave up wood burning but I turned it down. It had a 42 or 48 in. bar and I used it a few times on real big trees. You could not help but have a back ache after cutting with it.

mak2 · Sep 19, 2012

Dog just knows his human is not suppose to play with the chainsaw in the house, again. Gonna be trouble when mom human gets here.

I'm 6 foot 5 58" chest and 38 inch waist. 36 inch thighs... That dog has health issues.. But he is happy go lucky and runs around as much as i can.. He has bad hips, shoulders, nose and has a very delicate digestive track.. But we love him..

Human mom took the picture.. :whistling:

Little did she know it would stick up the whole house for three days.. :brows:

pirate_girl · Sep 19, 2012

I was figuring you were in the 6ft 5 or so range, GD.. by looking how tall you are in front of the door.
I wouldn't say you're fat either.
You're simply a husky young fella!
Just like my son Jeff lol
