Re fluctuations, one of the less interesting parts of my job is having to teach graph description, so a couple of days ago, I taught vocab to describe what lines do-one of those things is fluctuate. Today, we had a quick look at shape description because they have to be able to describe objects as well. We didn't have a lot of time so to really drive home the idea of jagged, I gave a bit of paper a jagged edge with a pair of scissors (well, just indulging my primary school tendencies, but it was fun). One of the less able students (a uniformed civil servant in his late 30s) looked at it and said....isn't that fluctuate?

no I don't really give a shit what that poster thinks, but some things should not be forgotten

I must've missed the video but I remember seeing the picture.

If I let an insult bother me everytime, I would've dug up a hole and buried myself long time ago. Woman, post a pix when you're comfortable. And it's to share with the rest of us who care. Those don't care don't matter shit.

Use the fit of your clothing as a better guide to how you are doing, and be aware of salt and its water retaining qualities.

And most importantly it's not how you feel but how you look, and you look mahvelous

I don't care about the pounds too. I've lost some weight, but my measurements are still the same. Which sucks majorly. But I'm not discouraged. You keep on swimming, walking, biking whenever you've got the chance. By the way, biking in the rain sounds super fun. Jogging in the rain is cool too.

You measurements are the same because your stamina is so much more tumescent. I can almost see it form where I'm sitting.

back in the pool after two days too busy to swim... 100 lengths (just over a mile)...but that's two weeks with some form of decent exercise every day. And I re-lost one of those evil recovered pounds this morning.

if you can see it form where you're sitting, you're more flexible than I thought.

the second pound disappeared the next day, but this morning i found the fuckers again. Srsly, belly, it's time you started fluctuating in a downwards trend

We swam 3/4 of a mile and walked yesterday and ate almost nothing and you got heavier? There is no more muscle to build, don't pull that crap on me. This is all on you, belly, so you better shape up or i'mm'a consider diy liposuction. kthxbai

footfootfoot · 06-14-2011, 09:02 AM

You might need to switch from beer to wine, Monster.

monster · 06-14-2011, 09:50 AM

tried that. I'm not so alky that any alcohol will do. I like cold fizzy I can gulp. I did switch exclusively to the lower cal beer, though.....

Just got in from another bike ride. My legs feel streamlined...

monster · 06-14-2011, 09:51 AM

....I need to invent the belly bike, that's what.

Only weigh yourself weekly. Daily fluctuations will drive you crazy.

and it's a short drive :p

monster · 06-14-2011, 10:52 AM

Nope. I've weighed myself daily for years, still as sane as ever. I'm used to the fluctuations, don't patronize me. This is just a chatter "oh look how awesome I am" thread. Unsolicited advice is unsolicited.

As it happens I'm actually quite pleased that there is less fluctuation than there used to be/usually is. Weekly weigh-ins would worry me that I wouldn't know if it was fluctuation or gain/loss. Math nerds, gotta hate 'em.

monster · 06-14-2011, 10:55 AM

btw my face is obviously leaner, no chubby cheeks and that hint of a double chin is unhinting.

Let that be an example to you, belly!

I was gonna agree with Spexxvet, but I guess not.

Actually, I weigh myself daily too, hihi. And yeah, damn weight fluctuation is frustrating. But the weight by the assigned weigh in day is what I take down. I totally understand your frustration, Monster. Oh yeah, if your face is slimmer, then it's a good sign. Eventually, one day when you don't know it or seems like never, your waist will start to trim down.

Fat is so damn stubborn.

seems like lying on the sofa drinking beer and watching hockey too late is the key

re-lost those pounds and another one!!!!!. I shall change my exercise strategy accordingly

footfootfoot · 06-16-2011, 07:51 AM

For maximum weight loss the recommended strategy is playing hockey while watching people lying on the sofa (who are) drinking beer.
