04-10-08 Thursday Weigh-In

April 10th is here

Is your scale near

Or would you like to just grab a beer

That's not good dear

It would wind up on your rear

April !0th is today

Get out of the hay

You have numbers to say

Don't go out and play

It's the day you weigh

It's April 10th this week

Then April 17th you'll seek

Be sure you don't become weak

Be sure your food you tweek

An exercise to your peak

My poem is at it's end

Now I'll push send

And your day will begin

Couldn't wait to log on this a.m. to check out the new poem.:p It's the highlight of my Thursday! Did my weigh in last night! MUCH MUCH better than the last two weeks when I gained! I lost 4.4 lbs. this week BUT remember that's after gaining 2.6 lbs. two weeks ago (remember....too many jelly beans, ham and macroni salad???) and .6 lbs. last week! So actually it's like loosing 1.2 lbs. in 3 weeks. I was really surprised but very happy! Hope everyone else has great results too! Enjoy!

Thanks for the encouraging poem Belle. I really look forward to them. Not so good for me this week-gained .8. Feeling bloated and flabby. Will persevere nonetheless, hopefully next week will be a loss. Have a great Thursday and a wonderful weekend everyone!!!

The poem is a hit!

I do love your wit,

for me just to get.

At this computer I sit,

and I try to fit.

You give us each Thursday,

a glimpse into your way,

of brightening our day.

Don't ever make us pay,

to read what you say.

The time has now come,

to spit out my gum,

and quit acting so dumb.

I want to be a beach bum,

but need to lose this tum.

Today, I remembered the scale,

Though not yet a rail,

the numbers didn't cause a wail.

OK, no Belle am I but I do try to let her read a poem, I hope she will read it and not stop after a couple of lines. The scale was nice today, I did lose one pound. So I am now at 319.

Good Morning,

Dontstayathome, great job.

I gained 1 lb. Actually I had a salty meal. I'm thinking I'll weigh again tomorrow morning or Saturday and report back because when I weigh in Tuesday I was a 1 b. lower.

I'm on my quest to lose a couple more lbs, before my cruise in 2 weeks. I'm at total loss of 5 lbs. Better than nothing I suppose.

On top of that I still have a sore right knee and still have to take it slow on exercise but still doing it just at a modified pace.

Good luck to everyone this week.

Thanks for the great poem, Belle - it adds a special something to the weekly weigh-in :) .

Down 2 lbs this week - 45 lbs since the beginning of the year.

Your all trying so hard and doing

Great!

Don'tstay..Be happy, you got your gain off

plus some more. That's good.

Newbie..You'll get it off next week. Maybe

just water weight because you feel bloated.

Daniel..Your poem I did see

I read it with glee

You did it just for me

Glad to see your down this week. Keep up

the good work.

Wine..Sorry your knee still giving you trouble.

A cruise in two weeks! Be Happy Don't Worry!

Where are you going?

Copa..2lbs lost, 45 since the 1st! Congrats Big Time!

How did you do it in 3 months and a week? Give us

your tips.

I'm very happy you all like my poems and they help start

your day and week. You know I'll be winning the

Pulitzer Prize soon for Poetry. What will I do with

all the money? Guess I'll have to take you all on a

CRUISE! LOL

Congrats, Losers! :D

Belle & Daniel ~ I loved both of your poems. :)

A day late ... and up 2.8 pounds also!!! I had to go out of town ... stayed in a great Inn in Freeport, ME (love the town and LL Bean too) .... I was at a seminar for work, they served great food, wonderful desserts and I had some really delightful Merlot.

I think most of it was from eating oddly ... I'm hoping it will be gone next week. (I'm actually down 1.4 pounds from yesterday)!!! Jan

Hey Belle,

Thanks for the poem and congrats to all of the losers. I maintaintained this week, which is a ggod thing b/c I tangled with a creme brulee this Tues and lost.:eek: :D But it was a justified cheat (if their is one) it was my anniversary.

I weighed in again this morning and was down 2 lbs. from yesterday. Think it was definitely a salty meal. Will try to keep it off this week.
