Author Topic: Watch Ian Lose Weight Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-23-2004 01:27 PM                     215-pounds I haven't been this light since collage. Yesterday one of the inevitable boxes of See's candy showed up at work. Nine pieces later I thought I had messed up. But I am still 3-pounds lighter than last week. The Weight Watchers person even commented that I shouldn't be losing weight during the maintenance phase of the program. But I ran 3-miles, 5-days this week. I am going home to my Mother's house tomorrow and I'm sure that all caution will be thrown to the wind over Christmas. My Grandmother is doing her famous Buche de Noel for desert tomorrow night. Well check back in a couple of weeks to see how I maintained over the holidays.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper!

Soon you'll be down to my weight! 160 something..  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 12-23-2004 05:18 PM                     Dang Ian, soon we'll be the same weight. I'm hanging around 212 these days.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-22-2005 01:47 PM                     215 lbs. Just today I became a "Lifetime Member" of Weight Watchers. This means as long as I weigh in every month I don't have to pay the weekly fee. If I miss a month, I think I have to start paying the fee again. Being a lifetime member doesn't mean that you are penalized for gaining weight, they just think if you have to come in once per month, you will spot weight trends and take corrective action. I wasn't the only "Lifetime Member" awarded today. There was a young woman who has lost 120 lbs. When pressed as to how long it took, she reluctantly admitted that it had taken her 3-years and that in the first year she didn't lose any weight. Now that is determination. Imagine continuing to come even though by all appearances the program isn't working. As you might imagine, I heartily recommend Weight Watcher's. They have a reputation for being for housewives and old ladies, but the program works and it has the best success rate for customers keeping their weight off. As they said this morning, now my real challenge begins, keeping the weight off. This week I have been hungry or bored after dinner and have gone back the kitchen for buttered bread or a late night peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I put on 1.6 lbs. this week, so I have to rein it in just a bit. At least I know how much to eat to maintain my weight loss and just how little it takes to put on a little weight. I've been nursing a fragile foot so I haven't been running. I need to get back in to the running so I do it 3-times per week. I also may look in to joining a gym although I detest the whole gym culture, so I may look in to alternatives. Thanks for all of your support. It's been fun writing about this journey here. I'll have to dredge this thread up every year and report in.  |  IP: Logged Christian Volpi Master Film Handler Posts: 349 From: Arlington, NE Registered: Apr 2004 posted 01-22-2005 01:52 PM                        Congrats, Ian. Keep your head high and your weight down! Now, if I can only lose that extra 40 pounds that I've put on since high school.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

You'll be beating them off with a stick...  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-07-2005 11:28 AM                     I see Jim didn't make good on his threat. For the past two months I have been winging it somewhat. I haven't been attending Weight Watcher's meetings and have been trying to just use common sense with my diet. Well it hasn't been working. Although I still run a couple of miles every other day, I have not been physically active. I need to get out and move more. I need to get off of my duff! I weighed in this morning at 227 lbs. That is 7 lbs above my stated goal of 220 and 17 lbs over my all time low of 210 lbs. I need to keep it somewhere between 215 and 220. So this week and the next three weeks I am going to get Draconian and try to stick to my program. After that, I'll be in Telluride and Maine and it will be hard to stick with the program. But I'll try. But my first challenge is Omelette Express this morning. Stay tuned.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-13-2005 09:31 PM                     224.2 lbs. I'm not sure if giving a pint of blood, yesterday is cheating or not?  |  IP: Logged
