Author Topic: Watch Ian Lose Weight Dominique Replogle Film Handler Posts: 61 From: Highland Utah Registered: Apr 2004 posted 05-07-2004 07:42 PM                        Ian, I commend you on your decision. You have inspired me. I am not quite morbidly obese. However, I could stand to loose a coupel pounds. I am gonna change my intake too. We can bouy each other up if you need a spotter. With regards to the limes. I gave up soda a few years ago and started loosing weight without even trying. I leveled off after a while and it started to take some work. But sticking to water and cutting out the fast food helped a lot. I am not a big believer in all of this diet of the day shit. Just eat semi sensibly and cut out the pop plus even a little exercise each day does wonders. Try those plastic limes with the juice inside you get at the grocery store. It is not fresh but you will get the flavor all the same and it beats plain water. I am sitting at my desk with a 64 oz coke in front of me. It is full and I am gonna go dump it right now and get some water. Seriously, you have inspired me. Thanks buddy!  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-08-2004 02:11 PM                     Way to go Dominique. Progress at the end of week 2: 282.6 lbs. I lost 6.4 lbs this week. Total loss of 16.2 lbs with Weight Watchers in two weeks. The landscaping is done, so no more shoveling granite. I guess I'll have to join a gym. Last night I had miniature lamb chops, or as I call them Lamb-cicles. Tip o' the week: McDonalds sells Kiddy Ice Cream Cones for $27-Cents. 2-Points. Next week we open the film Super Size Me and I handed out promotional post cards at the Weight Watcher's meeting.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-09-2004 12:47 PM                     Dominique you should consider switching to diet soda if you can't kick the soda habit. Supposedly sodas sweetened with Splenda have a lesser effect on blood sugar, but I myself really haven't noticed a difference. Also consider some of the "splash" drinks you can get at costco and hi health, they are great.  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 05-10-2004 08:29 AM                     FIFTY CENTS for limes?!?! Jeezus... They're 10 for a dollar here, and that's when they're NOT on sale. Send me your address, Ian and I'll ship you a case. =TMP=  |  IP: Logged Dominique Replogle Film Handler Posts: 61 From: Highland Utah Registered: Apr 2004 posted 05-11-2004 07:22 PM                        Thanks Mike. I will look into that.  |  IP: Logged Dominique Replogle Film Handler Posts: 61 From: Highland Utah Registered: Apr 2004 posted 05-13-2004 10:08 PM                        update: Went to the doctor for a check on my acid reflux and found I have lost 14 pounds.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-15-2004 03:12 PM                     Progress at the end of week 3: 278.2 lbs. I lost 4.4 lbs this week. Total loss of 20.6 lbs with Weight Watchers in 3-weeks. Was able to jog 3-miles on Tuesday. Wednesday I rode my bike to work. Thursday we had an event here at the theatre for the Sonoma County Bike Coalition. 170 people rode their bikes to the theatre for a free screening of The Triplets of Bellville. (170 bikes parked in 8-parking spaces) Super Size Me isn't turning out to be the hit here at the Rialto that we were hoping for. I'm guessing that it doesn't appeal to our old people. Tip O' The Week: One cookie from our concession stand weighs 2.5 oz and is worth 7 Weight Watcher points! That represents 23% of my total intake of food.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-15-2004 03:34 PM                     I read a funny review of Super Size Me, where they said this guy exagerates some times. I remember they said something like after the 3rd day of his checkup he was having problems already, is this true? Now I can imagine after 30 days you have serious problems but 3?  |  IP: Logged Dominique Replogle Film Handler Posts: 61 From: Highland Utah Registered: Apr 2004 posted 05-15-2004 03:52 PM                        Ian, you kick ass my brother. go go go !!!!!  |  IP: Logged Scott D. Neff Theatre Dork Posts: 919 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Oct 1999 posted 05-18-2004 12:08 AM                        I stopped by the Rialto over the weekend to abuse my semi-professional/rental-car-parking-lot-donut-spinning friendship with Ian on Sunday. I felt awful for not being able to stay and chat, but my movie was starting? What do ya do? Ian was kind enough to walk me and my guest to my auditorium (where the newly replaced bulb made for a fantastic image). Until Ian had mentioned it, I had totally had forgotten this thread, and really didn't realize he had lost weight (he's still insanely tall after-all). But he looks nice and healthy... and looking healthy is difficult to accomplish when taking weight off. Keep it up bruva.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-22-2004 01:44 PM                     Progress at the end of week 4: 272.8 lbs. I lost 5.4 lbs this week. Total loss of 26 lbs with Weight Watchers in 4-weeks. I thought I might have been overdosing on vegetables this week. I ate at Pluto's in the city and ordered three vegetable dishes and it was so good I ate everything. I don't know how to calculate it on the point scale. Then I was eating lunch at the Sonoma Taco Shop and had the McDougall* Vegan Burrito smothered. It was huge and again I ate the whole thing. Then I had the Benevolent Burrito from Amazon Burrito and again I couldn't stop and ate the whole thing. But I still lost 5-pounds this week. Tip 'o the week: Vegetarian Burritos with lots of salsa are a guilt-free indulgence. Just skip the cheese, guacamole and sour cream. * Dr McDougall is a health nut who runs a clinic in St. Helena in the Napa valley who advocates a vegan diet for people. He has convinced several Taquerias in the area to carry a vegan menu as well as their regular menu. At lunch the other day I saw lots of fat people ordering their food McDougall style. Sonoma Taco Shop is also kind enough to publish a nutrition guide for their menu. Don't worry, I have no intention of becoming a vegitarian or shudder a vegan. I like my meat, I just have to like less of it.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-23-2004 03:50 PM                     I have finally gotten below 230 (now I'm at 226) after putting some time in the gym. My new goal is 200 before my euro trip in september.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-23-2004 06:50 PM                     Mike, way to go! I'm betting that those last few pounds are the hardest to loose. So last night I went to Teatro Zinzanni. It's a show that plays in a 90-year-old tent down on the Embarcadero in San Francisco. It is a combination of Dinner, Cabaret, and Cirque Du Soleil. I went in to dinner with a plan, I would eat half of everything. Yea, that didn't work. I ate everything placed in front of me. From the Smoked Salmon Mousse with Toast Points, Olives and Almonds, To the Roast Tomato Soup with Basil Crostinini, to the Bay Shrimp Salad, to the Medallions of Lamb with Asparagus, Rice and some little Leek Custard amusement, to the Lemon Brulee Tart with strawberries, 2 Glasses of wine and 2 Coffees, I ate it all! Later that night I sat down and tried to figure out what it cost me in Weight Watcher points. I figured that it was a solid 70! I am allowed 30 points a day and 35 Flex Points a week. I usually don't eat the Flex Points so I had 30 left. So last night I went 55 points over my daily total and in using the 30 was 25 points over. My stomach was stuffed and tight. It took 12-hours, 8-hours of sleep, a 2-mile jog and a bit of yoga to begin to feel normal again. Oh well, I'm back on track today. So I'll stick to it till my birthday dinner next week when I think I will tie one on again.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-23-2004 07:53 PM                     The last few are impossible (well not really but you know...)! I was stuck at or around 235 for like 6 weeks then finally got down to what I am now. Don't worry about that meal you had. You should actually allow yourself a cheat meal once a week or so, and if you go overboard, just put in a little more exercise to burn off the excess calories. Heck, Thursday morning and afternoon I did well, but come Thursday evening, I had a bananna around 5pm, then had my dinner which consisted of a large chili from Wendys, 6 piece nugget (wendy's) AND one of those slightly larger than personal sized frozen pizzas by Totino's. Yet, I still lost weight over the weekend. Thankfully I dont have many meals like that very often.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-25-2004 05:25 PM                     Well, in spite of that huge Saturday meal, I managed to lose 2.4 lbs in 3-days. I had to go to Weight Watchers early this week as I am going to Maine and Washington DC tomorrow. Tomorrow is my 42nd birthday. Because of the trip, I won't be posting for a while. Tip o' the next 2-weeks: Applebee's has a new Weight Watchers menu.  |  IP: Logged
