You look much healthier in the right pic...  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-28-2004 04:18 PM                     Week 18 Today's Weight 236.0 Lost this week 4.6 Total lost 62.8 This week I am headed off to the Telluride Film Festival. I have been going since 1990. My radio handle there is "Large." I hope that they are all surprised that I have lost more than 60 lbs. This week Weight Watchers launched a new program. It's called the Turn Around plan. It offers two ways to eat. The first way is the Flex Plan that uses "points" to track your food intake. The new method is called the Core Plan. Weight Watchers enrolment has declined recently due to everybody’s obsession with the Atkins Carb thing. So their research told them that some people don't like Weight Watchers because they find the point system and writing down everything you eat to be complicated. So they have created a "core" list of food that you can safely eat off of and still lose weight. You're not supposed to over-indulge in eating but of you eat off of this list you aren't supposed to get fat. I like the old system so I am going to stick with it for a while longer, at least until I reach goal. I still want to lose 16 lbs. I bought these pants at Costco recently. When I got them home I tried them on and thought that they were just a bit too slim for my tastes. Yesterday I wanted to wear pants to work instead of shorts and all of my old pants were too large to wear so I wore these instead. They weren't too slim anymore. However I did have to carry my keys and wallet in a bag so not to ruin the silhouette of these trousers. Tip o' the week: Just because it's new, doesn't make it better.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

Also looks like Film-Tech will need a new platter-climbing demo model before ShoWest 2005... Me holding steady at 169, not quite half way. Wound up swimming 98.25 miles over the summer. Swimming regimen now on hold until some money comes in.

I am down to 185 lbs from 205 lbs. I love having to buy new clothes. They dont wear bell-bottoms anymore!!!  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

I applaud your striving will and determination. Keep it up.

New Pic, 215 pounds 100 pounds in 9 months! And, I'm the guy on the left...  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-11-2004 01:43 PM                     I’m back from the 31st Telluride Film Festival. I was put up in a private home with my roommate Tom. The home is owned by Cynthia, a Le Cordon Bleu and Ritz, trained French chef. Every time Tom and I would say, "I wonder what time the cafeteria closes", Cynthia would say something like, "but I have a brisket in the oven, please stay for dinner." Tom and I would run out and buy wine and vegetables to go with the brisket. She also did an Osso Bucco for dinner one night. Well due to Cynthia's good cooking, the morning bacon & English muffin sandwich on the way the Gondola and Bertrand's crepes, I gained 5 lbs my 10-days in Telluride. I hadn't been running and I didn't watch my diet in Telluride. I thought that I might have been getting enough exercise by hoofing it to the gondola in the morning and running up and down stairs in the theatres. I guess it points out that I will always have to watch my diet. I was hoping that I hadn't gone up that much. We'll see if I pull off 5-lbs in one week or two or three weeks. Here is a photo of the Happy Acme Projection Booth Crew opening night of the festival. Large Ian, Payal (Whom I went to India with), Ryan (Who is the projectionist for the Pavilion 15 in downtown Denver) and Peter (Who lives “off the grid” in Taos and runs a film series there) Relish this photo, I don't appear in a tie that often. Tom bought 30 Bugs Bunny ties at the dollar store in Los Angeles and we gave them to all of the staff of the Chuck Jones Cinema. Saturday afternoon it snowed 3-inches in Telluride. This had the effect of driving all the people in to the theatres and we sold out all the shows Saturday and Sunday. I ended up buying $60 fleece pants at Memorabilia because I was wearing shorts that day. Tip O’ The Week: I am powerless when faced with an attractive widow who is a good cook!  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-11-2004 10:37 PM                        Looks like Peter is on the grid now. We even have his pic with hints on his whereabouts! Ha ha! And be sure to show Ryan the pictures I took of the Pavilions 15 when I was there (called in from Mann Theatres to change a xenon bulb for manager Tim Campbell). The pics are here on this site. I did not write those captions otherwise I would have said much about projectionist negligence. Also there was another loose print on the table in a different area of the booth that same day (Sunday evening). Oh man the booth was one of the most disastrous I had ever seen, especially in a first run house. Hopefully it has improved significantly.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-09-2004 01:26 PM                     Week 24, 230 lbs! Pounds lost so far: 68 Pounds left to lose: 10 Way back in the beginning of this thread I thought I would like to lose 20 lbs. Now I have lost 3-times that amount. I'm on my second pair of jeans since I've started this. I can no longer wear the last pair I purchased. Random customers are now stopping me in the lobby and commenting. I feel pretty good today because I was very well behaved this week. But I have been up and down these past 4-weeks. Last week I learned that yes, that one big dinner will put a crimp in your weight loss plans. I really have to be more agressive in a restaurant to get my meal to be less weighty. Once it is placed in front of me, it's eaten. Tip O' The Week: This week I have been having fun with whole wheat tortillas. A small wrap turkey sandwich made with a tortilla is less than a conventional sandwich made with slices of bread. I also made tortilla pizza with slivered up vegetables. Some challenges I have to look forward too are a visit to my father and Show East where I will be fed breakfast, lunch and dinner for a week. I have to come up with a strategy to not blow it there. Mike Heenan, way to go! So how did you do it? And how will you maintain it?  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under! Posts: 3836 From: Albuquerque, NM Registered: Feb 2000 posted 10-09-2004 04:49 PM                        Had to weigh one of the cats the other day, so weighed myself too. Down to 166 now (me, not the cat) by just walking to school and smaller portions. Will start swimming again next month. Would still like to get down to 150 by new year and I think I may just make it. The porker cat is at 13.  |  IP: Logged
