OK, I'm showing my age here, but from "Married With Children," a la Al Bundy: "Let's rock."

I've mentioned before in this forum about a man I knew 40+ years ago who went from (weight unknown, absolutely over 500) to 180 with nothing but the Atkins diet and swimming an hour a day. I looked him up on FB and judging from pictures he's posted, he appears to have kept most of the weight off.

We don't travel much by car, but even traveling by plane, finding decent food in airports can be a challenge for vegetarians. 😞 I mean, I like salad, but .....

Reminds me of an old line from Richard Pryor, after he accidentally set himself on fire freebasing cocaine: "Cocaine is God's way of saying 'You have too much money.'"

Well.... you could try a different gym, perhaps one that is bigger and has more class offerings. I think you'd like either Les Mills Body Pump or Mossa Power. Both are built around weights. Power incorporates some cardio, which could replace your walking. I don't know where you are in DC but you can use the Mossa and Les Mills websites to find gyms near you that offer their classes.

I don't know about now, but insurance companies didn't used to cover smoking cessation drugs (Chantix), despite the fact that quitting smoking improves health. I know that 20 years ago when I wanted to quit, Chantix wasn't covered and I had to bear the entire cost myself. It was pretty hefty, like $125.... So sometimes there's no logic to insurance companies' decisions.

I just read on the news feed that he pled guilty while in an ambulance in the loading dock of the courthouse. I guess sentencing will be soon. My question is, where the hell did they find an ambulance large enough? Did they have to remove a lot of the lifesaving equipment in order to accommodate his bulk? One thing for sure.... he'll likely lose weight in prison. I don't think they'll allow his enabler to bring him food 48 times a day.

In addition to the frappe and cookie and front seat ice cream, apparently.

I can't even imagine. Oh wait.... M600PL cast members..... butt wings that could support a small Cessna.

Whitney got a guest appearance?

Oh dear. I'm doomed. For a post-workout snack I had 10 frozen grapes, and all yinz know that grapes are evil. I'm sure that the scale will show a massive weight gain tomorrow morning, probably 20 or 30 pounds. Sigh. Well, at least I didn't have any crackers or sugar-free jam. I'd be bursting out of my clothing if I had done that. 😄

Whaaaaat? No Starbucks super-duper sized frappe with heavy cream and whipped cream? But seriously.... my go to snack is peanut butter spoon.

I can't remember the last time I had cake. I had my twice yearly slice of pumpkin pie (Tgiving and Christmas) and wouldn't have those except that I don't want to be rude to my hostess. I'm more of a froyo girl.... once a quarter my hubs and I go out to eat (nothing fancy, Subway or Qdoba) and we follow up with a visit to the froyo shop. Cheese, on the other hand........... I'm addicted.

Absolutely beautiful. I wish all the best for Tal and Jon.

American cheese slice? LOL...

Hi yall. My eating habit tonight was Gardein crispy orange "chik'n," farro, salad, and a gigantic glass of water. Followed by a handful of Cheez-its®

Why is Buddy wearing girl shorts?

When they have to remove TREES to get you out of your house.... you might be a lardass. (Apologies to Jeff Foxworthy)

Well, it's possible that she's no longer pre-diabetic because she's full-on diabetic......

I have no clue what forum that is.

How was it?

If Whitney lost 250# she could be physically very attractive. However, the physical attractiveness would be more than negated by her obnoxious personality.

Sound like anyone we know? Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance Have a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it Exaggerate achievements and talents Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate Believe they are superior and can only associate with equally special people Monopolize conversations and belittle or look down on people they perceive as inferior Expect special favors and unquestioning compliance with their expectations Take advantage of others to get what they want Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others Be envious of others and believe others envy them Behave in an arrogant or haughty manner, coming across as conceited, boastful and pretentious Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office According to the Mayo clinic, these are symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder. I'm not a psychiatrist, and they don't let me play one on TV, but if the foo shits, wear it.

OMG. Those leggings are so poorly made that they make Babs look obese.

Girlie, you give yourself away as a Virginian. HamPTON not Hampden. Unless you're talking about the college. 😄
