Pepperidge Farm orange milano cookies here. Something about Larry calls for high-carb snacking. 

Just had two peppermint Milano's.  I'll call it dinner.  Just don't tell Dr. Now.

[TazDevil]

I'm guessing 601

A gym.... good. He needs to do something. 

Speaking of gym...  It's been almost 2 years since I've been to a gym and I have given up on going back because I think exercising in a mask is ridiculous, so I just had an elliptical delivered and installed yesterday.  Now I have basically everything I liked to use at home and I have no more excuses.  I need to build stamina back up, for me that's the impact of the pandemic since I didn't gain any weight.  But I definitely lost muscle and endurance...

Stock up for the snowstorm. I went to Trader Joe’s the other day and bought a lot of frozen dinners and had to clean out my freezer when I got home to make room for it all. 

We have some in our freezer.

[Hellga]

I think he is 550.

This chair-scale fascinates me. 

[hookedontv]

Rise up, Larry, Rise up (in that chair scale)

[MsVixen]

LOVE that weighing chair!  Never seen anything like it.

[EtheltoTillie]

Interesting chair scale. 

[Hellga]

Nope,  I was too generous.  586.  Only 16 pounds lost in 3 months is even worse than he used to do!  5 pounds  a month is a normal person's rate of loss, not a poundticipant's!

[umgoblue]

Oh drats...he was only off by 80 pounds.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Dr. Now, cut your losses (heh) and find another patient who is actually invested in the program.

I'm dieting, so I don't need a lot of food or snacks. Just some stuff to make salads and a couple of Lean Cuisines. Eggs and maybe some spinach or asparagus to change things up. Last shop most of my stuff was available so I feel fairly sanguine. 

[libgirl2]

16 lbs.... 

[Granny58]

Chair scale is brilliant!

[libgirl2]

I'm craving a burger.

But are there any such people? We sure haven’t seen much evidence of their existence this season. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

I’m getting tired. Can’t even muster anymore snark.

[hookedontv]

I don’t know if I can take another 26 minutes of this whining dude 

[libgirl2]

Yes! 40 pounds! 

[DropTheSoap]

He thought Dr Now meant 4 lbs in a month. 

(bad joke…I’m bored.)

Can’t give up what you don’t start, Larry.

I did the same. I have my elliptical and some light weights. Still trying to,work in the weights but working with heavier resistance on the elliptical 4 times a week. It is minus 17 now and too cold for walks

That’s less than 1% of his body weight a month.

14 here in beautiful Salem MA! I'm getting my Instacart order tomorrow. I have plenty of wine. I feel prepared. 

I don't think that I'll ever give up grocery deliveries. One of the good thing that came out of the pandemic.

There should be some kind of religious based Richard Simmons diet. Sweatin' to the Gospel.

There have been religion based workout to gospel music, and diet programs.

Figures, last week my delicious homemade chickpea soup disagreed with me so strenuously I missed out on most of Dolly. But I'm well and hearty for this crashing bore. 

[libgirl2]

Was that salt on the pavement?

[Kid]

Here’s another one moving  to Houston when he hasn’t lost the weight he is supposed to lose.  No, Dr. Now did not tell him to move to Houston.

[dreadfulLeigh]

Full on yawning now. I’m not sure I can hold on much longer. Also this music is coma inducing.

Don't any of you guys have space heaters?  My home office where I hang out all the time is over the garage. If I turn the heat up so that it's warmer in here, it is too hot in the rest of the house. I use a space heater - but only when I am in the room. I'm a little freaky about them, even unplugging it when I leave for the evening. Still, it makes a difference.

I ADORE Instacart. I tip my shoppers very generously and leave them great reviews. I spend a lot less. money and impulse buying is nil. LOVE it.

I love grocery shopping.  I find it inspiring.  But I did grow up with empty shelves (not the 'pandemic short-term some shelves empty', the first 9 years of my life of 'the only thing you can freely buy is bread and you are issued coupons allowing you to get, say, 1 kg of butter and 0.5 kg of cheese per month per person, but you have to hunt it down first and that's no guarantee'.   If not for the farm where we grew most of our own vegetables and my Grandma keeping pigs and rabbits and goats for milk, we would hardly ever have meat or milk. So yeah...  

[Granny58]

I admit... I'm always impressed when a super morbidly obese person goes to a gym.  I expect it's very embarrassing.

[ams1001]

The nature sounds in that Calm ad were so loud it made me anxious.

Yes, I have one in the living room for the early morning and a small one close to my bathroom when I take a shower.

I'm strictly a "more blankets" girl. My thermostat stays at 66 and we just wrap up warmly. I found some fleece lined leggings and my god those things are gold. I wish I had half a dozen pair.

I am loving instacart also. My only complaint is produce. They don’t choose the quality of fruits and vegetables that I would. And I too tip generously.

I love my space heater.  Probably why I fall asleep on the couch so much when it's on.

There's an ad for a shirt that says "Yes, I'm still freezing."

Hmmm...  I have never thought of making a chickpea soup.  That could be a nice addition to my split pea and lentil pulse soup rotation...  I will google some recipes.
