- Easy Go, Easy Come

Hi, All:
Anyone else find it too easy to lose and gain wieght?
I was 215 Saturday...now I'm almost 230, due to yummies consumed --
poor yummies! They were so peaceful in their lovely holiday
packages....
I feel like that kid from the manga "One Pound Gospel," a boxer who
just can't stop eating. Like him, though, I don't look fat at all, but
I definitely notice it in my movements, whether it's biking up a hill
or jetting up five stories.
What's the most weight you've ever lost in a single day? I know it can
fluctuate -- and it's mostly water sweated out -- but I'm
curious...this is rather fascinating.
Want to get back down to my prime of ~185-195 lbs.
Sigh!
Wish we had skiing near here (NYC)...not much else to do outdoors in
winter time that's as fun as x-country! Was skiing only in a tee shirt
for like two hours...that's how much of a workout it can be -- I had
steam coming off me!

@g43g2000cwa.googlegroups.com:
'Mostly water' would be an understatement. Not much value in this figure at
all. Talk to a boxer trying to make weight before a fight.
In my experience Daily weight fluctuation is close to meaningless when
trying to gauge weight loss (never mind fat loss).

Short term weight changes are often misleading. Charting weight over time
shows the trend and thus gain or loss of fat. This needs to be a chart in
the range of 4 weeks or more.

Well they have had a bigger weight fluctuation in a few days than I
have had in 18 years. Pretty sad

Yes, but meaningless if it isn't a trend. (so don't be sad about that- its
christmas 
)

I'm going to die not soon enough.I tried butt sex from my
neighbours, and became the victim of AIDS. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in full blown (pun intended) AIDS. I now need a boner
transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a boner
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a boner donor:

No, I barely look an inch past 190 (my prime)!
Everything fits as before...actually, they even seem to feel a just a
tad bit looser (suits seem roomier in the shoulders, shirts roomier at
the collar...).
I guess I'm gonna just "hold" things at 225-230 for now and enjoy the
end of the year first!
Well, put it this way -- if it's off, it's consistently off. =)
Seriously, I'm not putting you on, though this sounds so ridiculous I
can't stop chuckling. That's why I'm posting: I hope someone out there
loses 10 lbs. a day and gains 15 lbs. in three days! It's always been
like that with me...hope it's not cancer or something!

This is the thing -- is it "inherently" easier to lose weight than gain
it, or vice-versa, or really just equal both ways?
I seem to lose weight easily, but gain it just as easily, so that's
what I'm wondering...I hope to go parachuting next year, and most
outfits have a 225-lb. ceiling, so I'd like to be "safely" below
that...plus, it'd be nice to see if I can get back down to my Glory
Days form of 190!
Though I'm not looking forward to replacing a $5K wardrobe....
Yes, happy holidays, everyone -- best time of year to eat!!!!!!

Weight is too general a term to answer your question. It's easy to lose
fat and it's easy to put fat back on. It also easy to lose muscle but
it's very difficult to put muscle back on.

In a single day? It involved food poisoning, no doubt. If you can get it
after a major binge event, that even increases the score. You spend one day
porking yourself up to an unnaturally inflated weight, then the next 3
crapping and puking it all away.
Likely best to stick to the skiing.

I hope you don't mind me saying this, but I lost four-five pounds this

Yeah, something really bizzare here.
Sigh...this is one New Year's Resolution I will keep: stop fooling
around with the pastries!
Indeed. Just not as easy as going into the fridge...same thrills,
really, same excitement and intoxication.

Didn't Jack Palance say something like that, after the host introduced him
at the Oscars a few years ago...
"Billy Crystal. I crap bigger than him."
