BUT AT WHAT COST, KEVIN?

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 27 November 2006 22:30 (seventeen years ago) link

PUH LEEZE, I'm sure I quality as obese, which just goes to show how insanely stupid those charts are.

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 27 November 2006 22:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Err, *qualify. I always quality.

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 27 November 2006 22:32 (seventeen years ago) link

monitarily? prolly cheaper than WW licensed stuff.

xpost to jenny.

Shore nuff! I'm like .2 away from obesity, and while I might be carrying a little extra junk these days it's hardly evidence of our national epidemic. So whatev.

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 27 November 2006 22:37 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm not even putting my numbers in that thing until I recover from Thanksgiving and finals week.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 27 November 2006 22:38 (seventeen years ago) link

where's the calculator?

I'm overweight, no surprise there.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 November 2006 22:42 (seventeen years ago) link

not surprisingly, i am off the charts underweight.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Monday, 27 November 2006 22:42 (seventeen years ago) link

lator gators, i'm off to pick up keys in berwyn.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Monday, 27 November 2006 22:43 (seventeen years ago) link

My BMI is currently 21.7. Just to compare, it was 33.9 when I was at my heaviest.

WW is great. I've lost 90 pounds on it in the last 4 years.

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Monday, 27 November 2006 22:44 (seventeen years ago) link

okay, i just ordered some books on amazon about vegan/vegetarian diets. much akin to the "core program" but this will work out better for me. i really want to be able to do 'something' i can stick with for the rest of my life. that, and when i was vegan for 9 months i felt fantastic & was skinnier & slept the best in all my life.

jeff - you are really amazing! seriously! that is a major accomplishment.

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Monday, 27 November 2006 22:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, that's awesome. I think I'm Captain Restraint if I lose ten pounds.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 27 November 2006 22:51 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd have to lose about 20 to be in the normal range.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 27 November 2006 22:52 (seventeen years ago) link

if i am indeed 5'6" instead of 5'5" i am totally fine. otherwise, i need to lose just one bitty pound. but i don't like being 'on the edge' . . .

― sweet tater (sweet tater), Monday, 27 November 2006 22:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd have to lose almost 40 lbs and get down to a weight that I haven't been since I was unemployed and almost-homeless and starving. That's just not helpful.

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 27 November 2006 23:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Julia's gmail status got me singing the Talking Heads all darn day. Good thing I like that song...

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 27 November 2006 23:11 (seventeen years ago) link

otherwise we would all be TASTING YOUR NAKED WRATH

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Monday, 27 November 2006 23:14 (seventeen years ago) link

me too. but i like it. i've been grumpy and needed it.

xp oh no!

i think i'm normal weight, which is good for me--i've been on both edges in the past, more recently the underweight one.

― JuliaA (JuliaA), Monday, 27 November 2006 23:15 (seventeen years ago) link

That probably sounded more threatening that I intended. When I first saw your status, I was like, "I know what that is..." Then I got to spend a few minutes figuring it out and then when I remembered, I was actually DELIGHTED because I love that whole album and haven't thought about it in ages. So, I guess what I mean to say Julia, is thank you very much.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 27 November 2006 23:19 (seventeen years ago) link

According to that calculator business I'm just this side of overweight, and I lost 20 lbs in the last few months. Does the calculator take in to account the fact that one might be TOTALLY JACKED?

― Jordannn, Monday, 27 November 2006 23:26 (seventeen years ago) link

(not that I am, I'm just sayin)

― Jordannn, Monday, 27 November 2006 23:26 (seventeen years ago) link

let's line up by BMI.

or not.

― JuliaA (JuliaA), Monday, 27 November 2006 23:28 (seventeen years ago) link

and you're welcome, jenny.

― JuliaA (JuliaA), Monday, 27 November 2006 23:29 (seventeen years ago) link

One of the biggest criticisms of BMI measurement is that it does not, indeed, take into account the fact that someone may be totally jacked. It also isn't necessarily a measure of health - just of the relationship between your weight and height.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Monday, 27 November 2006 23:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, well then! BMI can kiss my un-obese ass, there's muscle in them thar hills.

― Laurel (Laurel), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 00:45 (seventeen years ago) link

While at work I argued with John in my mind.

I won't contest John's arguments--no lo contendre, or something. But I will say that it's nonsense to say that the accent of a fair-sized area is a mispronunciation. "Whore" and "horrible" are NOT pronounced the same if you are from certain parts of the East Coast.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 05:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Best email I've received in a while, but unfortunately I am not (yet) at liberty to reveal the identity of the sender....

I went to the gyno to get an IUD today and they couldn't even get the tool to measure my uterus through my cervix cause it's too goddamn tough....what the fuck is that shit? They had to call in backup and then when the second PA couldn't do it either they were like..."Ummm, have you thought about birth control pills?"...goddamn my cervix, it's like a fucking maximum security prison up in that bitch.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 05:53 (seventeen years ago) link

i am probably still a little underweight even though i have put on about 30 pounds since my smallest weight. however, i do feel that i should exercise or eat less because i am so used to being too skinny.

― t0dd swiss (immobilisme), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 06:09 (seventeen years ago) link

"Whore" and "horrible" are NOT pronounced the same if you are from certain parts of the East Coast.

I agree with this. This isn't what you said to me the other night, though.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 06:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Unless I was misunderstanding you, you claimed that WITHOUT an East Coast accent, "whore" and "horrible" STILL are pronounced differently.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 06:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Note: The IUD email was not from me.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 13:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Or me! Not it!

I can't calculate my BMI because I haven't weighed myself in a very long time. Maybe I will tonight at the gym. I tend to avoid doing that to try instead to focus on FEELING healthy, but I guess it would be good to know where I stand, to the extent BMI could tell me.

Dan, don't you work out all the time? Pure muscle, baby.

― Calico (calico), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 14:23 (seventeen years ago) link

email wasn't mine either, my cervix is like the size of a garage door.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 14:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Unless I was misunderstanding you, you claimed that WITHOUT an East Coast accent, "whore" and "horrible" STILL are pronounced differently.

No, ding-dong, I was not the one who brought it up. We were sitting at Ricochet's having a normal conversation when suddenly, out of nowhere, you said "PEOPLE FROM THE EAST COAST PRONOUNCE "HORRIBLE" WRONG--IT IS NOT PRONOUNCED HAHRRIBLE OMIGOD OMIGOD.

In a way it was a blessing that you did this because it was then that Krista did something that will make being your friend much easier: she started going "EEEEEEEEEEEEE" at you, which seemed to either sooth you or otherwise make you want to stop ranting.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 14:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I thought it was "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA."

― Calico (calico), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 14:40 (seventeen years ago) link

We really shouldn't try to guess the pronunciation without consulting John first.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 14:42 (seventeen years ago) link

http://ctabustracker.com

How about that.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 14:42 (seventeen years ago) link

I have no idea who brought it up, but that's not the point.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 14:44 (seventeen years ago) link

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

(or maybe AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 14:46 (seventeen years ago) link

"PEOPLE FROM THE EAST COAST PRONOUNCE "HORRIBLE" WRONG," Said John.

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 14:47 (seventeen years ago) link

said John

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 14:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Sorry Jesse, I'd love to stay and chat, but I have to go to work now.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 14:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Everyone, get over it.

― Jeff... (Jeff...), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 14:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Dan, don't you work out all the time?

Once upon a time (like a year and a half ago), yes. I had been back at the cardio for a couple of months lately but injury, poorness, and malaise put an end to it for the better part of November.

Yeah, cram a sock in it, you whores.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 14:56 (seventeen years ago) link

(How are you pronouncing whores there, Dan? hee hee)

― Calico (calico), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 14:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, cram a sock in it, you whores.

Was that directed at me and John?

― crunkleJ (crunkleJ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 14:58 (seventeen years ago) link

That bus tracker... it's a miracle! I think Heath takes the Madison bus. I wonder if he knows about this?
