My BMI show up on ever office HMO visit, showing me at least 10 pounds overweight. Last time on report the doctor called me a well-proportioned 84-year-old. Up my dose of ‘water’ pills and I can lose 10 pounds in a week. I cannot believe it when someone says they never varied more than 5 pounds from what they weighed at HS graduation (except when they were pregnant for the females).
I have a secret for Elly to easily lose 10 bs in a week because I’ve done it before. I suppose it would be a good idea to let Elly know it involves catching the flu, not being able to eat because I couldn’t keep anything down and feeling as if the end of the world was nigh as I was flat on my back for a week. I haven’t missed a flu shot since.
Some ten years ago my doctor told me I was borderline diabetic and that I should lose some weight. Not long after I was asked to “foster” a three year old border collie that needed a new home.
The first month I had her I lost eight pounds! All that border collie energy demanded eight walks per day. I suppose I was snacking less and eating healthier. My doctor was amazed, and my numbers were much better. I have not been worried about diabetes since.
I was only supposed to “foster” the dog for a month or so. Ha! Ten years later she is showing her age, but we are inseparable.
We had a pretty large aunt who wanted to go on a cruise sooo badly, and her husband kept telling her he’d take her when she could wear a swimsuit. I said, “Do you have a swimsuit that fits?” She said yes. “Would you wear it to the pool or beach or whatever?” She said sure! I said, “Put it on and tell him to book the cruise!” She did and they both loved the cruise!

The easiest way to lose some pounds is go to the United Kingdom and spend some money.

The most fat you can lose in one week is about 2 1/2 pounds.

Elly, take a couple of shots of castor oil and those ten pounds will come sliding right out.

My excuse is that if you’re TOO skinny your wrinkles show up more.

This works on the same principle as requesting a raise.
Ask for 10% when you only want 5%.
Then end up with 1% and so it goes on…

Reminds me of the ad (I think it was in Mad Magazine) that touted “Lose 10 pounds of ugly fat in less than a day.” It featured a guillotine.
