The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for January 20, 2025

Always a catch.

I do do that, but completely naked, and keep an Excel record and graph. I have since June 2013… It is an incentive…

Actually he doesn’t look that over-weight

You’re certain to “lose” a pound or two if you remove the slippers, pajamas, and take a dump before weighing yourself in the morning, Brutus.

Better to weigh yourself once a week, to see your progress. Weighing every day can work against you, as you won’t loose weight every day.

that will help, moderation

I weigh every day since 12/31 to see what is working and motivate myself into making better choices. started 254 and yesterday was 248. My goal is a pound a week. After 3 knee replacements and 2 spine surgeries in 5 years, they have me pretty well fixed up and I’m allowed to try and work as best I can. Moving and not eating because I’m bored is the biggest help. Looking forward to seeing my feet without bending over :) Chip, how about giving Brutus a little eraser help?

I still have an old mechanical scale. Those things are a lot taller than the modern electronic ones… It has to count as exercise! :D

…and don’t forget to exercise!

Weigh yourself in Bathroom. Easy Peasy. Food follows me. It’s not fair. My stomach is a traitor. Holds me hostage. Feed me…

now ya tell him… :J

Gladys sure fills out that bathrobe. She shouldn’t be pointing her fat fingers at anyone.

Maybe it would help with weight loss if Brutus put the scale a couple miles down the road.

Dieting ? What kind of quack doctor is Brutus going to ? I just avoid the scale it’s too impersonal

Hate to say it Gladiola but you don’t look any less girthy than your hubby. How about team dieting? Studies show it to be effective for weight loss. As is exercising together!

I went back on weight watchers, and it still works

It can be depressing at first but it can also be an incentive to achieve that goal with each pound you lose getting you closer. And while there will be fall backs, keep plugging forward. I have loss almost 100 pounds from my maximum weight years back and have kept most all of it off of my 6-3 frame. My goal was to get to my Army weight which l have an d still maintain. So each day you have to weigh yourself even if you know you won’t like the results. You will in the long run my friend…..

It amazes me that they even have a weight issue, Gladys certainly does her part to incentives losing weight with her cooking.

He looks pretty good, most men with ‘Dad bods’ have a bigger gut. As a friend of mine says who has a dad bod – it’s OK round is a shape!

You mean there’s more to it than this? He lied.

Bru, you better lay off the “3 For Me” deals at Chili’s, bud.
