| THIS IS MY 55...and I'm still alive!!!! |
To stop being drunk
I don't drink.
To stop being fat
I don't eat...
Simple, yes?
Yes!
No advice needed on this
Done it before
With success
But unless
Doctor says "OK"
You must stay away
From my fad
Many tell me, "It is BAD!"
With fourteen pound loss
In seven days--
I'M SO SAD--grin!

Mr. G...I apologize for putting this up early
ReplyDelete(6 PM Thursday) got places to go and things to do tonight. Ain't I LUCKY?!!
And...Yessss! I KNOW the first 5-6 pounds is just water-loss.
Be careful. It can be dangerous, my friend.
ReplyDeleteWell to get off my winter fat I have been walking like a maniac, and eating like one too...Oops, perhaps that is why I have only lost 1/2 lb. this week! Good luck, and good health. Peace, Jane
ReplyDeleteTo drastic for me. Unlike with booze, food is a cut down, not cut off. A fine 55 just the same.
ReplyDeleteI do so enjoy all your poems, Steve.
ReplyDeleteBut as Tess mentioned, be careful!
Have a great weekend!
Margie :)
just be careful...dont push it too far...smiles.
ReplyDelete14 pounds in 7 days... no wonder they call it fast(ing). Hope you're taking some supplements, Steve
ReplyDeleteYou have a tooth-ache don't you?
ReplyDeleteNever apologize to me brother, I respect my elders!
Loved your Loser 55 Steve-O-Rino!
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
"Done it before with success"
ReplyDeletemakes me wonder why,
if it worked so well at first,
you're giving fasting a second try.
Or maybe you intended
to tip us off to that.
Be healthy getting healthy
and good luck burning fat!
(We support you! Be safe!)
Last time I weighed myself I had lost 17 lbs. in five months, and never hungry. Just changed eating habits some.
ReplyDeleteOh my, this is fun- I may have to do a 'spin off' in the other direction! - Be well ! Happy Day!
ReplyDeleteStop when you get to the hallucinating part. ;-) Nice 55.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Will power is a wonderful thing just don't let it verge on mania. Take care and be strong. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteSteve E, is that YOU???
ReplyDeleteYay, you can't keep a good blogging violinist down!
14lbs in that short a time is kinda scary.
I've lost 7lbs in the last year and am hap-hap-happy, whooohooo. And I'm so muscly now, watch out world! :)
xoox
I'm not worried - you'll gain it all back. (LOL!)
ReplyDeleteEasy gains are easily lost.
Slow but steady wins the race.
(And loses the weight!)
Nice 55, Steve!
I am losing weight slowly. That's ok with me!
ReplyDeleteorder of the day
wow! Looks like someone has been starving himself!
ReplyDeleteThat's quick!
ReplyDeletefourteen pounds in seven days...wow!
ReplyDeleteglad you don't drink any more steve
TESS!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I drink loads of water!
JUST JANE!
You do it the right way. Half pound each week is 25 pounds per year. Good enough!
MONKEY MAN!
All for the sake of a "55"...yeah, TEAM! Thanks!
MARGIE!
Glad you like poems. I should have taken a 'before' photo, but I never would have published it, anyway.
BRIAN!
Awwww...I have never ever, NEVER pushed anything too far...where ya comin' from Dude? --grin!
(push. push. push. push.)
DUSTUS!
Supplements, oh yes! Like HERSHEY BARS? No! But to answer your question, yes, I am careful, I'm NOT crazy.
"La-la-la-la-de-de-de-de, do-do-do-do-dum-dum-dum!
=^..^= (I stole that, don't recall where, let me know--for giving credit!)
G-MAN!
Oh you DO get around. Only reason I posted was to see if you still are in command--GOOD! We need fine young officers! Such as yourself, to lead our bloggers into battle.
PEACE!
AVOID THE CLAP!
It worked 'so well' five years ago, then three tears ago, just a short time one year ago--Now is time for getting back to that 5-year plan (mine). Like anything, as you know...TAKING it off is easy--it is KEEPING it off, the problem. That's where I fail every time.
ANDREW!
Andrew,my friend! Also did I change eating habits...but be specific, "Inquiring minds want to KNOW!"
IZZY!
I'd just LOVE to read a 'spin-off', that 'other' perspective...PLEEEZE do it!
HEDGEWITCH!
Honey, I STARTED at the 'hallucinating' point--grin!!!!
MAGPIE!
I LOVE nice encouraging words. Thank you. PEACE!
JANNIE-GIRL!
It's MEEEE! I'm proud of your 7-pound loss. I have a 70-pound GAIN to deal with, but it took 6 weeks last time to do this, and I WILL mention progress (or not) from time to time on top of my posts. HEY, I was SURE glad to see your name pop up . I was at your blog today--pretty sure I left a comment, like, "Howdy, Bub."--grin!
ERIC BUBBA ALDER!
ReplyDeleteYep I know--it'll come back. It always does. But I'll give it one last final shot! (All my pallbearers are little guys--grin!)
But...I agree with you (DUH) as any (duh!) sane man (DUH duh) would. Hmmmmm!
GAUTAMI TRIPATHY!
YOU, my girl, are doing it the RIGHT way. That's OK with me, too...Stay with it.
MONA!
Not starving...I drink 5 packs of powdered supplement every day (MEDIFAST) (total 450 calories). Well, 'starving' maybe--grin!
MAMA-ZEN!
Yessss! I do not know slow--yet! Even on my bike, speed is fun, exhilarating!
CLAUDIA!
Yep! It's almost the same as drinking: compulsive, obsessive, a mental craving to fit in my trousers--TOMORROW, dammmmit--grin!
What a rhyme! You definitely know what an extreme fad is! I am having fun with my first 55.
ReplyDeleteSHANAE BRANHAM!
ReplyDeleteI found your '55' by tracing an address (not your blog?) through G-Man. I appreciate you commenting here, and will be looking in on your blog(s) to see which address I'd like to follow...
PEACE!
(I did comment on your '55' blog URL.)
Steve
ReplyDeleteNicely crafted 55 -- good for you, but be wise, everything in moderation last, quick fixes and duct tape don't hold up.. . enjoy your new look and have a wonderful week end, So just drinking water? you can bottle that and make millions selling it as a new diet fad.

JOANNY!
ReplyDeleteOh! Good to 'see' you here. I was in Starbucks TODAY and noticed 'water' for sale (don't recall the brand) $1.99 for 6 oz WATER! WATER! O M G !!!!!! What have we come to? And peeps were BUYING it!!
So water is now $16 gallon, while gasoline is holding steady at near $4-gallon, and we are complaining about GAS???
Thanks for the dietary tips. PEACE!
wooohooo.. although steep, that's neat!
ReplyDeleteneed some tips myself.. :)
well done- in a short span of time
Hugs xox
Hmmm...hopefully there's a better way for me to lose the 10 lbs doc wants me to lose to lower my blood pressure!!! Gotta eat, lol!!!
ReplyDeleteBe blessed...and healthy!!!

MINING DIAMONDS
Yes, Kimberly, you do it right! My way is like Russian Roulette...not good, but I'm careful--grinn!
SOMEONE IS SPECIAL!
Already on your blog I explained 'my' meanings of "SAD" and "grin!" ...HEY I did not realize you are a friend to Magda!! How nice! I mean that. ANYWAY, PEACE....
