when i loose weight it seems like it’s just muscle disappearing. my belly seems the same. i know i should be working out, but how does one have the time or energy for that?
@spacemart Do something, anything. Do something you enjoy. Maybe it’s just a walk around your yard or common area. Perhaps try tai chi on the couch to start. Call on a friend who might be wishing they had someone to do something with.
@ircon96 they have a scale. They’ll read the results and tell them to me. Should have shut my damn mouth. Shortly after posting this i had to go to the doctor and then the ER. Getting discharged today at least. At least I know my weight now.
Typically use the scale to see how much fluid deficit I generated while working out in the yard.
FWIW we have an old fashioned physician scale in our walk-in closet.
@chienfou@sillyheathen I inherited my Detecto version from my late husband, who bought it long before i even met him, which was over 30 years ago. So, for me it was free, but i think he paid back then almost what they cost now. Yikes!
@chienfou@kittykat9180 Fluffy FTW! I’m curvy and strong. It’s why I lift the heavy things. I gave up on skinny a very long time ago. The Englishman has made it clear that if I ever get skinny, he will not be a happy bunny.
I don’t. That’s information only needed for medical settings.
…assume I’ve gained weight. Just playing the odds, here…

@spacemart everyone has one hour a day they can work out. Once you start, you’ll have more energy.
I check the trunk.
@yakkoTDI
Do you use a mirror or does your head swivel that far?
@chienfou I have a security camera in there.
@yakkoTDI
Oops wrong “trunk”
see how far I have to bend over before I can see my toes.
@hchavers … Or tip over?
I wait for my next doctor’s appointment. They’ll do the hard work.
@mikey The “heavy lifting,” so to speak?

@ircon96 @mikey Whoa, not good but glad you’re getting out.
When your doctor asks you to open your mouth and say “Oink”.
My spouse tells me. I don’t even have to ask.

@chienfou of course you do! Those are ace. Inquiring minds want to know if it’s French!
@sillyheathen
Nope. Pounds & ounces. Saw it out front of a thrift store locally a zillion years ago and bought it for $20. Best deal ever.

I can tell if I’m fluffier when I’m washing in the shower.
Also, try on that one dress.
@kittykat9180 that exactly. I let my clothes guide me.

FWIW I prefer my partner a bit on the fluffy side. Too skinny looks sickly.

@chienfou @sillyheathen fluffy does work well when you’re a runner.
All of the above lol
