Overweight IT Contractors' weight loss diary: month 1

[Lucifer Box]

) I've just actually realised how much 0.3kg is - thats 7lbs!!! Which is a very healthy weight to loose in a month!

Well done ATW - you're right, we're all thick )

Congratulations mate - so how are you doing it then?

I'm a frayed knot. 0.3kg is 0.66lbs in old money, or not quite 11 ounces, the size of a decent steak, so it really was quite as pathetic as first thought.

[SallyAnne]

You get used to it.

The centre has a few, but nothing on the scale of Newcastle. I should have been there this week but the job had the plug pulled.....

It wasn't too bad actually - I was just joking. The pubs next to the river were quite nice, and I seem to remember a particularly drunken night in Flares

And Birmingham does have a very cool Italian fast food place in the train station which saved my life last year when I was travelling through it every monday and friday )

Thats a shame about your job - where was it for? Are you allowed to say?

Maths was never my strong point like!

Oh dear - you could have probably lost more weight doing a poo!

It was in Durham, but I was going to stay in Newcastle.

Flares is dodgy in any town.

Prune juice - A Warrior's Drink... as my Klingon friend once said...

And it makes you tulip through the eye of a needle...

I've never really undersyood that expression. Does it mean your poos are very very thin? Or that your bottom refuses to open?

It wasn't for the council was it? They're a right bunch of knackers - couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery!

CChico will explain it better. It's a paraphrase about camels and getting into heaven.

[Churchill]

Doh! I'm aware of that. But it does lead to sustained weight loss due to the calories being burnt up. I doubt there's another sport as efficient at that.

Rowing.

Next.

No, it's for the . Neither can they.

It is well known that AtW is full of tulip so he might be able to shed quite a few pounds by launching a few depth charges (being careful not to crack the porcelain, of course).
