What on earth is Operation Skinny Cow?

Operation Skinny Cow was born after a few of us in Blogland decided it might be nice to lose some weight and/or get a bit fitter. We decided it would be even nicer if we encouraged each other along the way.

You can read about how it started in this post.

Holy Cow!

Some photographic funnies for your comment.

Would one of these win the vote for maybe being added to the explanation under our header, or a changeable photo in our side-bar? Are there other caption options? Should I keep looking for a better photo? Comment and I'll see what we can do!

A: Or should the caption be "Look at me, look at me!":-




B: For those weeks where motivation has simply not been available:-



C: When worried about whether our clothes look good today:-



D: When someone else has just posted really good results:-



E: On those days we don't feel very bovine and definitely don't want it recorded for posterity:-


F: And, just because it's me:-


Here's to our increasing Bovinity, Cowgirls!

I like 'does my butt look big in this'... but boy, I just want to get those cows some dinner!

Yeah, they could use some feeding up, but don't worry too much - they are actually all adolescent heifers (or steers, depending). They always look a bit scraggly until they fill out. You know, like we were all skinny in high school.

I forsee a long, satisfying life for all these girls. At least - until they end up in a hamburger.

Actually, I think these are breeding stock - it's not a full-on grazing property they raise the young ones here and then transport them to their other holdings. (I firmly believe that they are breeding stock, and will continue to believe it even when they disappear from the paddock to go to a much better paddock where there's plenty of green grass and lots of friends to talk to)

Yeah, I don't know why I'm concerned about these cows when I don't mind eating meat, but I guess I'd like them to have a happy and comfortable life until they... uhh... go to a much better paddock where there is plenty of green grass and lots of friends to talk with...
