lose a stone with the Codmother

[coddycodcod]

well with me being bossy...

ok sof ar we have KR (reluctantly) and sonnet

Sonnet, I was really surprised how quickly I noticed a difference. It is definately better than any expensive creams you can buy (I'd tried loads). It's quite hard going at first trying to drink so much but after a while you find you actually want it. I think it'll be easier now as the weathers warmer. Hope it works for you too

how naughty are snack-a-jacks caramel flavour. Pack is 35g and I eat half a pack during the afternoon as a sugar hit!
A 35g pack has 140kcal and 0.3g of fat!

I'd prefer half as much butter than a wodge of low-fat spread and I think I feel the same about ww wine!

I don't know whether i have one egg or two at breakfast but have bought some pears in fruit juice to have with oats is OK ie better than my scarambled egg/s?

I have just started diet and i am 12st 13 and 5ft 4

Hulababy, my big downfall is wine. I reallly don't think I could give it up. I think the WW one was about 80 cals a glass but not sure what size of glass that was for (my favourite wine glass takes 1/2 a bottle)

Magnum,
On my 3rd pint today.
When I'm at work (Tue, wed, thur) I can easily drink 6 pints a day but when I'm at home I don't drink any!!! so i've never seen a result.
My skin is very dry and has a greyish tinge - sounds great dosn't t!!, oh and snowy white - loely!!

if o.3g fat is saturated, then 35g pack = 2 points

sonnet, I hope that is water and not wine

I found water not only reduced my wrinkles but gives your skin a glow. Mine looked dry and dull. I really do feel when I look in the mirror now that I look younger and my make up seems to go on better. The only down side is running to the loo every half an hour. Okay when you're at home but a pain when out. Good excerise though

Magnum
re. wine its only a week and Ithnk if we are all finding it so hard ot give it up for a week we ( and I know the feeling) need to examine " our relationship with wine " a little!

Hulababy and Magnum - My downfall is also wine. My youngest child is 3 and I weigh more now than I did 3 weeks after she was born. I have a wadrobe of summer clothes taht I can't get into that I wore the summer after her birth AND it is all down to WINE. The summer after her birth DH and I discovered France - say no more!
i weighed myself on Easter Monday and I was flabbergasted...that was the kick I needed and for the following 2 weeks I was very good and lost 6lbs and suprise suprise I didn't miss the wine - I don't know why as when I've tried to cut it out before it hasn't worked.
I have since been ill and put back on 4 lbs of that 6!!
if you give up wine and do nothing else you will loose 1lb a week - so if you then add a bit of exercise into the equation and sensible eating like Coddys plan you will be on at least 3lbs a week!! - you can do it girl!! - WE ALL CAN!!

cod: help me stop eating tescos salt and vinegar rice cakes!!! they are 1/2 point each and i'm now on my fourth...this could get nasty!

come on guys
no wine for a week and No WHINE either

Also, if you don't drink in the evening you don't get the munchies....
The key is to make yourself busy at the weak "lets have a glassof wine" moment.
I have started running again - not very far - but tend to go at about 6.30 to 7pm whcih happens to be my weak moment. I feel so good when I come back that I don't want wine!!

sopahble

go and put htem away - really high up

Gingerbear - course its water

have put them high up but as i was reaching i chance on the dried apricots...and ate three

gingerbear - so half a pack is one point! - Ok me thinks!!, now where did I hide them.....

sophable - oyu need to go outside - is the baby awake?
g o for a walk with nO money o t buy food

I will really try and kick the wine. I stay in most nights and get so bored. I suppose it can develop into a problem but I do just stick to 2 glasses. (don't see earlier post about size of wine glass I have tried dieting and can't lose any weight at all. Could this be because of the wine?

ds is asleep ...have big bottle of water and am swigging it, but kitchen is right next to me...

I'm strong....NO WINE I promise Coddy (Or whine!)

go int he garden
Now

off to school etc now

seeya

Def because of the wine Magnum - I am there too. " large wine glasses is over half a bottle a night - a whole bottle if you use those glasses mentioned earlier
my weight crept on over 2 and a half years at a rate of less than 1lb a month so I didn't notice it Until one day!!

sophable, get in the garden and pull up some weeds, mow the lawn or plant out those bedding plants - you can't eat with mucky hands.
