lose a stone with the Codmother

[coddycodcod]

well with me being bossy...

ok sof ar we have KR (reluctantly) and sonnet

I only weigh once a week too as I find the daily changes really odd and not a very accurate reflection on overall weight loss - not for me anyway. Most dieting regimes etc. do recommend just the once a week wiegh in - same time, same place, same scales, same clothes (or naked).

However just had my weekly weigh in and stayed the same this week - hardly suprising aswe had a big weekend of eating and drinking and socialising. I can diet no problem during the week, but weekends are my killer. Out at a dinner party again this Saturday too!

Janz - thats fantastic - 3lbs in 3 days!!
great motivation weighing every day - i wonder why "they" ie every diet you ever read only suggests weighing yourself once a week???
Good luck for today - stay focused and help me avoid those wonderful smells coming form our office canteen situated 200 m away!!

Hulababy - will email you for sheets if I may then!.
It's odd this daily fluctuation in weight. I know that pre DD2 I use to vary between 7st 12 and 8st 4 - am also convinced it was to do with "time of the month" - not just before duw on but a least a week to 10 days before I was always nearer to 8st 4.
Funnily enough when I am at home I don;t have aproblem with dieting it is at work it is a problem - slightly board and being surrounded by food!.
Roll on tomorrow whan i am at home - I don't have time to think about food....

I think they recommend the once a week as weight does fluctuate so much daily (and even throughout the day). My weight can change by 2 or 3 pounds daily and can simply be down to if I have drank more water, just been for a wee, had a shower (honest - it does make a difference), etc.

Sonnet - it;s not 3lb in 3 days - it's 1lb in 3 days or 2lb in one day, depending on how you look at it. At the beiginning of the week, I was 11st 1lb - and yesterday I was 11st 2lb - despite "being good". It just goes to show the fluctuations that Hulababy is talking about.

But anyway, it IS porgress! It would be nice if I could get consistently under 11st by the weigh in next week! Good for the motivation

Woops - never was very good at Maths - but still great for motivation....

Starvvvving...
just raided canteen at work - grapefruit segments and dried apricots.
Graoefruit Ok but not sure about dried apricots!!!

Planning Family meals for weekend and next week at the moment and need some advice on homemade pizza.
What do you think re diet:
Dough made in bread machine - flour, salt, olive oil, yeast.
Topping: fresh toms, small amount of cheese, fresh herbs, assorted veg.
I woild only have a small Slice and a huge salad?
Could use low fat cheese??

Starving too. Just had another 2 of my cherries - ot add to the 2 that I had an hour ago. Only 8 left!

Should really be concentrating on reading through a draft contract for a deal I've got to close in the nextweek, before I can send it to the customer for his comments. That should keep my mind off food!

whre's coddy when you need her advice.
Keep "picking" at the cherries janz!!

have banana in bag, now 12.03 so i assume can tuck in!

i did not finish DS1's fishfingers and potato waffle lunch.
Round of applause please

amazing restraint, sw

clap clap clap clap...

I thank you

dilemma

DP packed me a packed lunch today - i havent looked yet what is in it but its very likely it isnt very diet friendly

do i

a) eat it because it was nice of him to do or
b) waste it and buy something healthy

look and tell

I have looked :

Ham and coleslaw sandwich on ww bread
1xdrifter bar
1xalpen bar
1xsatsuma
1xapple
1xpetit filous yoghurt of DS
1xdiet coke

Ive given away the alpen and drifter bar and eaten the rest

Well done beccarollover

Well done BR and SW...
I've had half a baked potato ( it was 'uge!)and salad and have half a grapefruit and a 35g bag of snack a jacks left to consume.

Went "dress shopping" for my "DO" in 5 weeks time with a couple of girls from work. We were all looking for dresses. IT HAS STRENGTHENED MY RESOLVE - bottom looked huge..........will not be seen at the aforementioned "do" with a BIG BOTTY!!!. I kept that thought in my head just now while queueing up to pay for lunch surrounded by bars and bars of CHOCOLATE!!!

What a great DH you've got BR...
