Hi Stephen,

I suppose the alternative could be that you set up your own ironing service with the proviso that should any of the under garments go missing you won't accept any liability

I thought this was about losing weight; not cross dressing.

I'm relieved to see Frank has put on a pound or two, I was beginning to think he was superhuman.

Keith I have a few months yet so plenty of time (Hmm! I probably need it)

Definitely not superhuman Emjay! I have slipped badly, and have to pay for it today, I am blaming the weather and my S.A.D. I shall be choosing very carefully in the restaurant tomorrow
Almost 40 years ago when I was trying to lose some weight, a Dutch customer said to me; "Dont lose de love handles! The ladies like de love handles!" We were sitting in a Chinese restauarant with a tempting menu in Haifa, and he was piling his plate up. I love oriental food, and that chicken curry yesterday was very moreish. QED over weight today.

Frank, Why feel guilty because you have enjoyed something a little bit naughty.
It is important to make every minute of every day special. You can go back to ' being good' as soon as you can, all you are doing is extending your target date.

I have had a toasted teacake with lashings of butter, definitely not good for me but it was so nice I have just had another one.

Enjoy your 1 nighter and everything that is on offer.

Ah Andrea; further sabotage today. I am supoosed to be at Rotary Club dinner tonight, so I was just having a small sandwich for lunch. However Sue had made herself a home made pizza with ham, tomato and cheese. Sorry to say that when she invited me to try a piece, it was very delicious and I had another larger piece and the sandwich.

Frank, After all the effort Sue put into her pizza it would have been very rude to say no thank you.

all that's needed on here is some will power and self control

the person who has most of these 2 fine attributes ,will get the frankly derisory celery stick

DK, You are dead right. The thing is you reach a certain age and it doesn't seem so important. At the best you can use the excuse you have forgotten you have already eaten.
It must almost be time for you to be jetting off, have a brill time and I am sure you will agree, it is a complete waste of money just looking at the meals offered.

Shame on me! I have put on weight, due to a massive delicious chicken curry prepared by Sue yesterday lunch time, and followed up at tea time with her home made cream of leek and potato soup. All this and we are on the Norwegian Getaway in Southampton for a one nighter tomorrow. I fear that by Friday mornings weigh in I will be as gross as some of the cynical cross dressers on here...no names, no pack drill.

Frank, are you weighing yourself daily ?? big mistake, I weighed in Monday morning and shan't weigh myself again until next Monday morning, I expect my biggest calorie intake to be over the weekend but hopefully cutting down Monday to Friday will have done some good, as it is only week one for me I will see what this week brings and if I need to cut down more then I will, don't beat yourself up some weeks will be better than others

Keefy, I'm sure it says somewhere but to save me trawling back are we working Monday to Sunday ??

Hi Jo,

If that's the same as weighing in on "Sunday" and starting on Monday then the answer is yes!

Hi Jo,

I have to agree with you where weighing yourself regularly is concerned...best leave it to the official weigh-in on Sunday as your weight can fluctuate dramatically from day to day....best not look then you won't be disappointed if you're on the weigh up.

Regards

Keefy

Hello,

I will weigh in on a Tuesday as I do it at work. Not naked but I do take my shoes off

I lost 2lb this week despite a bottle of red on Sunday.

Well done RB....And thank you for not bringing Onelife's pinch-an-inch diet into disrepute by taking your kit off in a public place

well, do the decent thing and tell us what the scales say, so we can have a hoot!

Hi Alan,

I think it's a little unfair to ask DK to weight in at this time of night...his nearest weigh bridge is 30 miles from where he lives. Ho ho ha ha

Morning pinchers,

So how are my pinch-an-inchers doing? Well, l hope...which is just as well as its only three days till Sundays weigh-in. What you can be sure about is that the coveted celery stick won't be going to my wife this week as l caught her tucking into a packet of Walkers crisps which on balance doesn't sound too bad until l found a discarded chocolate bar wrapper tucked down the side of the sofa...yes pinchers my wife has sinned....have you?

I will admit to raiding the biscuit barrel a couple of times this week but other than that l'm still on course to lose a couple of lbs by Sunday.

Stay strong pinchers.

Regards

Keith.

Hello Keith - so far OK but Saturday evening is always my 'bad' evening. I wish I could weigh in on a Saturday morning before I weaken in the evening but like Jo said you have to hope that if you have been strong most of the week then you might still see a loss. Hopefully you and your wife will still be ok.

Just to say, even if I have the biggest loss this week, please don't send a celery stick - I am sick of the sight of it!!

So does anyone have any tips to keep us on the 'straight and narrow' and please no ....eat all you like but don't swallow it

Probably pretty obvious but if you eat lots of bread ( I don't maybe 2 slices a week ) try cutting down or better still if you feel full leave it, contrary to what our mothers told us we don't 'have' to clear our plates !!!

Cut out the potatoes, we really don't need them and an extra portion of veg will be equally as filling, make potatoes a treat for Sunday dinner.

Do you take sugar in tea/coffee .. I did until about 10 years ago when ( on yet another diet ) decided to cut it out completely, I went from drinking about a dozen cups of coffee a day to about two and thought it would never taste the same again but it's surprising how quickly you get used to it, the same with milk I now only drink black coffee ( unless I have latte etc as a treat which believe it or not I have to have sugar in it )

Alcohol ....my biggest downfall I'm afraid especially Red wine

if anyone knows of a calorie free one please mail me asap

Drink lots of water.

DQ, You sound very positive about how changing your habits can help you. The red wine might be a problem but it is reported as being very good for your heart.

I never had the will power to go on a diet , I eat very little, I don't eat very often but I do eat things that I know are bad for me.

Monday I had shredded wheat in the morning and again at night with nothing in between.
Tuesday I had shredded wheat in the morning, 2 toasted tea cakes loaded with butter at lunch time and a slice of cold lamb in the evening.
Yesterday I had shredded wheat in the morning, Scampi chips and peas at tea time, Xmas pudding and double cream to follow.

I hate to think what is going on inside my body.

I am following this thread hoping it will inspire me to eating differently.

I know it is important to eat small portions, at regular intervals but how do people manage this.

Andrea, I am positive but actually knowing it and putting it into practise is the hard part, I love all the things I shouldn't eat

Like you I'm not a big eater and I find it difficult to eat 3 times a day, when I was working I only ever ate an evening meal and even now I find it a habit hard to get out of, when I eat regularly I lose weight when I eat one meal a day I don't, apparently all to do with your body going into 'starvation mode' so I've been told.

In an ideal world I should weigh about 9 stone ...... if only

but hey I have set myself a goal and will hopefully reach it, I'm aiming for a stone within 6 months so that should be achievable.

Unread post by **Andrea S** » 16 Jan 2014, 12:49

Setting a goal is probably the best advice for anyone.

I think habits we get into over the years are very hard to break. My eating habits definitely come into the starvation mode but my weight doesn't reflect this.

As long as I stay comfortable in my dress size

I am going to post a review of our 24 hours on NCL's new cruise ship Norwegian Getaway some time in the next two days. However on the subject of waistlines etc., I will say here, that while, in the main (no cover charge) restaurants the menus were far more extensive and interesting looking than P&O (as last experienced), the food itself was not imho as good quality or as well cooked as P&O. Sue and the two friends who accompanied us, thought likewise. The restaurants had good ambience, but when it arrived it was not as good. So I would put on weight under that regime searching for that special bit of taste; on P&O generally I dont over eat and yet am well satisfied. - just a thought.
