"Onelife's Pinch an inch diet"

[Frank Manning]

only a 3 lb gain this week, to take me to just a smidge over 15 stone

must try harder

Well Darkest one, you perhaps dont realise how tough it is for the likes of me and the others, to be a 'ten bob millionaire', and try to lose weight when you have so much money with which to buy caviar, quail, champagne, oysters, and all the other classy stuff we get delivered to table by our staff, on silver salvers every day.

[Dark Knight]

Frank ,
as it is more a case of, fur coat and no knickers for the recipients of the government's "benefits for the aged" scheme, I suspect cheese on toast and cuppa soup is more the norm ,served on a tea tray in front of the 1 bar electric fire, wrapped in a tartan blanket

the true essence of the 10 bob millionaire is pretending to be part of the wealthy elite, whilst wearing a Matalan or Primark DJ and cheap shoes on formal night and also bragging about the price of their ex council house on some sink hole estate south of London and trying and failing miserably to exhibit any style or class what so ever, but carrying on regardless

Hi Frank...pleased to see you've ditched the chocolate digestives for more healthier options

Well done on last weeks weight loss

[Susan Watt]

I'm afraid I strayed from the fold as they say. Couldn't get back in to it after our holiday to Knowle. Now back on track and have 2lb to lose to have lost my 1st 2 stone. Only another 4 to get to my teenage weight but I don't think I'll ever manage that Another 2 would make me happy.

Susan - it took me all the time from 3rd January to end of May to lose about 11 or 12 lbs so I think you have done fantastically well to have lost nearly 2 stone in that time. Very well done.

hmm... still 11-9-2. At least it hasn't gone up.

Hi Alan,

"No gain no pain"

Stay strong pinchers and remember ....." Slim like Susan Watt or you'll go to pot"

141 lb this morning so not bad. Slowly starting to replace clothes but still not brave enough to get rid of all the bigger sizes although I could do with the space in the wardrobe.

Good luck pinchers.

Maureen

Pounds sound so much better

[Kenmo1]

Pounds sound so much better

It's nice to lose the pounds in weight but it is the money pounds being spent to replace clothes which isn't so good.

I bumped into someone yesterday who I hadn't seen for about six months and her first words were 'Crikey, you've lost some weight' which cheered me up.

Maureen

[Susan Watt]

Got rid of another 3lb this week. One more to reach the 2 stone mark. Hubby and I are off to the south coast in July for 10 days so need to get rid of as much as possible before then.

[Onelife]

Good morning pinchers,

Like Maureen lve also had the "crikey"you aint half lost weight" comments....and like Maureen l'm reluctant to throw out my now larger dress sizes....Oops!

There certainly is a sence of achievement when such comments are passed.

I know l'm being a little greedy but l was expecting to have lost more than 2lbs this week as l was hoping to have got down to 12 stone. (12-1 this morning)

Ah well still going in the right direction and next week should ( for the second time) see me below the 12 stone barrier.

Beef roast today so l better get preparing the veg.

Stay strong pinchers and remember....." don't eat late, you'll put on weight"

Regards

Keith

Well done Susan

[Frank Manning]

1.8lbs this week.

[Suekersh]

No weigh in this week as have been visiting friends over the weekend. I will check out the damage tomorrow. Only 1 week till our cruise. Not lost anything like as much as I wanted to.

Well done all you losers.

Sue

[Dancing Queen]

Lost the 2.5lbs I gained last week ( that had gone by mid week ) + another lb, not as good as it sounds but I'm back heading in the right direction.

Not sure what happened last week as I still don't think I had gained but I weighed myself 3 times and it was the same each time, I haven't done anything different at all this week so it doesn't make much sense

Anyway well done to everyone else

[Onelife]

Hi Jo,

l actually think its harder to lose weight when, as in your case you don't have a lot to lose. Well done with shedding the weight you put on last week

Regards

Keith

[Suekersh]

Morning all,
I knew the weekend would have done some damage. 2 1/2 lb on. How come it has taken me a month of hard dieting to lose that and in 3 nights it goes back on.

So frustrated and fed up.

You've done it once, you can do it again.

Well done Susan

[Onelife]

I'm sure you along with hundreds of thousands "me included" have got to that point where you think this aint going nowwhere. Now l aint no slimming guru but what l do know is that you have to be in tne right frame of mind to succeed at dieting. Those who succeed will be those who have prepared mentally for what lies ahead.

You've only recently returned from your last cruise having " by all accounts " enjoyed many of the gastronomic delights on offer. Considering the short period of time between your last cruise and your forthcoming cruise its hardly surprising you haven't managed to get back into dieting proper.

Just go and enjoy your forthcoming cruise and think about dieting when you get back....oh and next time try and give yourself 6 months between booking cruises

Keep smiling Sue and have a fantastic cruise

Regards

Keith

You'll soon be needing a ' new you ' Avatar then ...

[Dancing Queen]

You will just have to do less cruises Sue

Have a great time.

[Suekersh]

Thanks all. Doing fewer cruises is not an option at the moment. We will only be back 8 weeks before we are off again for almost 3 weeks by then it will be mid September and we are away for just over 3 weeks at Xmas, then again in March for 2 weeks. Not moaning at all but it is vary hard to lose it in between cruises.

After our March cruise we have approx 6 months before we have another booked. I will just have to keep Garry away from the cruise brochures.

I will keep chipping away at the excess weight. I think the problem this time has been the lack of exercise. I need to get my mojo back but after the cruise.

Sue
