Hi Jo,

l think there is some truth in what you say but its not the cappuccino l'm worried about its the 6 sweetners per cup that could be the bigger problem

Keith

Cut the sweeteners out it will taste foul for a couple of weeks but you will be surprised how quickly you will get used to it

[Dancing Queen]

Well done DK

Now can I tempt you to a cream cake

[Stephen]

I cut out sugar years ago. I tried cutting down from two to one spoon of sugar, then thought if I'm cutting down to one I might as well cut it out altogether. As you say DQ, you soon get use to it.

I just eat the biscwuits and cakes now

I use to know someone who had at least five sugars in his tea/coffee. Don't know if he's still alive. But I bet Tate & Lyle would be keen to get their hands on him for recycling if he's no longer with us.

[Dark Knight]

cheers Jo
Iced buns for me, don't like chocolate, oddly enough

In the 1970's one of my customers was British Sugar Corpration, and woe betide you if you were seen not to take sugar in your tea when visiting Cantley, or Bury st Edmunds' factories.

I'm afraid that I have had a weakness for cakes and bicuits for most of my life, and I wonder if my addiction to McVities plain choc digestives should be a notifiable disease, with NHS treatments available. Staying off them has been very painful when I have been trying to lose weight.

[Kenmo1]

Frank - I was getting worried about you as you haven't weighed in recently. How is the diet going?

Ooooo, it has to be McVities Frank, like it always has to be Heinz with me.

[Andrea S]

Well done Sue. That shows a lot of determination.

[suespud]

Well done Sue. That shows a lot of determination.

Thank you Andrea, it's not always easy, but worth it!!
Want to be around to see my grandchildren grow up.

Sue, apart from personal health I cannot think of a better incentive. I am sure the men in your life take care of the boys but all the girly things you have to look forward to with your Granddaughter.

[Onelife]

Hi Suespud,

I've been trying to think of an achievement award that expresses the effort that must have gone into losing that amount of weight. There's no point in sending you a "crate" of celery sticks as they have a very short shelf life so l've decided to send you all the monies donated to the onelife cruise appeal as an alternative.. do you need a tissue? Well you'll need one when you receive it

Sue.....l can't think of a better incentive than giving yourself the best chance possible of many more happy years with your grandchildren.

Well done you

Regards

Hi pinchers,

Keith, I feel your pain at having to eat those quarter pounders - how upsetting for you.

Luckily, we didn't have our Saturday night wine and chocolates with friends last night. It's going to be tonight instead so I'm pleased to weigh in this morning as it is obviously going to be worse tomorrow after a binge tonight. I have lost a measly 4 ounces and the scales are showing 142 lbs but I'm grateful for that as we had some Magnums in the freezer and they seemed to have disappeared - can't think where they went.

Keep going pinchers and well done to Suespud.

Maureen

[Dancing Queen]

I shall have to weigh in tomorrow as the scales decided to die on me and I couldn't be bothered faffing around changing batteries with a lovely hot shower waiting

Well done Maureen I think we are all struggling now to get these last couple of lbs off, not so well done Keefy you could have said 'No' on second thoughts maybe not

Keith....honestly, I have been a real FAT fatty for nigh on 25 years, yoyo dieted many many times.
Lost stones, then put them back on,repeatedly.
I am now........2lbs away from being 6st.....yes six stones lighter, than I was at my heaviest.
I want to loose another 3st. Then I will be at a weight I can live the life I want, hopefully longer..

Thanks for your support.
I don't post much on this thread, but love reading it!!!
Mad....you lot are mad....lolol
PS..I had steak and SW chips last night and a bar of chocolate...and some wine!!
Back to plan this morning.
good luck everyone.xxxx
If I can do it...believe me ANYONE CAN!!!!

[Suekersh]

2lb off this week. I Need to try harder but it is going to be hard over Easter as have son and DIL staying.

Good morning pinchers,

I've decided to introduce a new term into the pinch-an-inch diet, something that fits nicely inbetween weight gain an weight loss so l've come up with "hovering" which as it implies is a term that can be used ( give or take 3 ounces) either side of what your scales should be reading.

As Jo has said, the last few lbs are the hardest so we must stay strong pinchers and not beat ourselves up about it if we find ourselves "hovering" for the odd week or two.

So Maureen its a big well done from me because 4 ounces doesn't fit into the hovering definition so you can flutter away to your hearts content.

Before l tell you how l have done l just want to say...." No " l didn't put my fingers down my throat last night" but the quarter pounders havn't as yet found their way to my scales so l've just weighed in at 12 stone 2lbs which equates to another lb loss this week....to date that means l have lost 22lbs with 6 to go.

Stay strong pinchers and remember...." words of caution, eat smaller portion"

Regards

Keith

P.s Sue l can't promise that l'll be joining you in your terrific effort to lose another 3 stone but l/we will certainly be here to encourage you along the way.

[Romig1]

I know I don't report in often, but I've now lost almost a stone since mid-Jan, through a mixture of slightly more sensible eating, less weekday drinking, and a visit or two to the gym per week. Only 1.5" off my widest part which is a tad disappointing, but my fitness is hugely improved, and I feel better for it. If only we didn't go to the cricket club on a Sunday and drink loads of beer, I'd have lost more, I'm certain! Hoping to lose at least a couple more lbs before we go on holiday in early May, but we have a 4 day break in a foodie hotel in Scotland at Easter first - which may prove to be a challenge. Hoping for some decent weather so we can go on some strenuous walks.

Keep up the good work, everyone.

[Onelife]

Hi Romig.

As l've always said the onelife pinch-an-inch diet is open to anyone even closet dieters like yourself

I have to say l'm surprised to hear that you've been on a diet as the last time we met my wife comented on what a handsome well groomed, fit young gentlman you were... Oh and since we last met you'll be pleased to hear that my wifes cataract operation went well.

Well done Romig and do pass on my best wishes to your gorgeous wife Wina.

Keith
