I know, golf must be one of the unhealthiest sports, going on our average weight. Must be with golf having a large "social side" to it also. Maybe the next forum meet should be in Japan. We'll beat them in the pairs in the morning then on the Sumo matts in the afternoon!!

Well we've pretty established who's in (although anyone who hasn't yet joined and wants to would be welcome)

How do you want to play the weigh in thread on the day?

Start a new thread. Add to this one. Have a sticky and update weekly.

I personally think a fresh, dated thread every week, would be he best way. So Mondays would look something like:

Weekley Weigh In 1 (09/01/12)

Anyone have any opinions?

Maybe Gareth and Amanda could mentor the group and give pointers/encouragement when necessary.


Thats sounds good to me. post your numbers and keep your fingers away from the keyboard. leave the comments to Amanda and Gareth :D


13st 8lbs, 5ft 7ins short

Target 12st by end of year, but would like more
 
May seem a slightly silly question, is there any advantage or disavantage to weighing yourself, morning or evening:mmm:

If you've had a bad week, before your tea (dinner if your from down south), after a bath, cut your toe and finger nails, go the toilet, use snuff, trim your nasal hair and get a hair cut.

Thats what I used to do before slimming world.
 
There is only 1 calorie in diet coke whereas there is serious calories in Coke. I try to limit myself to 1 can of diet coke with my tea/dinner and have water the rest of the time.
Read somewhere that all fizzy drinks are bad for you just some have calories and some don't. That when dieting to cut them all out but I couldn't so reduced to 1 can. But that was from average 2 litres of diet coke a day.

I can take you to a field and show you sugar growing but I cant take you to a field and show you aspartame or acesulfame K growing. I know what I would rather put into me and I work in a soft drink producing factory
 
I'd go with a morning weigh in after a trip to the loo ! Main thing is to weigh yourself at the same time but at least in the morning it will be more consistent as on an empty stomach (and bladder and ummm....depends on your routine).

Deit drinks are a whole new topic. There has been some argument that they don't aid weight loss as the signals to the brain are "hey here comes sugar" and then there's no sugar, leaving the body craving what it was expecting. Also diet coke in particular does contain a host of ingredients that can never claim to be good for you but at zero calories it does have something in its favour. I personally like it and drink it BUT always avoid it around and with meals as it limits the absorption of certain nutrients so you don't get the best from your food.

Everything in moderation isn't a bad mantra - so long as it's legal :whistle:

Have to agree with this one, aspartame was being touted as the next crack cocaine !!!! It is amazing what it is in though. Would rather have the full sugar version and less of it than any diet stuff.
I have got in to the habit of drinking water when out for a meal or even at home, you do get some strange looks when ordering "tap water and ice". :cheers:
 
Oh - and I think a fresh thread on each Monday to keep it manageable...
