[costaerer]

last monday morn i weighed myself on my homescales. theyarent the digital ones. i weight a couple of lbs under 19stone....quite hard to pin point where exactly ....
now i just went on the scales this morning (exactly one week later...when i first got up n everything, no clothes etc etc) and i weigh about1lb over 18 stone. like can it be seriously to lose like 12lbs in a week?? thats mental!

ps: not eating ne thing today yet

 

[Jot]

I think it depends on how much you have to lose, I lost 10lbs the first week when i did the Cambridge diet. mind you I only had their shakes for the week a real low cal diet.

B. Beans on toast 280

L. chicken sandwhich 400

d. Chicken stew. 500

1180 cal

Going to aerobics tonight, going for the burn

Hi Costa

To be honest I started off at about a stone more than you and lost nowhere near 12lbs in the first week, I think that'd be soooo much, especially just doing calorie counting! First week I lost 5lbs, then second week I lost 6.75lbs. Are your scales a bit older? They might need calibrated?

We had a really old set that would weigh me around 2 stone lighter than I really am, lol. Changed them over for a set of WW digital scales, which are FAB!

Seeing as it's your first week I'm betting you've lost a decent amount, but like I say, 12lbs sounds rather alot for one week calorie counting.

Okies, today's menu so far!

B: Rice krispies, coffee
S: Alpen bar
L: Baked potato with chilli and a salad

573 calories so far!

 

[LaLaLou]

Ooh PS, just in case, don't leave your scales in the bathroom! The humidity is what ruined our last set, and I didn't realise til I read it somewhere else

 

[costaerer]

lol. they are a yr old , and they are in the bathroom!? so they are not really that old. going to get some digi scales soon and keep them in the bedroom!

tbh, i work in a restaurant, i could easily be eating 4000 kals a day...it really really wouldnt surprise me. pizza...onion rings...chips...ice cream...cake....etc etc... so im now eating between 1200-1700 really it is a pretty big difference, with about 8 stone i need to lose! i dunno what to think really....i kinda want to go to a diet club just to be weighed but dont rly want to pay

 

[costaerer]

just had lunch... vegi fingers, quorn thing,and vegetable = 640kals!

 

[Jot]

Costa, have you got a boot's close by they usually have weighing scales to use?

 

[LaLaLou]
