    I've been logging my weight daily for some time and plotting it on an excel chart. I know that my weight fluctuates so I decided to log daily so I could see patterns that emerge - it would help me do the right thing day after day.

    I added my calories to help with pattern recognition after a few weeks
    Then I added exercise
    Then my water consumption.
    Then my macros instead of just calories
    Then categorised exercise as weights vs. cardio
    Then quality of sleep - then quantity

    After several months of logging I've concluded that:
    - protein shakes and cardio on tuesdays lead to a weight loss as long as I have less than 7 hours of restless sleep.
    - however if I have brocolli or it's a full mooon then my weight goes up.
    - If I lift heavy on a Tuesday then I will gain weight the next day but lose weight on Friday as long as I don't have scrambled eggs on Wednesday - having them on Thursday is ok as long as my chicken salad has cherry tomatoes.
    - 4 cups of tea a day are ok as long as they're from my Mr Tickle mug, if I have them from the blue mug then I'll gain weight.

    I think I need to put this down in a secrets of weight loss book, this stuff is gold dust, I could make a fortune from this scientific research.

    You're funny Steve, but you are a bit fat aren't you?

    I call BS!!! I used my Mr. Tickle mug every day and gained weight! Then I stopped putting sugar in my tea and lost! Sugar is the enemy!

    Don't fret Goldengirl - Steve will know the joke and I'm certain will take no offence

    If you check out Steve's profile you will see that his inspiration for losing weight was the following:

    My 7 year old son said to me... "mummy's not fat is she? and I'm not fat, and you're....well you're lovely...but you are a bit fat aren't you?"

    I merely paid homage to this delightful anecdote.

    Just 1 question, do you use the Mr Tickle plate and bowl too??

    I've a Postman Pat mug (now pushing 30 years old!) - You've inspired me and I'm going to drink my tea from that from now on to see what difference it might (or might not!) make.

    Thanks for the smile

    best wishes from Little (?) Miss Giggles.

    It's from my profile, no offense taken.

    By the way it's after 13:30 in England now so if you walked up the stairs this morning you're going to have to eat an apple before 2pm or you'll be paying for it tomorrow. We're getting into some pretty advanced weight loss skills now - which will be covered in my DVD. If you're worried about losing too much too quickly then just stick with the Mr Tickle mug for now.
