    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.

    I absolutely adore this! I am borrowing it to send to the weight loss support group I run at the office. I just told them about MFP on Wednesday so this will be another reason for them to come and check this out.


    Happy Friday to you! :heart:

    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!

    you're using the Mr Tickle bulking mug - it's an easy mistake to make - you probably need another column on your spreadsheet to track correctly. Simply buy my 2014 calendar to get the correct mug details.

    Now wait a minute! It's gone from being a useful piece of shared advice to being a full on marketing campaign!

    You've sold out already man! How long before the 'Steve Doll' is on our shelves!

    LOVE! Thank you so much for this! I initially thought it was serious, but quickly realized it was satire. Another reason I love the British. I'm so looking forward to seeing my British friends at the end of this month!

    It's a good question, and one I answer in my upcoming ebook "Mr Ticklemug - how I made my fortune" - pre-order it now.

    This is perfect. I've been caught in analysis paralysis myself a time or two.

    I weigh myself daily. I feel it gives me a better idea of my current standings. I also weigh myself multiple times a day knowing that It fluctuates. I feel it benefits me on many levels. 1. get a more accurate read out of my current weight; 2. keeps me on track because I see too much of a gain, I bust butt to burn it off (even if it's not needed); 3. Gave me a better idea of how and when my body gains and loses weight.

    I think they say you shouldn't weigh yourself more than once a week because some people may see a fluctuation and freak. But I say too many people have little faith in others. A little common sense and logic goes a long way.

    Weighing daily has helped me discover that salad and water leave me 5lb up and the duvet hovering, but my patented "beer and pizza cleanse" brings about a record low on the scales.

    I know you're busy but could I trouble you for a couple of pages as a preface in my forthcoming biography 'The fall and rise of Mr Ticklmug'? Nothing deep, just something along the lines of "I wasn't equipped to handle all the fame and fortune; I should never have forgotten the little people as I scrambled on the backs up the ladder of success"

    Perfectly summed up trying to figure out what makes you lose weight … if I drink a large glass of water and lie down on my left side for 1 hour, I can lose up to a pound! Isn't that amazing. Now, if I drank it from a Tickle Mug, maybe it would make a massive difference!!! I'll have to try it.
