PB and CHEESE?! is cheese different in the UK?!

[/ QUOTE ]

Bear in mind we have real cheese in the UK.

I usually use cheddar.

and bear in mind that that's real cheddar as well. Its not yellow, its more of a cream colour, it being made from cream and all.

I've never known anyone else who eats PB and Cheese sandwiches, so i could well be the creator. It also works well if you melt the cheese into the peanut butter to form a gooey mess.

what do you do? that would be strange being opposite of 95% of people in terms of routine.

Howard Beale · #47 02-22-2007, 04:14 PM

You folks may have done this before but you didn't do it MY way.

beenben · #48 02-22-2007, 04:14 PM

avoid 75% of day care costs; lower call volume at work.

Only way I can keep myself motivated to continue to lose weight. If I know that I have to step on that scale and see what going to that buffet did to me for the next week, then I have a much greater chance of stopping myself before I do something stupid.

You also start to understand how food, exercise, drinking, and other things effects your weight. I think you understand more about your body and then you are able to adjust on the fly.

I lost 40 pounds from January06 to October06. Gained 10 of it back from October06-January06. Back on the wagon. It starts by weighing my fat ass ever day.

bd8802 · #50 02-22-2007, 04:42 PM

For instance, if i only weighed myself once a week I might not get an accurate representation of my actual weight over the course of the week. It could be that I drank to much water, had some food I didn't really need, or just bloated, constipated, any number of things. By weighing myself every day I have a better understanding of the fluxuations that take place.

It did not drive me insane at all. Actually, it really motivated me. I look forward to weighing in and seeing what my instant results.

I noticed fluxuations day-to-day of as much as 3 pounds. And when you are trying to only lose 1-2 pounds a week seeing that is rather upsetting. But, you learn that it is just how your body works.

It works for me. Probably does not work for everyone.
