What on earth is Operation Skinny Cow?

Operation Skinny Cow was born after a few of us in Blogland decided it might be nice to lose some weight and/or get a bit fitter. We decided it would be even nicer if we encouraged each other along the way.

You can read about how it started in this post.

Fun with the Scales (Manda)

In response to Femina's recent post about scales and the continuing saga of my new electronic ones:

I thought I was the only one conducting a... "scientific experiment" this week. But the upstairs bathroom has had noticeably more traffic of late, and this morning I found out why. My Dad, all decked up in his bike-riding outfit, was on his way upstairs when he remarked: "Those new scales are pretty snazzy... Have you been weighing yourself before and after you use the toilet?"

Why yes, I have. 
...Have you?
"Yep."
Mystery solved. 

Too much information? 
(Then don't read this bit: the results are in and I average a half-kilo difference between before and after.)

What, every time? Or just on... errr... certain occasions every couple of days or so?

Oh wait, do I really want to know the answer?? Hehe... I imagine this is one conversation we won't be sharing with anyone else at work, eh?

Goodness, I hope not.

No, a complete average of every time... it's almost always the same regardless. (Odd? Don't worry, I'll continue the experiment this week).

I have caught my husband doing the same thing, bless his heart...But he only weighs 155 lbs. Dont know the conversion but it's not much to start with anyhow. I dont know what he is trying to prove.
