This board is a lot quieter than I remember a few years ago

[slim2012]

Never mind...I post a LOT when I get going so you'll all get fed up of my posts

[Lily]

Yes, it is, I agree. I reckon we should start posting threads all over the place, get things moving!

Should be some newbies along soon too (along with some more oldies-but-goodies ), it's that time of year!

I'm a repeat offender!! Always back with near on the same amount to lose.....oops. Starting back on the 9th hopefully. Totally different consultant and with a boyfriend who supports me bring it on!! Again

It's much quieter than when I joined in 2008, but then 1) It's christmas and 2) when I first joined, the TFR choices were Cambridge, LL and Lipotrim... now we have those 3 plus Exante, S&S, Celebrity Slim, just to name a few, and that is just one form of diet!!! The forum on the whole has expanded in to some many different pages, add on to that the sub-catergories for each diet... my point being there is probably still as many users, they are just more spread out

[slim2012]

Oh I'm good at posting all over the place LOL. Cazza I remember you from a few years back I see what you mean about the other diets available but even so it seems soooo quiet here.

[Starlit_Cazza]

I recognise your picture (I think?) but obviously not your username...what was your old username?

[Lily]

Aha, yes - of course! I think I remember who you are too, Slim2012! Did your previous username begin with P?

[slim2012]

Yes Lily Cazza-it was polishrose. I wanted a fresh start in 2012...didn't help mind LOL

[Lily]

LOL, the times I've wanted to do that. I did invent another username at one point but didn't really use it in the end. I keep thinking that I have to get this diet right eventually and then I can be one of those smug "if at first you don't succeed, keep trying" examples.

Think that might be the voice of hope over experience but I'm determined to keep going!

[slim2012]

Yeah I wish I hadn't bothered changing it now.I thought it might give me a boost but nope.Still at least I'm back on it now.And will not be giving up this time.

Hiya ladies, another oldie back for one last attempt at this. I'm feeling a lot more determined than I ever have before, I need to shift this weight. I'm well out of my comfort zone and I hate it. I'm starting again on New Year's Day, forgoing the usual feast and just getting cracking. I'm not allowing myself any tweaks (splash of milk in tea/coffee, the odd pick here and there). It's not happening!!!

I've even gone back and read some of my posts from 2008 when I did it so successfully and I was so single minded. Minis has changed so much since then though, there seems to be a lot more negativity and a lot less support but I'm not letting that stop me as its just a personal feeling I get, it might just be me feeling vulnerable at the moment.

Anyway good luck with starting again, I guess it doesn't matter how many times we restart so long as we never give up completely

Hi Surfhunny, I agree - never give up! I didn't succeed the first time I gave up smoking but I learnt something each time I tried. I haven't smoked for over 5 years now! Trying to apply the same logic to losing weight!

Welcome back and good luck!

I did that, Sal - went back and read some of my first posts here. I sounded so upbeat and positive LOL - well, not surprising really. I lost 30 pounds in 6 weeks! Sounds good to me. I'm tweaking just a teeny bit - I'm having a teensy drop of skimmed milk when I have the occasional cup of tea because I get so heartily sick of having black coffee all the time. But other than that, no modifications. Zip, nada.

Yay, Scooterchick - hello-ee!

Congratulations on starting the new year at a lower weight than last new year. Sadly, I can't say the same!

I'm going to need help to hang on in there - on day 2 and at the "I'd eat my own arm" stage.
