    Can't stop eating

    Hi there, the lesson to be learnt is next time you want to cheat remember how you are feeling now. Its just not worth it. Once you slip it is so hard to get back on track (I should know, as I have done it many times), just remember the bad feelings you get after pigging out, and hopefully it...

    What time to you stop drining water on WI days?

    I just carry on as normal. I dont think it would make much difference to your weigh in. Glugging a ton of water in one go to make up for what you have lost in the day is surely not good for anyone.
