I feel like my future is full of endless shakes! I couldn't bear the porridge and I'm already feeling like the soup later will be vile. What are the bars like? I hear good things about the lemon yogurt one?

11lbs down now. Ben - 53lb lost 0lb to go MrsMcGregor - 36.5lb lost 13.5lb to go Rache83 - 35lb lost 15lb to go Bee32- 34lb lost 16lb to go Theria - 31lb lost 19lb to go Sunlightbub - 28lb lost 22lb to go welaughindoors 19lb lost 31lb to go Laurakasia23- 15lb lost 35lb to go...

Ok so I can't take the porridge then. Each mouthful I was struggling not to throw up but I ate about 2 thirds of it. It was the texture aswell so I won't be trying the other flavours. Yuck.

11lb down in week 1. It was so tough but I survived and now on to week 2. I'm not confident about them, but I've ordered a porridge and a soup to try this week. It will surprise me if I like them but fingers crossed!

Another tough one on day 6 today but I survived. I've made some bread which you'd think would be torture but I actually found it therapeutic to knead the dough, and the smell of bread cooking is unbeatable! I'll leave it to hubby to slice it later as that might be too much temptation! I've...

I'm finding that everyday is turning into fight for me to keep going. The first few days were fine as i was at work so I'm hoping tomorrow will be better. Is this just par for the course?

Hi Crazy, I've spent two days going through most of this thread and I feel like I've been on this journey with you! I'm on day 5 of ss+ 3 products with milk, and I agree that the weekends are so hard! We've got the in laws staying this weekend too so we were out for lunch. I'm avoiding...

So glad folks are back on here! Mine was the last post for weeks and I was beginning to take it personally In addition to PM's books and cds, have any of you read The Beck Diet Solution? It's not a diet plan as in telling you to eat certain foods or a certain way, it's a 6 week kind of...

I found that listening to the cd improved my mood considerably as I think it helped to see myself in a more positive light. Totally agree with the having to find what's best for you. I used to beat myself up thinking about how I should be able to stick to diets if other people can.

Wow this thread has gone rather quiet! and Missmiff appears to be missing. Hope all is well with everyone and the eating is going well. I've been doing 5:2 the last couple of weeks and I'm rather enjoying it. I never quite got to grips with listening to my body so I've found this better for...

First week done and 2lbs down. Pleased with that!

After a few weeks of not eating well or eating well and the weight just not moving, I've finally lost 2lbs this week! I've done the 5:2 way of eating this week and really enjoyed it. I'm still using Mr McKennas methods too but I've just not been getting the results.

Finally! 2lbs down for me after giving 5:2 a go. So that's 3lbs lost in total if someone would please update the list fir me as I can't copy and paste from my phone? Many thanks.

Paul McKenna has a new book called 'Freedom from Emotional Eating' which came out after I had finished the hypnotherapy but I bought it and I've just started to listen to that trance. May be worth a go?

I did 5:2 for a few weeks last year and really liked it but at the time I had a binge eating problem and so that just took over the benefits. After a course of hypnotherapy and CBT last Sept I'm finally free of bingeing. Don't get me wrong, I still fall off the wagon too often and eat too much...

I've been falling off the wagon the last couple of weeks with no obvious reason as to why but I've been back to it this week and including more exercise which results in me eating better. Signed up for the race for life 5k and a 10k starlight walk which are both in June so they will help keep...

Pain is just weakness leaving the body!! As long as your knees are aching and not in pain, then you've done a good thing. My knees were very sore to start with but it's got better although the crunching sound my knees make going up the stairs doesn't get better!

Children in bed, husband upstairs and I was a bit bored and nothing was on tv. Now here is the amazing part: I got off my fat bum, got my workout gear on, and did 30 mins of Hip Hop Abs (can find it on you tube). I felt so much better afterwards!

Thanks, and thanks Anti. I'll take a look for them. Missmiff, where did you download it?

Well done for what you've managed so far and welcome to this friendly and supportive group After a 25 year stretch of suffering as a binge eater, I found that with help from a hypnotherapist and Mr McKenna, I am finally free of the illness (which is what I think it should be classed as). So...

Missmiff, which Zumba dvd do you have please? There seems to be loads of them so I just wondered which one you found good. I'd like a more beginners level one as I don't know how my back will be with it although my physio said zumba would be the best aerobics to do.

Have you measured yourself? I lost only 3.4lbs over the last 4 weeks but I had measured myself and in the same period I lost 9 inches between chest, waist, hips and thighs. I would've been disappointed with the weight loss but it's the inches that matter so I was so glad to have measured.

It's probably down to you as an individual, taking into account how overweight you may be, how much exercise you have done perviously and your overall fitness levels. I am prone to injury so I stick to power walking and by that I just mean I walk as fast as I can so that i'm out of breath. I...

Not having to worry about the threat of a binge any longer has made the biggest difference and I could cry each day with relief that I've finally beaten it. Aside from that, it's just so lovely not to feel guilt with every bite of food I have. I can think about what I fancy eating, and have...

I stayed the same this week. So, month 1 done and I've lost 3.4lbs altogether so far. Just a little amount but at least I'm slimmer than a month ago. The better news is that I've lost 23cm from around my body (chest, waist, hips and thighs) which just goes to show that we should measure...

I'm still at the 50lbs to go mark as I stayed the same this week. So, month 1 done and I've lost 3.4lbs altogether so far. Just a little amount but at least I'm slimmer than a month ago. The better news is that I've lost 23cm from around my body (chest, waist, hips and thighs) which just goes...

I weigh myself on a Fri and Sat morning and take the best reading from it. Last week the Sat was a pound lighter than the Fri even though I had eaten a largish bag of minstrels at the cinema.

Hi, thanks for asking. I went to a hypnotherapist at the end of Sept 2013 and have not had a binge since. I would say that it was probably more the CBT side of it that helped more than the hypnotherapy but I'm amazed that I was unable to undo more than 25 years of bingeing in such a short...

Saturday weigh in for me x

Hi LC, you will learn (it took me a while to get out of the diet mentality) to stop eating when you are full so being on holiday won't change that. You might find that the types of foods you eat on holiday ate less healthy because naturally holiday tend to involve eating out more, but as you...

It would be good to know what diet/way of eating/lifestyle everyone is following? Me, I had hypnotherapy last Sept to beat my binge eating. Noone is more surprised than me that it worked, and after 25 years of suffering as a binger since childhood, I have not binged since my first session 4...

So, ahem #stands up to be counted# Mairead, 0lbs lost 50lbs to go. X

1.6 lbs down this week. Like the tortoise, it will take me a long time but unlike the hare, I will reach the finish line :-) Jane, I like the last bit of your signature 'Weight loss feels better than chocolate tastes'. So true :-) I had a bag of minstrels last night when I went to watch '12...

Well done again Missmiff!

Out of interest, how far and fast do you walk and how often? x

Do you have someone in your house who could hide your scales for the week between weigh-ins?

1lb is still a loss so well done :-)

It's so nice to be relaxed around food isn't it. I haven't been accepting of my diet, until now, since I was about 15. I can finally enjoy food. 2 mile power walk to day. Getting up to the 5k level and then will do a walk/jog mixture so I'm ready for the race for life in July. I'll be a...

Well just a tiny loss this week of 0.6lb but a loss is a loss and it all adds up over time.

Good luck! x

Well done missmiff! Weigh in day for me tomorrow. I feel so much smaller already even though it's only a few pounds. Slow but steady wins the race!

You are both so right, but whilst I am eating well, I have a fear of eating something which might start me on a course of having more and more things and then I'm back where I started. I am eating whatever I fancy when it comes to proper meals but I'm trying to avoid the stuff I don't need and...

There's a doughnut stand at work today and I'm really having to fight my head hunger. Everything sugary seems to be calling me today. I think I'll have something tasty for dinner tonight so I don't feel deprived. Aagh, the mind is powerful! Must not give in!

She really is an inspiration and gives great advice too. Stick around Missmiff, we need you!

Well done!

3 meals a day is just what i'm doing. I'm not being restrictive on what i'm eating so much but i'm sticking to 3 meals a day plus one evening snack (usually cereal). I think it will mean a slower weight loss this way but I can do it for life rather than just to goal. Good luck with weigh in x

Week 1 weigh-in and 1.4lb loss. I'll take that thank you although i'd rather swap it for your 9.5lb MissMiff, well done!

I'm just concentrating on eating healthily rather than following a commercial diet. As much as I wish people well with following commercial diets and all the rules, points, syns, etc, I would rather see a forum topic on here just for a general healthy eating. I can't seem to find hem on here...

I've ordered Mr McKenna's new book 'Freedom from Emotional Eating'. Although I'm sure I've beaten the binge eating, I still want to make sure I don't overeat when different moods take me i.e. boredom, stress etc. I'm hoping he has some tools to help me stay on track. I hope you all had a...

You've done amazingly well. It sounds mad to be slightly disappointed to not get to the 12st loss goal! Must be amazing to compare yourself this Christmas to last Christmas. Well done! How much more do you still want/need to lose? I will be starting in earnest in Jan. 2013 was the year I...

How is everyone coping with the Christmas temptations?

Thanks AngelaSS. Breakfast was a success, I ate all of it but in hoping that's because I got the portion size right. Nutritious risotto is cooking away in the oven for lunch so I'll see how that goes down. I had some chocolate in the freezer I had bought so started eating it but I didn't...

Well, I seem to have beaten the binge eating demons and I've not had a binge for 2 months with the help of my hypnotherapist. Now that problem is dealt with, a second problem has emerged. I'm a greedy pig and like eating unhealthy foods WAY WAY too much! There's no emotional eating...

Wow, well done!

Carrie, could you put your before and after pics on here? I need the inspiration!

For 1?????

6 weeks binge free. Woop woop! No weight loss but I've just been concentrating on not bingeing. The fact I'm not bingeing should lead to weight loss over a longer period of time because of the thousands of calories I'm NOT eating!

Give it a week and you'll settle into it and understand how it works for you x

When you eat, at some point, the food you're eating will not seem as interesting as it did when you started your meal. This would be my way of recognizing that I'm becoming satisfied. At this point stop eating. If 20 mins later you are hungry again then eat some more of it until you get that...

You will start to understand what hunger feels like and get an understanding of how much and when you'll eat etc. If you think you're a bit hungry but unsure, do as AngelaSS suggested and try drinking a glass of water. If you still have the same feeling after 10 mins then you probably are...

Just did the Josie Gibson 30 second slim DVD. Hard work. Especially at 6:30am! Will be rewarded with a bowl of bran flakes altho I'll wait until my sons have eaten their breakfast so I can sit down and eat consciously.

So that's 4 sessions with the hypnotherapist and it's really helped to sort through the things from childhood which made me turn to bingeing for 30 years. I've had no binge for 3 weeks and 4 days (not that I'm counting or anything!) and I'm feeling positive that I'm getting control of it now...

Missmiff that's amazing. It doesn't look like the same person. Well done!! As for me, I'm not concentrating too much on the weight loss right now but just on the binge eating issue. I've now gotten to 3 weeks without a binge which is very good for me and I feel like I can go a lot longer.

Well done pork pie!!! Fantastic work!

I've had two appointments with the hypnotherapist now and she is concentrating on fixing my binge eating problem before looking at the hypno balloon/band. In the two weeks I have lost 3lbs which is good considering I have just been concentrating on not having a binge, and I've eaten all the...

Well done pork pie, great start and long may it continue for you

Well I had my first session last night. We talked a lot about my binge eating and what happens, where it came from etc. There was an incident in childhood where my stepmum told me 'you'll be as big as a house after all that' after my brothers and I had been to the shop to buy sweets. She...

I have my first appointment on Thurs which she said will last 1.5-2 hours. I'm not looking forward to delving into past experiences to explain my binge eating but if it helps me beat it then I'm prepared for it. I had to weigh myself in preparation for my appointment with her and she asked...

Very excited! There is a hypnotherapist in my area who I saw was doing a hypno balloon case study and advertising for people to take part on Facebook so I responded to that. In the meantime I had already emailed her to ask her about how she could help me with my binge eating problem and we had...

Lovely! What a good way to celebrate and it will always remind you of your achievement

Wow Mr Missmiff, that's amazing! How about your before and current picture Missmiff?

Hi birdie87 and welcome. I found your paragraph about succeeding in everything else but diet funny as that is just the same as me. I'm in good control of every area of my life apart from diet! As for your other information, I think you just have to find your own way of doing it. You are...

I was just going to do a 6 week plan and then see what happened with the measurements but I decided to measure today as I wasn't sure if I'd made any progress or not. I was pleasantly surprised by the result so I'll do it again in 2 weeks. I took my son out for lunch in the week as he...

Ok, so I've had 2 weeks of sticking to 3 meals a day and no bingeing. 12 out of the 14 days were all good and I just had 2 where I was picking at extra foods. I don't weigh myself any longer but I did measure myself and after two weeks I'm very pleased to say that I've lost 13cm of my fat...

I hear you! My eldest has his first day at 'big school' on Tues so I need to control my emotions so I don't binge. Will definitely need to listen to the cd Mon night!

Dust yourself off, pick yourself up and start again. You know yourself that the worst thing you could do here would he to heat yourself up about it because you know where that leads! I'm going out for a meal tonight and normally that means I eat loads of rubbish all day because I've 'spoilt...

DoodleDo, I have found that the I Can Make You Thin book and CD has been better for me personally so don't be disheartened if you don't find the HGB as successful as you'd like as you could try ICMYT instead. Whichever one works, I think the main result people have is not so much that you...

Please let me have a picture of that moment, lol!

That's just amazing Missmiff. You should try getting some weights to represent that 9st and you probably wouldn't even be able to lift it up. Amazing loss, well done. My husband said last night "you seem really happy these days". Thanks Mr McKenna :)

This is exactly how I have felt about myself for as long as I can remember BUT NO MORE!

I listened to the ICMYT CD last night after finishing the book. I had listened to the HGB CD 3 or 4 times but I wasn't sure if I had gone into a trance although I was relaxed. The ICMYT CD on the other hand, I couldn't tell you what he was talking about as I was just daydreaming through it all...

Well done Angela on your loss and well done Kie on staying the same at TOTM as that's not easy with bloating etc. I took my measurements yesterday and have a 6 week fitness plan to do so hopefully that, along with eating properly, will do great things with my measurements. I bought the...

How did you get on Kie?

Today is my birthday. I woke up feeling sad as I binged yesterday but I've taken control back and my binge foods ( choc, crisps and ice cream) are banished from my life forever. I'm in charge, not my body! This isn't depriving myself of these foods, I'm simply choosing not to eat them as...

gmds This is the reasons I don't weigh myself anymore as I get too fixated on the numbers. If my clothes feel looser then I know I'm doing well and I've also measured myself and will do it again in a month. I mentioned a hypnotherapist I had found in my local area earlier in this thread as...

dbbd I'll let you know TheConstantslimmer, it seems to have helped other people with their eating issues so hopefully it will help me too.

Well done for those losses, that's great news! I've bought the ICMYT book so I'm going to be using that too combined with the HGB as I'm a binge water and the HGB alone isn't helping with that specifically. My son is starting school in a couple of weeks so I'm putting this on hold so that...

If I was included in the being rude bit then my sincere apologies also. I would never mean to upset or offend anyone. We are all here to support each other and like you say, different things work for different people. What I was trying to understand from you was how you felt it didn't...

Whatever you call this way of eating, the cd doesn't lose the weight for you. It only helps support your journey. You and you alone make the choice about what and how much food goes in and a level of willpower is needed along with the cd.

When you say it didn't work, what do you mean? Putting the cd aside, if you have really followed the 4 rules, then you will have lost weight. I have found that listening to the cd hasn't made me feel fuller any quicker but as long as I follow the four rules, then it does make a difference...

That's just what I thought! Haha

What do you all tend to think about when you listen to the cd? My mind doesn't switch off very easily so I focus on counting down from 300 from the point he starts that, but I don't know if I'm supposed to stop doing that at some point further on in the cd? I find I lose track of the numbers...

I listen to it when I go to bed, could you do that? I've listened to it for the last 3 nights and had the same experience as you on the first listen. Strange isn't it?!! I think one of the important things I'm trying to remember is that I still need to follow the four rules and mot just...

Mars143, I've just started myself so let me know how you get on Maggiemags, good luck. Hope it works for you! I'm still waiting for the fullness thing to kick in but in the meantime I'll keep following the four rules x

I've listened to the cd 3 times now and i've not noticed any difference in feeling fuller quicker. I'm following the four rules and therefore eating mindfully and better overall. I just wish I had the feeling of being full after a small plate of food that others on here seem to have. I'm not...

bfdghhhkjdxnhfx Good luck Kazz2011! I've listened to the cd twice now and I've not found yet that I feel full quicker than normal. I am following the four rules so that is helping anyway. Did anybody find it took a number of times listening to the cd before it made any difference?

Wow, I've just had the op and my gastric band is in! I've no idea what the effect will be but listening to the cd is sooo relaxing. I feel like I've had another 8 hour sleep. Strangely there is a sensation in my stomach so I'm hoping my unconscious mind has taken something in. Feeling...

fj00065 Wow, I've just had the op and my gastric band is in! I've no idea what the effect will be but listening to the cd is sooo relaxing. I feel like I've had another 8 hour sleep. Strangely there is a sensation in my stomach so I'm hoping my unconscious mind has taken something in...

MissMiff you have done amazing and you were an inspiration to me when reading through this thread. I can't deny that I'm glad you are human and can have a little blip! My blips are too often and too long which is why I'm over weight of course. I'm going to listen to the cd soon and see what...

How do you tend to cope with emotional eating now, i.e. What do you do to make yourself feel better when you ate angry, sad etc instead of turning to food?

Hgb Thanks Taz. The therapist I have found nearby has replied to me. She's on holiday at the moment so she's going to reply properly when she gets back. In the meantime I'll listen to the PM cd in the hope that it works. I'm already following his four rules but hopefully this will help...

Taz, I see you live in Bristol and seem to be getting on well with seeing a hypnotherapist? Could you tell me who you see please and what experience you've had? I'm in Royal Wootton Bassett so your therapist might be close enough and it would be good to see a recommended person. Thanks in...

dd Well done Sammym, that's an amazing loss! I've still not done the Paul Mckenna cd yet as I'm waiting for a few hypnotherapists to get back to me to see if I can make sure I look at my historic eating problems. I have though been following his four rules and that alone certainly helps...

CBT From reading further into these posts, I think I may need to try to sort out my historic eating problems before I'm able to us PM's HGB successfully. I've just looked up a hypnotist nearby and asked her for some further info on her training etc. I've also seen on FBook that she was...

I bought the Paul McKenna HGB book a couple of weeks ago and I'm nearly ready to have the 'op'. Your stories have been so inspiring and helpful so thank you so much for that. I gave up weighing myself a couple of months ago as it does me no good whatsoever so I'm not going to be measuring...

Nearly Ready! Wow, I have spent a lot of the day reading right through all the posts in this thread. I bought the HGB book a couple of weeks ago and I'm nearly ready to have the 'op'. Your stories have been so inspiring and helpful so thank you so much for that. I gave up weighing myself...
