Hi I ordered and just recieved my VLCD products, admin removed my first post as it is a name I'm not allowed to use due to spamming? anyway I'm starting it on Monday as we are away at the end of the week and come home later on sunday, so what am I to expect? I've never followed a vlcd before...

Yay well done!!xx

It's disheartening when you're good and you still gain. I was super good last week and still gained 2.5lbs. I've had a stomach bug that I'm struggling to shake off it has really upset my digestion, but I'm no longer constipated, so how I gained I just don't understand. I was and still am fuming...

Hi, I've had a rough few weeks, I can now say I'm not constipated, not one just gone but last weekend I got another bout of sickness and the other. Since then I don't seem to be keeping much in, including my slow release medication and it's been hell trying to cope with the pain and the sporadic...

I am having a bad memory day so going to reply as I go. I get horrible sulphur burps and I don't know why it's a whole day long sometimes too. And I get terribly bloated. Xx

Hiya! Thanks cheekychinchilla appreciate the support and that you care enough to worry. I had my gallbladder out 4 years ago, hopefully the blood tests from last week will be in tomorrow so find out if my liver kidney and thyroid are working plus he was checking for vit d etc. Still got the...

To be honest Fran I would forgo the dog walking, your aches and pains will cause you more problems in the long-term, dogs love walks like kids love sweets, they don't need them every day to be happy, he will be far happier having your company. Sounds like a good few days off with nate. I get...

Yep it was awful, however I still feel bunged up, although I had terrible water explosions nothing solid came out, beginning to wonder if there was anything there in the first place. But that being said my lower tummy still feels rock solid inside basically lower than my belly button. I havnt...

Try not to punish your self if the result is not what you want, sometimes the scenic route is far more beneficial in the long-term, if you've had a blip it's just that, 4 days 12meals until Friday, you'll be surprised if you focus you could turn it around. I'm still struggling thankfully it's...

Hi cheekychinchilla, hope you're watching some scary film to relax and switch off tonight. Are you working tomorrow? Other than studying etc How are the aches and pains today? Hope you're having a chilled evening xxx

That's really good,are you enjoying it? Finally no longer bunged up, caught a stomach bug, it's been a long 24hrs. Xx

Ahhh happy 3rd birthday nate, he's looking more handsome by the day!!! What great news on the potty training front!! Not so good you're so tired, I hope your feeling revived after your sleep tonight! My brother is just as bad when it comes to birthdays too. I get so cross and he reacts like...

Still feeling rough but 100 times better than last night. I've not been sick like that for as long as I remember. Still coming out the other end, and the stomach cramps are like Labour pains. Still can't face food, had a twix earlier as one of my drugs can't be taken without food and a twix was...

Oh no what a day! Hubby made a non SW lunch Fed up of me not going to the bathroom, he made roast beef etc and choc sponge and choc custard. I felt off and niggling all day, now I know why, my carer had a sick bug last weekend, seems I have caught it, feels so painful I haven't had one like this...

Scrappy week, lots of medical appointments, and still chronically constipated despite being on stuff from Dr to sort it. Gained 1/2lb this week, but no huge surprise considering. When do you start the New job? What's it going to be about? Xxx

Hope today at work was unusually peaceful. I've had a really bad day diet wise I'm sick of feeling run down. Hope you're ok Xx

Hi! Sounds like a hectic week, but well done you on getting the New job!! And awesome weight loss too!!! Sorry I've been awol, rubbish week, hope you get the loss this week you wish! Xx

Good food day! I've really missed biscuits lately, if I gain this week I won't be happy,but may buy a packet to munch, although I'm off up north again weigh in day, can hear the services krispy kreme doughnuts calling already. Xx

Very true, I will get results in few more days, chronic conditions like yours and mine are hell to live withxxx

Cheekychinchilla I'm disappointed with your works lack of support. It bothers me they're heaping even more on your plate. Regarding the pain clinic, when you finally get there, don't let them put you on slow release morphine, I got put on it without knowing how addictive it is for the body, and...

Thanks Fran. I had blood tests this week just to make sure nothing else is going on, I'm sure it'd be my large medicine cocktail to blame. Xxx

Hi Fran, sorry I've been awol, I loved nate's pictures, he's exactly as I imagine, I'm suffering mixed feelings for you regarding the Dr, obviously thyroid is doubled edged because it's a fixable answer, but like you say it's life long, ME , hubby was suddenly struck down with this during his...

Hi all! Been a very mixed week, bum still playing up, drs given me more drugs still very hit and miss, very low week personally and struggling with depression hence my absence, even struggling with answering the phone. On a good note, my social worker has reassessed my care needs and I'm...

Hello. Gosh what a week I've had. Long long story but mum has gone back to her abusive twisted husband and it's not going down well. On top of that I had another medical miles away Thursday and had a bad day with pain through the roof and serious feeling sorry for myself. Yesterday we had...

Wooohooo that is awesome well done!!!! Xxx

Hi Fran! Glad the Dr has taken it seriously. The peakflow should be 480-530 for your age and sex, weight doesn't affect it by much. So that will be why she didn't do more than one, when mine is as low as yours was they start talking steroids and I'm older than you :( boohoo. The inhalers may be...

Hi! Your progress at work really impresses me! You are doing amazing and it must be so disheartening to not get the full support you clearly deserve. Cars are a nightmare they are so costly! I have had 4 New cars over the years from 2 Mercedes to a skoda and the skoda was by far the best!!! It...

Completely get what you're saying. I get frustrated as I often can't explain my condition properly and if I can't explain they're not going to understand, but I get touchy too especially over the depression which makes me feel weak and I hate feeling weak and can't control the bad days which...

That's awesome on the exercise front, keep that going even if once or twice a week and it will make you feel loads better very quickly, especially with the walking too!! Zappacat the roulade is 4 eggs separated into whites and yolks, whisk whites into meringue type consistency and in a separate...

Grrr to those scales however it could be water and red days are great at chasing that away fingers crossed. Food sounded good, so glad you had a great time, this tiredness sounds dreadful, good luck with the drs I hope they take it all seriously. Xx

What a s®©t day!!! I don't know what else anyone can say!!! Good body magic though and I did laugh at the timing of dinner thanks to the plumber! Not a happy laugh more a oh my God what Time? Laugh. Well done on turning it into a fast day, it is all too easy to walk into the chippy especially...

Cheekychinchilla that's how I answer when I'm up to my eyes in pain and depression and I don't want to moan for fear of sympathy lol...... I may grill you later!! But just so you know I'm err yeah you know apart from the obvious I'm ok. ;-) Bum broken down since Saturday not even false starts...

That would be great! Well I'm considering working hard to do it, my only worry is how I could cope with the condition pain and extreme fatigue, this weekend all I've really done is sleep. Hope you get a good rest tonight xx

Hi Fran hope your weekend has been a great one and you and nate are both all ok xxx

Love the photos you have already started to look really good! You're lucky to be very pretty too and not carry much on your face my face gets chubby so easily. We've had a weekend at home and I've pretty much dozed both days which feels such a waste but I'm so tired. xxx

Always happy to share the support I get, it's a great group and the consultant is what makes it so good. If you go it alone you probably don't get the lifesaving recipes that literally keep me on the straight and narrow. My lifesaving one is 1/2 syn roulade a huge Swiss roll type thing filled...

Good to see you had a great time! I hope to get to crufts next year, have missed it the last 3 years and would love to get merlyn qualified to go for either fly ball or agility, you don't see many wheelchair handlers do you? Massive congratulations on all that hard work!! Take a breath and...

I'm not alone then! Hubby is moaning like an old ship about it too! Men!!! Xx

Good evening how are you and nate? Have you managed to feel any better at all tonight? I think you're now having a few days off to celebrate little man's birthday!? It's my carers little boys 2nd birthday on Sunday, do you think it would be appropriate for me to get him a little something...

Thanks Fran I'm just catching up how are you feeling? Am popping over to your thread, still awaiting the big bang..... So far one false start and lots of evil non laughing gas! Xx

Thanks!! How was work today? How was your day generally? Xx

I did much better this week 2.5 off making me 2 away from my stone. I ate loads this last week too. I'm still constipated and now on Pico sulphate and doubled the dose last night still no joy! It's driving me mad. Xx

Hi Kelly hope you're having a great day. Xx

So far today last night's double dosage of Pico sulphate has done nothing, getting a tad worried now. Food wise so far B rice pudding banana and cinnamon with hea milky coffee. L satsuma grapes. Blueberries and a banana with cinnamon and last of rice pudding. Had hair cut again left side is...

Found you sent you th message and request I'm going to try sleep now, or at least shut my eyes. Goodnight xx

Took 21/2 years to be diagnosed, until then it was a damaged nerve, sadly it was the insurance treating me and the delay followed by them injecting steroids into where it was they made it spread further and quicker than normal. Xx

Evening all! So 2.5 off not bad so lost the 1/2 I gained last week plus 2 so pleased that's 12lb in 5 weeks, I hope next week sees my stone fingers crossed. Hands and legs killing me tonight so won't be on long. Today's food B banana and orange. L was a salad bar box with lots of fresh...

I can't see which one on fb you are? What is your profile picture like?

I shall come find you on fb. I hope you have a great time at crufts. I read all the posts CRPS has some very similar symptoms to fibromyalgia ME/cfs and now thanks to my drugs I have a whole host of other symptoms on top of my severe pain swellings spasms memory loss crazy tiredness fatigue just...

Oh anju wtf is wrong with them scales, try not to be disheartened it could be they need calibration again as sw consultants do move them around and they do need redoing every so often, fingers crossed it's a blip and next Wednesday gives you the results you deserve. FRAN I am sending huge...

I've done it, ended up buying the 2 in 1 as I would never pay the £280+ and hubby said to get it and he will give me the money to buy it, although we share our money so it's all the same really but if he suggested buying it to help me then I don't feel guilty. Daft or what. Anyway should be here...

Totally get the hidden illness issue, mine is mostly hidden unless you know me as I too refuse to appear weak, crazy as it really doesn't help my condition to try and be brave/stubborn, but I can't be any different. In the beginning I conned my self I would beat the condition, all that really...

Fran tefal are giving slimming world members £100 off this week, can you suggest which model to choose please? Xx

Blimy you've not eaten much last few days, perhaps the change in routine and excitement of new job is to blame. However good on you for not going off plan as its easier to do than focus on both at same time! Good luck with weigh in tomorrow. Also hope you have a great day tomorrow too. Xx

He sounds adorable Fran, your parenting style is very similar to mine, I used to get criticised by my Dragon mother in law for being too strict, however my kids do understand the rights from wrong and even my autistic son is well behaved which isn't always easy but they know my rules and I'm...

Gosh what a nightmare on emergency shift you had!! As for police normally they use a police vet on site, has that changed or was this a special case? Was it a pit bull type again? I just want to give you the biggest hug as you have had so much to go through this week, food day was good, I've...

Crazy dog update we are convinced it's a pit bull having looked into it more considering its a young dog it's not all Muscley but head and markings are right, not quite sure what to do yet. Today s food B was a orange and activia. L was a Apple and orange and a noodle snack thing. D was 2...

Fab weight loss and yay to starting work and wooohooo to those trousers!! What a great week, and nearly weigh in day again!! You're on a roll this week!!!! Xx

Holy moly cheekychinchilla what a week! No wonder you're tired! I'm so sorry they gave you your diagnosis via letter that's heartless, whilst it helps in some ways to have a label, it's a hard thing to face head on because like my condition people can't see it therefore they don't understand...

Am just about to visit your thread, but feel free anytime to clog up my thread as I really don't mind. The trainer was trying to take the dogs lead as it was his first time doing recalling and the owner needed to be 10 paces away, the dog doubled back and literally hung off his arm like a...

Fran you really made me laugh! I had Jehovah's witnesses come round to see me today and there I was with big fluffy pjs that's crotch has split, covered in dog hair as my carer had helped me groom the dog, and I stank as when I'm in high pain flare my body goes into over drive. We had planned...

My attempt at world domination was thwarted. The pharmacy didn't have any in stock!! So now after having to shout across the drs busy car park, it's too urgent .After two weeks I really need a poo before weigh in day, every one looked from the pharmacy lady who came out to check if I could wait...

A national health warning is released, incase you didn't watch the lunchtime news, I thought I would warn you I have got to collect the anti war head medication at 3 and am not afraid to use it later, :-) How are you?? I shall try catch up with everyone later, been a very sleepy weekend, then...

Hi all, bum still not completely fixed, but has made a small effort last night and this morning. Let's hope it carries on. Gp says it's the morphine switching my bowel off and once he's checked with the pain clinic it's ok then he's going to prescribe me sodium picosulphate , it will be like a...

Hi! Sounds like you've had a good few days! 10-12 hour nights I can sympathise I have spent Friday 8pm onwards in bed sleeping and dozing and still utterly shattered and still in bed, I think it's from having such a crap week and a bad few high level pain weeks has caught up with me. A good...

Me too :-) xxx

Hi ladies! Sorry I've been swollen, what a week, Wednesday morning weigh in saw a 1/2lb gain which will be the constipation, still no movement. Wednesday after slimming was the big trip up north past Manchester to return home late that night having eaten 7 krispy kreme donuts, and nothing else...

Evening!!! Fran, well done on the loss, and the poop, I am utterly jealous on both counts,I'm moving into day 10 of needing dynorod!!! God help the geriatrics clinic I'm going to tomorrow, knowing my luck I will be not only the youngest by 50 years, but the one with incontinence too and they'll...

You may be lucky night before sometimes used to be fine for me. crossing my fingers for you catch you on the other side of Wednesday's weigh in. Xx

Hello everyone! How are you tonight? I've completely lost my train of thought, cheekychinchilla you're doing great with the work you've done, you have such a lot on your plate you do need to recognise what your achieving at home,work and coursework wise takes a lot of effort in many ways, when...

Hi Katie looks like we are all in the smelly bloated and constipation corner, my husband has told me if I fart like that near him again he's sleeping on the sofa, it's pretty evil I admit, but what can one do when your bod forgets how to poo?? I've got a condition called CRPS it's as a result...

Hi all. Yep hormones are hell and still no rocket just a very small false start!!! Loving the curtains! Your making me think about getting my carer to help me, my creative juices are over flowing, wish that would flush a few things out!!! Yahoo on the weight loss anju!!! Be thinking of...

Thanks cheekychinchilla! Yep morphine is awful stuff, I take 2 types a slow release capsule twice a day plus a liquid every 4 hours when required. I also have 3 types of nerve drugs every 6 hours, a lethal concoction that is slowly damaging my liver and kidney function. Today has been a better...

I'm not surprised you had such a lay in your body must have needed it. Hope the home work went well. Have you got a better day tomorrow? X

Good afternoon! I've taken 2 lots of laxatives,still no joy. This morning I wasn't hungry so had tangerine and a activia 0% actually hungry so thinking what to eat, dog training tonight so don't tend to eat much. Off to stalk the fridge with hubby to help open the packets, hmm hope you're...

Good evening! Cheekychinchilla I gain just like that too! Last time I lost all my weight if I went away 7-10lbs gain wasn't unusual. I've been blocked up all week,, so despite being 100% on plan I expect a gain this week unless I have luck and the laxatives finally work, no such luck so far and...

Hi hope you're ok!! Xx

Evening all! Fran I'm jealous of the massive poop! I've not been since Tuesday even with flipping scan bran and laxatives, I feel bloated a nd bet I've gained as a result. You did make me laugh ladies!! Hubby had to wash our hall walls this week, I'm not lying my cats found and delivered 9...

Hi mrstore welcome along thanks for subscription. I'm feeling very sleepy today slept all afternoon so I'm hoping the pain flare is on the way out fingers crossed. So today I had magic pancakes (hxb) raspberries and banana for breakfast, the mixture had been soaking in the fridge since...

No real plans except brother in law coming up for Sunday dinner as it's his birthday, hubby cooks, and we bought a jumbo jaffa cake so I don't feel bad not eating any, I'm not that bothered by it. Stayed in pjs on the sofa as my CRPS is in flare so I'm in agony covered in anasetic patches dosed...

That burger sounds lovely! I have driven since nearly 20 years ago, up until now I never gave public transport a thought, living in our small village with 1 tiny corner shop that only opens when they bother up until now it never bothered me, but my God it's a nightmare, even running out of milk...

I love listening to yours and nates time together,reminds me of mine when they were young, you treat him the same as I did mine, they're such interesting people to be with now, whereas most 14/15 and 12/13yr olds are grumpy and cut off from mum and dad, ours do everything with us and we still...

Hope you're ok today cheekychinchilla xx

Diet day is good again but I'm in a real pickle, thank God my kindle voice writes, my hands are huge and red with fluid it feels like I've put them through a old style washing mangle, and my legs ankles and feet are just as bad, so can't cheat or eat anything spectacular as the high doses of...

Good start so far today. B orange banana and milky coffee (hea) L. Veg stir fry with 2 veg bags and some egg noodles and a bit of Turkey and 1.5 syn of sauce. WW yogurt.

That did make me smile! Hope you and nate had a great day bargain hunting, giving me the urge to go charity shop shopping. Out of interest have you tried the new weight watchers desert yogurts? They are free and amazing :) xx

Wow I don't think I'd have been so good. Any weekend plans? Xx

Oh Fran I hope you enjoy a good sleep tonight and feel refreshed in the morning. Feeling off colour even slightly wears you down, it's not like you don't eat healthy, Damon bodies never do as they're told!! I hope you have a great day out tomorrow, I'm envious as I know you'll be charity...

Make that 2 packs of snack a Jack totalling a 13 syn day. Xx

Hi! Sorry to hear your week is such a struggle physically and mentally, I can relate completely unfortunately. I can honestly say there's not a part of me not hurting this week, and when you were describing your depression it was like it was me talking, how on earth you're managing to get to...

Hiya! I'm still struggling the pain is making everything so hard, and the morphine is killing my appetite. Today I had B banana and a orange. L 5scan bran heb with 2 laughing cow lights. 3syn a Apple and pear Snack weight watchers yogurt and a banana D 2 weight watchers yogurt with grapes and...

Yay well done on your loss!!!! Do what I did last week I was 30 over so I deducted 5 off each days allowance and still lost my 3lb. I think it gave my body a boost and my consultant says to use all your syns at once on a sheet so 105 for the week and count down how many are left, that way you...

Gosh I'm knackered reading that, what a busy day, going to slimming world and tescoland killed me and I had to use my wheelchair all day today,my legs are agony, my hands not much better. I'm glad you are referred to a ME clinic. They will have neurologists etc to help, I have no idea on waiting...

Ha ha I think the wine was a bottle a night but even so it's too much and not healthy for her. Lunch was small I guess although I wasn't massively hungry and the baby carrots were really cold my teeth ached. I enjoyed the mug shot pasta thing, but did leave most of the sauce in my cup. I'm...

Hello cheekychinchilla how are you? 3lb off so I'm happy. Carer gained 3 after drinking 4 bottles of wine, and having 2 huge take aways, I hope it's given her a kick up the bum as she's been very complacent with it. It's not helping as her other half is restrictive over meals she cooks and...

What a damn big pile of peaches your consultant is talking. Yes I'm sure a new member may loose on that plan but clearly it's rubbish and I kept thinking where was the super free! Sending a big hug!! My carer gained 3 but having just been shopping with her I wasn't surprised as she clearly is...

That is awful for your son to loose his dog in such a way and no wonder he's dogless currently. As for stealing guinea pigs I really don't understand why anyone would do it. What a vile world sometimes. People's animals are subject to theft all the time,this I just don't get when animal shelters...

Anju I hate people like that it's Damon annoying and frankly uncalled for. My carer text me tonight and has been eating pizza fish and chips and all sorts of carp,she did it last week and lost 2lb but swears this week was worse, if she looses tomorrow I may sack her, it's ok I'm not being two...

Hope the librarian helped you out! Today's diary looking good too. Gets to this time on a Tuesday and I'm impatient for weigh in to be over and to start a new week. I'm so focused on getting this weight off I want to hurry it along. Hope classes were good today at uni too. Good luck for weigh in...

Sending you huge cuddles think you could do with them. I lost Flynn my collie as you know aged 2 last year and I still get upset now nearly 6 months later so know what you mean. I have to say I am not going to put my self through small pets at least for now, I find loosing them so heart...

Good evening. Hope your scales are wrong and are in need of new batteries!! My kitchen scales did that last week and the same things kept weighing completely different to what they should. I may have jumped the gun the other 16 jeans someone I know gave me, they're not going to fit for a while...

Hi yeah I counted the syns and adjusted the rest of my week accordingly. I hope it's sorted it, trouble is I'm not able really to weigh at home so have no idea. Saying that I got into a pair 16 jeans on Friday. They're tight and I have a bit of muffin top but I'm trying. I have also taken your...

Hi! So sorry to read about your chinchilla. Must be something in the air, we lost our last one a rescue 2weeks ago, completely out of the blue. We've had him 9 years and he was a rescue when we got him and his brother. But no idea how old they were or even if they were brothers, Charlie died 5...

Hi Fran! And everyone. Re the scales it could be a/water or b/ not eating enough? Whenever I've read your days food it's reminded me to eat more which has helped me so far. Yeah I realised it was a green day but my consultant recommends only to do EE regardless of if you eat carbs only or meat...

Hi cheekychinchilla! The world of medicine is a crazy game of roulette it seems these days. Find a good Dr and it's like winning the grand national. Hope you enjoyed seeing your friend tonight! Bunnies,oh I miss having them around when the kids were little. They weren't that interested but it...

Hi Fran! How was today? Thanks we're both pleased and I'm planning on a good week. So far I'm loving the meetings. Funily enough mine has mostly batty ladies but they're all near or at target and have lots of info. We're supposed to focus on scanbran,quark and quiche this week. So far I'm doing...

Whoot 3lb loss is just great!!! Huge hugs. I know you realise it was good but you can't change how your body responds and also if is also not a gain. You'll move down fingers crossed for next week xxx

Hi Fran. Well done another great loss for you!! You'll be sailing past that 6milestone very soon! I completely agree fruit and a yogurt in the morning isn't enough and even if I eat a good lunch by 3-6pm I am starving and then I'm too full be tea. It's a vicious circle then. Yes long term...

Hiya cheekychinchilla how was your day today? Yep it does suck when your physical body will not do what your mind thinks it can. It's a terrible condition ME. To be honest it's hard for anyone to adjust at any age with neurological or autoimmune type conditions. They strike random people it...

Awesome news that you got some good praise at work today! Everyone needs to be appreciated and the sense of pride afterwards makes the struggle worthwhile doesn't it! Sounds like a much better day for you which is great to hear about. Weighing on the dog scales,that is the kinda thing I would...

Sounds like a great food day! Have you planned for tomorrow? I tend to but havnt yet. Xx

Hi Fran. Well done anju100 on your loss!!! Did you do anything different this week that you think helped? Fran 're drs and fat level they don't think I will be able to loose fast as the 3 different nerve drugs I take gabapentin,amitriptyline, and duloxatine are all known to each elevate...

Other dogs I have 1 samoyed who is 11. 3 dalmatians a . Mother 9 a daughter 7 and son 6 like yours they're not getting the exercise they used to as hubby gets tired. They were my lifestyle choices until this accident I did everything for them. But they are better off with us as this is their...

Good evening how was your day? I can honestly say I'm no longer constipated, I think my funny tasting passion fruit for yesterday lunch may well have been off. I now feel very queasy after too many bathroom trips last night and this morning Hubby spent quite sometime in hospital before me...

Gosh you also have a lot on your plate that must be very worrying. My hubby had serious ME 28years ago, it was very sudden and literally landed him bed bound for 2 years. It's taken a lot of effort to fight back and he still gets very tired easily. Caring for family can be hard too, I cared for...

Thanks Fran I shall give it another go with Celina (she's my main carer 26 hours) she's about 13 years younger than I but we get on great. And she's good at her job. 22 years is a long time but for the first 6 years we didn't live together, I was fiercely independent bought my own house as soon...

Hi Fran! My kids are 14 &12 my 12 year old is autistic and has the mental age of about 6/7 year old. Hubby was against the dieting the day before I joined. He hates change, but the last 4 years have been rough on the whole family and he's constantly worrying that I'm going to keep getting...

I have a collie (merlyn). He is only 8 months later this week, and bought by my mum last year when my 2 year old was dying of cancer. I wasn't sure I was able to look after another but she and hubby knew how much my 2 year meant to me. He was such a help and when I lost him it was devastating...

That was a good saviour at kfc I would never had thought of that. It's really disappointing when you see a film that you don't enjoy. I dread the cinema as my boys all go crazy for hot popcorn and chocolates from the American candy store nearby. I am going to try avoid it as much as possible and...

Good evening! Sounds like you've had a good day compared to yesterday which is great to hear! Day time tv soon gets boring no wonder you're heading back to work tomorrow. Yeah I'm really lucky to have found such a great carer, believe me some I had sent from the agency were ridiculous! One...

Cheers guys! Had a busy day with my carer including dog training classes for my pup. Eating wise I've felt like I couldn't face much,10 days constipation to blame!!! So today ..... B- 1/2 hea milky coffee. Muller light and some frozen forest fruits left in fridge overnight with bit of quark...

Found how to do diary so now started :-)

So then, after losing 8st many years ago, I find my self back in the starting block. 4 years after a accident which has given me chronic pain,nerve damage,neurological issues, I now spend 90% of my days Sat or in my wheelchair. Coupled with depression and struggling to use my hands arms or legs...

Nate is such a lovely little boy,clearly a reflection on your great parenting. I was just reading this weeks mag, the 7 day plan is quite varied, may give it a go myself depending on Wednesday's result. I have dreadful constipation, sw always does this to me. My carer joined with me and did...

Hi thanks!! no diary but trying to get used to posting on here with my kindle,how do you start a diary? Funny I keep thinking I'm eating less already. Tea tonight consisted of a few baby carrots and magic ice cream. Was absolutely stuffed. Trying to work out if frozen fruits are cheaper this...

It takes effort when ill to stay on plan well done!!! Glad to hear you're taking the day off as hopefully it will take less time to recover. Fingers crossed you wake up to find you're through the worst of it. Xxx

Hope you will wake up well again and it's cleared itself Fran. I find the sw mags inspiring but all menus and articles helpful too. Would be interested to find the article you mentioned too. Hope the morning brings a happy nate and a healthy you. X

Hi here to keep up with you. As you can see just joined. After losing 8st years ago I have gained back all but 10lbs of it after a life changing event which has me now off my feet and struggling with using all 4 limbs. Well done on your loss so far. I had first weigh this week and lost 2.5 I was...

Hi Fran (and all you ladies following.) After rejoining sw last week and reading every page (in a non stalker way honest) I decided to jump in and join you all. Got to sort my profile but today have 7st 7lb to loose. Wednesday's weigh day lost 2.5 after a really big push and reading your...
