Congrats on losing your 2 stone. I haven't got a success story (yet) but I'm hopeful. Good luck

I started yesterday but I'm using Avidlite after seeing all the posts on it and it is soooo much cheaper. I bought shakes and soup but I have to say I think the soups are absolutely horrible I think I'll be sticking with the shakes I've tried all those diets in the past, sometimes loosing...

Thank you all for your kind words and support you have all made me feel really welcome x

Hi! Good luck. I've got about three stone to loose as well and I just haven't been very well behaved on WW:break_diet:. It does work though. I'm only doing it at home because like you I can't manage the meetings but I am looking forward to the support of everone on this forum.

Thank you for your replies. Feeling quite positive today. Looking forward to staying on track and WI on Sunday.

Can I join a team too please when a space becomes available. Vicky

Hi Everyone, I've been a member on here for a few months now but tbh totally fell off the wagon and stopped coming on at all. I tried to use Paul McKenna's brain re-training but it didn't work so I am going back to my roots and WW which I know works. About 4 years ago I lost 2 stone in...

Hi ladies, well I saw two nurses and a doctor last night. The pregnancy test was negative and the nurses general consensus was that I sould make an appointment with my GP and have them take some blood, her thoughts were that I might be in the minority of women that do not produce the hormone in...

Well done Lind good for you. My mum has stopped smoking she has got herself one of those Nicorette Inhilators she is doing well at the moment, as I said before she says there is nothing like facing your own mortality to make you not want the cigarettes. She is also enjoying have a bit of extra...

Hi Jim, Just to let you know my mum was discharged from hospital last week and she is feeling much better, still struggling a little bit with her breathing when she does certain things but it is getting a little easier every day, just keeping you posted thanks for your support. Vicky

Lol I appreciate what your saying Helen I am just a bit frustrated thats all. I know they have to look at every angle, I work for the NHS myself in the contracting so I see the figures of how many people end up with nasties any way. Got my appointment after work, have my little pot of wee...

Thanks Nicky luckily the second nurse took me seriously, she went through my dates and said that maybe if I were pregnant the hormone wasn't showing up becuase it wasn't a full month since ovulation so that's why she wants me to go back on Thursday, I've started getting cramps now though so...

I know, I felt like sticking her Chlamidya test swab up her bum but I didn't think that would help me much lol

Thanks for replying, Im not on a VLCD and nothing has happened that could mess me up at all. I went to the FPC on Saturday as I am between doctors at the moment and it would take me ages to get an appointment so I thought at least if I go there I can see a nurse. I saw two nurses the first...

Hi guys I posted a question a week or so ago asking for some advice as you ladys obviously have experience in the matter and no one answered so I'm am still a bit confused.:cry: Any way I had three days of spotting early-mid jan about a week and a half after my period (sorry if TMI). I was...

Well she has decided that this episode has been way too scary for her to carry on smoking so thats a plus I guess. It is definately the scare I need to stop and hopefully it will be for my sister as well. Thanks for responding to me Jim I really appreciate it. x

I looked up alot on it and that's what frightens me, I'm only 22, my mum is only 48 and I'm not ready to loose her yet. She lives all the way in Manchester and I am in Southend so it's not like I can pop round and visit her every day, luckily my sister lives round the corner from her so she can...

Thanks any way Jim, I'm just so frightened I want to do anything I can to help. Sorry to say the first thing I did when I found out was have a cigarette!

Hi My mum has just been diagnosed (literally this morning) with COPD and she obviously really really needs to quit smoking if she wants any chance at prolonging her life. Has anyone tried those new electronic cigarettes that are available now becuase she is a 40+ a day smoker and I don't...

Thanks Melanie that thought did cross my mind I'm going to give that a go from next week, I might just be difficult and leave my sweeteners on the tray with a label on them saying whoever makes tea to put one in mine in place of sugar. (If that avatar is your kitty cat can I steal him please...

I'm still in two minds, I used to have sweetener in my tea a few years ago and had no problems with (I was also single and didn't have a b/f who thought being horrible was an olympic sport but hey ho) I tend to only have sweetener at home for porridge etc I dont keep sugar in the house it mostly...

Thank you DQ don't know what's got into him at the moment but he is not being very nice at all:cry: Never mind must go to my happy place lol x

Ive been struggling a bit this week with my diet tbh. Had a few rows with o/h and although I knew I wasn't physically hungry I couldn't stop eating. I think I need to have another listen to the CD and see if it helps me re-motivate.

Ok don't know if anyone can aswer this but I have been taking the POP cerazette for a year on and off (mainly because I'm not very good at remembering to take it). Any way I had a normal period at the end of December/start of January and started re-taking my cerazette during that period as your...

Thank you, I don't know whether I should switch to sweetener in my tea or not - maybe I should just stick to water then I wouldn't have this problem. Sorry didn't mean to sound like I was nagging for an answer

Doesn't anyone want to talk to me :wave_cry:

I have a little bit of a sweet tooth, not too bad but I would rather have something sweet than savoury. When it comes to tea I like to have 3/4 of a spoon of sugar in it. Now obviously sweetener doesn't have the same amount of calories as sugar but I keep being told that having sweetner in my...

If you need to nibble on sweet things there is a website called "a quarter of" and they sell lots of sugar free sweets which taste exactly the same as the full sugar versions so you wouldn't be doing so much damage if you had them (better for the little ones teeth too!). The have lots of old...

I find that if the nibble fairy comes along a nice long bath with a good book helps get rid of her (I think she is afraid of water!) Hope it helps Vicky x

We are members of the gym together but he works shifts so I tend to go alone which is fine for me. As far as our eating goes I cook very healthy nutritious meals protien and carbs and veg is a typical dinner in our house - I don't fry anything at all becuase mainly I have a mild case of IBS and...

Thanks Lippy! I'll keep you posted xx

Thanks for everybody's support, he did stop trying to feed me take aways for a week or so but then started up with all sorts of other naughty things but my resolve is holding strong. Im starting Pilates next week as well as swiming and Aquafit (which he thinks is pointless!). I'm determined...

Thanks Christie thats really helpful - I didn't have a clue what was involved but I'm not so nervous anymore!

Hi everyone I have decided to start Pilates this week (actually conned into going by extremely skinny friend) and I don't really know anything about it. I would be very greatful for any pearls of wisdom that you might have! Thanks

Your right Ivy I used to work with a woman who did one of his workshops once and he is very arrogant but he does have a point as you say. I've got a friend who is from Slovakia but lived in America for a year and she is really stick thin. She came over for dinner last night and she took very...

Yeah the CD is great inspiration he basically bigs you up and tells you that your wonderful any way lol. I just wonder if it would be any more effective for me if I could actaully by hypnotised rather than trying to listen to what he is saying in each ear lol.

I don't know when it is on again but you can probably watch it on YouTube. I did buy the book/CD as well. To be honest the CD didn't do very much for me but I think I am one of those people who just can't be hypnotised (other people have tried to in the past and I just don't relax enough)...

Thanks everyone I've been annoying everyone one at work im so pleased. Its really simple Saddia, the theory is that you only eat when you are physically hungry (not emotionally hungry or bored) and you eat what you want and not what you think you should have. But you have to eat it slowly...

I have been following Paul McKenna's plan for just over a week now and I thought I would update you all with my progress (if your interested that is!) Well the good news is that I have lost 8lb in my first week - although your not supposed to weigh yourself for two weeks I couldn't stand the...

Thanks Irishmum it had completely slipped my mind to freeze food in advance - I do cook all our food from fresh ingredients any way so thats a perfect way to have an "indoors take away" sort of thing. Ill buy some freezer tubs when I go shopping tonight. The silly thing is when I lived on my...

Thanks lippy! I lost a lot on WW a few years back when I was single but I tried it last year and he was the same - saying all the supportive things and then going and getting take away or sweets from the shop. I'm trying not to take too much notice of him also because I want to do this for...

I started on Paul McKenna's system on Tuesday and am finding it really easy to handle and I am actaully enjoying it. The problem arising is that I have been teling my other half for months and months that I am going to shift the weight and never losing more than a stone before getting back into...

Ahh I see the logic! I don't have any children just one "big kid" and he is trying to shift the weight too so we can't have anything like that in the house :(

How did you manage to have only a thrid of a wispa bar - I can happily eat a third of a box of wispa bars! No surprise I'm here really is it?

Thanks Daisy that was really helpful, I'm going to start with the one day completely on track (today) and think up a few mini goals on the way (I may plagiarise a few of your goals - I hope you don't mind!). xx

Hi Sinead, I have four stone to get rid of and need a diet buddy too. I'm new to this so don't know how to private message you sorry but I can tell you now that the best satisfaction you give yourself from this sad relationship breakdown is that when he sees you looking fantastic and happy...

Hi everyone, I am having trouble setting myself a small goal as my first task to motivate myself. all I can think of is that I want to lose 4 stone like yesterday and I am well aware how daft this is. Has anybody got any suggestions for a few starter goals to get me going. Thanks x

Thank you for all your kind comments I am feeling really positive and the fact that you are all so supportive just inspites me more x

Hi I'm new to this too best of luck x

To be completly honest it was his show last night that inspired me to try and lose weight again. Everything he said made perfect sense - even though I knew it all already it seemed clearer the way he said it so I am going to give it a try and see how it goes.

Thank you x

Hi everyone, I have decided to use the new year to start a fresh with weight removal (I don't like the term weight loss becuase if you lose something you usually find it again). I lost a lot of weight a few years ago with Weight Watchers so I know I can do it but this time I am trying Paul...
