    help me!

    Hi Fern You can buy proper doggie knickers called 'hygiene pants' from the pet shop. They look like a back to front thong with a pocket for the pad. I buy Sainsbury's value panty liners and cut them in half and use them instead of the expensive 'hygiene pads' . I have a staffy (you know...

    Neris and India's Idiot-Proof Diet: Pig to Twig!

    Hi All I used to do Celebrity Slim, but I gave up on that. I'm now on Day 5 of IPD and feeling fine and full of energy. I had a slight headache on Day 3. The evening of Day 1, I was really tired, but I think that was down to not taking any supplements. I learnt my lesson very quickly and...

    Advice for a newbie pls

    I always have my shakes hot and I use the CS shaker. I'll give you a joke now. Two week's ago I used boiling water instead of hot. I was in the kitchen, with my hand on the lid shaking it up. For some reason I decided to take my hand off the lid, the pressure inside the shaker must have been...

    Iv been a very naughty girl...

    It would appear that I am in good company as I've also been extremely naughty! Weigh-in on 13.3.09 was TOTM so my weight remained the same. I was holiday from work last week so the weigh-in on 20.3.09 didn't happen as I had been stuffing my face all week. I had bread, potatoes, rice...

    1st week weigh-in

    Hi All I went to Rowland's Pharmacy for my 1st weigh-in yesterday (after work). The CS person wasn't there (she's only there in the mornings), so I was weighed by the pharmacist. Anyway, I managed to lose 3 lbs. I've now changed my weigh-in time to Saturday morning. I was surprised to lose...

    Started CS at last!!!

    I finally started CS on Friday 13th. I quite like the shakes, especially the caramel and banana flavours. The only downside so far, is that I feel cold (I'm wearing a thermal vest, fleece jacket, jogging bottoms and the central heating is on). I suppose the coldness is to do with the reduction...

    Disappointed

    I should have started CS today and was really looking forward to it, but instead I have a stinking cold, a chest infection and no voice (my family love the silence). Now I'll have to wait until I'm fully recovered. :cry::cry::cry:
