    6 weeks in, pound and a half on!!

    I go to a meeting who basically assumes that I'm not logging or weighing stuff. I'm on 28 points a day. I must be eating enough. The more weeklies i have, the more weight I put on. I'm on the verge of either VLCD or giving up!

    Think this may be the way to go for me. I only want to lose around a stone. I think cutting out all carbs for a while is the way forward. What do you ahve for breakfast. Where do you get the shakes?

    Exercise has never made any difference to my weight either way. You are right. It has mae me feel loads better, has helped me to stick to a diet, and has helped me tone, but does nothing to the scales. I ahve only just got back in to the kind of running I'm doing properly the last 4 or 5...

    Why do i do it!!!!!!!!

    It's hard isn't it, but I bet a bite of pizza is a point. Maybe make yourself point every extra bite at 2 points will stop you eating it.

    I don't know what else I can do!!

    I know. I'd be well happy with a lb a week. I've lost 1.5lbs in the last 4 weeks. Since xmas that's 4.5lbs in 5 weeks. So maybe I shouldn't be so fed up. But you do always expect a big loss after xmas don't you?

    I don't know what else I can do!!

    Also, I really don't want to eat rubbish. I'm eating around 3 to 4 piees of fruit a day, that would be another 2 points old style. And loads of veg. Could try eating more meat and cheese

    I don't know what else I can do!!

    I could do. I'm just terrified to. If I go another week with losing nothing I really will be so so upset. I've never heard of anyone starving themselves fat!! But I anything is worth a go. Thanks

    Anyone else not like meat?

    Sorry, I love meat, and can't understand it either. I would quite happily suck the marrow from the bone. My daughter, however, is 10, and has refused to eat meat since she was 4 years old. She says she just hates the taste. She won't eat quorn. Says what's the point in that, it tastes like...

    Stay at home mums - your routine

    Yeah I reckon. I wonder if a really active morning, fresh air, running around, or swimming, then an hour nap at lunch, then bed for around 7. Then Mum puts feet up, with a cup of hot chocolate and a kit kat while watching the soaps, before a hot bubble bath and bed sounds good. You may feel...

    Is it me being selfish & unreasonable...long rant be warned

    My hubbie worked away when the kids were this age. Exactly 2 years apart they are, and he worked away from Monday, coming back on Saturday lunchtime usually. It's hard doing it all yourself, though I really had no choice. What I resented is that he felt, and told me, that Sunday was his day...

    Isn't it the other way round? Shrimps are tiny little things. Prawns are much bigger.

    depo jag/TOTM gain (sorry if it's TMI)...

    I an only talk about my own experiences, but it took well over a year for periods to return and was probably nearer 18 months before they were anything like back to normal. That obviously doesn't mean I wasn't fertile before then. I know that there are forums where some women ahve had dreadful...

    My nurse told me, after I'd been on it a while that it won't make you gain weight in itself, but can make it impossible tom lose, even when cutting the cals properly. This of course meant, and was exactly what happened, I would stay th same for weeks, go away, ahve a good weekend and put on a...

    i so want to get married!!

    It's valentines soon. Ask him. Bring it up. If you are that close, and it's something you really want then bring it out in the open and discuss, even if you don't make a grand gesture of asking. It does seem very soon to me though.
