    to tell or not to tell

    Hiya, I can totally relate. I used to go out with a friend who was way skinnier than me, we used to go to cafes for coffee and she would always say let’s go halves in a cake. Then she would have one fork full and say she was full and not eat any more so of course me, being the hoover that I am...

    Just had to voice this because I found it unbelievable…. :giggle: Was sitting on the bus yesterday to go home, sat by the window at the back on the bus and was listening to music looking out the window. Suddenly, the smell of KFC filled all my senses, looked next to me, and the girl sitting...

    Hello Ladies, Just came back from my weigh in, and by some miracle, I have lost 2.87lbs this week. As I said I haven't been a total saint so am quite surprised :eek:, and also very, very happy as this is the lowest weight I have been on this diet so I am finally back on track. Yay...

    Hello Lovely Ladies, How are you all today? I'm doing okay, made it through my first day yesterday of 100% SS, that is the first time that has happened, usually I find myself picking at protein in the evening but last night found that when I stopped and thought about it I wasn't actually...

    Hello Joz, How are you? I hope that you got through the weekend okay. I was having a tough day yesterday as well, there is something about the rain outside that makes me want to snuggle up with unhealthy food. Also not helpful was the smell of pancakes that was running throughout my building...

    My Intro

    Good luck with your weight loss. You should be proud of yourself already because you made the choice to better yourself rather than to slip back in to old habits and that is a hard choice to make because it is much easier to stay home and feel sorry for ourselves rather than take that hard road...

    'Best friend gone'!

    Can totally relate, except for me, chocolate was the friend. I've never really liked alcohol of any sort, not sure if that is a good or bad thing as I think I would rather drink a glass of wine than eat a few bars of chocolate! Oh well, here's saying goodbye to all those frenemy's and hello...

    sorry about this boys! help please girlies!

    Rhuba is right, I went to get weighed yesterday and I know I should have lost at least 2lbs but have only lost 1lbs as it is TOTM, trust it to come two days before my weigh in. On a good note though, hopefully next week when I have my next weigh in I will be jumping up and down for joy at...

    I'm not sure why but I just want to stuff my face right now :copon:. I've been doing okay recently so not sure why I feel this way.

    Oh yeah, my timeslot is from 4 - 7pm, I leave work at 5pm so it is so hard not to duck in to a shop to buy lots of bad things. I call this time my "hangtime", I'm kind of not sure where I am during these moments. Reena am just writing you an email.

    Hello Reena & Joz, Hope you are both doing well today.:bliss: Reena, was speaking to my CDC today and she told me she had her gall bladder removed as well, which is what first got her on to the CD and healthy eating. It really makes a difference, even with my migraines, I found cutting out...

    feel like I've got so far to go...

    I totally agree. I am a CD Returner and the first time around I went week by week, now, I go day by day, sometimes even hour by hour if things get hard. You just need to find something that is important to you that will keep you going, whether it is being able to wear a bikini in the summer...

    I lost one dress size in three weeks as well, and that was doing two weeks on SS and one week on SS+. I have 9 weeks till my bridal fitting and have another two dress sizes to go lose if I want to fit in to the dress I bought, otherwise they are going to have to panel me up like an old house...

    herbal teas

    I drink Green Tea with Ginkgo Bilboba - it is the Double Dragon brand, you can get it from the health shop. I really love the taste, and it really does kill the hunger pangs I get. I think it might be an acquired taste though as I tried to give some to my partner who is doing the CD with me...

    Enjoy your planning!

    Awwww, that is a really nice thing to say and I think you are totally right :) I went to try on wedding dresses on Saturday and it was the first time that I actually felt like I was getting married. Seeing myself in a dress, veil and with a tiara, it was the moment it all dawned on me. Up until...

    Contraceptive implant and Slimming World

    Hello Jodidi, I have implanon, I have had it for over a year now and I don't think it has made much difference to my weight loss. I put on weight when I was on the oral pill, I stopped taking it and switched to implanon because it is progestin only, it helps slightly with my migraines, which I...

    First Day Back - Feeling Positive!

    Am doing okay so far - how about you? When I am at work it's not so bad, but as soon as it hits 5pm and it is time to go home that is the hardest part for me, the 5 - 6pm window. All those shops on the way to the tube station!!!!
