    Freephone number?

    HI, My GP has said that there is a freephone number you can call to get support and info packs from the suppliers of Orlistat. Does anyone know of the number or has anyone used this facility? Many thanks.

    Birmingham Meet April 24th & 25th

    The machine might have been alright, but it i usally a secondary card reader next t it or nearby that takes your details. The most common place for this type of crime to occur is either a fuel forecourt or a reading device attached to a cashpiint. It is not beyond the realms of possibility...

    Birmingham Meet April 24th & 25th

    If anyone else has had theirs cloned, it must be Jury's Inn, in which case, the police should be informed as it might be a staff member.

    RIP JADE

    Jade did not beg for money, she simply earned what she could from the public who are thirsty for celebrity. Celebrity is the new religion and Jade became an icon of that. RIP Jade, thanks for the good times and the bad and hugs to your family, especially your gorgeous boys. xx

    CD - does it shrink the liver?

    I'm not asking if it shrinks the liver for a nefarious reason. I am asking because I am to undergo bariatric surgery soon(ish) and there is a need to shrink the liver beforehand. It will entail some yukky milk/yoghurt only diet for two weeks and rather than that, I'd sooner SS for two weeks as I...

    LL - does it shrink the liver?

    Hi again, I have just re-read this thread and I think you are misunderstanding the motive for my question! I am not asking if it shrinks the liver for a nefarious reason. I am asking because I am to undergo bariatric surgery soon(ish) and there is a need to shrink the liver beforehand. It...

    LL - does it shrink the liver?

    Here is the last post I put up on the CD thread: Have just done a google and found this here: VLCD results in significant related reductions in liver size and liver fat content. This suggests that the reduction in liver volume is due to loss of fat. The reduction in liver fat and volume...

    CD - does it shrink the liver?

    Because there is very little intake of carbs. Nothing more than the RDI.

    extreme slimmers

    Absolutely spot on, Tracy. I had to have both my children by C section (under general anaesthetic) due to pre-eclampsia and they were both big babies. I was sick to death of the *****y comments such as 'O, you didn't have her properly then', 'It was OK for you, you didn't have the pain of...

    extreme slimmers

    I prefer to say 'Last Chance Saloon' than desperate! It is not a magic wand; it is a physical tool to help get the weight off. One still has to get the brain to engage and fight the food issue. The mere mortals who opt for WLS have run the gamut of weight loss options. Speaking personally, I...

    LL newspaper article

    I'm surprised anyone reads the 'Daily Hate' to be honest... It's all over the press now and yes, they are slating LL. In another red-top tabloid they've even rolled out Coleen Nolan who followed it for a while to slate it. Whilst my condolences obviously go to the lady's family, to drink 8...

    X Factor

    Bang on the money. I am sure she is a lovely lass, but every time she opens her mouth and sings, I just want to put my foot through the TV. The yodelling, the claw hand and will someone please brush her hair! I loved the Cranberries and the attitude of Dolores O'Riordan, but Diana just does...

    X Factor

    Yeay! U rock, gf! :clap::clap::clap: She's a Dolores from the Cranberries but without the attitude. I am sick of the same old same old and the dreaded 'claw'. Twinky tweaky yodeller. And I think she had convenient laryngitis Mariah Carey week because she knew darned well she wouldn't have...

    X Factor

    Maybe too much emotion tonight, but she has a far better voice and stage presence than Diane. Ruth reminded me a lot of the great Elkie Brookes.

    Sheesh! How many millions did Simon Cowell part with to have Britney lipsync? TG for Rhydian, Leona, Take That & Will Young. And FPS, when will the Yodelling Bimbo be voted off???!!!

    Calling Icemoose!

    Hellooo... Can you please give me a link to your blog? My hard drive crashed and I lost it and my CDC wants to have a look (cos I raved on about it and he said he had heard of you but not seen the blog). You are the talk of the VLCD world my friend! :D Thank you. Angela

    Recipes for foodpack, Muffin,crisps,fudge cake!

    Hi Emz, Yes!Yes! Yes! That's exactly what these recipes are for. Go for it! Though i wouldnot recommend you 'cook' all your foodpacks. Ketostis can be bought from Lloyds chemist (or any decent chemist I should imagine. Also your CD counsellor (if you are on CD).

    Hi, I am a returner to SS, having lost 7 stone with LL last year and now with CD. These recipes are a godsend! Just had my first week back on SS and have lost 13.75lbs. Did Diva's crisps and the mousse this week. Thank goodness for culinary ingenuity. Icemoose! Nice to see you still...
