Oh Broxi I've just seen your post. Please don't give up, I'm sure things will turn around again with your losses as you've been so strong and without people like you supporting rest of us things would be harder for us all. Have you spoken to your CD counsellor? A worried Sue xx

Hi everyone - hope your all ok and looking forward to your holidays. I was thinking of going away at end of July but might put it back till October as I know I'll find it too hard to stick at it while away. I've had a great week so far (apart from headaches and light headiness early this...

Hiya - well 2nd day nearly over and I'm starving and had to keep nipping loo all day at work. going to have an early night so I don't get tempted to run shop for food. Hardest for me will be wednesday as I've been sent on an away day and they are supplying lunch for everyone - I don't know if I...

I'm a 42 J and have found lovely bra's with shapelyfigures which you can buy from online. they also have a catalogue. they actually go to a K cup and have an excellent choice for all

Whatever the reasons for us all putting on weight - the main thing is that we all want to lose now and take control of our bodies so for that reason we should all try and stay positive and think of our new slim future and the support we can all give each other xx
