Ooohhh I don't think I would take another tablet cos it's like doubling the dose ... I think I would just chalk it down to experience and make sure I didn't forget again! (I have to have a note on the fridge .. brekkie, lunch, dinner ... then I tick off when I have taken my tablet!! I'd forget...

Hey there *S* I used to drink at least 2 large bottles of dc a day and then cans here and there also ... I stopped drinking it but, just a heads up .. if you stop drinking it straightaway you might get a week or so of violent headaches ... stomach ache too ... but if you do, don't worry ...

Well darn it and blast it ... !!! I have JUST this last week thrown away two bottles of that Sally Hansen nail strengthener .. I am a soenso for freebies and get all manner of things. This one was advertised as nail strengthener (but no brand name) so I didn't expect it to be owt or nowt but I...

Morning! Oh wow, those nails sound faaaaabulous! A girl in my local bank has a different pattern on each nail but I reckon they look much better all the same! How long do they last? As I say, I've always quite fancied some! When I was younger my nails grew like wildfire and I would always...

Ha ha ha ... see, birds of a feather and all that!! *LOL* .... OOohhh so you took a sneaky peek then and got weighed already? *L* it's soooo hard not to isn't it? I am going to try hold out and make Monday my day .. I hate the day anyway, so may as well have a good reason to!!! Next week...

Ha ha .. no, but I can always practice one! I have very long dark hair too, so fit the bill!!! *L* A friend of mine in the USA has a front porch with a rocking chair on it and last Halloween she got dressed up in bandages (to be a Mummy) she sat on the rocking chair absolutely stock still not...

Lovely lovely photos! ... wishing you both love, luck and happiness in the years ahead ... *S*

A brilliant start, then! Wishing you all the best! You've definitely started as you mean to go on!!

Hiyah! My day's not been too bad thanks! I have discovered Snackajack crisps in caramel flavour ... omg, I am SO in heaven! *LOL* Also had to put my rings on different fingers cos two of em kept flying off so I think I might be losing a bit of "bulk" ... she says, hopefully!! Hey I would make...

Morning first friend!! *L* Ha ha ... I am like you .. I'm on those scales every morning .. I just can't help myself! I usually have a night shirt on (no slippers - well they weigh heavy do slippers *L*) ... but I even take my glasses off ... saddo that I am! The good news is that today I have...

Hi Katie! ... thanks for the request btw! ... didn't know what it was at first! *L* I totally believe you ... honest injuns! .. I have read so many posts on here where folks have been good and then have put some weight on .. weird isn't it? There must be a "Scales Imp" who sits and watches us...

Hey ladies! Katie ... thanks for the brekkie ideas! Shopping day tomorrow so I think those turkey rashers are calling me *L* .. and the dairy lea light too! Exercise is usually a no no for me .. I've got fibromyalgia (pain in all the muscles) and arthritis from a car accident back in '93 so if...

*L* well just to be different ... Aunt Flo visited me two days early since starting the tabs! Never been known before to be early!!

Awww thanks!! *S* .. am feeling pretty self righteous ha ha ha ... would feel even more so if those damn scales would budge!

Ah, too much thinking is a bad thing at any time ... *L* ... for me, anyway! I'm lucky with fish .. I HATE the stuff! I can't eat it, touch it or even walk through a fish market ... *shudders* I musta been a cod in a past life!! *LOL*

Girl power, eh?! Faaaaaabulou stuff, keep it up!!

Hey Katie ... thanks for replying!! I am 13st 7lbs but I am into a size 20 ... oh I would love to be a size 16 .. even if it was tight (which it probably would me for me!!) I could have cried when I saw the fat grams in those nuts! I love cashews and had set myself up to have some every...

I'm struggling to get to 8 or 9 per meal!! ... although I was doing a lot less but the recommendation is to up it a bit as long as you don't go over the 15g *S*

Brilliant stuff!! Keep up the good work! You must be so proud of yourself, that's a real achievement!

Hi folks ... *S* Well I have been to town .. thinking that I would get some nuts to boost up my fat intake after reading on here that some people do it ... but I am more confused than ever now! If we are supposed to be sticking to the 5g of fat or less per 100g, then there is no way people...

OOooohhhhh Vanda .... my mouth is watering! What brand/make of popcorn was it that you tried? I'd just have to close my eyes and imagine it was dripping in butterscotch sauce!! I'm just like you ... I can eat and eat and carry on some more (probably why I feel more comfortable with microwave...

Thanks for that! Well I managed 6.8 for breakfast this morning (which, when you think I have been doing 1.8 and usually no more than 2 is not bad going!) ... I shall try and vary lunch though ... surprised to find Heinz tomato soup is ok ... about 8 I think offhand, so that was my lunch ...

Totally agree with what's been said! Your MIL sounds a jealous and insecure person ... it maybe sounds strange to say she is insecure, but she is fighting hard to be "in control" in her home (and in control of the chaps in her family by the sounds of it!) They always say two ladies + one house =...

Methinks you should get rid of it rightaway! No! Not by scoffing it ... give it a hefty lob out the window! *L*

I had a boiled egg two days ago and didn't have any reaction but seems a lot of folk do ...

NOoooooo it isn't .... it's just an hallucination ... you think it's talking to you but it isn't ... I promise you!!! Btw have just gone mad eating an Asda chilli con carne, a packet of savoury rice and two packets of Snack a jacks to bring me up to 24 grams of fat today ... *L* am getting in...

Naaaahhhh, didn't sound it at all!! Don't worry! And yes .. I could moan away a pound a second I reckon ... *L* oh that would be wonderful, wouldn't it?! Chocolate oranges ... mmmm ... just meltableinthemouthable and gorgeous and tasty and rich and luxurious .. and ... ooops! Bad me...

:p:p *ROFL* ... my thoughts too ... !!! Yup I'd definitely be a nice shade of David Dickinson orange methinks! Soooo starting tomorrow it's going to be a whole new start then! ... as I say, I've bunged it up to 18.2g for today so going on what I've been eating (just looked back and some days...

Does anyone use the calculator on the alli website at all? Have just been on there and, bearing in mind my age/weight etc, it says I should be having 1800 cals a day and 19g fat per meal ... this is so blooming confusing!!! *LOL*

Rosie, have just been to that site but it says "Error 403 - Forbidden. You tried to access a document for which you don't have privileges" ... they musta heard I was coming!! Ha ha!

Hi there! We posted at the same time! *LOL* ... Yup it definitely is a hard journey ... I have done so many diets before aarrgghhh!! It's a case of having to lose weight though for my health this time, so amazingly I am finding it easy not to cheat. I never thought I would, so have surprised...

Hi there! Thanks for replying so quickly!! lubylu, no, I haven't had any side effects at all .. so straightaway I thought I was doing something wrong!! *L* well, there are just so many things people say about the tablets, you don't know where you are! I guess a lot of it is just trying and...

Hi there, I am on day 12 after being diagnosed (*L* sounds like Big Brother .. day 12 and the housemate, sick to death of being indoors, prays for eviction!) Just wanted to tell you the one thing that has helped me (and still is with the last "normal" flu symptoms), is drinking rooibos...

Hi Everyone! Well, I have been looking in for a while now ... so if you had the feeling someone was watching you, it was ME! ... *L* Due to high cholesterol (the sort that runs in the family) that didn't respond to statins, the doc put me on Orlistat on 23rd June this year. I have lost 16...
