    Colonoscopy

    I had a sigmoidoscopy last year which is very similar. I was dreading it but the fear was much worse than the actual procedure itself. I had a nurse talking to me all the way through to take my mind off it and I am sure they will do the same for you. You can watch it on a screen and it is...

    What's the maximum I can loose?

    they say the average on SS is a stone per month which is more than any other diet and you are already past that in 3 weeks! You've done really well! You really need to look at the loss in 4 week chunks as one week you can lose next to nothing and then the following week a whole load! I am...

    1000 plan question

    I had salmon at least once per week. Its not a very big portion so you tend to try and have things that give you more (if you are anything like me! lol) Thats why i got abit obsessed with the quorn sausages (LOADS on your plate) had them about 5 nites in a row so now gone off them abit! lol:D
