Hiya Hellie, I've just seen your post and no replies..... yep, it certainly does seem very quiet on this site doesn't it! Anyway, i haven't yet started the THD, but like you, i am very interested. i don't know anyone who has done this diet, but, i sure hope it does work because i have tried and...

Wow, Brilliant responses from everyone, thank you all so much, its great to hear that a good many of you are doing so well on green days, I get so confused with carbs being bad for you etc...., but clearly, it works so I will persevere and eat the things I like, which is mainly carbs and hope...

Hi All, well I have taken the plunge and have swapped from Cambridge and starvation to Slimming World, I have researched it for ages and never really believed that it could work, but at 52 years old and yo-yoing all my life, I have decided that I need to do something which I can stick with for...

Hi Auburn ashes, that's the only thing that nags at me, I know that if I return to my old eating habits, then its a given, and I will regain, but, I am worried that my body will get used to the low calorie intake and get too used to it, then even if I eat normally (whats normal?) I will still...

Hi All, well, like probably some of you out there, ive tried everything, and i mean everything, and when i say tried, i mean tried and failed too. So, this is it now, i am sick of hauling this three - four stoned of excess body around, sick of not being comfortable in my work uniform and having...

Hi All, yep, i agree its great to be able to support each other at a similar stage in the programme. My gp signed my form, but also charged me 30 quid!! (i must be in the wrong job, that really is a cheek when all i needed was a signature), but hey, he did take my blood pressure, a bit high, so...
