Hi I have been in the same situation as you. I was on Warfarin for a DVT - but only for 6 months. The time flies honestly. I believe the advice (from Lighter Life in my case) was that you had to be off Warfarin for 6 months before re-starting a VLCD. Whilst I waited I made sure I had a...

I tried W8 last year - gave up as they had a habit of not sending my orders so I had days where I had no packs - not much good for SS. And don't get me started on their 'customer service'. Anyway - I can assure you that the packs on CD are a lot nicer. I tend to lean towards the shakes as...

I am not 100% sure on this point. I believe if you are below a certain BMI and not on certain medications you don't have to have your form signed off by a doctor. I didn't - I am not on any prescribed drugs and my BMI when I started was 33. I am sure a CDC will be able to clarify for you...

If you start on Sole Source/Abstinence you need 3-4 food packs a day depending on sex/height. You buy each component separately and charges vary between consultants. I am in central London and pay the following: - Porridge/Shakes/Soups £1.70 each - Bars £1.97 - Tetra Briks (like a ready made...

I thoroughly recommend mysinglefriend.com - all seemed pretty genuine on there, plus possibly biased as met my husband on it!

Hi Ladies I totally agree with Russian Doll - Carpe Diem. I did my TEFL with exactly that thought in mind. I trained, left my nice secure job, and spent a year in Greece - my sole criteria when job hunting was - good weather and hot looking men! (I was 33 at the time - and single...

I did a TEFL a few years back. I thoroughly enjoyed it but it was pretty full on - are you planning on studying full time or part time? You need to devote a lot of time to reading and lesson preparation in addition to attending lectures and actual teaching. Do you have any teaching...

I tried Callanetics last summer - did not persevere unfortunately so cannot comment on its effectiveness. My recollection is that it was quite simple to follow and I felt comfortable with the moves. I got a REALLY cheap video through Amazon so if you don't want to make a major financial...

Oop sorry, Lucy in Carshalton is CD - Carolyn in Sutton is LL and fantastic. I can't recommend her highly enough!

I have just found Lucy in Carshalton who is lovely.

After chasing up yesterday I have now received a bit more information on the 'new' VLCD company. They are busy recruiting and training consultants across the UK and have offered one to one consultant support by phone until there is a meeting in my area. They have supplied forms requiring...

How about a mooch round this site? Boutique hotel and luxury hotel directory - Mr and Mrs Smith

Hilarious, I thought I was the only one who couldn't control their bar intake! I only ordered 1 per week too as I couldnt trust myself. I am going to re-start soon and am already fretting about whether I can control myself - major challenge - strangely not worrying about ability to SS, just...

I feel the same way. Haven't been into WLR much today, so haven't seen today's incident, but have seen some real corkers in response to a mild enquiry! I always try to post a good, positive response whilst having a little dig as the most vitriolic responses are from people who have never even...

LL do indeed have a maintenance programme - once off SS you do a 12 week programme (think it's 12 - can you spot the guilty conscience of one who didn't finish it?!). The programme involves food being slowly re-introduced with packs per day reduced over the programme and there is a weekly group...

I 'signed up' on Monday - just to find out what the story was - being a dedicated LL/CDer! Not heard a thing yet - so definitely not impressed so far.

Sorry, if too late - but I have Tanita scales and love them - they are really accurate. Can't remember the exact model of mine, but they were about £20 from Argos!

I tried to take a mortgage holiday a couple of years ago when I was going back into full-time education. With my mortgage provider I was told I could only have a mortgage holiday if I was pregnant - thought it was a bit drastic! Ended up swtiching to an interest only mortgage for 12 months to...

Thanks Lesly I will give Trixie a call. Didn't quite get the touting for business comment. I asked a question I thought was relevant to this site - didn't mean to cause offence! To be honest, if a CDC takes the time to use the forum and give free advice I don't have a problem if they do...

Does the phone number have more CDCs listed than on the website as have already trawled that! Minx

Can anyone help? Is there a CDC who covers Canary Wharf where I seem to spend most of my life chained to a desk? Have been going to a local CDC but takes ages to get to her and I don't find her very inspiring - I seem to know more than she does about Cambridge - all gleaned from this...

I don't have one, but if memory serves me correctly the one that was being sold a couple of weeks ago lasted till September and worked out at a saving of at least £1 per session. Suspect it also meant you could queue jump - a bonus if you go to a weigh in only class in the City!

I recently completed a PGCE and when I was preparing for interviews I found the TES website noticeboards invaluable for info/feedback/ideas. If you don't have any information about what is going to happen on the day you should speak to the college and find out what they are going to ask you to...

Weightwatchers have an offer on - free registration. Go to their site and print off the coupon - it's valid till the 31 March, but there's nothing to stop you using it sooner! I am joining up to WW next week. Want to lose nearly 2 stone. Was a dedicated LLer but can't do that at the moment due...

Have been thinking about getting a slendertone belt for ages as I have a deep aversion to exercise but suffer from a flabby tummy so am going to have to take action before I face the world in a bikini! Do the belts really work? Any feedback gratefully received! The Minx
