Tales from the Scale : Erin Shea. I am relating to so many of these ladies stories. :eek:

Rewind. 1969. NY. Me and Dad at the movies. Film ?? ' Oliver '. Have loved it ever since and fostered my love affair with England.

Welcome aboard !!!!!! :welcome::welcome::welcome::welcome::welcome::welcome:

I would not touch aspartame with a ten foot pole myself, ditto for Sweet and Low ( saccharine ). I do not even use Splenda anymore, it is bleached and chlorinated sugar. Go figure. I left England in October, so not sure of the latest developements there, but last I heard you still do not...

Woo-hoo !!!!!!!! Well done. :happy096::happy096::happy096::happy096::happy096:

You go for it, girfriend ! :p:p:p:p

I tried doing this as a blog, but after writing it, it said I do not have a blog, so it is out there someplace in cyberspace I suppose, so will do my daily writing here instead. I was 105-110 pounds all thru high school and into my third year at University. Both my insomnia and binge eating...

I absolve thee, move on, all is forgiven. Tomorrow is another day, Scarlett. ;);););)

Hi Faustina ! Thank you so much for your reply to my problem. I know for a fact the Swartzbein book is available at my local library, so can nip over and get that, the other book I have jotted down both the title and author and will see about getting it from the library if not will purchase it...

A gallon a day right now ( 4 litres ).

Hi DOVES ! So glad to hear you liked being on this side of the pond ! I love England and have been 9 times, and one day all being well it will for good. I live in Brooklyn, so only 1 borough away from Sunnyside in Queens. You would not like being here now I should think, we are having a...

Thanks ! Thank you so much both of you for your lovely replies and not telling me to just ' put on my big girl pants and deal with it ', you sensed my frustration and your thoughts on the matter are very helpful. I am worried that that my thryoid will be subclinical and will show as nothing...

I do not think there is a knack to it, all things being well, whatever goes in must come out, so whether you gulp, sip, chug....if it goes it, it will need to come out. I drink 4 liters a day myself, sometimes more, as NY is very very hot, it is 37 C here today, so bathroom calls are the norm...

Perhaps some reading this thread will feel I am being 'Miss Gloom and doom ' far too early in the game. I have been overweight/obese since I developed my eating disorder back in 1983, so I have been in this game a very long time now. I joined Slimming World online, as I am not able to go to...

SM : I was trying to leave you either a pm or a message on your page, but it said I do not have access. :( Anyhow to answer your question, I am not recovered yet, but in recovery. It is a long and slow process, as I am now 49 and I developed the disorder when I was a Uni student at age 22. All...

Thank you so much for the info SM ! And for the welcome Lorraine. I am a bit used to food shopping here, our supermarkets are like wareshouses, and we have Whole Foods, Trader Joes and health food shops all over, even in Brooklyn, so things that are common and average to me like sugar free...

Never mind formal exercise, just start walking. Get yourself a quality pedometer, like an Omron from Amazon, and start counting up your daily steps. Not everybody likes a gym or wants to be involved with one. I own my own treadmill and exercise bike, but when I am in the UK, I go for miles...

Reminds me of an old Hitchcock film that my Dad watches quite often. The father in the film says to his daughter ' Barbara, one does not always have to say what one thinks '. Wish more people would follow this advice. I have a great t-shirt that I bought off Ebay in England, that says 'Think...

You may consider the Harcombe Diet. It was not effective for me as I am a full time vegetarian with vegan leanings and her start up plan requires meat, fish and fowl. However it will probably help you with your sugar cravings as quite low in carbs to start, then after day 6 she lets you have...

Someplace long ago I read ' scales belong on a fish ', sometimes it seems so true. I have a major love hate relationship with the scale. I want it to validate on a daily basis the 'proof' of my sticking to plan and the hours of weekly cardio I put in, but alas, it does not do that. It is a...

Welcome aboard ! I am new too, both to this site and SW online. Good luck to you in your journey.

Losing slowly Hi all : I am new here, my name is Victoria. ( I did an introduction thread before ). I joined SW online as I live in the States, though I do spend a lot of time in Essex, as I am in long distance relationship, so we go back and forth. SW has come to the States however not in NY...

Hi all : My name is Victoria and I am new to this forum. I live primarily in NY, but due to being in a long distance relationship I do spend a lot of time in Essex, England. I am a vegetarian and part time vegan and joined Slimming World online from the States as they only have branches in...
