Well I have had a great start to the year. Not because I think I have lost weight or anything like that but because my scales are broken! No longer can I start stripping off all my clothes in the vain hope that I will magically suddenly lose a pound with less clothes on... Anyway, I also have...

Well having eaten and drunk too much and not doing sufficient exercise over the Xmas/New Year's Eve and my 40th birthday, I am now back to 8 stone 4 which is where I was when I started my log - LOL! But now that this period is over, it is time to drink less. And when I drink less I will...

It's been Xmas and well, it hasn't gone well... This is because there has been 3 days this week where I drunk a whole bottle of wine which means 600 calories in one go. Then of course, once I drink, I don't stop eating :( So I am feeling a bit porky! However, yesterday and today has been...

I have been feeling a bit busy so I haven't kept a log of what I am eating. To be honest, I am feeling a bit stressed with the number of events going on in my life at the moment. I will probably feel a lot more relaxed by mid this week once I have started my new job in a completely different...

I have been a bit busy with one thing or another recently. It looks like I will be moving and starting a new job next week and it's during the run up to Christmas too! But it means I am ready for a new start in the New Year :) Anyway, with regards to looking after my health and diet, I have...

I started off so positive this week and then sadly, I feel it went a bit wrong by the end of the week, LOL! Ever since I weighed myself, I just haven't been able to get into the Paul Mckenna rules and have wanted to eat whatever, whenever. And all of it is really crap food as well. It's a...

Hello Aline, you are right, my 1100 daily average is including my wine. But you have to remember that I am only 4 ft 11 so I don't need that many calories. Unfortunately! Anyway, I never, ever go hungry because I don't want to slow my metabolism down and then find it even harder to look great...

Anyway, my diet last week, I averaged 1,100 calories each day. I doubt I have lost any weight. I haven't mentioned exercise in my diary yet so I want to quickly say what I do. During the week, I ensure that I do some sort of exercise for at least 5 days out of the 7. For exercise, I do fluid...

I completely understand why you have moved your diary to the member's section. But I think it might take me awhile until I reach the 50 posts count! As for the drinking, yeah it is a real diet enemy... I have just been saying to my housemate that it would be good if we only bought small...

I asked my best friend and he said that I am short and talk to much... LOL!

I am also wishing you all the very best :)

I also agree that the media has a lot to answer for. There is also a lot to be said for the tweaks that happens for photos and in films. All those perfect women in magazines and films are just not like that in real life!

I just wanted to wish you luck :)

I'm sorry that you are in a bad place. I just want to give you a virtual hug and I hope you find a way towards a more positive future soon.

I wanted to try and find a way to stop snacking during the day. I find it so easy when I am studying at my computer to just go and grab something to eat from the kitchen, even if I am not really hungry. This past week, I tried to keep repeating to myself everytime I thought of eating something...

Good luck Aline with the Paul Mckenna approach to eating. As you have now moved your log, I can't read it but once I have relevant permissions, I will be interested to read how you are doing :)

Can anyone advise how many postings I need to make before I can access the diaries in the members only forum? Many thanks

Hi Aline, I bought the Paul Mckenna book plus CD from amazon: I Can Make You Thin - Love Food, Lose Weight: New Full Colour Edition includes free DVD and CD: Amazon.co.uk: Paul McKenna: Books I haven't seen the DVD; this wasn't part of the pack when I bought it but wish it was! This book + DVD...

Thanks Aline for your comments :) It's funny that there are two people on this forum who are petite and doesn't eat meat! LOL! Well for the past 6 days, I haven't been able to successfully eat only when I am hungry. But at least I am fine at stopping eating when I start to feel full. The...

Thank you everyone for all your support :) I have told my house-mate that I want to try and eat a bit better. But my house-mate also has a slight weight problem and I think he feels better if I eat badly with him <chuckle> Anyway, I decided that I...

My total calorie intake today is approx 1600. This is 300 calories over my 1300 maximum calorie intake for someone of my height. And I feel sick because I just had a huge binge on crisps (my normal binge food!). I think the problem is that I started to feel lonely and depressed this...

Btw, I am starting this log at just under 5ft at 8.4 st Being petite, all the extra pounds really show on me <big sigh> My target weight is 7.7 stone. I know that if I only eat when I am hungry, I hardly need to eat anything at all on a day to day basis. It's really scary. But I like...

I want to start a log to realise my dream of looking great naked! Unfortunately, I don't work at the moment so I find it really easy to raid the larder in the kitchen... To make it worse, my house-mate is always buying me really fattening foods for me too eat... I'm not seriously overweight...
