    Hello all! Sooo looking forward to tomorrow meeting you guys. I just hope I can get the bunglow cleared quickly. We are picking the van up at 8.45 so that should be plenty of time, either way I'll be hopping on the train as I put the van insurance in john's name so he can always drop it off...

    Hi Karen, you might surprise yourself with weightloss, sometimes I feel heavier, but lose say 3lbs other times I can be really good and either STS or have a 1lb loss. You will get there but maybe need to be in the right place to go for it and as you said when your heads all over the place its...

    Right. Yes vicky I can meet in Red I know the metrocentre quite well. The thing is I maybe later than that. I'll explain- The furniture at John's nannas needs to be out soon, its a council bungalow so we have to hand the keys in by a certain date. So we found a number in yellow pages for someone...

    I would check with your doctor to be sure but I think if you aren't diabetic then your blood sugar will still read as normal range

    Ooo well then! I'll give John a ring in his lunch break and get back to you if thats ok as maybe if he is working he could get a lift home, he works 8-12 on a sat when doing overtime. Looking forward to it, I'll make it up there somehow, Im not sure if the crammy train still goes to metro or...

    Hi All It was weighin today and I've lost another 1lb. I'm quite pleased with that as I haven't been good this week, I've had a magnum and chips, not at the same time tho lol. I've had a nice day, and tonight John is off to football so I think I'm gonna have a pamper session. I've been using...

    Hi Karen, I'm fine. Have you started taking the tablets yet? They don't make everyone feel worse initially, but often takes a while for you to feel them kicking in. Everyone is different really and the longer you put off taking them the harder its gonna be as you will build up your expections of...

    2.25am. I had a migraine through the day so went to bed and now I can't sleep. It's the second migraine Ive had in a couple of week. To help myself feel better I had a Magnum :) It was lovely. I think it was the combination of wine the night before then sitting out in the sun so a bit of...

    Love your name Regina. I just wanted to ecco what you said really, I too am on a couple of different meds and when you are low it is hard to excersise and stick to diet plans but I do mainly walking too, helped by the fact i have dogs that need walking, but I always walk for my shopping now...

    I know Lisa, my thoughts exactly. I've never actually met her face to face but if I did I would be telling her. I can't believe the other neighbours haven't had proper words with her. Surely if she had any common sense she would either take the cat with her or give it up. Stupid obviously. I'm...

    Morning all. Got a cat update and I know who told her to clean her flat and the cat up.

    Vicky I would go to a few places as some people try to scam you to make themselves more bucks. The hangover feeling is gone. I think this is due to a medication increase I had recently, and I also think this may be the reason behind my slower weightloss. Not really much I can do at the moment...

    I don't test with sticks but I'm constantly thirsty etc so I'm pretty sure I'm still in ketosis :mad: Its all just financial stress really. Was even thinking of selling my wedding dress earlier. It cost over 1000 new and I'm never gonna wear it again, but my hubby said we'll manage. It just...

    I have had no experience of this diet, but I would suggest contacting Trading Standards if you feel like it has been missold or sold using pressure tactics which it sounds as if it is the case here. Good luck, I really do hope you have some success with Trading Standards x

    Ooo hunky plasterer. I have some one coming to look at my boiler tomorrow, but I'll bet he isn't a hotty. Stupid tramps were outside before, so I had to shut my windows again on a baking hot day due to their cigarrette smoke. I took great pleasure in seeing them scurrying in when the heavens...
