    How to speed up our weight loss...

    I find it easier to get more room temp water down though. The ice cold stuff makes me gasp for air. Straws are handy too tough. There are many types of Green Tea, including diet ones. I get mine from the Chinese supermarkets.

    Disasterous 1st wk weigh in

    IT WILL HAPPEN! Try not to be a scale hopper. Keep your head down as they say and your eye onthe prize. Keep at it and the weight will definately go. How could it not?? Don't give up, you can do it, you ARE doing it.x

    Can't 'eat'

    Don't worry about it. Don't worry about any of it. Look after your mental health doing anything you need to do to get through this rotten time. xx My thoughts are with you. Everything passes you know, just give it time.

    LUNCH!!!

    Hmmm was that really all you could get? Why have it anyway if it was so tiny? what was the point? And now you are angsting over it? I sound harsh i know but a big part for us dieters is changing the way we think. You wouldn't find a thin, healthy person eating curry and chips at lunchtime! We...

    i recall being weighed and measured years ago in Junior school and the humiliation for the fatties. I thought they had stopped all that, like Nitty Nora and the school dentist.
  167. annie_d

    In Agony...

    i would get some lubricant..even soap would do. Go and sit on the lavatory with your feet up on a pile of books, knees bent lean forward, push the lubricant slightly into your anus and open your mouth wide. Now then...i KNOW this sounds bizarre, but it will work.

    My skin feels weird!

    i get bored with the rubbing! Presumably we need to be doing it a couple of times a day! i do my neck with the Clarins Jeunesse De Cou and i really have noticed a difference there and am trying ( a bit) with the Bio oil everywhere else. It is expensive (ish) but really does last forever.
  173. annie_d

    Apologies....Very minging but....

    Interesting!

    FLAT OR FIZZY WATER??

    i mix and match. Not noticed any difference between the 2 as far as weight loss goes.

    Can SW not work for some people.....???

    It will be very ineteresting to see what your weightloss is. I do know what you mean though. There always seems to be such a lot of food involved and even the diet drinks have stuff in them that isn't healthy. Works for millions though doesn't it so i can't wait to see how you do at weigh-in.
  181. annie_d

    Dr says I need to try a GI diet HELP

    Daughter one of mine used that. She was hardly fat...weighed 10 stone and 5 8" but she got that book and has lost 10 pounds. She looks great on it too. Dead healthy, shiny hair and eats lots each day. Drfinately a lifestyle thing, more than a quick burst i would say.

    Couldn't you just use cream? I did hear lasering worked best on dark wiry hair. Is your facial hair like that? Is it just a little bit? As you said, it's a costly excercise. I had a friend who had it done and it really messed her skin (chin) leaving her scared but this was a few yaers ago. I...

    Taz's diary - Need to do this!

    When i started eating a bit ( after ssing on CD) i felt somehow "dirty" with processed stuff. Isn't that odd? I feel much better with just fruit/veg/cheese type food. I have to say, not healthier! LOL, just "better" in a way.

    Advice plz ladies and lads

    I look at it all over a 24 hour period. Sometimes i am up in the night a lot (don't ask!) and include that in my time to have the packs and the water. Didn't you feel a bit sick having them all together? It's a lot of nutrition all in one go.

    Drinking more water make you lose more weight. Discuss. I don't think it does. I mean, clearly you need to drink sufficient but i don't think that drinking more = greater weight loss.
