Aah thanks for support lozz and ontheverge! Goodluck on your first week of programme ontheverge! Still feeling awful everytime have a pack unfortunately and sadly caved in and ate some party food as it was my sons 7th birthday! So annoyed with myself but straight back on today and not going to...

Hi autumn leaves! Glad to see that you are back on track after your little blip! I think it's great you got back on the saddle and didnt let it ruin your hardwork so far! I had a 3 day break on doc's advice and really struggled to get back onto the programme 100%, luckily I still had a 2lb...

Aaaah thanks pinkie its so lovely to hear something positive about doing the programme. ALOT of people are telling me to come off diet including my doctor and when i feeling so poorly and the temptation to eat comes along having people saying that doesnt help atall! Thought had all settled down...

Thanks autumn leaves, lovely to have encourgement and support! Hi Pinkie, thanks for your reply! Need a few more posts before I can pm.. It's nice to know there is other people out there that understand! I had a terrible day yesterday, felt really low with it all and was very emotional. Finally...

Thanks eatlikeabird! It wasn't an easy decision deciding to get back on the programme but I'm hoping the long term health benefits of losing weight will outweigh the short term problems it may give me x

Hi all thanks for your replies :-) Sorry I haven't been able to come on this last week. After last post unfortunately tummy got much worse and doc ended up sending me for emergency colonoscopy as had started to lose blood. All ok but am just experiencing a bad flare up. On docs advice came off...
