    Weigh in!

    No meals

    Hey we have all been there! i feel your desperation, but resist if you can. it will not be good for you in the long run! If you do it for 2 weeks or less i guess it wouldn't harm you because most fad/crazy/unrealistic diets (that are not necessarily nutritionally complete) are only ever...

    Dilemma!

    b cool :cool:Dont panic..lol It will be fine, you have to realize this is not an everyday thing so this will happen once in a while so just role with it... Its highly unlikely you will be able to correctly calculate the calories. so if you can, rely on your body to tell you how to eat...

    Ashamed.

    Regardless, your picture is great... About your close ones, Im sure thats just your perception of what you think they think....the reality is probably very positive even if they don't show it...You should defo read your book...the different thing about P.Mc is its a Cd so by hearing his positive...

    Ashamed.

    hi hun, dont feel bad, your photo shows your absolutely gourgous, and have nothing to be ashamed of. You have probably heard of Paul mckenna but i thought i would mention it anyway! Alot of his success to get people to loose weight is not actually through hypnosis. it is actually getting the...

    Too much sugar?

    Hi Emma, i think your absolutely right to be a bit concerned with the sugars, i think most people would agree that its defiantly on the high side. I think any type of sugar will have some sort of effect on your body. Something i read: "Sugars rapidly assimilated into your blood stream, they...
