    Help with cats weeing everywhere...

    It's weird why it's all of a sudden. Cats are so clean that it's strange that they're doing it elsewhere. Is their food bowl close to the litter tray? Another thing is that like anyone, they don't like going where they eat x

    I have two cats - male (8) & female (5) Theyre both really good - we've had them for two years now and they have a litter tray between them (originally they had one each but started sharing so that was fine by us!) The female is fine but we find that if the litter tray is a little dirtier...

    I know it's easier said than done but try not to focus on what others have lost. Everyones bodies work different and you just need to find the "trick" that works with yours :) The only thing I can say is if you don't write a food diary maybe do one for the week just to check your not "mis...

I'm 26 so I know that some people would have loved to have been my age and finally doing something about it but I wish I'd done this earlier or obviously never let myself go like this.

    I love the difference it's made so far! Honestly I can walk so much longer without that pain in my back and I get up quicker from chairs etc. It's amazing. I'd just like a couple of weeks of losing 3 or 4 pounds. It would be nice x

    I have tried my version of Lasagne and I would say that as the passata is really thin it can sometimes not give a lot of flavour which is why I always put in a tin of tomatoes too x

    I just figured because I was always doing it at the same time and my official weigh in is also 9.30, that I couldn't trust it. Although I SHOULD lose because there's no reason why not... I still think there's a possibility that my chubb doesn't wanna go and stay for another week! x

    Think Slinky!! CurvyKaren's Diary

    I was kind of hoping that it might be a big juicy loss this week so I was hoping by now that I might see a proper change by at least a pound or so. I think the challenge is to keep focused and not think "fudge it - I'll eat a fudge" you know? x
