    diet prior to surgery

    its a set daily diet, no substitutes, no milk no dairy, no sugars, no oils, sprays or butters, its pretty much eggs and grapefruit. Ive lost 7 lb in 2 days, which is great, starving hungry but guess thats how its working, burning body fat instead of anything being added. No dressings for salads...

    Can highly recommend the actifry, I got mine a few years back, and still going strong, though they are big and take up a huge amount of space on my worktop but the newer ones are smaller but taller! the recipe book states exactly how many minutes each side for the steak, and no oils used, just...

    Yep I have an actifry perfect for cooking the steak I do the slimmers world chips in the oven but instead of any spray oil I just sprinkle them with some herbs and spices they take a little longer to crisp up but taste nicer :)

    DOING SW FROM HOME???

    thank you so much Emma any help is greatly appreciated, I havent found my doctor to be very supportive, my specialists have all made recommendations and advised she refers me for different tests and shes done none of them, hence the reason I started doing things myself.

    I done it! 4 weeks and I've lost my first stone! When they told me to get the operation I needed I had to lose 6 stone in 8 months it seemed like an impossible target, but now I am feeling much more positive. I cant eat bread, pasta, rice, cheese, potatoes and eggs as I get a very quick...

    I know you can do it hun! :) you have nothing to prove except to yourself, if you want it enough it will happen. Focus on a goal, they dont have to be big ones, even if your goal each week is to maintain, that way anything off is a bonus :)

    Ive just added you to my contacts cirsty.

    Ive lost 4 lbs this week and I am one very happy bunny indeed, yesterday my daughter and boyfriend sat eating steak with mushrooms, onions, and real chips followed by a whole gateux between them topped with double cream, but I enjoyed my ham salad and muller light knowing today I would be happier :)
