    anyone else STARTING (again) TODAY?

    anyone else STARTING (again) TODAY?

    Hi Everbody! Yes, I failed miserably yesterday too. Had a big fat baked potato with cheese and salad. yum. Tried something a bit different today. As soon as I woke up - had a CD muffin. I think it helped in preventing the post-binge hunger pang I usually get. Went to the gym - 1 litre...

    Thanks for the words of wisdom. My sister said the white lies I was planning on using reminded her of the tactics her anorexic friend used to employ! I'll play it by ear and I guess it'll depend on who I'm with - friends or strangers. Thanks for all the advice! xxxSascha

    Hi I have a number of social engagements that are - unfortunately - unavoidable. Desperate to stay on SS for the June challenge though. How do you all get around eating out?

    Hi Sarah, Wiggly, Kangy and anyone else in the 7 day challenge. Back up North for the weekend.

    Hi All So far today. 1 choc bar. 1 choc pack. think I can see a theme developing. 2 L so far. maybe another L before bed. Just back from gym. I'm also having trouble sleeping without the comforting carbs at suppertime! Hopefully the exercise will help. We'll see.... night-night, everyone! xS

    Soul Sourcing Before Operation????

    Jenn I'm a surgeon. and we do keyhole surgery. I'm also on CD. The reason we tell patients to lose weight is to enable access (for me, the surgeon) and to reduce the risk of post-operative complications (for you, the patient). plus keyhole surgery can be made difficult by intra-abdominal fat...

    7 DAY CHALLENGE, ANYONE?

    Hi All Wow Day 3. Well in the pink despite the granulated Splenda fiasco. No, Wiggly, the Splenda makes the muffins just sweet enough. I'm switching to tablets though - Sarah uses three, she said - so try that. USA girl - just keep going. one house sale= a major life event, let alone 2...

    7 DAY CHALLENGE, ANYONE?

    Sarah well. funnily enough- today is the only day I haven't used Splenda. And I've gone pink (on ketostix) for the first time. There maybe something in it. I just did a quick Google search - I think it's because in order to make Splenda granulated - they add maltodextrin to change the...

    Wigglychick In response to your question about muffins earlier - I mix a pack with 1 tbsp of Splenda. mix to a thick paste and microwave for 20 - 30 secs. Makes a nice fluffy souffle/ muffin. you can turn it out onto a plate - which makes it transportable too. although I like them hot like...

    Yes, a cooking course would have totally appealed to the Nigella in me! There's a woman in Nice who you stay with - shop for ingredients, and cook with her. Might do it anyway, once things start heading in the right direction. will be full of other women and gay blokes though!
