    Hypnotherapy

    Just wondering if anyone has had hypnotherapy for anything? I am considering it as i know i have serious food issue..... esp when it comes to chocolate. I recently switched from the CD to Exante (on day 3 of exante) but had a 3 week break inbetween..... rather stupidly. During that time my...

    Thanks for all the replies. Where do you buy the Biggest Loser Bars? I've not heard of them :o I take it the carbs and calories etc much be pretty similar to the cambridge and exante bars then? I have to confess i do like the CD choc orange bar & i like having it in the evening with a cup of...

    Thank you both for replying so quickly. I like the idea of not having to see a CDC. I just want to get on with it & don't gain anything from my CDC. I think i'm going to be a brave girl and order a box. Think i'll try the soups mixed box first as i'm not keen on sweeter shakes. Plus i always...

With my last pregnancy i was a size 18 when i fell pregnant & was still in my size 18 jeans when i was about 18-19 weeks. As for weight loss Slimming world...

    Oh i see..... wonder why my cdc said SS+ then. I've been with 2 CDC over the past few years and neither of them ever mentioned 810 cals.

    I'm confused by SS+ & 810 :confused: My cdc said SS+, is there much difference between SS+ & 810? I found a list on here of a list of 810 options but they are different to the booklet & what my cdc has written in it. 810 says - 2 L eggs, my cdc said 2 medium eggs. 810 says - 275g quorn...

    bars

    I don't like them. I asked my CDC to bring me 27 choc orange bars & 1 mint one as i'd heard mixed reviews and didn't want to be stuck with bars i didn't like. He turned up with over 2 weeks worth of the mint bars as the choc oranges ones he had were running out of date. Choc orange bars are...

    flapjacks are evil, stay clear!!!

    I tried the peanut flapjack when i first tried LT a few years ago & hated it. Lately i've been wanting something to chew on & a little fed up with the shakes so i got 1 flapjack yesterday to see if i could handle it. Well i opened it last night & had it in front of me for about 10 mins before...

    Weight converting

    Wow thanks guys. I know 5lbs is good but you know how it is when you are hoping the scales say one thing (13st 7lbs)but then say something else (13st 10lbs). I will see ask her to weigh me in stones and pounds next time, so much easier. I don't understand Kgs at all, i much prefer stones and...

    Weight converting

    I got weighed this morning & on the scales it said 87.25kg. Now if i google it, it comes up at 13st 7lbs however other sites say different things. It converts into 13st 7lbs but it also converts into 192lbs. Isn't 192lbs = 13st 10lbs :confused: I'm so confused, can anyone help me out please :D
  103. D

    Water intake.

    I have 6 litres a day + a little extra in my shakes. I add more water to my shakes as i find them too thick/creamy if i added the amount of water that LT recommends.

    Lipotrim or CD

    I've done LT & CD. Everyone is different but for me CD had too much choice. Also the shakes were lovely.... i don't like the LT shakes much at all. I loved the choc mint shakes & the bars were really nice too. CD is good for people who are out & about a lot as you can take a tetra or a bar...

    pharmasist

    I normally see the pharmacy assistant, she deals with all that kinda thing. She doesn't check my urine or bp or anything like that but she's nice. When she wasn't there once the pharmacist treated me like i was annoying him & he wouldn't weigh me.... obviously too much hassle to get the scales...

    You look fantastic, well done. You lucky thing getting no saggy stomach, i know mine won't be so flat when i get to my target weight. I shall blame the kids & the c-sections for that though lol ..... not the cakes & chocolates i used to eat. May i ask, how tall are you?
