I am doing 3:4 it's tough but I think I might be able to stick at it beyond the normal January determination

I have dabbled a bit but never stuck at it so keen to get some support on here. I am lucky to be going skiing in 6 weeks but not fit enough to enjoy it and I can't fit into my ski pants so I am thinking I will try 3,4 for 6 weeks and try to get to some classes as well as extending the dog walk and squats at home. Having…

I am in Twyford so not that far but too far to train together but happy to keep in touch on here and try to help each other. I certainly need someone to remind me to stay in check. I used to do a lot of exercise but work has sadly taken over and I always struggle to get to a class or the gym but I have to lose some weight…

doing it too and yes it actually seems OK. can get quite a lot for 500 calories

forget it move on, we all do it, some days you just have to let go other days you can be strong. The less you have the less you want until you get so used to healthy food that sweets actually aren't nice any more!! Try not to get hungry, pick on sticks of vegetables, or things like sugar snap peas which are crunchy and…

sonya thanks for that, had a read, interesting. i am struggling of at home, find it easier when out and about and away from the fridge!! generally keeping count of everything ad trying to restrict the calories, the maths seems to make sense to me, you have to eat less and burn more to loose weight. I am not convinced that…

Good luck Suzie, I did one day and it was OK, planning my next day tomorrow

you must rattle. That's a lot of pills. Great that it makes you feel better, I've never got there with it and always forget to take them, interesting that some foods don't have as much as we'd expect.

so first day of 500 or under, it's tough but OK. Had a nice breakfast, my favourite, natural yoghurt, berries and granola, that set me up for the day, then ate a pack of prawns, which I like and is easy to eat on the go. Had a diet coke and a few teas and coffees. so not a complete fast 500 calories is certainly achievable.

have you always taken it or just while dieting, what's the reasoning behind it and what results have you had?

ahh it's only got a couple of small clips, can't seem to get the whole program

thanks I'm going to watch that now - being bombarded with ads for various gimmicks but never really tried that.

tried something this morning and it did not want to know but we had internet access issues not tried anything else today.

Oh dangerous stuff, although a friend of mine who lost about 30Kg did have fish and chips and just counted the calories into her allowance, the extra exercise could help but have to say the soup and roll sounds a better option from where I am sitting, you'll only regret it

Diane - sorry to get you salivating, I am cutting back on everything but feeling strong and motivated at the moment. Jut been on a nice bike ride with the dog and will be drinking lots of water today to keep me from getting hungry. Loving the pig picture Copperycat, you have done so well, how long has it taken to drop the…

does your body really slow down if you eat too little? I have seen lots of people lose a lot of very low calorie diets??

Live near Reading but Londoner at heart, the locals round here Reading Town, but for me town is London. Lots of crazy Americans on here so well done for trying to find the Brits

funny how we can't understand Americans as you say nothing personal buy nice to understand what we're eating, although can't say I'm too keen on haggis? Started on here in January and when I worked out the lbs!! managed to get from 195 down to 180. It's now september and I'm back at 195. Ahhhhhhhh. Starting again and…

this is nothing to do with the size of your bladder but pelvic floor muscle strength. You need to exercise your pelvic floor muscles and get more strength. Google pelvic floor exercise and do them , it makes a huge difference to so many things.
