Excellent post. I'll be copying this to put in my diet notes to refer back to. Thanks.

I was thinking the exact same yesterday.... 8 glasses of water a day is advised, but how big is the cup. Not very specific!

I choose the foods with the actual measurements by them rather than cup, as there seems to be many of the same food added on this site. I'm from the UK also. Whereabouts? Surrey here. If all else fails, go on ebay US and buy a measuring cup :o)

Super inspirational! Well done.

LOLOL

I'm diabetic :)

Hate to say it, but you were RIGHT, ALL of you. :embarassed: My sugar free sweeties that I've been chomping on all night have given me diarrhoea (severe), stomach cramps, and feeling icky.

OMG thanks for sharing!!! Gotta run ...in the other sense!

It looks to be missing but it ends in sw. You can eat all sweets, but that link was directed at those that value their teeth or may be diabetic like myself :)

That's why I'm choosing the stevia based ones only :)

I'm too conscious about my size, but apart from that I am clumsy and fear slipping on the wet tiles.

***THANK YOU ALL FOR THE LOVELY WELCOME*** I will reply to some of the posts later today as I have to go out now. I've just created a PROFILE. Enjoy the read. Catch up with you later X

By the way, I'm bigger than in the pic!!! That was 2011. When you get to my size you're not very photogenic! Or maybe that's my own view.

Thanks everso much x

Hello David, Thanks very much. What kind of surgery did you have? I know there are 4 or 5 types. I'm glad it worked out for you and well done on your achievement :) Catherine

OMG really? That's AWFUL. That would probably happen to me, I get anaemic alot.

Yes, as mentioned previously I do intend to lose my weight instead of having that surgery. I have great will-power, I gave up smoking 5 years ago and I've lost 20lbs already. So I'm hoping to go the natural route. I agree also, exercise helps osterarthritis. There is nothing worse than non activity to make you stiffen up…

How the heck do you delete posts on here?!! Just realised I'm meant to reply using

Hey! People can throw at me whatever they want! I will just assume they haven't read my post properly :) I haven't decided to have gastric surgery.... my health professionals have. I have decided to lose the excess weight BEFORE surgery. There's a big difference. Thanks, Catherine

Hi there, Yes, that is my aim. Especially since I read about 'dumping syndrome'.... EEEK I want to lose all my weight. Catherine :)

Thank you. I have added you. Nice to meet you.
