yeah!!! That's true, sometimes if I go for a nap on a full stomach I wake up soooooo hungry after. C'mon all you good people out there, please help us!!!

no no no no, don't be going thinking eggs are bad!! They have 70 for one egg and they are brilliant for quick breakfast, super healthy lunch or anything. Good calories vs bad calories. Sorry I'm a huge egg lover!!! And totally know what you mean by calorie know how. I like to watch others eat. But don't tell anyone!!…

May the forth be with you (I'm so sorry I couldn't help it. I don't even feel guilty!! I know you have probably heard it a thousand times but I had to!!) :devil:

I can't do the one where you lie on the floor and your bum goes in the air, seriously my bum just doesn't leave the floor!!

ah, well then yes, drink loads of water so you need a pee!! Make sure the windows are shut so you're gasping for air and have to go and open them. I admit these are sneeky things to do. I'd still prefer the extra half hour ha ha!!! How about early evening is it too hot then, like 5pm?

there is no way you'd find me exercising instead of catching that precious extra 30 mins! If you do want to stick to exercise go at a time that suits you. I exercise as soon as I come home at 3pm. The rest of my family come home at 5pm so there is 2 hours to just get hot and sweaty and it's then done for the night!

change agent - that's awesome! I think the fact that there is a support group here just cheering you on for a win but not scorning you when a glass is drunk is a massive help!!! I also think just being more concious and wanting to change is a great step and often results in leaving that glass of wine, or not getting the…

what's up????!!! I'll tell ya!! Wed night had two glasses of wine and stopped. Didn't want anymore Thursday I went to the party had a few glasses of wine and when I thought "you know what I'm quite happy right now". I stopped!!! Yep that's right, from 11pm I was on lime and soda and I had a fantastic night, soooooooo funny…

Is it wrong that I have a crush on him?!?! :blushing:

Understood. It is some that did take the short cut. [/quote] Pauline quirke denies having gastric band. She apparently used lighter life. I say apparently because you're right celebrities use all sorts of fantastic ways to lose weight. But you gotta admit she is looking so much healthier and slimmer whatever she did. Like…

I reckon it will be less days I was just constantly pis*ed ha ha!! Took a while for it to come out of my bloodstream!!

just done Day 1 today. Not doing it 7 days a week, probably 3/4. I feel weak and broken!

I use 2.5 each hand so 5lbs overall. I was ok today, this is my second time starting it, I used bottles of water last time and cans and I couldn't move for days so I've not tried 30DS in months. Good luck with it!

been there my lovely! I think it's because you feel you deserve a break! I know I did, I started liking myself again and being proud of my achievement so stopped trying. You need another kick up the *kitten*. Take some pictures and see what you need to achieve still. Visualise where you ultimately want to be and start all…

Just done a 1000 calorie burn. This non drinking malarky IS all it's cracked up to be!!!! C'mon guys, you can do it, you'll feel amazing I promise you! :flowerforyou:

OMG!! The day has finally come!! I have been working earlies all day so I woke up naturally today on my day off at 8am. I have done my To Do list and have been sooooooo full of energy it's unbelievable! I have done 45 mins intensive zumba and day 1 of JM 30DS. I am now contemplating 22 mins on the elliptical in order to…

I had a two egg omelette with a pack of Tesco chilli and coriander prawns and a bit of salad. 336 calories. I have my salad prepared for tonight with a chicken breast in masala sauce from Tesco light choices. I even have enough for a funsize bag of maltesers tonight! I love tuesdays!!!

Recession on - you'd think customer service would be sky high trying to retain existing customers and fighting the competition for theirs. Bad customer service is my one gripe in life. I just don't get it. I have been a hospitality manager for 10 years and I'm passionate about giving the wow factor and making each visit…

Sorry, maybe I misread the subject matter?:huh: I think celebrities are those people a lot of people look up to (don't ask me why but they do) and if they inspire just one overweight person out there to try and lose weight then I think that's a good thing IMHO.

I think all men have a slight crush on Prof Cox. I wouldn't worry! :love:

I do think I can start the streak again. I have been trying since October to go longer and longer without drinking! A week has been my best, and then this streak. I might give it a go and use this forum to get back on track. It's a lifestyle change I suppose and I need to learn moderation. Ah you guys are the best!

hanged and hung. Someone hanged himself. This really gets me!

Really want a glass of wine tonight. This is my Third Monday and Monday night is bottle of red night. You're all doing fab! Here's to Day 16...... I do need advice though.... I'm going to a party on Thursday. I'm torn, do I drink or not? I'm thinking I deserve a drink because I have done so well. I'm thinking I shouldn't…

Come on ladies!!! If I can do this, you lot definitely can! Mind over matter! I lost 2 lbs from not drinking these last two weeks. I really do feel like it's a competition now with myself, but I'm not sure what I win :huh: I feel like I'd be letting myself down if I did drink Anyway here's to another day, another night,…

I hope the answer is sparkling water because I have gradually shifted from full fat, to diet soda to flavoured sparkling and now ALL I drink is sparkling water and green tea.

chocolate oat milk!!! Love it!

teas great isn't it?! :ohwell: I've tried every cup of camomile with essence of.... I have drunk so much tea I'm peeing every 30 minutes. I Want Wine! Give Me The WINE!!! Day 15 in HoT's AFZ and all is going REALLY well I feel! :laugh:

when it's an effort to just turn in your bed and you contemplate bed sores for a good nights sleep. when your 4 year old nephew no longer plays 'take Auntie Helen's seat' for fear of her sitting on him actually squashing him when you can't remember the last time you saw your feet let alone tie the shoelaces. You bought…

I'm so with the shoelace tying! When your *kitten* takes most things off the table as you turn around and when you swing around to see what happened your boobs knock everything off the shelf :cry: when you stare lovingly at people's knee high boots and they ask if you want to try them on but you can't face the…
