Paul McKenna "I Can Make You Thin!"

Bitsy_Beans

Rosie - just read your thread - I had a m/c before conceiving with my DD so I know exactly how you feel. Hell if an aero makes you feel a tiny ounce better eat as many as you need. I know we shouldn't use food as a crutch but sometimes you have to support yourself the best way you can - if that's a bit of chocolate when you are not hungry then fine - acknowledge what you are doing and move on.
I am crossing everything for you and sending lots of sticky vibes your way. I can't believe they are making you wait 2 weeks - no chance of your H being persuaded of a private one then? hugs to you my dear - it's an swful waiting game you are being put through xxxx

As for me.....PMK gah I just can't make anything work at the moment. Bit fed up with myself at the mo - I just can't stick to anything, dunno why I bother TBH
Will perhaps try and aim to get my head together for new year......how many times have I said that one then :rolleyes:

Thanks Bitsy. You put a smile on my face this morning. It's too late now to get a private scan, as all clinics booked up now until at least Tues next week. As my scan is booked for next Thurs anyway, i will just have to wait. I'm sorry that it happened to you too. I tell you, if this pregnancy does work out, or a later pregnancy, I will never again take it for granted.

Hi all, just a quick check in to say hello and to wish you all a happy new year.

Rosie, so sorry to read of your recent troubles - if my understanding is correct you will have learnt more today with your scan - my thoughts and prayers are with you honey xxx.

Maisie, sorry to hear you've been through the mill too, hope you're feeling better?

My sciatica is better but still not right. If I do anything be it sitting, lying or moving about for too long it causes me pain (literally in the a*s!!) and I have to get up and hop around! My OH is finding these episodes highly amusing! Foodwise all has gone to pot for several weeks now and I am so looking forward to picking up with PM again in the New Year - the plan is to get back on track from Monday - hope you'll all be joining me?

Take Care all and Happy New Year,

Flossie xxx

Unfortunately, my news is not good. The scan showed that baby had stopped developing at around 6 weeks. I now have to make the decision of what type of miscarriage to opt for. I thought I was prepared for bad news, but I wasn't really. At my girlfriends house licking my wounds so to speak.
I can't even face talking to anyone as I know I will just burst into tears!
Thank you all for your support at this time. ~Once I recover I will need to get back on track too. Weight-loss makes it easier to conceive, and also an easier pregnancy, hopefully. Next time.......

So....... everyone getting back on track yet? I see they are repeating PMK on Sky1 I think.
I am comfort eating badly at the mo. And I know I'm doing it. I am booked in for an ERPC on Friday afternoon, and TBH I want to eat cr*p for the next couple of days. It gives me a wee bit of pleasure. So all being well, next week I want to get going properly again. I'm just giving myself a wee bit of a break until this is all over.
So, are you all up for getting going again next week? Or have you all been good boys and girls over the festive period?????????????

Hi Rosie

Have started again and only put on 1.5lb on in the whole of December so I am pleased with that.

Funny I am sitting here watching the Paul McKenna programmes on Living from Monday, Tuesday and today as I haven't had a chance to watch them until now. One thing I have noticed since Monday since I started the programme again is my desire to get up and do stuff around the house which to be honest I couldn't be bothered to do over the past few weeks having been in hospital and then xmas being here.

I will be thinking of you on Friday. I had a D&C about three weeks ago as I had retained a piece of placenta after my miscarriage and I was bleeding badly. I really wish I had had the erpc at the time of the miscarriage as it would have avoided my latest spell in hopsital. Lots of hugs to you and your OH.

Look forward to seeing you back on here when you feel up to it.

I've spent the last hour or so searching the net for a support site for people following this system but funnily enough never thought to look here.
I used this system a few years ago and lost weight easily (can't remember how much) but then had kids and now I want to finally get rid of 40 pounds once and for all. I started on Monday and things are going well so far. I've set myself 3 target weights along the way, the first of which I reward myself with a cooked breakfast at this lovely cafe I went to several weeks ago. If that's not motivation enough I don't know what is!
I want to be slim and have a lovely figure like my younger sister but, and this might sound strange, I'm scared about it at the same time. I've never ever been slim so I don't know what reaction/ attention I might get and whether I will be a different person because of it. I would love to be more outgoing and confident but then that would be the complete opposite of what I've been my whole life. Does anyone else have any similar worries or concerns?

Maisie I didn't know about your m/c - so sorry to hear it. Likewise Rosie I am sorry your news wasn't good either. What can I say it's pants (well would use another few choice words but would censor them) I hope you guys are looking after yourselves emotionally as well as physically xxxx

Mrs-D - welcome to the thread. I don't have concerns about me changing personality wise - I have enough issues about just staying motivated to lose weight :rolleyes: I would just concentrate on one thing at a time. I don't think your personality will dramatically change with the loss of weight - you might feel better about yourself (which is only a good thing). You said you lost weight before - did you feel you suddenly changed personality then?

As for me feeling fat and ate far too much over Christmas. Sleeping issues with the kids is making me sooooo tired all I want to do is eat. Still time to pick myself up and carry on. Again. One day I will not feel like a hamster on one of those little wheels :rolleyes:

Hi again and I'm so sorry that so many people on here are or have been poorly. Here's hoping 2010 will be a better year for all of us.

As far as PMK goes... I'm nearly at the end of the 90 days but have stopped countless times due to illness/laziness. I really haven't given it much attention at all as as a result have only lost one and a quarter pounds since I started . The upside is that I feel less tense around food, so that is a good thing. The plan is to carry on til the end then start the 90 days again, and maybe keep a diary too.

Mrs D - I lost a lot of weight at the end of my teens (and have kept most of it off since) and don't feel that my personality really changed. Hope that helps.

Morning all!!!!
It's the start of a new week, and the start of a new me (I hope).
I am determined to change some things, my inherent laziness being the first thing!!!! I have stsrted this morning with a big glass of water, and have had 2 cups of coffee so far. Going to go in a minute and make a bit of toast, as I genuinely feel hungry. I am going to follow PMK and actually put the toast down between bites.
