Paul McKenna "I Can Make You Thin!"

ReenaSidhu

Hiya! Im so glad too to have found this thread, many of the other forums and blogs about PMK are old, and Im beginning to worry like yourself upsy daisy about where the earlier people posting are and whether it was too hard to follow, really want a long term plan..
I tried to resist weighing myself but couldnt help it, need to chuck the scales away, only thing that'll stop me, I was the same weight as a few days ago so sts! I feel great today, dont worry about food all the time, when to have a shake etc.
Thanks Goldengirl, have had a good day, gonna do some wiifit later on, feel calmer and less manic. More in control, and chucked away half of my lunch and so surprised at how little I need to eat according to my body! Like yourself I find cambridge really quite bad with maintenance, its a quick fix and I just binged and thought oh Il get it off with a few days of cambridge, not healthy or sustainable. Just wondered how much it worked for you, weight or size wise, as you've been on the same diet, would give me some hope :-)

Rosie Im loving being hungry and bloated and sick! I look forward to being hungry, LOL!
Hope everyone's good, lets have a brilliant weekend! (hugs)

Hi, I think I was one of the earlier posters. PMK was great and I lost over a stone in the 75 days I was on it. I just got out of the habit over Christmas and have been meaning to get back to it ever since. I will get back to it, and it was great but once you forget the rules it's just as difficult to get back into as any other diet. I would still recommend it, and will get back into it very soon!!!

Wow, thanks mintymoneysaver, thats encouraging, well done! You've doing great :-)

Ive just joined this site and wanted to reply to your and Golden Girls worries. Ive followed PMK system for 5 years I lost 2 stone and have kept 2 stone off . I eat what I want when Im hungery and stop when Im no longer hungry . My tastes in food have changed I no longer want or really enjoy bread or cake but eat and enjoy chips and rice which I never really cared for plus now I love cream which I never really liked before . My level of exercise hasnt really changed the only thing I do differently is use the stairs at work . I dont do any formal sort of exercise in any way at all . The system really works its when people stop applying it that faliure happens. BUT even then its just as easy to start again knoing it will work again .I listen to the CDs regularily at night .
Hope this helps. B XX

I really want this to work for me...but I was finding it really hard to judge when I was hungry, to the point where I was waiting for tummy rumbles but I was hardly eating and it was making me tired and grumpy. Do you wait until you feel empty? I am more used to this concept now than eating because it should be dinner time if that makes sense, so I think I can make it work if I can crack this when am I hungry question. x

Wow:T Thats amazing B, well done. Thankyou sooo much for posting, you have no idea how much that has helped, makes me realise it works! I dont have a lot of time for going gym and stuff with three little ones so this plan sounds perfect, I just worry I get hungry too often? Is that a problem?
Tadaa hon I think you're not eating enough maybe? Sorry, dont wanna advise as Im so new to this myself, hopefully someone else can help?:o

Nice to see a few of us here
I just want to lose weight and keep it off
My first (teenage) experience of WW left me with an eating disorder wherein I started to feel foods were good or bad, I became obsessed - then I started hiding bad foods and wham bam before you know it I was sneaking out to buy foods and bingeing, overdoing the bonomint ( chewing gum laxative) and when I wasn't bingeing I was sat on the loo pooing out all my electrolytes - why I didn't have a cardiac arrest is beyone me
Do they still sell bonomint (laxative chewing gum) and ex lax (laxative chocolate)
Anyway, I can say that dieting and slimming clubs are bad for you
I remember a holiday in New York in 1987 - 2 weeks with 2 friends - we ate what we felt like eating, we drank what we felt like drinking, when we got back I hadn't put a pound on.
Last winter I spent 5 weeks in S Africa with DH and the kids, 5 weeks without scales (or telly) we ate what we wanted, I drank at least 1 bottle of wine per day - when I got back I hadn't put a pound on.
There has to be a lot to be said for life beyone scales

I think scales are bad for ones health and diet - I'm going to put mine in the back of DH car and therefore can only get them out when I'm ready to stand on them in front of DH - about once a fortnight.
Looking forward to really embracing PMK (not literally, I hate his accent) and losing some serious weight
I went to Next tonight, I have £42.50 left on an old gift card. At day 30 I am going to get weighed and go and have a blowout in Next.
Past experience has shown me that eating what you want when hungry works, my problem is the diet industry, supermarkets etc have convinced me that I should listen to them more than my body
Yet my body knows better.
This isn't a sprint, it's a marathon - but I will get the best prize of all - me!!!

Did I read this wrong? Or did you mean to say NOT bloated and sick????
I am enjoying a 'righteous hunger' if that makes sense. And for those who are money saving while we are doing this...... you don't need to throw food away. Take a smaller portion, if it's yummy, put the remains back in the fridge til you feel like more later. I share with my toddler, or older one. If I am having something that they like too, I give them the last bit if they want it.

Hiya sorry, oops, no I mean rather than being bloated and sick! I just love being normal hungry, but have had abit too much for brekkie today! I just maybe stop before Im properly full and get hungry straight after, dunno, anyone else worked around this? Have had lots of water though, how's everyone else doing?
