    Congrats margaret! Im very lucky that my parents put me and my sisters into swimming lessons from the word go and got us all to competition level, at which point I had had enough and decided i didnt want to be competitive and therefore there was no other level of lesson and stopped. Amazed by how many people my age that cannot swim and have taught friends and cousins along the years. Definitely well done to you, that sense of achievement is well deserved and should be cherished.

    Men and sensitive women....look away.
    I feel so bad right now. Have had to come off of all pills and am currently on day 11 of bleeding, this is a TOTM like no other and I just want to curl up and die.

    Due to the above...I have just eaten a huge bar of chocolate and am considering more. Not good considering how good I felt about yesterdays loss but im actually feeling like Im ill, am completely all over the place. Grrr.

    Hope you are all eating better than me!

    there are many sites dedicated to weight plateau, the tips and hints are handy to have and know, you are not alone, we all go through it and it seems amazing that short of complete starvation nothing will shift the weight but it will, in time, it will read up on it, get the ideas, put them into practice and see it come off again
    It was me there you go again, hope it helps:D

    We have had a huge interest and surge in selling of the alli tablets today, there were many that were not eligible as their BMI was not over 28 and one that looked like me but her BMI was 29:eek: I know mine but we ended taken bets on their BMI and every time I lost:rotfl: £60 for the tablets the book and a free glass scales lot of money to loose weight, it was in the daily mail and she said that she took it wrongly because her BMI was not high enough and should not have taken it and she had the most excruciating diarohea she has ever experienced:eek: that will teach her for not reading it properly and taking it for just wanting to loose a few 1lbs that and zotrim we have sold loads as that is scientifically proven to work :D amazing how many people out there that will take tablets rather than do it the hard way like us:D

    I made some wedges in the actifry last night with the rapeseed oil and they where fine which was surprising when you consider how healthy it is.

    Healthy AND delicious -- I may have to get an actifry. Do they take up a lot of space?

    I bought an actifry last month and must say I love it! Roast vegetables - enough for the whole family using less then a tablespoon of oil! Same goes for chips - lovely homemade chips - again using less then a spoon of oil! I find it fits nicely in the corner of my kitchen - it is approx 13" round circular shape.

    actifry are reasonably big, about the size of a steamer or small microwave oven

    but there not heavy so easy to put away, although ours lives out permanently as its used so much

    i can recommend the extra virgin cold pressed rapeseed oil, nothing else comes close to it for healthiness and being cold pressed there's no chemical extraction or chemical cleaning

    problem is you cant change the laws of thermal dynamics so the only way to loose weight with drugs is either interfere with the way the body works to stop absorption of the food in the gut, interfere with what the foods doing in the blood or to actively mess about with the brains chemistry to artificially suppress hunger or even worse interfere with digestion (or speed up the metabolism with something like an amphetamine ...)

    and in my mind there all options as bad as having a gastric bypass, in the past these types of treatments have lead to diarrhoea, depression, mood swings, interference with the body's ability to absorb nutrients, disrupted cell regeneration, accelerated bone loss and caused addiction and behaviral changes.

    Still so much better to shovel a magic pill in your mouth instead of putting the burger down ....

    Uhm putting the burger down seems a better option for side effects of hallucinating, severe headaches where you just can't walk, black hole moods, diarohea so severe there has been cases of not being able to get off the loo for up to 3 days:eek: seems to me putting the burger down is just fine:D
