    Good morning.

    I would be staving on that. I personally would bulk it out with loads of salad and more veg.

    Good luck x

      Morning Julie. I have started weighing my veg and having more veg. hopefully this time with potion control and weighing everything it will work I have also swapped what I have each day so my body doesn't get use to having the same foods. I didn't post again what I had been eating as I didn't think anyone was replying. I wish there was a more popular forum to go join.

      how are you getting on??

      hiya Nicola in think your right with the slimming world. how are you getting on 5 days in? I was thinking the weekend would be hard. But I've nearly made it. No wine though 😢 ill have a bottle when I get back to 10.10.!

      hopefully this will work this time round

      It is a white paperback book with alli wrote in different colours , it explains the tablets far better than the GP does , its based on tbe weaker strength ones but is the same diet

    I lost a decent amount at the two week point, now at just four weeks I'm stuck and not list anymore. At GPs tomorrow for repeat prescription. So fingers crossed x
