PAUL MCKENNA-I CAN MAKE YOU THIN

[bunny75]

Have just rediscovered Mumsnet and also dusted off my Paul Mckenna book for another go! I am probably a good 4 stone overweight and have been for a good 10 years. I hate diets and have little will power. I did this book a few years ago and lost half a stone in week 1 but didn't do the CD....I think that was the downfall. Am starting all over as of today.....anyone care to join me/offer any advice/been there before?

Hi all, hope you are all still at it! just back from a fortnight in Florida where everything comes with swiss cheese, fries and ranch dressing! Still kept at it mostly altho cheesecake was difficult to resist so had it for lunch a couple of times! Still weighed myself yesterday and am same as when I left YAY! So definitely works - keep up the good work girles x

yes still at it though mu cd has been chucked out with my old music system?old.I have eaten a Waitrose toffee apple tonight and it was brilliant.I can honestly say it is the first "bad" thing i have eaten since i started in January but i don1t feel i will suddenly go mad and start eating cakes etc.A few people have started saying i have lost TOO MUCH WEIGHT WHICH IS BLOODY ANNOYING

I'm so Impressed 2 weeks in Florida and still the same weight, well done!!! hope you had a lovely time...I'm still jealous!

Hi Vintage4 , you must have done so well, I pray for the day someone tells me I've lost too much weight!! I'm loving the guilt free eating I have to say and I'm no longer on and off the scales depressing myself, I'm also loving the gym which I would never have said before so I'm sure the cd's are working... can I ask how much you've lost?

hello all I've lost another 2 kilos so it's still going well! Also onto more protein less carbs. Yes emmie congrats arfur!!

Well done PP thats amazing! Have been really picking at stuff since back from hols but listened to cd at bedtime last nite to try and get back on track.

Have lost another 2 pounds since my holiday and am well chuffed as it now means Im below my usual sticking point where it normally all goes wrong. Hows everyone else doing?

Also I tried on a skirt and pair of trousers that I bought last year and have not worn as too small and they fit me now YAY!

That's really good arfur!! I'm still loosing and I've got a fab exercise for a flat tummy;Lie flat or legs bent up and pull up yr whole top half in a straight line.

Hello everyone!!! decided to weigh myself today and I've lost 8 pounds!!!!!!It's my birthday today so I'm gonna go a bit mad later at an all you can eat restaurant and have lots to drink.. Hope you're all doing ok

Well done emmie have a lovely birthday! sorry to sound mumsy on mumsnet!! but don't over do it!! I've lost another kilo so still doing fine.

well done PP, we'll soon be skinny minnies! Well didn't overdo it in the end as my husband forgot to book a table, plonker! so came home had slice of cake and 1 glass of wine... unfortunately I get over excited on birthdays ( I know you'd have thought I was 5 not 32!) so ended up falling asleep on the sofa.. great day though

Happy birthday Emmie and well done on the 8 pounds fantastic!

How's it going arf? is there anyone else there??

Thanks arfur

That exercise i described seems to have started much quicker weight loss and body sculpting try it arf and emm. Also remembering to keep belly muscles tight!!!

I'll give it a go, so you don't crunch like a sit up? how many do you do?

Start gradually do what you feel happy with; 2or 3 twice a day you can put one arm behind yr head then both when you get stronger.For the belly muscles count 10 to pull and hold for 5

Hello, my PM book arrived today, I've watched the dvd and have read the first part of the book. It all seems to make sense. So I was wondering how much weight I can expect to lose during the first couple of weeks. I have about 2 stone to lose to get down to a healthy weight.
TIA

Everyone is different so it's difficult to say how long it will take you. Congrats for starting and we're here to keep you at it

Thankyou

Hi VJay!! Cant wait to hear how get on

How's the exercising going emm?

I'm loving the gym at the moment (how weird) gonna get the wii fit out later.. think my baby is on paul mckenna, she's eating dairylea sandwich and fromage frais at the same time, cos she's hungry and obviously fancied it! how you getting on?

And the tummy exercises? I think that i've activated my tummy muscles and it seems to mean that i'm burning more calories than usual hooray !! Love to yr. LO's.
