Thread 10 already for the Paul McKenna's Paulettes, losing lbs with No Pain! No Pain!! and Definitely No Calories, No Syns, No Humiliation. Come and Join In To Lose Weight With Supportive Friends!

[Solo]

Welcome to thread 10 of the Paul McKenna's I Can Make You Thin weight loss system.

The Golden Rules that will aid you on your journey with our like minded support system are:

1. Eat what you WANT
2. Eat when you are HUNGRY
3. Eat CONSCIOUSLY
4. STOP eating when you are satisfied and full

This weight loss system is about re-educating your body; learning to listen to it and in doing so losing weight and inches. So forget diets; they may work for a while, but they aren't permanent solutions. This is a new way of living for your brand new life!!

The Paul McKenna system really works and is easy to maintain.

I've C&P'd our previous threads links as they are helpful.

Here are the book choices on AMAZON which is all you need to get started! they aren't compulsory, but they do help! it's something to refer to and listening to the cd's can really focus you.

This is the tapping technique EXPLAINED - this can be useful to combat cravings.

You don't have to buy the book and CD, but we have found that they do help and somehow they keep you on track, so it would probably be a good investment and will cost you far less than a couple of trips to WW or SW meetings, so do consider having them in your life.

Please feel free to join us, whether it's 10lbs or 10 stones you want to lose.
We are friendly, supportive and successful, but we're not hungry OH NO we're not!!! so come on in and start living your new life today!

OOOh lucky you ali I love dressing up.

Hello Oldies and Newbies.

Just spent a week helping with holiday club at church. 10am to 1pm only thank goodness but I am shattered!! The weather of course doesn't help but nor does all the dancing around and running around after the little monsters children. We had 2 boys in our group (yr 4) who have been an absolute pain in the arse. I knew one of the had some learning diffculties but the other one was a pain even though his mother was in the room running yr R. I only found out today that in fact he has ADHD. It would have been helpful to know that at the beginning of the week.

Anyway it was a good week, it has flown passed but I completely get about the hot weather throwing your eating out the window. Heat kills my appetite and I just don't fancy eating at all. I end up realising that I haven't eaten for hours and having to force myself to eat because I still don't feel like it. You'd think the weight would drop off but no (couldn't resist a sneaky peek this morning). It is the same as last week.

Will catch up with the thread properly soon but happy weekend to everybody.

I have listened to part of the cd again today.

Odd thing and it shouldn't be a surprise to me after going through it before after the seminar, but my appetite has lessened again. I've eaten so little and realised that I'm just not hungry :)
Shame I didn't get back into it 6 months ago; I could've been at target by now. Ah well...I must keep on keeping on now .

HERE PP is the moany thread.

Shoulda woulda coulda solo! I'm always like that! At least you're doing it now and you recognise that if you focus you can do it :)
Nice to see you BBB! Sounds like you were pretty busy at the holiday club.
Ali I'd keep trawling vintage shops/eBay etc for dresses, I'm sure you can find something good. If its September you've got a bit of time.

Well, moment of truth this morning. I hopped on the scales (may have looked a couple of times but this is official weigh in) I'm 13stone dead! That's 6lb in 2 weeks I'm so chuffed and I'm halfway to getting my BMI under 30 now! I'm just determined to keep focused on holiday.

Happy weekend everyone!

Well done Have

No loss for me this week (in fact a 1lb gain) but I've been 'bad' the last few days (I had an Olympic eating effort last night in honour of the opening ceremony ). So I know what I've got to do - I just need to focus a bit more do I feel ok about it.

Morning All Congratulations Havea!! When i don't feel much like eating when it's hot i make a gorgeous summer salad soup (you just use the salad ingredients you like ; mine tend to be half an avoe, half cucumber, lettuce leaves, herbs etc. all chopped of course, spring onions and garlic to taste, the juice of a lemon, I also add the whole of a half of a lemon or lime, olive oil and or water or stock how much you use depends on how thick or thin you like it. Then using a hand held blender whoosh it all up in a bowl. I eat it with crunched up ryvitas or toast.

You can put in plain yoghurt if you like it creamier!

Sounds fantastic ppeatfruit :)

Just popping in to say hi. I'm still listening to the cd and still Pauling. Don't know why I've not kept up with this thread. I'm not following all the rules religiously but I have lost weight this morning I was 11st 9 and to think I was over 12 when I started. I will catch up in a bit when I get on the pc

Hello!

FB and Faith well done on the weight loss!

I have been a bit hit and miss, too much booze and munching on Friday night watching the opening ceremony!

Just getting the boys into bed and then I am going to listen to the CD and not fall fast asleep in 30 seconds I hope!!

Well done FB! I had my ups and downs, loosing and gaining but I'm trying my best and hope it will be a good experience. Good luck girls!

Ladies HERE is our second moany/chatty thread for non Paul McKenna related stuff :)

Solo what happened to the other one??

The OTBT threads only last 30 days Ali so I shall have to make a new one each month to moan on !

Thanks Ali! The OTBT threads go poof after 30 days.

Well I'm currently basking in the glorious sunshine watching the sailing at the olympics! No idea what's going on but it's fun :)

Ah I see, I wondered if we had been naughty!

Faith - I am Love watching the sailing. I have got it on now, Ainslie has got a fight on his hands here. Enjoy!

By the way...I've gone from 13. 11 3/4 to 13. 7 1/2. Just saying.

I went to the Olympic fencing yesterday and if I wasn't a hair's breadth away from being 46 and several stone overweight, I might just take it up myself. (We'll forget about the dodgy knees I've had since childhood). It was really good and very well organised and very entertaining. I have always liked the look of it as a sport. Very elegant in its own way.

I envy you being in Weymouth Faith. I really like it down there. We've have had a few holidays down there over the years and keep meaning to go back but there is always somewhere else to go. About 5 years ago we had some wacky plan to buy a holiday home there because you can get there for a weekend from our house and then we'd let it out at extortionate rates for the Olympics. Sadly we haven't had the required lottery win so that was the end of that plan!

Can you tell which boat is which from where you are?

Doing OK here with food and wotnot but it is that time of the month coming up again so I don't expect to lose anything this week. Had far too much cake yesterday but did a lot of walking around London so hopefully it won't be too much of a problem.

Congratulations to all the losers too.

For a completely non-sporty person I always enjoy the Olympics so Happy Olympics everybody.

(Just an excuse to use the new smiley really but enjoy all the same)

Cross post Solo. Well done!

Thank you :)

Solo well done, that is fabulous.

I am feeling a bit glum. Haven't managed to lose anything for about a month. I am sure that it is down to the return of AF, she is due any day - I think - but it is hard to know when I am still BFing.

School holidays aren't helping, I am spending too much time hiding from the DCs in the kitchen

Well done solo! Great work.

BBB you couldn't tell from one side (small flags) but when they turned the whole flag was across the sail. There was a big screen too. We cycled there are back (2.5 miles each way). I'd forgotten how hilly it is round here. I found it very stressful on my body. Not pleasant. Started to get easier though and I managed to cycle up the last hill to the camper. We're off into Weymouth tomorrow - DNephew wants to go to the 'seaside' :)

:) Let's hope it stays off and continues to come off. Must listen to a cd again tomorrow.

Wish I still had a camper van...

Sadly this is the last holiday we'll have in this camper as my Dad is determined to sell it. He's seriously tight very careful with his money. He sees this as a drain on his resources (even though we al contribute) so he's selling it in September. To be honest, we're sleeping in the awning and I don't think I'm willing to do it again. DH is whining complaining about how he doesn't sleep well. Fun as it is to be away as a family emotions are getting frayed!
