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!

Morning All I'm busy ATM 'cos DM is staying with us but congrats on the loss Sols happy holyers and Olympics to all; TBH I'm pleased to be a way from the whole thing (we enjoyed the opening ceremony[smile ]

AF has arrived, hurrah! Awful pains, but I feel less bloated already.

Faith I think the key to a successful extended family holiday is having a bit of space from each other!

Well that's good news Ali! Aside from the pains, at least you'll get a clear weigh in when she's gone.

Yes we have had the morning apart, DH and i I lazing in the camper and had a bit of a heart to heart admitting the last few months have been very tough on both of us and our marriage I feel a lot better for admitting that to be honest. Particularly since being unhappy triggers off my stress eating.

Aww Faith it is good to have that conversation. We had an awful few months after DS2 was born, a lot of it down to tiredness because the little darling didn't sleep and still doesn't. Loads of arguments, which really upset all of us including DS1 and it was horrid. We had a chat one day, basically said 'WTF has been happening, this is shit' and it really helped.

I was getting a bit twitched about the absence of AF. We were, very stupidly, less than 100% careful a couple of weeks ago As much as part of me would love another baby, a bigger part is very happy as we are.

:) My AF is just diminishing now...It's day 11 and the second visit inside a month.

Glad things are looking up for you Ali and HALF and thanks :) pp ~ Back atchya! Sorry HALF that your campervan hols aren't as good as they should be :( and that Dad is selling up

Happy 1st of August everyone!!

It's FartBlossom here under a new name.

Well done solo

Do you always lie down to listen to the CD? I do but it means I only get chance 3 times a week or so, I'm wondering if I should put it on while doing something else like reading or MNing obviously I would't be hearing it all properly, but surely some of it would go in wouldn't it?

Also what is OTBT and why is the moany thread there?

We're thinking of getting a camper van in the future when we have money to actually go somewhere

Going swimming tonight tried to go this morning but I got there 20 mins before it was shutting. I was rather annoyed with myself as I didn't check first. It's an half hour round trip in the car. Also I'm tempted to join a gym next week there is a good offer £20 a month till the end of the year then come jan there is no contract so when it goes to full price (£40) I can decide if it will be worth it. Just waiting till after the MOT to pay for the joining fee

Oooh! like the nc RUTH :) good abbreviation too!! I usually lie down to listen and often fall asleep...not sure that doing other things would be helpful though, unless it's something mundane like washing up, vacuuming or similar; maybe that'd be ok.

I need to listen again and do some more visualisation. Wish I could exercise.

Hi all! Yes I like that RUTH! My Dad has a lurvely camper, 8 years old, big Fiat Suntor. He is selling because he's obsessed with money worried about depreciation. We plan to buy an old one between us. Not a cool old vw one (they cost over £10k), an uncool 80s one! For about £4-6k. Won't be as big but should be fun and we won't have to worry about my Dad threatening to sell all the time!

I've only ever listened to the CD in/on the bed. Sometimes I do it in the end if I have time and need to relax but usually I do it at bedtime. I tend to wake as he says 'wake up' (and go for a wee!)

OTBT is Off the beaten track. A quiet part of MN that doesn't show in searches. We have a moany thread in there to stop us clogging up this thread with non-food related moans!

I think I'm doing ok in holiday. Cycled a fair but the first few days and swam a bit today. Been lured in by sweet snacks a few times but not as much as I would have in previous years.

Thanks for the liking my new name. I did have a couple of others I was thinking of (BananasOnBranflakes and CompingAddict), but I like the fact that it does make me Ruth (even though that is not my name in RL)

Thanks for the explanation of OTBT. Will check that thread out at some point. I like to have a good moan me

Of to bed to listen to Paul then to swoon over Dean Winchester watch Supernatural.

Bad day today and I'm now sitting up in bed drinking a Whiskey Mac...

Morning all!! Put down that whiskey sols it won't do you any good believe me

Hello all.
Sorry not been on thread much. I think I accidentally hid it.
Just to say, still here. Pauling on and off, as very busy and not had time to listen to CD enough. Will post more later.

Hi Mardy love the Olympic nc :)

I need to listen again too...a week to go until my week in Norfolk! and really wanted to be back at 13st...however, if I could be 13st 4lbs, I'd be happier.

Found out today that Mum has been buying slimming pills despite the fact that I gave her a copy of all the discs to listen to have encouraged her to listen to PMK. Really angry at her because she seems to have wasted so much money this past year and she wont listen to me or learn from her own mistakes. I've had to bail her out with my new flat roof money. Grrr!!!

Likewise with your name Solo. Right. I have 25 mins spare. Am going to listen to trance.

How annoying about yr. mum sols it sounds like my DH he buys every slimming book under the sun and never bothers to actually listen to the P.M. C.D.s or read the book . worse for you to have to bail her out

Hi everyone! BTW

Hello. It is my birthday so I have eaten cake, been out to lunch and plan to eat some chocolates later and for one day I don't care.

It's only one day a year (thank goodness - don't want to get older any faster) so I am having the day off from even thinking about food.

I listened the CD yesterday for the first time in ages so I am not all bad.

Happy birthday BBB! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I'm back from holiday a few lb heavier if the scales are anything to go by (though need to check first thing tomorrow). DH is over tired and feeling rough so I'm just watching some Olympic coverage.

It sounds like you had a fun birthday BB remember we're none of us all bad EVER!!!!
Hope yr hols were okay havea i can always tell by my clothes and the mirror if I've put on a couple of lbs so I restart P.M. more carefully and THEN look at the scales it's less of a shock IYSWIM!

If you can't have a day off on your birthday when can you? Happy belated birthday though.

Sorry to hear about your mum solo I would say leave her to it, but if you are having to bail her out you can't really sorry I'm not much help there.

Just listened to Paul and for the first time in weeks I actually fell asleep I usually hear it all although my mind does wander a lot. Does anybody else find themselves thinking of completely random things? Mind you I never have a clear mind and I am always thinking is this normal?

Need some luck dust this way please as my car is in for it's MOT on wed and I've applied for a few jobs today. I hate MOT time we have £500 put aside but we would like to be able to afford to do more with the DCs over the hols

I will go to the moany thread and tell more about my Mum if anyone wants to know...

Hope you had a lovely birthday BBB :) and HALF I hope your trip away was great!

RUTH I'm often unable to clear my mind, but usually I have fallen asleep whilst listening to Paul...I'm afraid I'm not much help atm.

pp hows it going with your Mum?

Morning everyone :) Weekend away here so more food and booze than a normal day.

BBB Happy Birthday, hope you had fun :)

Ruth I struggle to clear my mind too, although I find that if I really concentrate on the counting backwards then that stills my thoughts.

Solo oh that is rubbish about your Mum :( Is your brother in a position to help you help her - IYSWIM? Seems hard that you have to worry about her when things are tough for you too (((hugs)))

Oh - DS1 is staying with my parents. He went home with them from my brother's house yesterday (we were all there for the weekend) and Mum is bringing him back up on Wednesday. I miss him :( He normally climbs into my bed in the morning and gives me a big cuddle and snuggles down for a little snooze :(:(

AAh yr. DS1 sounds lovely Ali. Well I'll see you on the moany thread about my mum Sols Nah she's not THAT bad!

I am 3 on the hunger scale and waiting for DS to get back from Tescos with some lunch. It's going to taste so good. Must remember to eat slowly.
