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!

Blimey has this thread gone quiet ! Helloooo anybody there morning to anyone who is

Good afternoon ppeatfruit and everyone :)

hello friendly we must be the only ones by a compooter!

Hello, I have just returned from work. Epic high sugar eating day but DSis is dragging me out for a run later!

Have a good run Have I power walked this morning but it exhausted me for the rest of the day so been on here too much !!

Hello all. But quiet on here lately. I was too tired to walk on Monday night, probably because it's turns out I'm up the duff

I've said it on t'other thread Faith but WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW

I am so SUPER-mega-uber excited for you.

Sorry for absence - been mega busy with, well, I don't know what really. Just seem busy! Pauling has been, erm, intermittent (I always find stressful days with the minibiscuits = emergency biscuit scoffing whilst hiding in the kitchen ). But v v slowly the weight is creeping down. V v slowly though. Think it would go a bit quicker if I could apply myself (said in my best school report voice ). Lots of fluctuation (to be expected) but it's like the average is down to 13st 9 rather than that being the lowest iyswim. Lowest now is 13.8 so a gradual downward trend. Must try harder to make it a definite downward trend though. Had to give up listening to the CD in bed though as DS2 not sleeping well (teeth) and it disturbs him. Not long until he can be shuffled off to his own room though and then I can have Paul back

Oooh Faith what do you think will happen about your op for Sept?

I really don't know! Depends if they view it as 'essential'. I'm going to go to GP to discuss it all.

OMG Faith that is amazing news!

Pauling on and off here, not managing to exercise. I am struggling with the lack of routine because it is the holidays I think.

Ali the holidays have knocked my routine off.

Aside from no exercise (but there has been no exercise since ds2 was here) I also can't seem to get any cleaning done

Still at Faith's news

Wow congratulations faith and there was me waving to you on another thread and I had no idea. Really pleased for you

My Pauling has completely gone out the window but I've fished the book out and going to have a read in a bit once I've fed the DCs. Also I need to listen to the cd more. I usually listen to it after I get out the bath while I dry off but I'm having more showers as I've joined the gym so getting washed there. So need to find another time to listen to it.

On a positive note I've not put any weight on so I'm still able to say I've lost half a stone with the PmK WOE so it's not all bad.

Thanks all :) I realised its difficult to visualise yourself at your ideal weight when you know you're going to grow a baby bump in the next few months! The nausea is certainly helping me go off food rapidly though! I'm planning to keep walking - I'm 13st 2lb so I've lost most of my holiday weight. I know I can't 'diet' while diffed but I figure I can try to Paul and eat healthily.

I think that's pretty good overall RUTH, to lose half a stone and maintain. How many diets would help you achieve that? None! So you know the PMK WOE works, just time to refocus.

OOOOOh Have we're going to have a little P.M.er Hooray !!!!! many Congrats have You're name has worked hasn't it ?

Also Well Done to you all for KEEPIN' TRUCKIN' this thread has really cheered me up I'm on my own and not doing enough housework 'cos i'm on here too much (still Pauling though). Going to the market in minute. While it's cool.

And I was tempted to change my name recently! I do think losing done weight probably helped with things. Hope the market was fun! :)

Yes it will've helped and the healthier eating! The market was brill thanks I've got a selection of fresh fruit that needs to be eaten quite quickly - mirabelles (which are the sweetest little yellow plums) that only seem to be sold here in Fr. peaches, reine claude plums that are like greengages but sweeter (they're all picked ripe which makes them taste 100% better than Brit supermkt stuff) Oh and the first of the new season black grapes All unsprayed! The market always reminds us why we're here

Hello. Hope you are all OK.

Haven't read the whole thread since I last posted (been on hols, not ignoring you) but had to find the source of all the s and I can see why.

Congratulations Faith! That is absolutely bloody marvellous. I shall add my own .

Hope you are OK and feeling well.

Hello BBB nice to hear from you! Yes it's good news about Havea's little P.M.er

Hello ladies!!! back from sunny/windy Norfolk. Only gained a 1/4 of a lb, so not unhappy with that given what I've eaten!! got extremely drunk on Sunday night which I never do!! not a drinker at all, so extremely embarrassed!!!

HALF!!! Wooo HoooooooOOOOOOOOoooooooo!!! Congratulations! what has Mr HALF's reaction been?! so, so pleased for you :)

Catch up with everyone soon.

solo 1/4 lb is nothing! That could just be a glass of water! Brilliantly well done! Did you just keep applying the Paul rules while your were away?

Mr HALF was very cautious initially, it's just been so long we scarcely believed it. But now I'm 2 days past when AF was due, pretty strong symptoms of nausea and fatigue so we're starting to adjust to the idea. He is very happy! We know it doesn't solve all our problems and we're still going for the counselling because we've made mistakes and said things that we can't take back that we need to discuss and forgive each other for. But me being pregnant gives us something positive to focus on. I had underestimated how much the infertility had affected us. Even yesterday we were in a shop and saw a Mum and daughter (I'd say about one - just about walking, not quite talking) who was so gorgeous and instead of feeling despondent we were getting excited saying that's what we're going to get! :)

Hi Solo - nothing less than a 0.5lb counts you know. I don't reckon you have put anything on.

So did you do anything you regretted whilst drunk?

I had a post holiday weigh in and seem to have lost about 1.5lbs.

I reckon it is the activity as I have broken my rule of not snacking in the weekday evenings quite badly. Too much birthday chocolate left! I really ought to move more, not just eat less. It seems to be the key.

Having said that, I don't remember being stuffed at all. We ate out quite a bit but I have been having the 'light bites' options just because I didn't fancy any more and so I could have desert. Maybe that is the way to go when eating out although not all restaurants have the option do they?

Nice work BBB! You could have your cake and eat it! The other option is to order a starter to come with the other main meals or a child's portion.

So I have completely lost my appetite, is that normal? Not just because of the nausea, I just have to push myself to eat. Maybe partly due to the heat too?

Faith, ime, it is perfectly normal to lose you appetite. With DS1 I had nausea for a few weeks but even when that had gone at about 10 weeks, I would be hungry, manage about 5 mouthfuls and I had had enough. DS2 was a bit different but still had no appetite. Ultimate Pauling. The second trimester my appetite was back to normal. You have to make what you do eat count, I suppose, for your body's sake rather than the baby who won't need much just yet. I was in early pregnancy in autumn/winter but the heat knocks my appetite even if I am not pregnant.

All the weirdness is worth it though. Sometimes. When they are asleep.

Morning All!!!! BB yes the key is move more along with P.M. deffo. IMO

I agree - you can see weight loss just following the rules but if you want significant results, moving more will make that difference.
