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!

I was afraid you'd say that.

Hang on YOU said that originally BBB !!!

I know but you weren't supposed to agree with me!

You were supposed to say, 'nah eating less is all that it needs'.

How about this - yes, eating following Paul's rules will help you lose weight. Exercising will help. A combination of the two give the best and quickest results.

Think about it - exercise builds muscle, muscle burns calories - even at rest! So adding in exercise results in better outcomes. Before I went on holiday I walked 3-6k each evening and Pauled, I lost half a stone.

I made the epic mistake of getting rid of gone off milk this morning. Not good at the best of times but today I puked afterwards! not jealous!

Oh oh! shades of things to come have ! BBB I don't know if I've said this before on this thread but when i was in my early 40s rushing about with 3 DCs I gave up my ONE cup of freshly ground coffee a day and guess what I lost about 5 kilos with NO extra exercise at all!! What's even more interesting is when i have one every other week or so now it speeds up my metabolic rate. IMO and E its having something every day that isn't helpful for weight loss.

Drat, I don't drink coffee. Can't give that up.

Oh Faith, that isn't nice. Any job previously considered stinky and not nice has to be redelegated to the one who isn't growing an actual human who is apparently very sensitive to smells, i.e. DH. I think you might have to get him to do these things for a while. Let him earn his stripes as a Dad to be - it is a small price for him to pay.

Hope you are OK now. I know being pregnant isn't an illness but for a few weeks it certainly feels like it!

Oh Faith you have supernose! It is one of the very few things I miss about being pregnant, although obviously not for smelling yucky smells!

Struggling atm. It is too humid and the boys aren't sleeping well, so I am exhausted and shovelling in random food. Plus, I am not getting a chance to listen to the CD in the evenings - last night it was gone 11pm before we got DS1 settled to sleep

Do you do anything like tea drinking or wine\alc. drinking every day? that you could give up for a bit

ppeat - I am going to sound really boring but I don't drink alcohol at all, I don't like the taste and I have about 2 or 3 cups of tea a week. Mostly I drink water.

Ali I know about non-sleeping children and mine are 12 and 8 - they should know better than to bother their poor weary mother.. Little buggers darlings didn't go to sleep until after 2am the other night and kept wanting to share (not that I can sleep if I know they are awake). You'd think it got easier. At least they don't wake up in the winter and at least the summer is very short!!

I do wish DS1 would just take his socks off at night though!

Yes I do have supernose! So sensitive to smells. I had banana custard last night and I could smell the vanilla in it. Kept down breakfast (after milk debacle), lost half my lunch. I find it reassuring to remind me I am definitely diffed but I will be losing weight if this keeps up for a while.

I hear you with the poor sleep Ali, it's awful isn't it?

Faith - I lost weight in the 1st trimester with both of mine. Took until about 20-22wks to become heavier than I started out. I don't know if it was bothering you to lose weight but don't worry about it.

I wasn't even puking but on the other hand I am rubbish at forcing myself to eat if I am feeling ill. I was never one of those women who could shovel food in on the basis that they had to have something to come out again by the same route later.

So just being nosey now, what do you reckon your due is?

Have you seen the doctor yet?

It is, there is rather a lot of TV going on here today!

I found little and often to be a good way to avoid the puking. I used to feel hungry, think 'surely I can't be hungry again already', and then an hour later be starving, eat and vomit. Lovely

BBB don't say that I am hoping it is just the heat.

Ah ginger cookies are frigging awesome! I had managed two and an ice lolly. I'm not too worried about weight - I could obviously stand to lose a bit and I just read a thread where women lost weight during pregnancy.

I am due end of April. I cannot quite get my head round that part. I'm still getting from BFPs to pregnant state. Actually having a baby is another step of acceptance! Off to the doctor Thursday, I want to check all my medication is ok and get advice about my operation.

I luff my sleep. The sleep deprivation thing really worries me! :)

Little and often is the P.M. way isn't it? The sleep deprivation is something you get used to but TBH I just used to bf in bed and have L.O's cot\ cradle right by it so making as little interruption of sleep as poss.

Hello! Thought I'd join now ds is 9 weeks old.

Where to start? Please don't tell me I have to be organised......

Well you need to be organised enough to get the book and CD - can you do that?!

Hi - I'm Faith. Been Pauling since January and have lost some weight (few ups and downs) but am now 4 week pregnant squeeee so trying to apply the rules and not gain lots of weight! :)

Yes, it's on order

Excellent start!

Honestly, Pauling is the easiest way to lose weight ever. The book is helpful in enlightening issues and the CD is great for reinforcement.

Hi Starlight. No organisation necessary. If there was I wouldn't be here.

You probably don't even need to read the book as it really it is as simple as the 4 rules at the beginning of the thread. Having said that, I found the book focussed my thoughts and answered some of the questions that everybody starts out with. It is motivating. You probably can't do without the CD (even though I am rubbish at listening to it). It is important at the beginning, less so as the changes you make become more engrained.

I will be interested in whether you love or hate Paul McKenna's voice and delivery on the CD. It seems to be a bit of a marmite issue round here but, if like me, you don't like it, just hope that you don't actually hear any of it until he tells you to wake up at the end.

Sorry that was a bit of a negative paragraph about the CD.

It is very helpful and even though I don't like the idea of my head being messed with by a bloke with a stereotypical hypnotists voice, there is no doubt it works, even on a sceptic like I was.

Of course you might be one of the odd people who find his voice sexy.

Hello starlight No organisation required, mercifully

The CD really does work, even if you are a bit like I was at the start!

Oi!! BBB Paul McKenna is a sexy mayan!!

Solo - Ha! Thought an attack on Mr M's sexiness would get you back on the thread.

That other weirdy woman ppeat will be along in the morning to back you up I am sure!

How are you anyway? Have you recovered from your hols? Was it OK in the end? As I remember it, you were about as keen as me to go. Staying home alone seemed a lot more appealing.

Don't know what you mean B

Hols were Ok, very tiring, but quite good really. Thanks for asking. Am fairly exhausted now, but have brown arms and face.

Sometimes wish I could run away.

OI BBB other weirdy woman here morning !!!!!! yeah Solo (glad yr holyers were okay!) He IS a sexy maaaan and his voice is loverleee !!!!

When I put on the C.D. I lie back and go to sleep -trance- in a second and wake refreshed at the end, it's great IMO.

Welcome Starlight Don't be put off by us we may sound odd but we're smashing this is actually the nicest thread on MN. and we're proud of it aren't we?
