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!

BigBoobiedBertha · 19/12/2012 13:10

Oh I say! Solo!! You're a dark horse. You've bagged yourself an early Christmas pressie there girl! Xmas Grin

I wonder what you'll be unwrapping under the Christmas tree this year, Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

Seriously, well done for taking the bull by the horns and asking him out. I hope he turns out to be a keeper (if that is what you want of course). I have to say, on first summation of the facts, your jobs match. It could be a sign.Xmas Smile

BigBoobiedBertha · 19/12/2012 13:12

Oh and well done on the 6 1/4lbs. Nice one. Xmas Smile

Dottiespots · 19/12/2012 16:23

Awww. Solo....what a lovely story...went on your link and was reading out when you went to the Harvester stuff and the kiss bit etc to my daughter and we were both going....."awwwwww" !!!! with stupid grins on our faces. Shes 22 by the way and just got engaged. Must be so exciting and soooo good for the ego to have a man chasing you again and all the dating stuff....well done you for going for it. And thanks...."O Come All Ye"....i will definately re read the book and listen to tape now cause its really seeming to be in my head properly this time and your right....Im sure I will do some mindless eating now and then but as long as i dont start thinking of doing "diets" I will be ok. Thanks for this thread ladies.....brilliant.

TheDoctrineOfSnatch · 20/12/2012 19:02

Yay SOLO!

GoodKingWenSOLOslas · 20/12/2012 23:48

Second date tomorrow night ladies!! he has two Dd's 16 and 21, not living with him. Don't know much else atm, but I'll work on that for you all Grin!

Dottiespots · 21/12/2012 01:39

oooooo another "date". How lovely. Please tell us everything!!

BigBaubledBertha · 21/12/2012 10:15

Come on then, spill the beans Solo. Where you going? What are you going to wear? Have you prepared a list of question to satisfy the curiosity of a bunch of nosey women off the internet? Xmas Grin

I've been married over 19 years - feeding off the crumbs of excitement from those who are going through the first dates stage is about as close to romance I as I get these days.

ppeatfruit · 21/12/2012 12:26

Hope it goes swingingly sols! Play a bit hard to get to whet his appetite it used to work for me (she says reminiscing in old gimmer fashion!!) Xmas Grin

ppeatfruit · 22/12/2012 09:21

I'm off to have Xmas on your side of the channel tomorrow in London; wish me luck with the journey! We're driving so at least not hanging about airports and stations may well come up against some flooding though.Hope you ALL have a LOVELY CHRISTMAS and get exactly what you want (esp. Sols)!!
When we return we're having a NYE party so may drop in here fleetingly if not I hope you also have a great New Year Xmas Smile Xmas Smile

OComeAllYeFaithBaby · 22/12/2012 09:49

Merry Christmas ppeat! Xmas Grin

Come on then sol, we wanna know how you got on?!

Dottiespots · 22/12/2012 15:05

Maybe, just maybe, their having a late brunch????!!!!!(know what I mean he he) I dont know how to work these smilie things.....heeelp.

TheDoctrineOfSnatch · 22/12/2012 18:15

Hi all, I'm on holiday and weirdly finding it easier to do PM, the waitress insisted on boxing up the half pizza I didn't eat though, in a way that's a good thing as I can now just throw it away without reopening the box and I had a clean plate before I left the table!

I'm learning a lot from watching DS2 - when he's had enough, he says so and stops, doesn't want a change of food eg to pudding, he still says no. I'm also trying to remember that other people's leftovers are Not My Problem - my mum usually clears any unfinished plates, including half-eaten kids' sandwiches and there is just No Need so I mustn't do the same.

Solo, whilst I am Randomly Capitalising, what's the Gossip??

OComeAllYeFaithBaby · 22/12/2012 18:38

Doc, that's breakfast! Mm leftover pizza!

We've just had a takeaway curry delivered. Absolutely delicious and I was really hungry for it. Guilt free! Xmas Grin

BigBaubledBertha · 22/12/2012 19:10

Where's Solo?! Come back - we want to know what happened.

Ppeat, if you are still around, happy Christmas to you too. See you in the New Year.Xmas Smile

Dottiespots · 22/12/2012 20:54

Well done TheDoc.....where are you on hols? Im still doing really well. Im really really not overeating and reminding myself as Im eating to be in the moment and mindful . If I dont concentrate as Im eating I find I just eat without thinking about it and then I would overeat. Find I am not eating much at all with this woe but Im not complaining. Hows everyone else doing?

GoodKingWenSOLOslas · 23/12/2012 01:51

Haha! no! no brunch and no goss! you need to go to my link as it tells all there! Xmas Wink
3rd date agreed upon! was a lovely Friday night; he holds doors for me and car doors and everything! Sooo, nice!! Xmas Grin...

GoodKingWenSOLOslas · 23/12/2012 13:25

7 1/4lb off! yippeeeeeeee! convinced it's the kissing that's doing it! Grin

OComeAllYeFaithBaby · 23/12/2012 21:51
