Yeah, I think there are probably going to be some people who click with it more, who actually like planning everything and entering all the figures. I've just gotten so used to it, and so aware that I have little instinct for being right about how much I'm eating calories wise (or not eating enough, protein wise) without it, that it's become normal to me to weigh/enter everything. Am on maintenance now, and may stop using it at some point, but not for the foreseeable. But I do think you need to be pretty strict about it for it to be effective though.


Congrats on weight lost Mick Mac!

ah was only jesting MM. in fact it was a thinly-disguised cry for you to post more.


but sadly you won't be reading this as you have taken a forum vacation due to cyber bullying.


PS katanita - i don't think I am suited to planning everything and entering all the figues, my brain goes to mush by the middle of the week and I give up too easily. i think you are spot on in that some people will click with it more (and I fervently wish I was one of them) :)

Not even if he covered himself in Haagen Dazs salted caramel.

ok, only a day to go and I'm not quite going to get there. However this morning I was a new low of 12 stone 13.4 lbs so have broken the 13 stone barrier.


Will take stock now and decide if I'm going to go for the 12.7 in March - but you'd hardly see me if I was 12.7 so I'm having to think about that.


I'm rewarding myself with a big weekend watching rugby and drinking beer now. :)

Well done Mick Mac! Has anyone tried Slimming World? I've been doing it since 5th January and have lost 5lbs. I know it doesn't sound like a lot but given that I've been able to eat more or less what I want while following a few simple rules I think it really works. I'm pretty sure I could lose a lot more in a shorter space of time if I cut out my mid-afternoon chocolate bar and wine but I'm pretty happy with the pace so far.

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      By beansprout · Posted

      Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl…

      Looking for good wifi suggestions please!

      I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.

      I have Plusnet too.   I recently (August) had some problems with WiFi connection on different days but and the turning off and turning on didn’t work.  The WiFi didn’t work for quite a few hours - overnight in one case but eventually rectified itself.   Would be interested to know how much other people pay for Plusnet. I also have a landline with them as the mobile signal is bad inside house.  That is with EE and I want to change from them to another provider.
