Hello Helen!!
I hope ya'll don't mind me muscling in on your WL diary, I had no idea you had one. I never come onto the WLD section - I am glad I have now, I was absentmindedly perusing and came across Helen's Quest and saw HP Saucy!
So I have just spent the last few lunch periods (and some!) catching up on your diary - I must say you have a fabulous tight knit group of friends - Hello Helen's Friends :wavey: !!!! You seem all lovely and wonderfully supportive.
Helen I am so sorry you are suffering with your hip, when you told me about your accident last year and that you had to stop your C25K training, I just assumed you were better now. I hope you get some positive results about what this all is soon. I see your consultant thinks it could be arthritis which is horrid. I am no Doctor and do not claim to be, but a friend of mine at work suffers from it in her back and she started taking Glucosamine everyday and she felt a lot better within a few months. My mum suffers from it also, but when I mentioned the Glucosamine she told me it wasn't scientifically supported and so will not try it. If you feel the same then fair enough, but I figured something herbal that COULD help you, may be worth a try. But, as I say, I am no expert on these matters.
Anyway I was also wondering, through reading your diary, what you thought of the Slim Pods and whether you think they can really help. My mind set on food seems similar to yours, I stuff my face without a conscience and then wonder why I did it. I figure that it is a brain defect and not a physical problem, so perhaps I could gain something out of these pods. I have also considered hypnotherapy, but am a little scared about it. I am a sneaky eater - big time - so I need to know why that is, is it something buried deep inside? ? I am very much the happy go lucky sunny person that you are, but I know I need to lose a few stone to get me out of the "scary weight" section. I am never going to be slim and I am happy with that, I have a lovely job, home and man, whats to feel sad about if I have a squidgy body, as long as I am healthy on the inside - but I do need to drop a few stone, if nothing else but to fit into all the lovely clothes I have vacuum packed and put away.
Anyhoo, I thought I would drop by and say Hi to all.

I have it if I'm driving. Make sure it's a wedge of lime though, you can squeeze it into the drink. Oh and it's normally free!(They charge if you have the lime cordial)
I'm not tight, just thrifty at times.
Lol! I used to drink sparkling water all the time but then got addicted to coke so now I'm off it I'll go back to it, lately I've been having soda & lime cordial but might ask for lime wedge next time like you suggested x

OMG you must have been bored to go through my diary lol but glad you found me.
The girls on here.. And Steve of course are all very supportive, so lovely and caring.
Thanks for the advice on glucosamine I'll definitely give them a go, my parents have been using homeopathic medicine for years, I tend to just use arnica and hay fever tablets but will try that, think I've seen they do a joint one with cod liver oil but my problem is I forget to take pills!
As for slimpods, well the answer is they haven't worked for me.. Yet! But that's because I didn't let them, really need to persevere and listen each and every night and write down positives each day, they had started to work and I almost didn't believe it and went back to my old habits.. Exactly the same bad habits as you (if you don't mind me saying that?!).
They've worked brilliantly for Jackie & Kally on here and others too, Chelle is fairly new to them but seems to be working really well, I'd say give them a go, can't do any harm as look how bad our habits are at the moment? A good few days and then blow it or an excellent day and then we ruin it in the evening.
Funny thing is last night I decided I was going to start afresh so listened again last night and filling in my notebook today!
Thanks for dropping by hun x

By some miracle I lost 2lbs last night! I don't understand, I wasn't fully to plan and ate so much, was expecting a gain! I really don't get SW sometimes, I stick to it religiously and STS, this week I was naughty and lost, not just a little in my eyes but a lot! Confusing??!!

Wow I misread then and thought you were saying you lost a little weight in your eyes!!! That's a new one on me!
Well done to you, like lsf666 (Hello fellow Essex Lady!!) says, don't question it - just take it and say thank you.

Well for the first time ever I decided to flexi syn on a night out, set myself a limit of 50 including my food for the day.. If I've worked it out correctly I had 51.5!
Feeling quite pleased about that, had I not done so many jägerbombs I would have been well under and also I'd still be asleep as the Redbull is keeping me wide awake!
Had a really good night, no other girls turned up so just me and the boys, no *****iness just a good laugh, unfortunately I couldn't stay out as long as I wanted but they didn't go home until about 2.30, I was in the mood for a late one too, so annoying! X
