Hi Immis If I'm going to be totaly honest all over the place........ I had planned to continue with the program after the 8 weeks, having lost 33lbs in that time. But I never got there, it was as if I had been sabottaged after having a few weeks off the strict regime. I put a little weight...

This a post I put on geordie90's page the other day, I hope it helps. There are lots of links to the Newcastle info on the thread ''Defatizing with Slimfast Gunk by Bob'' from bowell. The gastric band is not always the answer, but is a good helper with portion control. I have never been on any...

Hi All it's been a while since I was last on here but just reading through this page made me want to reply to geordie90 about body image. 7 years ago I went in for a gastric band op of my own choosing more for the health issues I was facing at that time. I lost 4 stone in 3 months and on one...

Hi Bob lovely to here from you this week and so pleased you are going strong with the plan. I made a decision to relax the plan for a couple of weeks ( I have had a bad cold and felt really rough) and then restart it. I have to say so far so good. My Bgs are very constant at around 5.4 no...
