Hiya,

Same here i've change food around and having salad for dinner, i've cut out bread and joined a gym and go swimming more often. Same here can treat myself at the weekend only.

It's crisps and choc that call me! Well, most things do to be honest, but they are the hardest to resist. Went clothes shopping today, but didn't buy much as my size just feels too tight (I've not quite gone up one size), it was a bit depressing so I'm going to wait til I've shifted some weight then treat myself. I'm off to the local leisure centre later to find out what classes they do. In the meantime, it's lots of fish, lean meat and veg/salad. All very tasty, but not quite a mars bar! (BTW my cycle has bin changing to, 33 days and 40 days, am hopin it doesn't get any longer!) x

You can ignore my last message. I have just come on. Boo Hiss!!
Still holding on to the thought that maybe it had already happened.

Never mind, only seems to be a little bit out so I guess its just fingers crossed for next month!

I came off the pill a month a go, have no idea whether I have put on or lost weight!!

I'm still waiting for my first af (dunno if thats right coz I'm getting confused with all the jargon!)
It should have been Mon/Tues.

Anyone else had this?
Hi There,

I can definately tell that i've put weight on since coming of it. I too get confused with all the abbrieveations. Since coming of the pill my first period took 35 days and this one will probley to as i've past the 28 days again.
It might be the same for you as it takes a little longer for your cycle to work out. Its a pain i know.

Hiya,
Same here i seem to be hungry but trying not think about it, have started at the gym with my OH and swimming.Have found that once done that don't feel as hungry. Also i'm drinking loads of water to. We have the wii its quite good once get into it. Its just hard sometimes as you wish for it the day before as your going through it, hope that makes sense.
