Pauline is enormous again. What is going on. She did a huge campaign for LiterLite and was constantly on our TV screens, then everything went quiet and now we know why. She has regained every pound. So much for for the diet plan!! Has anyone used this diet out there in DS Land, have you regained every pound??

I think the key to weight loss is untangling your relationship with food and what it offers you emotionally.
Is she a smoker in real life?
Pauline is no different, and I think she's a fabulous actress, fat or thin. As long as she's happy, it doesn't matter a jot whether she's a size 8 or a size 18.
ETA: I love Pauline, no matter what size she is.
I saw that guy in the paper yesterday and he still looks overweight but worse if you know what I mean.
It's when you go saggy and baggy and look old that you have lost too much. Pauline did look quite old when she lost all the weight at first.
I reckon she more or less looked her age when she lost the weight. I think we get used to these very overweight celebs looking younger in the face because of the fat. Dawn French is another one who got accused of looking "older" when she lost a lot of weight. She didn't look old, she looked like a woman in her fifties.
As all are saying, the only way forward is to change your relationship with food completely. I've yet to meet anyone who has managed to maintain significant weight loss in the long term on faddy diets.
I believe both her and Linda Robson are real-life smokers, yes
That's because they have fallen back Into to their old ways and not continued with their new healthier way of cooking and eating.
Diets like Cambridge Diet, lighter life, slimfast etc are no good at all because nobody can live for the rest of their lives on liquids and little bars. This is what's happened to Pauline Quirke.
I know a woman who went on Lighter Life and lost about 6 stones in order to have a hip operation. They refused to do it until she lost weight. She was adamant that she would then eat sensibly and keep the weight off. She had the op and started eating normal foods again and got the taste back for all the foods she missed and the weight was all back on plus more in no time at all.
This. Don't understand what's so incomprehensible about it.
Less potatoes more veg like carrots and green beans.
You don't have to go without your favourites
Eat what you normally eat, but half the amount- you won't feel hungry after a while, you'll be used to it
If you like daily treat, eg bar of choc,
have it as a pudding, not between meals.
Drink water instead of squash , sparkling water instead of coke, small changes make a difference.
Have butter, but not thick, just a scrape. Slice cheese thinly
You are more likely to stick to this, and eat like it as a way of life , because you can have things you want not a diet
It's easy cash when you think about it.
Remember Fern Brtton and the Ryvita?:D:D
I had surgery in 2009 for a non-.malignant tumour in the colon and now have scar tissue which means I can block very easily so I have to reduce fibre and fruit, certain veggies etc which has made my diet very restrictive.
Obviously, controlling my weight is a health issue for me. Lots of patients with colon/bowel problems are overweight!!

I remember saying, re Pauline, that the sort of diet she was on, with milkshakes replacing meals, that when she went back to 'normal' food again she might put weight on again - specially after the mass press lost interest, cos of course, she was always being interviewed/photographed when she first lost all that weight. That alone would have been the incentive for her to keep the weight off.
But once that went away there was always a danger weight would creep back on. I dunno how true it was, but I saw a magazine before Christmas where it said she's lost 8 stone and put 4 back on.
I remember that woman from Steps (Claire was it?) lost a lot of weight about 4 years ago. And I also remember watching a programme about her and she was shown on the day she was going to go public with her new figure and she was going through torture with excercise to lose 2lbs or something like that. She said herself it was agony, but of course when she was in front of a camera it was all about how great she felt and how easy it all was, probably!
I'm always amazed anyone buys these 'celeb' excercise DVD,'s cos a lot of them probably put weight on on purpose when it's not natural to them, so that they can con people into buying their DVD of their 'easy' way of losing weight!
I've never dieted, and hopefully I'll never have to diet, but when sometimes I've gone up a kilo or two, I'll go out running again, and that so far provides my solution.. :)
