If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, then you’re not in business.

You’re in organized crime.

Sorry if I'm just being overly pessimistic but I just don't see that Oakwood thing having any legs at all.

I went Hemnes for those, and a TV stand and couple of cabinets. I'd say they are def worth the extra money over the Billy, much better look and build quality

Universal Great Britain small update

HM Government and Universal Destinations & Experiences now have an agreement
in principle that the resort/theme park project will proceed. It is expected that the
planning application will be submitted to HM Government in the summer, with a
decision expected in the autumn of this year. The company have stated that they
intend to construct the resort commencing in 2026, with an opening date in 2031.
The recent announcement is a very clear commitment to the project, which if
planning permission is granted later this year, would significantly impact on the
current Local Plan 2040.
In light of this the Council are currently reviewing the impact on the current Local
Plan 2040, and we will provide a more comprehensive letter stating our position later
this month. In accordance with the Council’s constitution, we will need to take a
report to our Executive on 18th June and Full Council on 2nd July to secure member
approval for the way forward but I will be able to provide a clear indication of the
direction of travel in my update letter later this month.

I knew this would happen this week, ate far too much 😂

James B - Desert Island Parks Podcast @desertislandparks.com · May 1

Little bit of running but nothing too much

James B - Desert Island Parks Podcast @desertislandparks.com · May 1

You taper off when hitting goal normally, although many have to go back on if the food noise returns

Thank you ❤️

If you can afford it I fully recommend it if you want to lose weight, but also you must understand the dangers. As you no longer think about food you must remind yourself to eat, this would be very dangerous if you are not overweight when starting.

If anyone has questions I'm happy to answer!

I do not eat healthy, most common for me is chocolate, crisps, chicken nuggets and potato waffles. I have averaged one run a week while losing weight.

You can eat whatever you want, as long as you stay under your calorie goal, different foods will make your body react differently. You will have dodgy stomachs and lots of acid reflux for a while but you get used to it.

There's no secret to weight loss, eat less calories than you burn each day, the injection works two ways; stops you thinking about food, and when you do eat it slows down digestion so you feel full quicker and longer.

I started Mounjaro about 6 months ago, going from 2.5mg to 10mg (going 12.5mg to shift last stone and a half).
My problem was I always thought about eating, almost instantly on my first weekly injection I stopped thinking about food.

Anyone who knows me is well aware I hate pictures of myself so this is stepping well out of my comfort zone but thought I'd write something to help anyone considering weight management injections.
