How things can change in such a short time.....after the great weigh in I went out for a meal - had a little bit of bread, a 10oz sirloin steak, chips, a stuffed deep fried jalapeño & key lime pie :(( I haven't eaten since - that was my 2nd, 3rd & 4th shake for today - so tomorrow is day 1 of...

Well the 5th shake did me no harm - I lost the 6lbs I gained & 3 extra lbs - all in 5 days - amazing!!

I never knew that I should be doing this - mine have sagged - 1st diet that's happened to me coz usually I'm exercising & now I'm doing nothing. Ill be doing this in the morning!!!

I really wouldn't say you need to lose 14lbs! You are SLIM!! Out of interest have you exercised? You look toned up - and have you gone up steps? So increased intake & exercised to burn that off? Well done - you look amazing!

Does anyone else ever find themselves having an occasional 5th shake?? I had a week off last week for a holiday - put 6lbs on in 5 days which shocked me - straight back on it & I think I've lost them lbs this week - today is day 4 - hungry, cold, tired & just needed that extra porridge x

Well after being on this diet for 8 weeks and having lost 22lbs I went on holiday with every good intention of going up to step 2......I think I only had 1 shake during those 5 days. I ate potatoes, bread, scones etc for 1st time again - I are well but I wouldn't say I pigged out to an extreme...

Thanks for clearing that up!

I've lost 6 inches off my waist in 8 weeks.

Today was my 8th weigh in - I was 14st 0 3/4 when I started 8 weeks ago - I am now 12st 5. I was going getting too tight in size 16 after my Xmas hols & decided enough was enough. I am just trying on some old size 14's and they are now loose - so it's looking like I am now a 12. I am so pleased...

Well I've ordered 2 boxes of my favourites to try & save a few £££. I can't bulk buy on lemon bars as I would eat in a few days!! I have to say I have been on this for 8 weeks now - 4 shakes a day & I am really starting to find it expensive now, wages aren't quite stretching to end of month!!

My CDC has advised me that there is going to be a price increase from April of 10% or 6% dependant on the item. She currently charges £1.85 for sachets and £2.25 for Tetra's and Bars.

I've done it but I'm sure I read you should only have one - I'm slowing down buying the lemon bars for fear I will eat the whole 7 in 1 day!!

I wonder is a CWC on here can give us the clear guidelines on quantity of flavourings we are allowed - as people have been told different!

I am struggling to get back on plan - I'm not breaking things badly but I am certainly not in ketosis. I had 3 chocolates again yesterday after Sundays blip - and my 4 shakes. I've had 3 shakes today.......and met my friend for chicken tikka & green salad. It's not that I think I'll have gained...

I am doing SS+ 4 shakes a day. I feel a bit scared to stop the meds - the meds don't say they would aid weight loss just bring the thyroid function back in line - coz I was very hormonal before I got diagnosed coz it caused a few things to go off balance as a result of thyroid being under. I...

But don't you feel lifeless without your pills? I am only on 50mg levothyroxine and I notice it if I miss 2 days - I get tired & my brain fog gets worse than normal.....if that's possible!

After my blip yesterday I was 100% today until I ate 3 chocolates! I am out of ketosis I did a test - but I am hoping that my chocs today & yesterday don't cause me a painful journey back into it :((

Mine said I could drink the veg as much as I like - but I have seen different on here?

I've just ordered some Ketostix off EBay so I have them to hand to test myself for future.

I'm on my 8th week & have lost 22lb.

Whoops!! Just had 5 more chocolates.

I've done it today - I'm fuming! It was looking at all the chocs my mom got today - I've had 1 roses chocolate - 9 squares of fruit & but - and a small handful of Haribo's - I suppose there is no point in me asking anyone if you think this will knock me out of ketosis! So angry, I did the same...

I have an underactivethyroid - I been on this for 6 wks & lost 18 1/2lbs - like you I have struggled with my weight, the more I exercised & dieted with it, the fatter I was getting - but this is the 1st diet I have been successful on since diagnosed. It's defo slower losses than others on here -...

Having had a few very small slip ups last week - namely a large steak & Tomato's with the salad, a piece of chocolate cake & 5 chocolate Brazil nuts on wednesday, I knocked myself out of ketosis & boy don't I know it!! I have suffered with starvation pains for most of last week, something I...

My CDC has said that I can drink as much of the vegetable water as I like each day - but the book says different?

Yep I agree that must be what has happened, I am going to do a test at weigh in tomorrow & pull my reins back in - I suppose it should only take 5 days........ It's the Big Mac floaters I am getting in my eyes that are bugging me lol. I'm craving things I've never bothered with before grrrr!!

PS. I am on 4 shakes a day, I have on a handful of occasions had 2/3 shakes & some chicken & green salad this week & last but it only makes me hungrier after - I need to get back on 4 shakes only...........please help!!

I was so focused & strong up until I had my 1st treat day Glastonbury Friday - a Mexican meal with work & I had a side salad for my starter, then an 8oz sirloin steak with salad for main & a slice of chocolate birthday cake - Saturday I was good - Sunday roast pork & green vg but I have craved...

I only buy 2 lemon bars as I fear I'd eat them all in 1 day :() they're delicious with a cup of tea. I didn't rate the chocolate mint - malt toffee & cranberry are nice - but lemon is in a different league lol. I aim for 4 a wk only.

I'm the same lol! I was going loads during week 3 - I was more regular than ever, but last wk, wk 5 and now wk 6 is boring - definate lack of movement!

I would like to hear of a chicken curry recipe ;)

I'm 6 1/4lbs down now on my Feb challenge - I aimed for 9 but I am hoping to beat that now :))

I am on SS+ and currently on 4 shakes a day - but I am considering have a small meal & 3 shakes - my CDC said I could have about 250g chicken/turkey & 80g green salad/veg. Isn't there a thread/section for receipes?

Hi girls, glad you are all doing so well - I lost 2.5lbs this week so that's 12.5lbs in 3 weeks - started wk 4 today - it does get easier but I do get peckish at times, not hungry just fancy something nice to chew!

Fantastic!! Ooh I'd loveable 6lb'er for my 3rd week - I lost 4 1/2lbs on wk 2 weigh Saturday so 9 1/2 in 2 wks - you are doing great & guess what in 5lbs I will be in the 12's a figure I haven't seen in a year!!

I made my first choc orange today & made it a mousse - I couldn't finish it - didn't enjoy it at all - combination of taste & struggling to finish my 4 th shake now - the mousse seems to take forever to eat & my stomach must have shrunk!!

I paid £4 for mine and £5 for fibre powder - wonder what other people pay?

My goal for valentines......to find myself a decent fella because the current one is about as supportive as a broken chair.......!!

Hello, I have to say I thought everything I tasted for the 1st 2 days was vile - but then I just seem to completely change - I love the apple & cinnamon porridge - and I love all shakes including butterscotch lol although it is quite sweet - better as a mix a mousse - a gelatin powder you can...

Hey? Surely not looptlizzie? When did you last get weighed & your loss? You weigh a few pounds more at night than morning. In fact I feel bloated& would prob be the same on my scales tonight - as I had my 3rd & 4th (porridge/chocolate mix a mousse) within an hour& I've come to bed where I am...

I am getting very nervous about my 2nd weigh in on Saturday because its looking like I've only lost 1lb - I will be angry- I've been living on 4 shakes a day, realistically about a litre and a half of water - no cheating - in fact I haven't even had my 4th shake on 2 days this week - I am going...

9lbs for me - I am not going to aim too high as I only lost 5lbs on 1st weigh in & sneaky peeks on scales haven't shown then going down :(( I need to increase my water - and I'm going on a piss up in Dublin min-month :(( It would take me to 13stone ...so 9lb yes please!

Just had the apple & cinnamon porridge for the 1st time for dinner - omg it's delicious!!!

I've had a mango shake tonight & it was lovely- I am impressed with the variety tbh. My favourite is fruits of forest, banana & now mango, with strawberry following closely behind - but evening ones I think toffee & walnut, chocolate & mint chocolate. My favourite soup is mushroom & I tried...

Hi girls, I am only on day 8 so forgive my lack of knowledge! I am on SS+ so I have 4 shakes & white tea/coffee with my 200ml skimmed milk allowance - I opted for this because if I opted for a meal I know the portion size would grow a bit each day dependant on my mood. Are you have 3 shakes...

I think not drinking enough is my downfall - how much did you lose on 1st wk - I only lost 5lbs - I am hoping to match it this week or I will be disappointed - although my sneaky look on scales this morning haven't shown a difference since Saturday weigh in. It's a loss though- I would really...

Well done! When you think about it 10lbs in 2 weeks - it's amazing!! Good for you - I lost 5 on my 1st weigh so would be chuffed to do another 5 - fingers crossed!!!

Hi girls I am on day 8 today - I was really scared about these withdrawal types symptoms people seem to suffer in the first week - I have to say I didn't have any of it - no headaches, no anger no twitching no hunger etc. I think I was lucky but my CDC said it was prob coz I'd really cut out...

Sorry I pressed send to early - yes 5 green beans, small teaspoon of carrots & a heaped spoon of cabbage and 2 slices of roast gammon with no fat on them- it just covered a side plate - my 3 yr old nephew ate more! I know I shouldn't have but I enjoyed it & just had 1 shake on evening then & I...

Hi guys, well I did ignore the really good & inspiring comments - but I really didn't each much - 5 green beans, a small tablespoon of carrots

PS. I was weighed in yesterday & lost 5.1/4lbs. It was ok but I wasn't expecting a massive loss as I realised I'd done that on my own the week prior to starting- if I look at what I lost collectively from when I started my diet w/c 07.01.13 I've lost a stone now. I don't feel bloated, I've had...

I am also posting this in here for my other girlies as it doesn't belong in weigh in.

Legal eagle, are you doing e shakes & a 200kcal meal? What is the deal with no milk - when the woman explained them to me I only really registered the with milk & opted for that straight away so I have 4 shakes & white tea/coffee - I believe there may be a limit to the skimmed milk but I didn't...

Well I completed my 1st ever 6 days on SS+ - and been weighed in 5.1/4 lbs. If I am honest I was disappointed- but having read a few comments on here I think I may know why not as high as others - I was14st 9 when I came back off my holiday to Sharm on 4th January, I adjusted back colder...

My CDC told me that we can use hot/warm water but not boiling hot - I asked her today & she said if the water is too hot it kills the nutrition in it.

Bloody hell Jemma that was good! There is no way I have lost that much, I have weigh in tomorrow & looks like only 3lbs and I haven't cheated once, nothing at all- I haven't wanted it. Well done!!

I'm on SS+ so don't have any eggs - are you on 3 shakes & them your meal? Got a bit of a headache coming on tonight - 1st time I've had any affects actually.

Hi everyone, day 5 for me too Rachel but I think I've only lost 3lbs - I have got weigh in tomorrow morning so we will see on her scales - I was hoping to see more than this :((. Her scales had a lower starting weight than mine anyway. Had the mushroom soup today - delicious! I have now...

Hello girls, sorry to hear your all tired & thinking of food lol. I am nearly over day 4 - today went better than expected I sat in a meeting with a plate of gingerbread men & chocolate brownies in front of me & I just didn't have acknowledgment to them! My urge to get my BMi down for a baby...

Rachel I work in Housing - I visit tenants to assist them to claim benefits/money advice. It's getting very busy now with all the changes coming in from April - Welfare Reform is going to change so much in society!!!

Well I have just completed day 3 & I think it was easier than yesterday! I had a right tight dry chest/mouth feeling that was making me cough& slightly unsettled at bedtime coz of it- but had fresh air today & I turned thermostat down on heating & I turned it off about an hour before I've just...

My CDC didnt give my any testers she said I could come back to her in 4 days for a test with her??

No I haven't heard about the mouses either? The day is going ok, a bit hungry but I'm over due my meal again - going to have a chicken & mushroom soup now :-/

Hi Ladies, I feel much better for going out & getting some fresh air!! I think my tight sore chest this morning was the central heating- I necked 2 giant mugs of coffee, a glass of water & a yummy strawberry shake - cleaned the snow off my car and visited a few clients. Embarrassingly had to...

Morning, I don't feel great today, my chest is sore & tight - I don't know if its due to the central heating being on all the time, the fact I been dehydrated in the night or what? I didn't drink a load of fluids yesterday, I had my 4 shakes the last 1 was after 10pm in bed lol, and about 3...

Morning all, Funnily enough I spent the night having dreams where I was eating broken Bourbon biscuits (which I hate), and jam creams :) - and when I was getting weighed I hadn't lost anything - but in the dream I genuinely thought these were allowed on my diet.....how bizarre! My CDC told...

Hellooo I was going to get a normal blender (what I use for my homemade soups etc) but I am wondering if a hand whisk/blender would be easier & less bulky on the side in the kitchen. You just pour out the whisk cup as opposed to big glass jug. I'm going to Argos site lol. After I've had...

SexyBecks, I'll be 35 this year and have tried for over 2 years & I feel something is really missing in my life- my age is becoming against me as the NHS literature says eggs rapidly decrease from 35. I have to loose 2 stone to be back in BMI range. It's good to have people to talk to - I...

It's been ok - my biggest 'problem' is that I thought there would be a decent level of tastes off the shakes, but no! Actually I'll rephrase that the chocolate shake which I had as a hot chocolate & fruits of forest shake were ok, I will stock up on Fruits of F next week defiantly, but the plain...

SexyBecks - my main motivation is also so that I can have a family. I went for 1st fertility appt last week & the nurse warned me that even though they are doing initial tests - the NHS won't help me with any potential treatments because my BMI is 33.9 and it has to be 30 or below. So it...

Well done ! Your doing good. :) I can't imagine 5 days of it having only completed my 1st day!! I rate people on here x

Good luck, I am a 1st time - completed day 1 - we will be on the journey at the same time :))

Well after the fruits of forest I had a leek & potato soup - my blender somehow ended up with a massive crack, it leaked so that's in the bin, I wasn't at all bothered I'd lost some of the soup because it wasn't the best, quite salty (but better than porridge) and I've ended with the chocolate...

Well after being terrified of the diet - I've had my second shake - fruits of the forest yum yum!!!

Well I am just having my 1st meal - plain porridge- it's yuk! I eat original oat so simple everyday normally ans so I thought it would be similar - I heard people say these were nice, I feel worried now if this is the level of taste...bad taste! I was hoping I'd find them yummy & look forward to...

Hiya It has cost me £51.60 for 28 shakes/soups/poor ridges - 1 wk supply (that doesn't even divide into 28? It seems about £1.84 a meal though). I am only intending on doing 4 shakes for 1st week - 2 if I can hack it - if I start with a little meal I know the meal will be bigger than it...

Weeksuse, are you having any meals or 4 shakes? Yes, I have 2 stone to loose, if I get that far I'd really consider another stone - but I am happy for 2 at the moment!!

Ohh just reading your post - I am starting SS+ on Monday - but I don't get to eat anything or should I be? I don't know how it works - with ss1 do you have 3 shakes & a 200kcal meal? Well done!

Well I went my first appt - I have my weeks worth of sachets - I am doing the SS+ I opted for it because I fear if I eat a small meal it will trigger me off to start snacking! I am going to start on Monday when I am back at work, I don't fancy starting 2moro as going to be at moms & well that...

I have been taking Xenistat for 3 weeks now - I take with meals, I have sometimes been a little late (just over an hour) so I try to neck them about 10 mins before I eat with a good half a glass of water. I am only 3lbs lighter, which I think I would have done anyway because I have been watching...

Lealou you have my body statistics!

Hello, I have my 1st ever appt with CDC tomorrow - I don't know too much about the diet, but I am very nervous about it because I am in fear that I won't make it on it, and I am relying on it! I have had big weight losses on WW before but I just can't seem to get back into it, 3 attempts later...
