Back on it now starting at step 1a. Did it 10 years ago and lost 5 stone baby weight. In that time I've dabbled with slim n save which worked well but now seems to make me feel queasy after a month. I'm not sure if Cambridge had better ingredients perhaps. I have 3.5 stone to lose. Meant to be...

Thanks all. I was only eating the packs as advised. Drinking plenty. Very odd. I lost 4 this week so I guess that's ok.

Morning all I'm back going back to slim n save again. I've only list 2lb in my first week. I've not cheated, had water, but I'm used to big lisses in the 1st week. Any ideas why?

Dear all, when the packs arrive, does it say slim n save on the box? Trying to keep it quiet but a family will 've in when it's delivered.

Hi all, I lost about 3 stone on cambs but coukdnt afford it anymore so I stopped. I've put on a little bit ( too scared to weigh myself) but thought I'd try slim n save. I'm after opinions in what to buy first. I know they do a taster pack but I've never like the porridge they do on cambs or...

Deffo agree with advance planning. When I cheated it was because I had nothing to prepare Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

How do the shakes compare to Cambridge Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Liz, how have you found the ss products? Might start in a couple of weeks x Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

If I dud it, I'd do the life style one so I could have a meal in evening I think Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Spag carbonara on exante wasn't too bad but the rest was horrific!. I've cancelled my ww monthly pass, don't see point in spending £20 per month if I'm not following it. Might do slim n save when I can afford it. Liz, what stage of slim n save are you doing, full on slim n save or mixing it...

How much was that? Is it a taster pack? Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Oh yes, do. I'm tempted by that too. Plus I don't have to drive to get weighed. Nice and easy. It's quite cheap isn't it Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

So are all the ww converts back on Cambridge now?? Lol Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

No, someone else suggested that. I've tried exante and it's awful Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

No, not yet, still ww but not feeling it really. The novelty of food has worn off and I'm scoffing everything. I'm thinking of jacking it in saving my £20 per month and when I can, go back to Cambridge. Hubby won't be happy though because it's expensive and we're skint at mo. At least when I...

How do you ladies cope with Cambridge in the office. I'm surrounded by people snacking all day and I got super hungry on it. That's why I did ww really but um more hungry on this than I ever was on Cambridge! Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Cambridge is the best diet I've done I think. I'm more hungry on ww and I'm cheating more too. I'm drawing a line under the last week because I've been really bad, scoffed my chocolate and most of hubbys too. I'll start again Tuesday but won't get weighed because I don't want to know. Wish I...

Yeah it quite stressful, money's tight too with the little one, I can't cut my hours down anymore either so I'm knackered all the time, tiredness makes me crave sugar then the cycle continues :( Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

I won't this week. In fact, I don't think I'll go Tuesday and start again. I've eaten everything in sight. Issues at work and home have made me realise that I binge when stressed and upset. I don't think I noticed before because I wasn't dieting but now I'm more conscious of what I eat, it's...

It's funny, I was thinking about going back to it but I'll see. I'll have to save my pennies. I struggle drinking shakes at work though Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Oh I didn't know you went back...how come? Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

I managed to lose 1.5 lb on ww last week. I didn't touch weeklies tho. Had a bad time at work so had a bad few days, think I'll just enjoy Easter and start again Tuesday xx hope everyone else is good x Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Yeah, that's water alright. Do you weigh yourself in exact same place? If I move mine, they can be. 7 lb difference Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Well my period has started again, could explain my bloat. Great, I've had a restbite of 1 week with none. I've been put on a different pill which still isn't working..arghhhhh Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

I hope ww works for me. I now feel like I'm dieting now the novelty of food is wearing off. If I lose 1/2 a week, I'm not sure I could continue. Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting a 3lb a week loss but at least 1.5-2 really. Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

3lb isn't bad. I feel heavier, my clothes feel the same. I'm pooing more. Sorry if tmi lol Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Yeah lol. I've kept in my points, not touched weeklies. I'll follow it til Tuesday and see. If it's bad, I'll reduce carbs and see if it makes a difference. I'm making curry sat night but I'll have the good old cauliflower rice instead so I save points Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com...

Is that what ww is? ****, from 810 to 1200 is a big jump, or is step 3 1000? Can't remember. I can't really exercise, now maternity leave has finished and I'm back at work, it's hard to find time Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

I left on step 3 but tbh, I didn't really stick to it. I did it for a week but started cheating so I thought enoughs enough, so joined ww Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Super bloated after dinner. My belly is popping out. I've deffo gained, too scared to weigh myself. Think I need to up my water, I've only had about 1.5 litres Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

It's weird, I'm trying not to compare cambs to ww because it's totally different mindset. Apple's are free on ww but I limit my fruit intake due to sugar and carbs are leaving me bloated Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

I don't thunk you should jump to cambs then back again otherwise you'll yo yo which isn't good. Did you point the wine? I don't have weeklies, and sometimes I dont have all my daily points either, I'm trying to go light on carbs still but I also feel bloated. I'll get weighed next Tuesday...

Sometimes I'll gave a shake for brekkie and point it 4, if hungry, I'll have shredded wheat and point 4. Usually apple st some point, salad, venison last night. God knows what I weigh Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Hello all, I'm doing a food shop tomorrow and I joined ww today. Could someone give me inspiration about what to buy for snacks and quick food?? I'm thinking, snack a hacks, rivita thins, cream cheese, half fat cheese, warbortons wraps, wafer thin ham, Vege, strawberries, meringue nests, ww...

So I've officially joined ww today and already stressing about what to buy at my food shop. Think I'll stock up on bubbles like rivita thins, cream cheese, and snack a jack. I'm finishing off my Cambridge packs and I'm sure I read somewhere they are 4 pp each

You see I'm different, now I'm eating, I'm hungry all the time. I'm having a bad day, scoffed chocolate and had dome Tesco curry. Had a shake for lunch, not that it makes a difference with the amount I've put away today Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

My cdc told me ss for too long can make people scared to eat, it's weird. I'm scared of putting on do I'll have to be careful on ww and keep vans low for a bit. O am Deffo more hungry though now I'm eating ketosis must really work at suppressing your appetite Sent from my HTC One X using...

Have you gone to propoints or healthy start?? I'm glad to see you lost on ww after Camb, that's something which worries me

i did ww in 2011 and it took ages to lose weight, ive lost 3 stone on cambridge and have another 1 stone to lose. thought id try ww again but im so confused. before it was just propoints, now its healthy start, filling and fulfilled or something ....can someone provide an idiot guide to the...

I've eaten those cheese crackers, followed by a double decker. I had a low fat curry for dinner but in all honesty, I don't know why I bothered, damage has been well and truely done now. Especially after the cakes and Chinese on sat. I have to stay on this until April 21st really because my...

Yeah they are good, I'm pleased but I'm not enjoying it at mo and I find it expensive. It's been a great diet tho and enough to keep me motivated but I'm cheating despite being allowed food. Hopefully I should have that stone off by summer Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Think I'm gunna try ww now. I've got a stone to lose and I can get into size 12 jeans now but like Liz, I think I'll go easy on carbs to start with. I'm on step 3 now but because I'm allowed to eat but still restrictive which is why I'm cheating. I'll still pop on here to chat to you lovely...

fantastic idea Liz, what about you kiwuchan? Pro points or simple start Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Ahh congrats Liz, great news. Are you doing the pro points or the new start ww? Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

How much have you got to lose? I think I'm struggling because I'm having to constantly look in my book and weigh everything. I found ww easy but my losses were so slow. In fact I started when I was the weight I am now, and it took me 6 months pretty much to lose a stone. it was painful but...

I've been bad guys, very bad. I've had a headache for solo long, what started as a cheat with a bread roll has ended with a Chinese ( had half with mum), and a bowl of popcorn. I think as hard as ss is, it stops temptation because now I'm allowed to eat, I've just gone mental. I havnt even had...

I've started step 3 but I'm struggling because I hate salad lunches. I'd rather have a shake I think. I've given in and had a bread roll, not a good start. I've headache since yesterday morning and no painkiller will stop it. Think I'll have a naughty dinner and start again tomorrow I thunk. Can...

What's the average on step 2? I lost 4 lb but that's 1 1/2 week. Guess I'll know later but I want to get this off quick. I like the idea of porridge in mornings and only 2 shakes a day which is cheaper...dunno what to do really because I want it to hurry up but I also want to go through steps...

Thinking of starting step 3 today, I'm feeling unwell again and last time I felt like this, I moved up and felt better but I still have a stone to lose (ish) plus a bit more. I've done two weeks of step 2 and I have a weigh in later. I have a dicky tummy today, well last couple actually. I'm...

I've had people say ( usually big people imo) say you'll put it back on. I say why would I, it's baby weight anyway. I think some people like to see others fail, especially if they have no will power to lose it themselves, they put others down Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Step 3? Are you losing much? Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Yeah, totally. Until you get into ketosis, then it stops. Drink water and black coffee until it stops Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Yeah me too. My first week I lost 9 lb but didn't feel different. I'd say after about 1.5 stone, I noticed so did others. I've still got min of 18 lb to lose though, that takes me to 10 stone...if I wanna be at 9.9, it will rake even longer. I want this done within the next month really. Might...

I wish I could have mornings, I'm sure I'd be lighter lol. Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Lost 4 lb in about 10 days while on step 2. Cdc says it's similar loss on step 3 so I'll see if I lose lots next week. Desperate to do step 3 but I'm still 11.4 and want to get down to 10. So a fair way to go still...at least I'm no longer classified obese, just over weight now lol

My cdc always said you lose same roughly on ss and step 2 so I wonder what losses ate like on step 3? 1000 cals sounds like a lot..but if I still lose 3 lb a week. I'll stay on step 3 for a few weeks, then rush to step 5. Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

I was restrained tho, I had a tiny bit abd two bits of pizza. Went to gym again this morning. My scales say loss if 3 lb but my cdc are different Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Yeah but I doubt pizza, Chinese and nutella is on the allowed list lol:D Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Hmm maybe. It's hard tho going back to work, I'll be working late shift so having my dinner at work...unless I have my dinner at lunch and have a shake at work.. Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Not sure, I want to be totally done in 6 weeks for financial as well as sanity reasons. I've got at least 1stone to lose, ideally 2 Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

You see that worries me because when we eventually stop, will we put it all back on? I'm not planning on going up step, ss, maybe step 2 then just sensible eating. Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

I weigh different depending on where in my kitchen I put the scales Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

I didn't struggle getting into ketosis at all tbh. I did have a cream egg weeks ago too surprise surprise. I don't get side effects going in and out, although my hands usually go cold Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

I've had 3 French fancies :( so punished myself in the gym. I'm only having two shakes today which I know is wrong but it's 147 less cals. My Sainsbury size 14 jeans are too big, my new look 14 are tight still but my Tesco 12 fit. Weird sizes! Hubby has ordered a pizza, I don't think I can...

Well done funny farm! Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

I think it depends on the individual. It takes me a long time to get into ketosis and I come out if it easily. My cdc takes two days to get into it. You can only try but don't go mad. Do it for a day max. Then start again and drink loads of water. I've just cheated again. Had a slice of pizza...

I'm not sure, I didn't check, but when I cheat I feel hungry so prob do Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

I've never put on tbh. The worse was sts and that week I ate 4 sausages. I thought as it's protein it's better than carbs but cdc told me they are the worst thing to eat and I should've had beans on toast..weird. my weighin is Tuesday so I'll let you know but I lost 3 lb after eating toast. I...

I had a little bit of Chinese after a walk today. Back to gym tomorrow. We'll see what happens Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

If I were you, have carb but don't go mad. Couple of bits of toast and milk. Then start again tomorrow Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Oh I saw that on YouTube, looked good but I'm not sure I could be bothered lol. I've just scoffed a cookie. I'm expecting massive losses next week ;) I seem to be worse when I exercise.. Hope your neice and did are doing well x Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Last week I had two bits of toast ( white bread) with peanut butter lol. I didn't check if I was in ketosis but I lost 3lb...then again, that might show on next week's weighin. I've just punished myself at gym and got a long walk tomorrow, then gym again Friday. Hopefully that will limit any...

Actually that isn't a bad idea, apart from my cold when I drank lemsips, o had bigger losses after a little cheat, although I've never cheated for a whole day, as desperate as I have been Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

I lost 3 lb in the last week which I'm pleased with but I'm worried my naughty behaviour will go onto next week's weighin. I may take a walk up to town today which will be a 2 hour round trip to get some house spray ( I'm being bitten by something) odd considering we don't have pets!! I've spent...

Ahh congratulations!! Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

I'll try the other way around Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

:) Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

I don't feel massively guilty. I think it's because it's been soooo long since I've eaten nice food. When I was on a food diet, I didn't really cheat ( but the weight loss was solo slow). Its deffo a mind thing. The cake wasn't that great either, the prawn crackers were nice. With the best will...

Right, ive now eaten a cream cake! I don't know what's wrong with me. All my willpower has gone. I've still got at least a stone to lose, back to work in 2 1/2 weeks. I'm thinking I might just allow myself a bad day, hopefully that will get it out of my system because my cheats have got to a new...

It will be interesting to see if that makes a difference. I'd be scared too, 810 seems like a lot of calories after ss doesn't it Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Ohhh I've just eaten prawn crackers... Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

Really? Maybe I should, it might stop me reaching for nutella! Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

I've never had tetras or bars, I stick to soup and shakes Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

I've tried extante, got put off when I found a hair in the porridge. Extante wernt interested because I didn't photograph it and my reviews online were taken down, including on trust pilot! Not sure why the consultants charges are different. I think I pay 1.90 per packet Sent from my HTC One X...

Thing is, it's expensive, 40 per week and I'm not sure when I'm back at work I could stick to it Sent from my HTC One X using MiniMins.com mobile app

I've tried mix a mouse which is ok, it is filling but I don't think it's like angel delight though...I was hoping it was. The drink flavours are horrid, well I've only tried the orange which is really really sweet, but artificially sweet, not like chocolate sweet...

Aww thanks, I'm better, hubby still poorly though. I walked for 1,5 hours today so hopefully that will make a difference. I'm picking at things though. Hubby brought home a McDonald's earlier and I ate 4 chips..and now I've just had a tablespoon of nutella. I have to hit target soon before I...

I've lost 2 lb in two weeks, not happy but my own fault. Other half was ill so I ran around after him and little one, then I caught it so lived off lemsips...ah well. Just tried the mix a mouse stuff added to my shake, isnt bad actually

I didn't like it, the ready meal gave me indigestion, and shakes are flavorless. I'll stick with cambs for now I think

Yes Deffo. Think I'd cheat a little anyway, even on ww when I was satisfied, I still wanted a bit of choc :)

Carbonara gave me indigestion but was nice, didn't like shake or bar so I'm sticking to Cambridge I think as I like it. Just have to try and sell my 6 days of extante otherwise ivevwasted £50!

I've ordered a taster pack on extante, really due to price difference and the hot ready meals. Any CD tried extante and if do, how does it compare?

But what would the counsellor do anyway. I'm not looking forward to the bars, I can't see how they would be filling. And I'm dreading porridge because Cambridge porridge is vile.

Thanks for reply. Why do you have to stop for a week after 3 weeks?? With Cambridge it's after 12

Hi everyone, I've just finished 4 th week on Cambridge. I've lost 1 stone 2 lb but it's expensive so I'm keeping options open. Extante seems similar but cheaper but wondered if someone could answer the following...can't find answers online... Can I have the ready meals on total solution...I'm...

Thanks everyone. Id be happy at 10.5 but ideally 9.9. 10.5 will get me back into my work clothes, 9.9 will allow me to wear everything in my wardrobe. I've joined a gym and did quite a bit last week...maybe if I hadn't I'd have gained. I'm 12.7 atm

She told me to stay away from all sausages. Odd because I thought carbs were worse on this diet than fat ( bit like Atkins). I've dug out my old weight watcher book from a few years ago and I had small losses there too. :( I go back to work in march and want my pre baby weight back...seems...

I'm on ss, sometimes ss+. She didn't really advise me. I told her that it was either those or beans on toast and I thought the carbs would be worse somehow but sausages ate the worse thing you can eat ...she Saud beans on toast would've been better...

Oh god I'm so depressed folks. Just finished my 4 th week and sts...I've been bad I suppose, 4 sausages in a week but how can that make such a difference? I've done other diet, had them and lost weight. I dont understand, and I've fine loads if walking. Feeling like I wanna give up, especially...

I've been bad ..very very bad. It started when I was sat in traffic and had a cream egg in my bag ( brought fir hubby ). Scoffed that, got home had two sausages, later I had some crisps and few spoonfuls of nutella :( my baby is I'll with a cold and I've caught it...it was either sugar or a pile...

Oh god mac n cheese my favourite, if really naughty I add hotdogs

I'm either gunna scoff some nutella or a cream egg..I'm desperate for sugar....will that knock me out of ketosis??

I've got 30 day shred but advised I'd put on weight with that. Think I'll stick with cardio to see if it helps with the loss. Prob is on this diet you also lose muscle mass which isn't good really because I want to be strong still. Maybe it was the carbs which made you add, are they...

What exercise did you do?

I'm on my 4 th week and have just rejoined a gym, I went lots before I got pregnant but stopped when I was about two months due to house move and new job. I love spin classes and running. However my cdc told me nothing but walking for first two weeks while you adjust, then if I want to run, it's...

I'm gutted I lost 2 lb this week, I have never cheated. I know a loss is a loss and it's all fat but if I keep losing small amounts, I might as well ho back to ww or try slimming world as it's cheaper and I can eat. I've just rejoined a gym so hopefully it will help

I'm still bunged up, the fibre stuff helps a little but isn't great, oh and smelly breath

I know, who'd of thought tuna and lettuce was so nice. Can't wait to eat toast again

I'm starting to do ss+ more and more which I didn't want to do really as I want max weight loss. I struggle at weekends too, especially when we watch a film because we have munchies during ...not the same with a pint of water. :(

Don't be, 4lb is a lot, abd remember, it's pure fat from now on whereas before was water etc so it will be less but you'll lose size now. :). P.s can't believe I spent so much on that orange flavored water stuff, god it's horrid, what a waste!!

It happens ladies, dont dwell on it, tomorrow is a fresh day. :)

Dunno if it's a different product it might not work the same

Thanks for reply. Spoke to consultant about me going back to gym as I love spin classes and she said if I do spinning, I need to jump to step 3 so I guess it's possible

Anyone??

Does anyone know whether you can do ss, until your target (apart from the one week off at week 12) then eat a healthy balanced diet? I don't want to go through all the other steps?? Too expensive, I want drastic results then eat normally again. It's only baby weight I want to lose so I don't...

God rice pudding is vile, tastes like salt, I've had to chuck it and made omelet instead :( guess it's soup and shakes for me

It's up to you hun, my consultant said either but as I wanted max results possible in short space of time that's why I do ss. Although I did ss+ for a day, and might do it tonight too because I'm starving, depends on how string you can be...

Oh god the porridge is the worst thing ever, I've chucked it away, made me want to vom

im not sure tbh, i think it depends on how much you have to lose. I know that you cant do ss or ss+ for more than 12 weeks at one time, if you do 12 weeks, you go to step 2 for a week then you can go back to ss or ss+ (NICE guidelines apparently), but I guess you can always go to step 2 at any...

im always cold anyway but i have noticed that im much worse, having to sleep in socks for a start..havent done that in a long time, plus wearing jumpers around the house despite heating on. Id like to think its because of the fat loss but i dont think it is...because the first week loss is just...

My consultant told me the following weeks are usually lower than first because first is water and waste loss, whereas 2nd onwards is actual fat :). I want 5lb loss so it's a stone gone, but scales are fluctuating, seems I've only had 2lb loss since tuesday

That's awesome flower!! Well done :)

Good luck!! It's all about the water so make sure you drink the amount your supposed to..also, if your prone to constipation, get fibre 89 while your at your first visit !!

Well done, that's a fantastic start!

I'm missing food :(. Just had chicken and mushroom soup which was lush!

Well done everyone for only having small amounts, I know if I do, that will start a monster binge. I'm in ketosis but still hungry :( really struggling now, ive started putting small amounts if milk in coffee because I'm sick of black. There is no way I can do this for 12 weeks...I've got so...

Lol, why do we do that to ourselves. I cheekily weighed myself now I have scales and lost a lb since yesterday

That sounds lush, I don't have many if the allowed foods, but I've just had a two egg omelets with a floppy spring onion, god it was foul, ( I'm used to ham n cheese omelets) didn't enjoy it and now worried that might stop a lb of loss :(

She only had one rice pudding but I'm worried too, shame because I was looking for something substantial...I feel like im going to cheat...may have to gave an omelet..but keep eyeing up German biscuits I've got left over :(

Maple and pecan porridge isnt good. I added extra water but tasted really artificial. I've got apple and cinnamon tomorrow, fingers crossed

Well done

About 3.5 now, which would take me to 9.9 but tbh, I'd be happy to get to 10 stone, which is still less than pre baby weight. .depends on how desperate I get!

Good luck, how much do you want to lose

Choc orange shake is vile, gutted because it's my favourite combination usually..

I've got some porridge and rice pudding so I'll let you know what it's like. Also got some fibre 89 because I havnt pooped fir 3 days lol

9 lb loss, happy considering I scoffed loads two days after ny consultation weigh in and my period...if I can get 5 lb off this week then that's a stone in two weeks !:D

I'm in same boat, I tested in the morning and the stick was a bit darker but I don't feel any better today than first few days, in fact I had to gave my shake early today because I felt like I was going too weak. Day 7 today abd weigh in tonight, if i havnt list at least 5 lb, I'll be screwing!!

I'd wait til day 4 or 5 hun...

yeah it is, i think it mean ketosis ...aka fat burning time :)

Me too, didn't like my coffee, I've been mixing caffeine and non caffeine today but tomorrow is day 6... It's gone quick actually

Thanks flower...only 3 hours til my hot choc. I'll have enough to keep myself occupied...bath little one, have a bath myself then should almost be time

But that will take me to ss + at the mo I'm on ss..soup at 5 so might feel better after

God im so weak...may have to have a boiled egg but worry once I start I can't stop...

What are the diaries ?

Me too lol, I'm gonna treat myself to new hair when I go back, I won't quite be at my target weight but about 1/2 stone off my pre baby weight

Yeah it's weird, I'm not hungry but got a bit light headed earlier, just getting by with black coffee..roll on 12 so I can have a shake. I'm still on maternity leave but due back in march so I have to fit into my clothes! Little one was a nightmare last night not sleeping so I'm tired from that...

I think you can have it, only teas you can't have are fruit and flower teas but double check with your cdc. Feel really weak today, can barely move my arms.
