Back on track now and down to 11stone 13 again! I'm going to a waterpark at the weekend so want to lose a few more pounds so I don't look like a hippo standing in line for slides :-/ urggh my worst nightmare! 3 more days til weigh in girlies :-)

When I manage to get back on the wagon I will be staying there until I reach 10 stone! I feel like I have no social life on this diet! But will be worth it in the end... Just need my willpower back to say no to pancakes haha x x

I am carrying on... It's annoying as I was at a point in ketosis where I didn't feel hungry at all and had to force myself to have my packs but then I decided to go out n I've not been 100% since and I'm hungry all the time grrr Just want to get back in ketosis now!!!! Lol xx

Starting again :-( messed up again Wts wrong with me?! Just can't seem to get back into it... Just had 3 pancakes with choc spread, syrup and lemon! :-/ feel sick Someone slap me plz... Thanks!

Well done everyone... I'm back to 11 stone 13 so a sts this week due to my night off last Friday... So good to see the 11's again :-) Moving into 'fresh fat' now! X x

I've been drinking water like crazy! Woke up starved this morning so need to occupy myself today! I'm down to 12 stone today so may be bk to 11.13 by tomorrow... Feel like I've wasted a week! Ah the chicken shouldn't so any harm :-)

I'm dreading this weigh in because I will weigh more than last week for sure! One night off on Friday led me to go up 4 pounds and up until now have only lost a pound of that so musnt be in ketosis yet?!

Thank you :-). I'm up to 12 stone 3. Hopefully water weight and it should be off by next Friday x

I've messed up!! Decided to go out last night, a last minute decision.... It's right when they say don't drink on this diet :-/ I had 2 slices of bread before to knock myself out of ketosis but it musnt have worked, 3 drinks n I was so drunk! Pizza, chips and chocolate followed and now my...

Well done Lou that's fab :-) I lost 4 pounds this week :-) I'm now 12 stone 4 I'm really wanting to get into the 11's by the end of feb, that would mean over 4 pounds to lose in a week... It is possible but I'm doubting it will happen... Onwards n downwards!! X x

Hi ania... Good luck... 6 weeks and that will be off! Good luck for all the Friday people :-D See you in the morning with my weight update! Xxx

Yup that is me :-).... I'm getting on great thank u... Diet wise I was 17 flaming stone pregnant with bubba but I'm down to 12.7 as of this morning! Did it last time so can do it this time... How are you?

Oooh well done... 6 stone that's fab! Bet u look completely different x x

Ooohhh greta grip :-) I don't know if ud remember me... I lost the weight with u last time then got pregnant and put on 7 stones n here I am :-) I used a diff username but couldn't remember what it was so just made a new one :-) x x

I know how u feel... I had 1 pound loss last week and 3 1/2 this week... 4 pounds in 2 weeks doesn't seem very much when u do this 100%! But the bigger picture is that I have lost 24 pounds in 6 weeks so not so bad if I look at it like that x

Thank u x

Thank u x

12 stone 8 3 1/2 pounds this week x

3 1/2 pounds for me this week... Would have liked a pound or 2 more seeing as I only lost a pound last week but it's still good I suppose x x

Good luck for weigh in tomorrow :-)

Hi... Well done for getting to day 8! The first week is by far the worst! To get me through the first week and beyond I think to myself that the first week u lose all the water etc from your body and then after that u go into pure fat!! So if u carry on and don't cheat ull be melting away the...

Maybe too much protein? Have u had your thyroid checked? X

Hi... Yup this is a ketosis diet and the simplicity plan lets you have 4 packs a day... Shakes, bars and tiny meals. The losses are pretty much the same on all vlcd's so they state a stone per month There are more product options on this diet which is good! X x

1 tiny pound off for me this week... Meaning I have to lose 7 1/2 pounds next week to win my challenge! It's never going to happen but miracles do happen eh?! ShrinkingAlice - 44lbs to lose (2lbs lost) 42lbs to go Tracyx - 18lbs to lose (0lbs lost) 18lbs to go Beverley75 - (Started @ 234lbs)...

1 pound off for me this week = rubbish!

Oh noo.... I wonder why?! There must be a reason why your not losing. Are you doing simplicity or lifestyle? Maybe up the water intake by another litre or try just having 4 shakes?

12 stone 11 1/2 So 1 measly pound 4 me this week! Seeing as the scales said 13 2 1/2 a few days ago I'm thankful it has gone back down but still only a 1 pound loss from last weeks weight x

Hoping to lose something in my sleep!! X

Good luck and hope u get a good loss... I'll look out for your update :-)

It doesn't make sense at all!! I weirdly put on 4 pounds in a few days and it took a few days for it to come back off... I don't see how on this diet! At least I should have a little loss this week hopefully anyway... Just annoying bcz I know I have lost just over a stone in a month but when I...

Well I'm bk down to 12.12 1/2 this morning so let's see how much I can lose before weigh in tmz.... Going to be a rubbish loss this wk!

Scales are still saying 13 stone 2 1/2... How is that possible I was 12.12 1/2 on Friday n I have put 4 pounds on in 4 days... Hope I'm just holding water or something x

Really do not understand why the scales are showing a 4 pound gain from last Friday :-/ Never wanted to see the 13's again but they are back grrrr!!!

Bloooody heck that's amazing!!

12 stone 12 1/2 That's 4 pound for me this week!! I'm very happy with that after my chocolate blow out last Saturday Next target is to get into the 11's n I'm given myself til end of feb x x

Good luck for tomorrow everyone x x

12 stone 13 3/4's yayyyy I'm in the 12's just!! 2 3/4 pounds off n a day till official weigh in. Had a lifestyle plan yesterday 2 shakes Spaghetti meal Chicken n broccoli Hoping for another pound off tmz x x

Feeling slightly better than yesterday thank you x x

Thank you x x

Feeling really poorly :-( full of a cold, headaches and dizziness. I've not managed all my packs, I have only had 1 shake and spaghetti pack and just 1 litre of water. I don't normally eat when I feel unwell and I really can't face anything else so don't know what to do :-/

I've just weighed and I'm 13 stone bang on! 2 1/2 pounds overnight :-/ I must be 1 lucky lady eh!! X x

Today has gone well 4 litres of water 3 shakes Spicy spaghetti Gonna have a peek at the scales in the morning me thinks!

Lol.... It may as well have been like that! Can't believe I havnt put weight on though from all that chocolate!! X

Well I wasn't going to mention my Saturday failure and ignore it but I will so here goes... Gulp... I had a full big bar of galaxy caramel, 2 picnic bars, a yorkie and a bowl of 'normal porridge'... All at once! Once I'd started I couldn't stop But I got bk to it yesterday and did 100% 4...

Hi, thanks for the kind words :-).... I failed miserably on Saturday but had a brilliant day yesterday so back to it! X

Today has not been 100% at all :-( Kitkat (2 fingers!) 120g Bernard Mathews turkey chunks 2 shakes 1 litre coke zero 1 litre of water Back to it 100% tomorrow

Thank you x

Thank you all for your ideas regarding my bday! I have decided to just have a quiet day/night in. I have always partied etc for my birthday but I know I can't go near food or alcohol and it would be a downwards spiral 4 me.... Im proud of myself :-D Diet is going well, I have upped my water to...

Oooh good luck I'm sure you will do fine... X x

Weigh in tomorrow :-) eeek! I sooo want to see the 12's by the end of jan so not much time left to do it... Hope all you Friday weighers are doing ok Update tomorrow :-) after my first wee!!! X x

Also... It's my birthday next week and I am unsure what to do :-/ I can either go on a night out, totally come of plan and then try to get back on it the next day Or go 4 a meal and eat 'allowed' stuff without having the temptation to think f**k it and just eat what I want Or not do anything...

Today's going well. So far I have had a choc mint shake (urggh couldn't finish it!), strawberry shake and 2 litres of water. I've decided not to weigh myself until Friday because it's driving me crazy when it hasn't budged!! Also going to drink 4 litres a day and see if that helps Hope every1...

Thanks :-) and yes I'm doing good considering the baking, I didn't even lick the spoon lol x

Thanks :-) lol.... I've only baked a cake once in my life, I have never iced etc.... So even though it's not perfect i think for a first attempt it's pretty darn good :-) :-D Ahhaa I'm such a geek right now!!

Here's the cake I made.... Bearing in mind I have NEVER done this before so I am therefore amazed and proud :-D

Thank you :-) x

Today's going well... 1 litre of water Not had any packs yet so will have a meal pack at 12ish, shakes at 3, 6 and 9pm Feeling a good week this week! Just want to get into the 12's, sounds so much better than the 13's! Then I'll soon see the 11's, then the 10's and I'll nearly be there! Want...

Oooh it wasn't a day off just a bowl of cereal... My weekends going good thank you :-) managed to bake cakes and not eat them!! X

Yep back on it :-) and a pound down so must not have done any damage n still in ketosis! Today I have had:- Cafe late shake Chili con carni A chicken fillet (small) 2.5 litres water So another shake and litre of water and I'm done for the day! Just 1 problem... Told my mum I would make her a...

I'm such an idiot!!! Did so well today and then messed it up n had a bowl of cereal!!!! Of all things.... Cereal?!?!?! A big bowl of crunchy nut cornflakes 2 be exact... Extremely carby!! I'm hoping it hasn't done much damage n I can pull it back and it won't affect my loss this week So...

Thank you :-) x

4 pounds down for me!! ShrinkingAlice - 44lbs to lose (2lbs lost) 42lbs to go Tracyx - 18lbs to lose (0lbs lost) 18lbs to go Beverley75 - (Started @ 234lbs) 40lbs to lose (12lbs lost) 28lbs to go Slinkyson - 42lbs to lose (25lbs loss) 18lbs to go tsweety81 - 30lbs to lose (8.25lbs lost)...

I have lost 4 pounds this week... I'm ok with this. Now weighing at 13 stone 7 1/2 Hoping to be in the 12's by the end of January x x

Well weigh in says 13 stone 7 1/2.. Thats 4 pounds... Ok with this :-) seeing as totm also started today! I'm hoping to be in the 12's by then end of January x x

Ooohhhh that's amazing!!! I'm slightly jealous!! X x

Well done you :-) x x

Weigh in tomorrow all you fridayers :-) good luck all x x

Good day again today :-) on a roll! Cafe late shake Strawberry shake Cottage pie meal with 2x Quorn sausages Few turkey slices 4 litres of water Weigh day tomorrow, fingers crossed x

Excited?! Lol... I get scared!! X x

I have 4 stone to lose also.... June?? If you stick to it then it will be off by April! Yup good luck 4 u too, let me know how u get on x x

Hiii :-) I weigh in tomorrow as well, will be week 2 for me... How much have u got to lose? X

My bum was aching too! Lol... Not so bad today though.... X x

Has anybody else had a feeling like you have done a thousand sit ups but havnt? Started like that this morning, my stomach muscles feel all achy :-/ x x

Not a bad day today Cafe late shake Caramel shake Strawberry shake Chocolate shake Had a skinny late from Starbucks though, but not too fussed about this Getting a weird ache in my stomach though like I've done a million sit ups but I've not done.... Maybe just shrinking :-/ Xx

Ahh thanks lol :-) x x

Ahh yes I remember now :-).... Good luck today, let me know how u get on x x

Are you just having 4 packs and no veg etc? Sorry, I know you have told me before, but how much weight have you got to lose? Xx

Scales still showing 13.10 :-/ seriously why aren't they moving quicker!! Think I need to stop weighing daily, and feel like I'm going to be on this diet longer than I'd hoped. Going to try just 4 shakes today and up my water to 4 litres and see if that helps Xxx

Today I have had:- 2 Quorn sausages, swede chips n a few mushrooms Cafe late shake Caramel shake Raspberry shake 3 1/2 litres of water. I find swapping a pack for the small meal really helps and not much difference in calories and less carbs than the packs! Think I will swap between the 2...

First thing after a wee!! Lol x

Oooh good luck and welcome :-) x x

Feeling a bit dizzy today so decided on another lifestyle day In just having 2 Quorn sausages (tastes like stuffing)! 1/4 swede cut up into chips (yum) Few mushrooms Will have 3 shakes also throughout the rest of the day Sales show 13 stone 10... A bit unimpressed at that :-/ that's only 1...

This is what the website says:- Allowed Vegetables - 200g cooked/consumed Weight Asparagus, Bamboo Shoots (canned, drained), Broccoli, Cauliflower, Celery, Courgettes, Cucumber, Fennel, Gherkins, Green Peppers, Green Chili Peppers, Leeks, Lettuce, Mushrooms (not fried), Olives, Rocket Salad...

Thanks 4 that :-) made me feel better! I thought id seen them somewhere. Quite high in carbs though aren't they?! X

I agree with this!! X

Got parsnips confused with turnips when I thought about the allowed food... I hope it doesn't cause much damage :-( x

We are allowed them arnt we?? Cr*p I've not bloody well checked I just assumed.... I'll look now!! X

Decided not to have my last pack and have opted for 2 Quorn sausages, 1/4 swede chopped up and a parsnip... Feels like I'm cheating making 'real' food. Even though I know it won't (shouldn't) make a difference to my weight loss... Hopefully? X

At least your not eating them all early in the day n leaving yourself starving at night! X x

I've had 3 products already n im starving... Trying to hold off until I have my last one!

Not doing too bad today... I have had a cafe latte shake, macaroni cheese meal and 2 litres of water. Planning on a good day again today x

I have been good today! Hazelnut shake Mushroom pasta with zero noodles and boullion Strawberry shake 3 litres of water 1 more shake to go...

Hi... I dry fry them and add some boullion salt and pepper Very filling and hardly and calories/carbs Xx

Deffo kicked myself out of ketosis! Freeking starving!! Just had my first shake - hazelnut warm with a spoon of coffee in yum! Here's to a good 4 shake day :-) Still weighing in at 13.11 1/2 Xxx

Hi... Thank you... I've tried leaving them with a friend but ended up getting them from her! No willpower when it comes to those devils ahha x x

I love cookie dough and the core ones... Anyway ssshhh let's not mention them again! I'm sticking to just 4 shakes today! I can't just have 1 bar let alone half!! Think I'll just stay clear lol Xx

Thanks :-)... But still feel c*ap!! And bloated... It's those bloody bars... I couldn't have just 1 I had to have 2! I'm never ordering bars again and if they're free I'm going to email and ask for free shakes instead to help my freekin ADDICTION!! This is the reason why I'm overweight...

Had 5 packs today, slim noodles and a tin of tuna :-/ Could have been worse but feel so bad n hope it hasn't affected ketosis or weight loss... So much for not feeling hungry today... :-/

Please can u change mine to 'soon2bslimxx' I've tried but it says it's a duplicate post! Thank you x x Oh looks like I've done it :-) lol x

ShrinkingAlice - 44lbs to lose (2lbs lost) 42lbs to go Tracyx - 18lbs to lose (0lbs lost) 18lbs to go Beverley75 - (Started @ 234lbs) 40lbs to lose (12lbs lost) 28lbs to go Slinkyson - 42lbs to lose (14lbs loss) 28lbs to go tsweety81 - 30lbs to lose (8.25lbs lost) 21.75lbs to go Jewel77 - 26lbs...

About 5 1/2 pints so obviously u don't have to every hour! I find 5 1/2 pints sounds less than 3 litres lol x x

Have a pint each hour your awake... I down a pint every hour if i can so I know I'm getting plenty... A pint of water that is!! Ahhaa x.

So today I have had Oatmeal Choc shake Chilli con carni A few slim noodles with oxo shake n flavour Lots of water.... 1 pack to go :-)

Thanks :-) x

Ketosis is finally here!! Freezing Not hungry Packs really fill me up Loads of energy Ketostix also confirm this!! Took its bloody time lol, hope for a similar, if not better, weight loss this week x x

Are we ok having this on slim noodles? Seems similar in cals etc to bouillon Xx

Ah just re-read posts... You've already lost the weight lol sorry my memories terrible x

I'm guessing your not doing s&s?

I lost 6 1/2 pounds :-) x

Yup it's from h n b 2.50 for 2x 200g packs at the moment... Zero carbs and 15 cals in the whole 200 grams :-) my saviour! I dry fry it with a bit of bouillon powder x x And s&s say there's no limit to how much you can eat x

Yup exactly how it felt!! Was proud of myself not to have anything else today :-) I missed having my meal pack with slim rice though... But will tomorrow x

All at once and then a shake straight away so now I am starving... But resisting :-)

Thank you x

One of them was a choc mint bar and I agree... Was like I was eating toothpaste!!! But I still ate it :-/ The choc orange ones are amazing!

I'm deffo a bar addict! They r just too small an treat like and even if I ate 20 because they're diet bars I wouldn't feel so guilty :-) but I won't do that x

Im starving!!! But resisted so far although may have overdone the water!

I like this :-)

Hi... Well as usual when my delivery comes containing bars I can't help myself but eat them! I have had 3 bars today plus a strawberry shake. I plan to have nothing else today but water Will this affect anything?!

Well today I've been stupid... I always do when I get my sns delivery with bars in!! I've had a strawberry shake and.... 3 BARS!!! Grrrrr Nothing else but water for me today I can do this :-/

I'm the exact same, I lost 6 1/2 pounds in total this week, last time I lost close to a stone. With the same starting weight! Think we may get a similar loss next week instead of 2/3 pounds that some people get. Half a stone is good if u think about it X x

Morning weigh in 13 stone 11 1/2!! 6 1/2 pounds this week which I don't mind Although hoping for the same next week X x

Rubbish isn't it... But next week will be our week :-) Guessing from that reaction u havnt stuck to plan 100%? New week new start! X

Nope of course it doesn't matter with the noodles :-) not many calories n zero carbs 2 packs wouldn't have had any affect on weight loss! X x

Today has been good :-) I have had Caramel shake Spicy spaghetti with 200g slim noodles Chocolate shake made in2 an attempted brownie 8 pints of water Still have a shake to go, will put baba in bed then have a hazelnut one I think... Will log my weight tomorrow :-/

Yeh see what you mean... But my start weight was an evening weight and the 5 pounds was going off a morning weight and I usually weigh 4 pounds heavier on an evening which would be a 1 pound loss... I'm Going to stick with it, next week will be MY WEEK :-) x x

Weigh in tomorrow all you fridayers!! Not that I'm holding up much hope after today's sneaky peak x

I are them all :-) for 14 cals i thought why not, but I'd put them in a bowl of water in the fridge with a bit of salt if not and eat within 24 hours x x

14 stones 4.... I'm 5ft 6 so want to get down to 9 stone 7. I would understand if I only had a stone to lose :-/

Ah that may explain about the ketostix with it being the morning so won't be very well hydrated. Oh are all chemist people funny about people buying ketostix? I wonder why that is :-/ can hardly overdose on them lol x

14 pounds!! Wow that's fab :-) I'm jealous x

They are brand new, not cheap, scales which tally with the doctors :'-(

I paid just over £5 for 50... I have still been 'going to the toilet' daily so that isn't an contributing factor for me. It is hard to stay positive isn't it :-) especially seeing as my loss is only Probebly 1 pound due to the evening morning weight differences. I have decided to make tomorrow...

And... Putting into consideration that the 5 pounds is going off my MORNING weight and the start weight was the evening, which last night was 4 pounds up from this morning Grrrr

Hi :-) I was just curious to see if anyone else had a rubbish weight loss in their first week and struggled to get into ketosis? This is day 7 for me, and apart from a minor hiccup (a slight amount of grated cheese) I have stuck to plan! I have lost a measly 5 pounds, if that at all. Due to...

Well this morning I weigh 13 stone 13... 3/4 of a pound in 3 days!!! I bought some ketostix from the chemist this morning, I don't know if im imagining it but the chemist was funny with me buying them, first she asked what I was buying them for so I said 'to see if I'm in ketosis' then she...

Don't be sorry :-)

Not defensive :-)

Dig for a dig :-) Sorry didn't mean any harm in it, I just say things before thinking... You are correct in what you said I was just debating it against Cambridge as a mere observation x

Ooh congratulations on the wedding :-) you will lose the weight and look more beautiful on your big day. I also want to lose 4 stone but at the rate I'm losing it it will take me 4 years :-) I felt amazing last time, so much more confident and wouldn't make excuses when friends invited me to go...

A nutritionalist on a vlcd? And why is it you need to lose weight? Just an observation :-) x x

Yup scales are definately evil that's for sure! Yes I know about the vitimin a things and was thinking pregnancy ones myself... I struggle to just have 4 packs so 3 would be torture but I was just mentioning it in MY diary as a thought... Like you do in diaries :-) lol. Obviously if I chose to...

I may have 3 packs, a multivitamin and a pack of turkey chunks for more protein. Will see how the weight loss goes over the next 2 weeks x

slim save banana shake Calories 138 Total Fat 3 g Total Carbs 14 g Protein 14 g Cambridge banana shake Kcal 131 Protein 11.3g Carbohydrates 13.4g Fat 3g Strange how there isn't much different, just got me thinking!

In comparison the Cambridge diet you have 3 packs consuming 450 cals in total, the difference being the vitamins etc make up 100% I didn't die As clearly stated in the extract I've just copied a multivitamin will make up the extra 25% Just a thought :-)

Each food pack provides 25% RDA of essential vitamins & minerals, you will therefore need to ensure you either have a varied selection of vegetables in your low carb meal or take a multi-vitamin and mineral to get the remaining 25%. Taken off the website!

I'm not happy about the fact that my scales have just said 14 stone 2 :-/. Maybe due to it being the end of the day with numerous pints of water in me! I'm seriously contemplating going to 3 packs per day and a multivitamin. And... If your about to say u need 4 blah blah save your time and don't...

Why thank you :-) and welcome! What's your story? X

I know wt u mean! And thank you x

Nope, last time I did this I was 14 stone 6, lost the weight, maintained then got pregnant x

It stinks of fish when u first open it but if you rinse it loads and then mix if with one of your packs it really bulks it out n fills u up... For 14cals and no carbs it's a godsend! From holland and barrettes, £2.49 but with the penny sale at the moment u get another for 1p x

Slim rice is my saviour! Can't believe it's not as well known of... Going ok today although I had 2 bars... Today I have had 2x lemon bars Chilli con carni with slim rice(14 cals no carbs) Cafe latte shake Lots of water! No products left to have today so an early night for me I think :-)...

Urggh just got these and opened them to rinse and they stink!!! Also tried to rinse in my sieve and lost lots of the rice through the gaps! Will have to invest in a strainer if they are edible... Plan on mixing it into my chili con carni, here's to hoping :-)

Thank you :-)

Last time I did this I lost 13 pound in my first week but this time it's looking at about 6 pounds when I weigh on Friday But as long as I lose each week I'll keep strong aha

Day 6! Today's quite hard... I'm seriously hungry have had 2 packs already considering I normally have my first one at this time Keep drinking the water but it's not helping Going to persevere! So far today:- Lemon bar(from frozen) Cafe latte shake with spoon of coffee in 3 pints water...

I was just going to mix them in with my packs to make then fill me up that little bit more! I'll get some to try with it being the penny sale at the mo x x

Has anyone tried their rice/pasta/spaghetti? They have no carbs and less than 15cals in a whole pack just wondering if they were any good?! May nip there tomorrow and buy some Xxx

Ahhh no u started the day before just remembered x

What date did u start? Sure u started same day as me

I couldn't just have the bars they're not filling enough! Have u tried choc orange? My fave... Well it must have been lifestyle today. I was out most of the afternoon and forgot a product so grabbed some of those turkey chunks as a replacement. Cauliflower? I didn't have that :-/ How u getting on?

Well day 4 is complete :-) Today I have had a dark choc Truffa bar - these need to be twice the size in my opinion! Caramel shake Chocolate shake A pack of turkey chunks 100g So please with tht! I know tomorrow will be my hardest day so far

Well you could always start undressing when he asks you to step on the scales Hahahaha!!

I know :-( so I must have been 14 stones 4 when I started which is sh*t!! And 4 1/2 pounds in 5 days is also rubbish for the first week but I know in myself I'm not in ketosis yet so maybe I'll lose less in the days to follow

Officially hate my new accurate freekin scales!!!!! They have me down 4 pounds heavier than my old ones so although my old ones have me at 13 stone 9 3/4 my new ones have me down at 13.13 3/4!! So I have lost 4 and 1/4 pounds but really I've lost nothing so far grrrr :-/

It's weird that when I was at that weight I still thought I was fat and when I'd dropped another stone people kept telling me I looked unwell and gaunt but I still couldn't see it and thought I had more 2 lose! I think I will stop at 10 1/2 stone this time as that puts me in mid healthy bmi...

Thought I would add some photos of when I'd lost the weight last time to keep me motivated!! Haha... Wasn't at goal on those was around 10.10 and got to 9.2 settling at 10 x Will put some of me in my current state on later!!

Thank you :-)

Day 5 Woke up today feeling headachey and hungry! I know this means I'm Probebly going into ketosis and my body is trying to force me to eat carbs!! But I WILL persevere and win! From previous experience day 5 and 6 are hardest for me so please anyone who wants to give me a stern talking to...

Dry fry some mushrooms and mix them in... Filling and tastes good!

I guessed :-)

I cooked mine for 10 minutes in a pan... Obviously more water because it's cooking longer. It just doesn't take like cheese to me... More like pepper!

Not for day 4? Lol

Ooops thought u wrote this today!! It's late lol

Snap :-)

Honk!

I've tried that but ended up with burn chewy things yuk! X

True... We are the best!

Well day 4 done and dusted! Just has cheesy pasta - I used to love this but not so much anymore... Anyway proud of myself today :-D

.... Still can't bloody access profile etc!!

I'm called Claire too... That got me then, I was thinking how does she know my name :-)

At least at work your occupied so less likely to boredom eat.... My headache hasn't arrived yet and I got them last time about day 5 going into ketosis so I'm a late bloomer :-) Im on day 4... Weigh in is Friday. Talking about scales i have reserved some at argos to pick up tomorrow so I'll be...

Ah I have never seen it... How u getting on diet wise? X

:-) lol x

So today I have been quite good apart from having 2 bars but not the end of the world! I have had:- Mushroom pasta- yum but not enough of it! Lemon bar- nice Choc orange - omg amazing!!! Can of coke zero 4 pints of water Going to take my Christmas decorations down (left it until the last...

Don't be mean!

Thought u had upcoming bills to pay? I'd say leave the flat screen and pay yours bills :-)... Not sure about the tablet google them on eBay see how much they go for x

Hi... Mine are chilli cin carni and mushroom pasta (if it's cooked right!) x

I'm not sure about sprouts hun... The spicy spag is a lot better than spag Bol in my opinion. It will work if u stick to it! Wait and see!! God that's a mess about the rent your owed back, its your money so you should tell them to give it you in 24 hours or you will seek legal advice. I'm...

My day so far.... Took my baby boy swimming for the first time, he loved it! Only managed to have my first product at 1pm! Had 2 pints of water this morning and of course wt ever water slipped into my mouth at swimming :-D it all counts!! Anyway got a sns delivery this morn so like the fact I...

When I got to 10 1/2 stones I started going to the gym 3 times a week religiously and got to 9.2 and only then could I SQUEEZE into an 8 :-) strangely still felt fat though but looking back at photos realised I wasn't at all!!

Ooh well done :-) when did u start? It's weird how we are the same height and at 14 stone I'm a size 18 and at 10 stone 10 I was a 12 and could only get into an 8 when I'd hit 9 stone 2! X

Well has been over an hour and still no profile access :-/

5 ft 6 and 14 stone... I did this before and got to 9/10 stone but then fell pregnant and shot up to over 16 stone, baby boy is now 4 months so here I am back to lose it again :-)

Hi well done on ordering and taking the first step... The next week will be the hardest so u need to get through it and it gets a whole lot easier after that! As far as I am aware both plans will make you get into ketosis at the same rate due to ketosis happening when you don't have over a...

Well I've hit 20 posts prob more than a day ago and still can't go on my profile so let's see what happens when I get to 50 :-) I can't even see how many posts I have made x

Hi :-) we started the same day so will keep an eye on each other... What's your weight and height hun x

Its been more like a day since I hit 20 posts?

Thanks :-) ill keep posting x

Ooops sowwi :-/ x

Does any1 know when I am able to put a picture on and change my profile etc? I read somewhere it's after 20 posts but I have posted more than this but still (permission denied)!!

Yup.... Here's to tomorrow :-) keep me posted x

Also... Can't wait until I start saying everyday '4 packs and water) not the meal option as it just complicates things or a mouth of grated cheese! Just 100%.... Tomorrow I WILL just have 4 packs plus water and a coke zero

Well I'm doing ok today... Not amazing though! Wish ketosis would kick in grrr. I've decided to alternate 4 packs/3 plus meal until ketosis is here as its so difficult. I've gone slightly wrong today, as in had a little bit of grated cheese that my mum had grated to put on top of her cottage...

Veg is an option on the 4 packs.... I didn't weigh my mushrooms but only had 6 cut up so not too bad x

Are you doing 4 packs? If so then do u feel guilty with the veg? Even thought its perfectly ok! It's strange how I swapped 1 pack for mushrooms n turkey and I feel like I've let myself down.... Hmmm

But... My daughter has asked me today if I am doing it to be more healthy than why don't I just eat fruit and vegetables (innocent mind!) and she wants to be more healthy so can she eat the same as me... Felt a bit hypocritical saying no its not good for children what I'm doing and didn't want...

Well today I could have seriously cheated but I didn't and I'm proud of that although I was ment to be having 4 packs per day but instead I have had 3 packs and I've just had some bernard mathews turkey chunks and oven cooked mushrooms which is still on plan but not the strict regime I wanted to...

I can't seem to find the updated Friday weigh in thread on the weekly weigh in forum :-/ Well we will weigh in buddies then :-) Its my first week this week so I'm hoping for a 10 pound loss by next Friday.... Fingers crossed x

Thank you :-) I didn't give in!!

Feeling hungry right now urrggghhh.... Remembering how I felt on new year to try and distract the thought of chocolate and very strangely mince :-S haha x

Hi... I have noticed the Friday weigh in thread hasn't been up dated in a while so does anybody else weigh in on a Friday? I started yesterday at 14 stone. 5ft 6 x

Day 2 Today is going ok so far! Nearly had a bite of my daughters left over toast without thinking and she said mummy aren't you on a diet which made me step away!! This got me thinking should my 7 nearly 8 year old daughter be aware that I'm on a diet like this? Obviously it's a bit...

On a BF note - I know they advise you don't do S&S or any VLCD while BF-ing... & that is the official line. But I did some reading around (about the low calorie, low carb and ketosis aspects) & hard thinking & decided to try to continue while on plan & it's been working for us. Important...

Had a hazelnut shake instead of spicy spaghetti...

Honk for day 1!!

I normally refrain from bars because in the past I get too tempted and scoff them so the free bars for me will be a 'test'!! X

It's a good idea to stick to the book as it will keep u from straying I suppose... Urggh I can't drink black coffee with sweetener :-)

Where the coffee is concerned I plan to cut out the sweetener next week and the skimmed milk the next and just go on to black coffees once ketosis is established... The coffee today has kept me on track!

Good luck x

With some people it does affect ketosis in the first week or so but in some it doesn't. Personally it didn't affect it for me, when I did Cambridge for the very first time I lost a stone the first week and couldn't have stuck to it without all those black coffees! I have just started again...
