Yay well done on your weight loss! I'm bloody amazed - managed to shift 6lbs!! It's first week so I know that's not the norm but a very nice kick start. On week 2 of couch to 5k and meeting a friend tonight to shake my tail feather at zumba whilst I have the motivation :)

I'm gutted, thought it'd be the short sharp shock I'd need but as I said to consultant, I'd never realised how much food and meal times were an integral part of family life. My son continuously asked why I wasn't eating 'proper' food and I had the most horrendous thirst all the time along with...

Hi guys, hope you're all getting on ok? I've just e-mailed my consultant to let her know that I won't be continuing, unfortunately it's not for me. I guess slow and steady will be the way forward hopefully instead! Really wish you all the very best in your battles! Time for me to go back to the...

Hi hope you all have a fab weekend, i'm away visiting family for my nieces 2nd Birthday - another test of willpower! Am going prepared with Ready Made shakes! Have a good one all of you - see you on the other side! X

Wow! Well done Sparkles! Great result. Onwards and downwards xx

Hi Guys Sorry for being such a nellie negative this morning, as someone else once said - food will still be there when you've finished this journey! Been for my weigh-in, have lost 6lbs and 6 inches. I'm pretty pleased with that. Frustrated that I weigh 14 stone flat, had hoped to get into the...

Oh dear, I've woken up on a proper downer this morning, accompanied by a headache. It's not food I miss so much as the social that goes with it. I haven't sat down with my family at dinner time for a week, I miss that. I know I could have my shake with them but it's not the same and my husband...

Bit nervous about tomorrow, a cpl of strange things have jumped into my mouth against my will. There was the 10p sized taster of toast and pate in M&S, 1/4 of a hard boiled egg, a prawn, and a cpl of tictacs (but she said I could have a cpl of those). So I have confessed my weeks sins - will I...

Day 6!! Roll on tomorrow!

Woop Woop Mizkirsty - FAB loss!! I so hope i get somewhere near that tomorrow. I'm sure you'll feel fab on your holiday :-)

I don't know how i managed to duplicate that post lol! I'm not feeling hungry, I feel a little bit weak but thats not surprising on 450 cals. My stomach growls like mad at bed time but I don't actually feel hungry - very strange!

Hmmm, I haven't added it up really, I'm averaging 4 pints of water (1 that I take to bed but don't drink til my alarm clock goes off - that way i feel i've got one down before i even get up, and 1 with each shake). 1 x 750ml bottle that i carry with me and a cpl of half pint glasses during the...

Hi, no headaches for me, but i've gone a bit overboard with water as I usually do get headaches and wanted to avoid. I dont know if that's what stopped them or if I just wasn't going to get them. I've woken up feeling quite nauseas this morning, I did on Sunday too. I'll get the school run done...

Hi, mineral water's fine, just nothing added to it. I haven't got a shaker, my Consultant didn't really recommend them. I'm getting on ok with my handblender - as long as I dont mind licking it off the kitchen wall lol! So are you starting today? Best of luck, first step to a new you :-) xx

Hi, I thought the porridge was minging but everybody's tastes are different - give it a whirl, you might like it! I'm assuming I'm in ketosis,I wasn't given any 'pee sticks' but as I'm 5 days in and not hungry I assume so. I will check out with my consultant though as I'd like to know. I...

Hi, onwards and downwards for all of us from here on! I was quite enthusiastic about the porridge - until I tried it, oh my word!! I could've cried as it was my first sachet and I just thought I'd thrown £48.00 down the drain as there was no way I could eat that for a week. Luckily everything...

Hi Newme I started for the first time on Thursday last week and I really felt very daunted by it before i started. Just seems strange to go without food. Now that i've done a few days i'm getting into the swing of it. I'm not really missing food that much (surprisingly), but today i really...

Hi Nuggett Welcome to the party! Good luck with your plan for going back to work, I think most of us would love the opportunity to 'wow and surprise' people with the new look. I'm aiming to become known as the incredible shrinking chef lol! Best of luck with your journey and congratulations on...

Hi Sparkles - well done!! I'm soooo tempted to get on the scales but determined to hold off til Thursday! It better show a bloomin good loss or i'll be cross!

Well I'm half way through day 4 and have been 99.99999% on track! I've just been food shopping to cook my lovely husband a fab birthday dinner for tomorrow. I was walking round M&S foodhall and they were giving away samples of toast with pate, they were (honestl) the size of a 10p. I ate one...

Thank you ever so much for the advice, I got through the day! :-)

Hi I'm a newbie here. I started CD for the first time on Friday (last proper food on Thurs), have been feeling ok so far, bit headachey but nothing i can't handle. I've stuck 100% to my 3 packs a day. I've woken up feeling a bit nauseous and almost shaky this morning. I've got a REALLY busy...

Hi I think i'm doing ok, i'm flipping hungry but thats hardly surprising! If I can get through the first week while my body adapts i'm sure i'll be ok. I suffer a lot with headaches so i'm a bit apprehensive about that, i'll just try and keep drinking as much water as poss and hope that keeps...

Hi peeps I've been lurking around this board for a fortnight but today is Day 1 of SS. I'm a 38 year old married, working mum of a 7 year old (who's as fit as a butchers dog and who's energy levels I envy). I've got 4 stone to try and shift. I've gained a stone for every year I've had my...
