Peanut. But the first one or two take a bit of getting used to. Persist though because they start to be almost palatable.

Fantastic results. Don't look like you need to lose much more

Still sticking it out. But still finding it hard. I'm on day 25. Not hungry, just want to sit and have a meal, but I won't succumb!!!!!! I'm back at work after summer break and energy levels are low. But clothes looking good on me now so that's what I'll focus on. Staying positive Hayley (for now)

Have now had 3 flapjacks and can say that I can now eat one without feeling ill. In fact with a cup of tea it was almost ( but not quite) enjoyable. I take one to work as lunch. People think I'm eating a normal cookie. I don't advertise that I'm doing this diet, although my family know. Raging...

I get a bit lightheaded and have had a few days were I felt really rubbish - which makes you want to throw the towel in, but try to get through those couple of hours and the feeling will pass.

That's so funny Helen. I love vinegar on chips! Yum! Suddenly all sorts of foods start smell fabulous. :-(

Marjo, I will let you know how that goes. It is hard, but this is a great site. When I get frustrated by it I come on here and read to be inspired or just to know that I'm not the only person struggling. It's not the hunger- I don't feel hungry, it's just that I love food! Lol! When you see the...

It's not easy. I struggle most days, if I am honest - but no pain, no gain (or loss in our case;-))

Thanks Markos. I love that the weight comes off quick but hate the sick feeling I have every single morning- thought I was having palpitations this morning. It goes away after I drink a big glass of water. I guess I'm dehydrated even though I drink between 2 and 3 litres every day. AND I MISS...

Think the advice is to follow a low GI. I've also thought of an Atkins type plan- but without the bad fats- stick to lean meat and avoid carbs - lots of veg??????? That's probably quite similar to a low GI anyway. Could murder a bacon sarnie though.

You have done brilliantly so far, Helen. Almost a pound a day! Wow! I only lost 3 1/2 this week - disheartening after two weeks of losing 6lb each week - but pharmacist said it would slow down - especially as I don't have an awful lot to lose. Anyway- want to get another 10 lb off in the next...

I it's best to use an electric blender. Not a big fan of the shakes hot. I prefer to have vanilla with coffee and lots of ice - which is really quite tasty. The soup is ok if you load it with pepper and its definitely nice to get something hot every once in a while. I tried my first flapjack...

Markos. It takes great will power. Sometimes I really struggle. I miss food! Two more weeks TFR and then refeed before maintenance. God give me the strength to see it through. Looking forward to a glass of Shiraz and a hot meal.

Hey Mini, I have avoided tea (which I LOVE) as I can't take it black, but this morning I added a teaspoon of semi skimmed which made it drinkable. I'm so cold I need to drink something hot and I hate the shakes hot! Might try skimmed as I feel I need something to keep me going. Struggling a...

I normally only weigh mornings too, but feel so crap today I jumped on the scales. Possibly the water. I've almost two litres drank today already. Hopefully the scales will be kinder in the morning

Had a fennel tea today, which was palatable enough. Go supermarket shopping on a Saturday, so peppermint tea is top of my list. Tummy cramps today and I weigh 6lb heavier this afternoon than I did this morning-what's that all about? :confused:

10lb is unreal! You must be well chuffed.

Fantastic! Keep it up. X

Good luck. I started recently and I'm on day 18. Started with a similar weight as yours and so far I have lost about 15lbs. ;-) its hard work, but seeing the results fast keeps you motivated. Going to do the TFR for 2 more weeks, then refeed nd maintenance.

Helen, I also have experienced the pins and needles. I wake up every night with intense pins and needles in my right hand????? Not sure what can be causing it. Anyone any ideas?

You'll get there Helen. This is a great site for support. Mostly I am strong willed and determined but I have to admit to having a real urge every now and then to eat a proper dinner. It's hard when my 12 year old leaves half a M&s pie and gravy because she's apparently 'not hungry'! A few weeks...

Where did you get the energy to build a pond FoxyB? I've no energy at all cant even think of exercising!

Must get some in - peppermint tea might help with the cravings I currently have. Must stop thinking about a bacon but tie.:rolleyes:

On Saturday I'd have given an arm for a boiled egg and a bacon rasher! Not craved chocolate either! Lol!

Just tried the chocolate shake hot - poo yuck! NEVER AGAIN! It is so much tastier cold with crushed ice. In future to get warm I will drink black coffee (which I also dislike) Even the chicken soup is better! :eek:

Lol Marcos! I know what you mean about tv. I was practically salivating watching the Great British Bake Off!

Thanks Helen. I seem to have the odd difficult day, but with the support of my other half I manage to stay focused. On day 17 now and basically a stone lighter. Yay!

Ok. So got over the initial hunger. Still motivated. Lost 6lb in week one and a further 6 in week 2. Only downside is the nausea I feel every morning and the lack of bowel movement. BUT already down another 2 lb so far this week and I have another 5 days to go. Don't have a massive amount to...

Well done. It's hard to make the decision to start. I'm on Day 17. Don't feel hungry really at all, but still crave particular food. Will Power is a great thing! This site is great to get info from. Good luck.

Sticking at this but finding it quite hard. Day 4 has been harder than days 1-3 - headaches, feeling hungry. BUT I will not give in! Any advice
