It's driving me crazy, woke me up 3 times last night. It then takes an age to fall back to sleep - only to be woken by it all over again! Actually recorded it on my phone because he always denies snoring - can't argue with the evidence! xx

Poor Trudi, think you should try and collect a few more ailments before we put you down! LOL!!! Had another pants night of no sleep as my husband was snoring VERY LOUD. Have been to tesco's and got some breathe right strips to see if they will help tonight - or I feel there could be a murder...

Remember those nights well - have had a couple of nights like that with my 6 year old who has a really bad 'cough cold' as she puts it. Was lucky with getting my job, i believe everyone in my cohort got a job of some sort. Although not everyone was allocated to the area of their choice. I...

I just went for black trousers and a black poka dot blouse. Had make up done at mac which they managed to match the colour of my eyeshadow with the colour of the hood. So I have to admit I did look good. Lots of lovely comments about how much weight I had lost. Will try and post some photo's...

Hi all, feeling worse today than yesterday - at least I have a day off tomorrow. Don't fancy a home birth then, Ph???? I think the 999 is the best option, at least they have entanox (gas and air) on board - don't get that with the local cabbie firm I bet. Anyway off to work, have a good day...

Howdy all, just home from work. Managed to last the day - not sure how every muscle in my body aches!! Fortunately I was put in the clinic today - so I didn't get to drive my new car that much - but that was probably a blessing in disguise as I felt so rough. Plus the lovely ladies at work let...

Morning all, sorry PH to hear your 1lb up today. Don't worry it'll come off soon enough!! I put on 3lb this week (i'm now hanging my head in shame!!!). I do have totm so I think that may be part of the reason but more likely the chocolate and the pizza I had! Am doing ss for this week, it's my...

Echo Biltsy's post - Nina you have done soooooo well. I'm still weighing up my options - not sure whether to continue with ss, move up to 810 or swap to ww. Hope everyone has had a good day - I have been on a conflict resolution course today. Was really interesting!!

Ok, just tried on the dress I wore to wedding in november and it was hanging off!! To think I had to pour myself into it and have my spandex undergarment thing and I still looked mega enormous. It's a strapless thing and my boobs were big enough to hold it up but not now. Found some motivation!!!

Morning all, was going to measure myself last night but couldn't find a tape measure. But I found a dress I bought for a wedding, it was a size 16 and I had to squeeze myself into it. Thought I might try it on when I get home from work this evening. Thanks for the kick up the bottom Trudi, so...

I forgot you were a medic in the TA PH - it was on your list thing the other week. I was a medic in the RAF for 4 years. I hated NBC training - wearing my noddy suit for days on end whilst on exercise, having to turn my respirator into the national lottery machine because I blew out to hard...

Well done loved up on your weight loss, I was a bit naughty with my water intake last week and I did wonder if that was part of the reason why I didn't loose. Roll on Wed and W.i. Goosey - good luck today for your presentation. I hated doing presentations at uni especially with this one girl...

Well done Biltsy on your loss. I will be more than happy and grateful if I could have a nice 1lb loss! :happy096:

Morning all, I am proud of myself I actually managed to resist the temptation of hotdogs, burgers and waffles. OH I think is a little perplexed by my mood swings. I don't think he understands how hard it is when your eating nothing solid for weeks on end and then some idiot cooks all the stuff...

Having bad half hour - husband has just cooked the kids hotdogs, burgers and waffles. I LOVE IT ALL!!! Have just had massive rant at my husband - it's mega winding me up that they are all sat eating the things I love when he said when I started this diet that he wanted to establish a healthy...

Actually didn't weigh myself this morning -which I think is the first time in ages. Will try weighing myself in the morning!! THanks guys! xx

No - i'm on 3 packs a day but my cdc thought I might feel hungry this week since I ate during my weekend at blackpool. In all honesty I haven't been as good with my water intake as I prehaps should have been!! Think it's all in my head - I just want to eat, don't care what it is - I just need to...

They do swimming - only at club level. Only taking my eldest (Ellie) because children can only compete when they are aged over 9. So poor Hana who is only 6 is staying with my OH - but she is mega happy about that. THey have planned to have dinner - table for two.

Well done PH!!!! 4lb that's really really good!! Glad to hear your tummys feeling a little better now Biltsy!! I may not be around much over the weekend - have to take my eldest to Nottingham for a coaching course with the man who coached Rebecca Adlington (won 2 gold medals at the olympics). xx

I love cats - have four myself. Ernie is 11, Tigger is 4, Ollie is 18months and Thomas is 6months old. Luckily they are all boys. I have taken the girls to the cinema to see Hotel for dogs - it was quite sad in places and mega funny in others. Was very pleased with myself that I had no popcorn...

You seriously shouldn't feel like the ugly one you are well pretty. The salty taste did go actually over the weekend - when I had my naughty break from the diet. But I have noticed that the veg soup which I really loved, tastes really salty and I have gone off having that one. When I told my...

OMG, Goosey - I have just looked at the pictures of fat. I have to say they make me feel sick too - but I do find it totally amazing to think I have lost like 3 of them!!! Also looked at your pictures - how pretty are you? Think you should apply for Britains next top model - seriously!

:hug99::flowers:Hey Biltsy, sorry to hear you having a rough time of it!!! Was there anything specific that set of your ibs - mine used to be triggered by too much dairy produce. Do you remember the other week when I had that salty taste in my mouth (NO RUDE JOKES PLEASE), but you thought it...

Loving the squirrel thing - I was thinking more like hamsters. But then if I had stored it in my mouth I might not have put on that pesky lb!!! lol xx

Bless you, I suffer from IBS but touch wood have not had any trouble since I have been on the diet. I weighed myself this morning and have lost 2lb so far - so at least that 1lb I put on has gone. Sending you BIG BIG HUGS - won't help the constipation or the pmt but it might make you feel a...

Hi all, ok have pulled myself together and I'm going to give it another go. Although I put on 1lb this week but to be honest I'm ok with that as I ate like crap over the weekend - pizza, burgers and chips etc. Thanks for your support guys during my major wabble today, have a feeling it's not...

It's just doing my head in today. The taste of those shakes made me feel so sick and just can't face another one. Am going to have a chat with my cdc tonght, thing is I know it works and the results are good. Just miss eating!!! Thanks you loved up and Biltsy xxxx

Am thinking I may just cave in before you Biltsy - really considering it!! Sorry to hear you've had a hectic day.:hug99:

Well done Sam on passing your exams, good luck with the weigh in tonight. I am really not looking forward to mine - have deffo put on at least 2lb. Was having the same wabbles as Nit - it was so nice actually eating things over the weekend - it's made me realise how much I miss food. Have felt...

I'm sure I have read somewhere that your at increased risk of gallstones when you're on a vlcd, can't think where I got that from though. Thing is you can't win - being overweight is a pre-disposing factor for gall stones and so is the diet!! Hence the old wives tale that gallstones are more...

Check you out Loved up - wow what a great loss. :happy096::talk017::wow::talk017: Don't think mine will be anything great this week! Infact think I have put on!! But that's my own fault!

Last w.i I was 12stone 8lb. After my weekend away i'm 12stone 10. xx

That was me!!! Doh - brain goes quicker than my fingers can type. I was a size 14 when I started the course 4 years ago and within a year of starting was a size 16/18. So I finished the course in the trousers I started in!!!!:D

Thanks peggy mcparrot!! Have a good shopping trip!! Was thinking myself that new bras maybe needed!!

Hi all, Well done Biltsy on you w.i. :happy096:. I hope you have a good break PH. Blackpool was freezing but sooooo much fun!!!! I had a bit of a slip with the diet, ok actually it was a large slip. I started with really good intentions, had a shake in the car on the way up. It was soooo...

Hi pirates, managed to change my avtar thingy to match you all. FLying visit for me too - just got in from my insulin study day which would have finished early if some silly cow had kept her mouth shut instead of asking 101 questions. Have to take the girls for swim training - so will be back...

Hi all, Lost 3lb this week - not a great loss but a loss all the same. My cdc is so supportive and gave me lots of advice regarding my funny taste in my mouth. ;)

I will as soon as I get back. My CDC is a great one for chatting - so it may not be for a while. Well done again!!! xxxx

WELL DONE CHICK!!!!! Now can you arrange for mine to be that good too! I'm so proud of you, as i said the other day your doing amazingly well. Will be off for my w.i in about 15mins, don't think I have lost much this week. But a loss is a loss no matter the size xxxx :party0038:

Biltsy and PH - are you on sole plus? What sort of things do you eat??? xx

Just got back from work, I hate this bit waiting for seven to roll round for my weigh in. Can't even occupy my mind with uni stuff - it's all done and dusted. Off to Blackpool this weekend, so am trying to plan what to do and buy this week. I think I might do sole plus just for the weekend - I...

Hi all, Sorry no post yesterday pm, internet was playing up. Well done PH on your contract!! Good luck goosey on your w.i today, have mine at 7. Hope everyone has a good day, ph and loved up hope you get some sleep today. I can't get over that I have 3 days left of my course - OMG...

Well done Nittus Maximuse!!!! :superwoman: Hope I have done that well tomorrow!!!

Hey Goosey, I had the exact same problem last week - was my totm. I stood on my scales in the morning and it would say a big loss then in the evening it would say something else. I got really disheartenend with it!!! Biltsy is right, you maybe just retaining water, but that doesn't mean you need...

I don't envy you Loved up - did night duty when my youngest was a baby for the same reasons. Nights made me sooooo poorly thats why I have opted for a job as a community nurse rather than in the hospitals xx

HI all, I'm just off to uni too, it's my last day today!! Still feeling crap - but was thinking last night if some of it maybe just the nerves of starting my job and actually being a nurse rather than a student! We have lectures on continuing professional development and a talk from the royal...

HI all, WOW - CHECK YOU OUT BILTSY. I'm so proud of you - you've done so well. Sorry guys, I haven't been around much today - dragged myself to work - still feeling pants, didn't finish till late and then girls had swim training and I had a commitee meeting. Have just walked through the...

Will give it ago! Anything is worth a try - it's starting to drive me crazy and I'm trying to resist the urge to eat!! :sick:

Thanks honey xx Even the water tastes funny, I hope it does go in a couple of days. Thank you for looking it up for me. Hope you feel better soon xx

Hi All, Feeling crap again today - need some advice from my team. I seem to have this salty taste in my mouth, just can't shift it! Tried increasing water intake as that seemed to be the answers to most of the side effects in the book. My shakes are tasting salty and making me feel really sick...

I'm still proud of you!!! Your so right about the smell, the other night had to drive past one and it smelt lovely. Was almost tempted just to sit in the car park and sniff the air!! lol !!

GO PH!!!! PH 1 McD 0 xx

Thanks PH!!! OH, is off to get some coke zero - maybe that will go down easier than the water!! xxx

Thanks guys, for all your kind words!! Hope everyone is doing ok today- I'm feeling totally pants today. Took the girls to swim training and suddenly came over with the urge to be sick, have slept on the sofa most of the day. Still feeling crap and can't face the shakes or the water. So stomach...

Hi all, sorry I haven't been around much today - it's been mega hectic. I was at work in the community and decided to sneek home to check the laptop for my results from uni. Then it was back to work, home for four collected the girls then it was off to dance lessons and swim training. Have just...

Thanks Trudi and PH for your kind words. Fingers crossed it will be ok!!

OMG! Don't chuck me off Goosey, hard to post some evenings. My eldest swims for the local swim club and trains 5 nights a week!!! Bloody assignments really doing my head in. I know there's nothing I can do now, but it takes an age for the results to come in and this time there is so much...

Hi guys, just having breakfast before I brave my day at work. I realised when I went to bed last night that I had forgotten to say well done to PH, Goosey, loved up and How soon is now!!! Really sorry - life getting a little hectic - 10 days till the end of my course and i'm panicing about my...

Thank you - how soon is now, I'm thinking your name is Erin but can't be sure. If I had a brain, I would be so dangerous!!!! To be honest I don't think I was expecting even the 4lb - what with eating those sandwich fillings last friday and then it being the totm. Roll on next week!!

Hi all, hope everyone is doing ok? I lost 4lb this week and i am halfway to my easter goal!! Becky -35lbs Purple Hugs - 35lbs - 6/6/ 12lbs Total lost :rainbow: Sarette - 35lbs - 3lbs lost Cat Bee - 36lbs - 9lbs:bliss: Junika - 35lbs - 4lbs lost Miss_unknown - 35lbs Yummy Mummy xx -35lb...

Hi all, just been for hospital life support for today which was fun and lots of snogging the resuci anni dolls!! YUK!!! It also means that I have a half day off which in ways is good - house to myself but in other ways is bad because when I'm bored that's my trigger to eat!!!! Have been trying...

Thanks Loved up, I think when I started the diet I always had in mind that I would come of the diet just for the weekend, now after reading Goosey's post i'm in two minds again. But I think you are right, what ever I decided I have to be happy with. May discuss it with my cdc tomorrow. Goosey...

Hey Goosey, how you doing? Seems an age since I spoke to you. Glad you had a good weekend away, I'm off to Blackpool on the 14th and can't wait to get away. Just trying to decide if to carry on with the diet over the weekend or take a couple of days off - but be sensible with what I eat...

I'd be interested in that too, had never considered having ice with them. xx

Hi how soon is now (sorry can't rememeber your real name). Well done on your weigh in and welcome to the team xxxxxxx:wave_cry:

Keep going Biltsy - you can do it!!! Like the others say drink some water - just not to much at once! :hug99:

Don't give in to the fridge!! Think there is levels of ketosis, so maybe you may have just come out of mega ketosis but still in ketosis. I have to admit I ate some of the kids pasta last nigh, only four strands but I wondered if that would bring me out. Was mega craving it last night when I...

Hi all, hope all is well with everyone. I only disappeared at six yesterday and there was loads of posts to catch up with. Nice to know everyones names - I'm Louise but everyone calls me Lou. Louie was my nickname in the RAF! All our snow is gone - so we haven't had a chance to make a snowman!! :p

Yeah, I heard about the mousse thing. To be honest - i'll probably just stick to the bits from before - I know it's working even if the scales may not show it. Mine was £40 last week for 3 shakes/soups a day. It is expensive but it is sooooooo worth it. I have 10 days left of university and just...

OPPS!! I ment because I left my shake in the car not my sandwiches!! See the impact they had on me!

OMG!!! I've been done my cdc said you could have bars from week 3. Yum, roll on wednesday want something to chew!! APart from the contents of sandwiches because i left my sandwiches in the car!

I'm drinking buckets of water, but doesn't seem to be making a difference. Mind you feeling a little grumpy and hormonal so i think maybe it could be my totm. Thanks Biltsy for you support xx

Keep weighing myself - getting a little obsessed. Sat night I weighed 12 10 before bed then sunday morning i weighed 12 13 and I hadn't done anything than sleep. Today it was 12 12! It's all over the place, uniform trousers are getting loser so something is happening. Get a lot of motivation...

I did brave the snow and went to work, had to make the effort because by next friday i need to have done 487 hours of placement. So if i missed today i would have to make it up and have no time to fit it in. It was ok, my boss gave me 4 patients and then sent me home so was home for lunchtime...

Hi all, Well done Biltsy on your weigh in!!:happy096:, glad to hear you made it ok in the snow to see your cdc. Shame the team thing was closed, without our results - always this week!!

Hi all, sorry for no post for yesterday. Was up at dark o'clock as my children put it (actually it was only 6!!!) and was dead on my feet last night when I got home, but i missed not chatting with you all. Helped out at two graduation ceromonies yesterday, had to stand at a crossing and make...

I am chuffed with the loss, wasn't expecting it to be that much. You did well on your loss too!!!! Sorry to hear you having a bad day, here is a BIG HUG just for you. Was feeling a litte grumpy myself earlier, found out my new job might not be in the town i thought it was going to be, that I...

Well done!!;)

Hi biltsy, how you doing? Had a hard day very testing of my will power and control. Had a reps lunch today and she brough all my fav things, bread rolls, nice ham, potatoe salad, crisps, sausage rolls etc. So while everyone else is eating nice stuff, I had my chocolate shake!!!

Purple hugs, I love your baby!! Have added a couple of photo's of my old boy. Good luck tonight!!

OMG!! I am over the moon, the struggles I have had this week all of a sudden are worth it. xx

Hi all, well not sure how to tell you all this but I lost 12lb. GO TEAM 22 - RUMBLERS. Can't stay for long, have to iron uniform for tomorrow, thank you all for the support this week. Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow. xx:talk017:

OMG!! Still mega excited, I can't wait!! I'm going now, but i'll post as soon as I'm back! Catch you later Biltsy xx

Goosey, was just thinking about your bf ordering pizza hut and it reminded me of my daughter on monday. We were at the swimming pool while my yongest was swimming, Ellie asked for a chocolate bar so I gave her 50p and off she went. When she returned she decided to shove the bar under my nose...

I haven't look at the photo's yet, needed to spend a penny - was probably more info than you needed sorry. May have to do that before my weigh in and then i'll find some to put in my albums. The toffee and walnut sounds nice!!

I am a bit obsessed with my scales. I weigh first thing in the morning after my morning wee and just before bed. This has been my first week and I have my official weigh in later. I thought it was just reasurrance i needed that the diet was working but I think there's probably more to it.

Hi goosey, fancy you bf getting pizza hut on your first day!! I have held off drinking too much water just in case and I don't have long now so will wait for my soup. Still really unsure what to get when I see my cdc, really enjoyed the chocolate mix things especially hot. It reminds me of...

My house isn't too bad at the moment. I think it's freezing in here but the girls assure me that they don't. I just continue to sit here with my blanket, cup of tea and the laptop on my lap which is actually keeping my legs nice and warm. Think this might just be my 50th post!! :happy096:

Getting really loud!!! I am so looking forward to my soup also feeling sooooooo cold! My husband can't believe it usually I walk round the house even in winter saying the house is like a sauna and opening the window in the bedroom. Since I started the diet, I have really been feeling the cold!!

My name is Louise, when i was in the RAF my mate used to call me pooie louie and I called her smelly kelly. The A comes from my surname!

Make that 3, how's you day been? x

Your making me feel hungry!! Want to weight until after weigh in before I have my soup.

I think he still thinks he's a baby! Honestly, I rode him last year and it was like he remembered all the crazy things we did when I was a teenager. He was trying to get his head down and fly buck, mum said the brains willing but the body can't. Thank you purple hugs for your kind words about my...

I best keep posting then!! OMG i'm so excited about weigh in! Have opted to have the soup after weigh in, just in case that influences the scales and i'm still undecided about what to buy. Last week I bought seven ready made chocolate drinks, seven veg soups and 4 chocolate mix things and 3...

Ahhhhh, purple hugs, computer says no and won't let me look at your pictures. I wanted to see a picture of your boy and I can't add a picture of my old boy to show you!!

My motivation is my pony too, although he's getting on a bit (26), my mum, sister and kids ride him. I worry that if I got him i would hurt him, so I am desperate to loose the weight. My other motivation is that I qualify as a nurse in 3 weeks and I have realised that what right have I to...

Hi all, just got in from work!!! Stomach is rumbling more than ever - i didn't think it would a week into it!! Have my weigh in at 7 and i'm sitting here just trying to decide what to buy when I see my cdc tonight!!!:brainfart:

OMG Purple hugs, haven't had the chance to look at your pics yet but I have a pony. He's 14.3 tb X (what he's crossed with, I have no idea)!! We nearly lost him just before christmas when he got colic and the vet thought his bowel had slipped. He was ready to put him down but decided to give him...

Hi all, just off to have a hot bath. Finished work early today which threw me because I then wanted to have my last shake at 5, managed to hold on till 7 by drinking tea and water. Hope you all have a good day tomorrow xx:wave_cry:

Hi Goosey, glad to hear you've had a good day and that you're ready for tomorrow. That means we will have the same weigh in days - I can't wait till tomorrow. :D

Hey Purple hugs, how you doing? I'm getting excited about my weigh in which is tomorrow at 7. My stomach has been rumbling loads today and one of my friends commented on how loud it was! :wave_cry:

Thank you, will let you know how I get on!!!

Well done Julieh on your first week. Hope I can do as good as you! Roll on tomorrow.:p

Well done on getting through the first day!!! It's a good feeling, having the control not to pick at tempting food. :p

It's my first weigh in tomorrow too. Am so excited, can actually do my uniform trousers up!!! So it must be working. Good luck with the weigh in x

Not till 7, a little worried that because it's late that may make me weigh more than I do when I weigh myself in the morning. Oh well, at least it will be a lose!! Are you looking forward to starting? x

Hi all rumblers, just been catching up with the days posts so far. I know this sounds a little cheesy but my dad's a national coach and he's always saying IF IT'S MENT TO BE IT'S UP TO ME!!! I suppose you could apply this to weightloss and maintenance. All I have herd from work colleagues is...

Goosey, hope you have a good day tomorrow to!! Speak to you tomorrow xx

Hi all, I can't believe I disappear to take the girls to their swim training and how much happens. Well done loved up for a great weigh in!! Goosey, glad to hear your team leader!! Anyway, off to bed feeling tired +++. Speak to you all tomorrow. :wave_cry:

Dear Loved up, you can't join another team!! You're one of us now!!;)

How's your water intake? Mines not been so good today - wonder if that's why my tummy has been speaking to everyone!!

Am so with you, my tummy has rumbled so much more today than any other day!!

Keep going Kerry!!! I was like that yesterday, i came so close to ditiching the diet. I shouted at my husband saying he didn't understand and why was i putting myself through this!! It wasn't until I remembered about you lovely lot and posted on here, it got me through and today is definately...

Hi all, hope your all well today? Have had a better day today, tummy has been rumbling +++++++!! Thought it might have stopped as I'm into day 5!! Sorry to hear you having a bad day Kerry, like the others have said you CAN DO IT!! Well done to you Biltsy!!! A good start for the team! Had my own...

Night Kerry x

Hi all, am so loving the rumbles thread. Well for me that's day 4 down!!! It's been a tough one!! I'll be glad to get to work tomorrow, at least my mind will be active. I'm off to bed now, but I hope to catch you all tomorrow. Good luck to all those starting tomorrow xx

Loving the siggie!! I remember what it was like doing the dissertation thing, had to do mine over the summer!! Off to take my daughters to swimming training but will catch up with you later maybe? xx
