    Hi Kathryn, I was just wondering how you found the W8 food compared to Go Lower? Is it better?
  133. C

    Go Lower

    So if you have done so well with calorie counting why have you moved over to Go Lower? Also how many calories did you have a day? Sorry if it sounds like I'm interrogating you I'm just really keen (desperate) to find how people have achieved great weight losses.

Anyway I've drunk loads more water today, still have 3 shakes to go and feel great, so hopefully I won't of sabotaged my loss too much?? Have my 1st weigh in tomorrow...

    Senna Tablets

    I too am in agony and if anything is going to stop me continuing this diet then its this! My CDC said try Sennokot or Dulcolax, well I have had 2 tablets of sennokot Friday and Saturday and I'm still waiting!

    What you can expect from a CDC

    My CDC is great, she texted me the 1st day of the diet to wish me luck and has texted me a couple more times this week to see how I have been getting on. Mid week she called round with some food packs so I could swap some of the food packs I wasn't so keen on!

    New today but need advice!

    I really think that if you want to achieve a motivating weight loss in your 1st week I would just follow the rules in the yellow book....no fizzy drinks, no alcohol and certainly no chewing and spitting out! I know it sounds tough but it will be so worth it when you go for your weigh in. Good...

    favourite flavours?

    Saggy Skin
