I'm on a pill that I don't have a period with been almost 2 years and the first 5 weeks of this diet I'd had x3 totm's! :( Now into week 11 I haven't had any since. All very odd. Hopefully it won't affect your loss. And if it does I'm sure you'll make...

    Hi Carol :) Thank you. Keep trying with the water it helps. I suffer with migraines but didn't get the bad headache when starting this diet. So you might skip them too. I'm on day 5 of week 11 today. I've been SS all the way with a couple of SS+ days if needed. And only 1 slip up. I've lost 2...

    Don't beat yourself up about it. It must be hard on a night shift. I had a slip up last week and I said the same "So not worth it!" We just have to keep that in mind if we feel the need to slip up again. Just forget it happened and carry on you'll be fine :) x
