Hiya Yes had meals hot and cold. We both drink LOTS of water .... hubby drunk 18 litres over the weekend, but no help Feeling this diet isn't for us :(

Hi Did anyone still feel signifcantly hungry after 7 days? My husband and I are still extremely hungry after about 4pm. Then after our evening 'meal' we are hungry about 30 mins after that for the rest of the evening. And I don't just mean cravings for food, I mean pain in the stomach...

Thats what I was just saying to my hubby ... I think we'll have to plan our weekends more so we're more active ... today we've been chilling out watching DVDs. Tomorrow we're going to play Golf on the PS3 - time always flies when we're doing that :)

Hi Sazzy Yeah I guess I have done the hard bit ... I think it's just the weekend that's doing it. Sitting here watching "Over the Hedge" have you seen it - it's ALL about food lol big mistake! I've just found the 50 reasons to lose weight thread and copied it to Word and added some of my...

Hi Yeah that could be an option. I'm doing this with my hubby and sis and I don't think they'd let met give up without a fight lol I can put up with the cravings ... I just thought you weren't supposed to feel hungry :( *feeling sorry for myself* L

Hi all I'm on day 5 of the diet and I've stopped feeling sick and headachy which is great ... but I'm still getting reaaaaALLLLY hungry :( I feel like I'm on a roller coaster - when I've had my shake, I'm so positive that this is the diet for me, and that I can do it - but 30 mins later i'm...

Hi Lisa Wow - well done on your loss ... 17 weeks is hardly anything! It's people like you that keep me going! L

Hi Ings It's horrid isn't it? I'm VERY lucky that my hubby is doing the diet with me, so the weekend before we started we emptied our cupboards and fridge ... all that's in there now is water and Tetras lol I'm still quite hungry, but it's almost lunch time, so I'd probably be hungry now...

Hi all I'm on Day 4, and for the first time since starting I can actaully believe that I won't feel as crap as I have done for ever lol It was pretty hard going yesterday, but today I'm still a little hungry but I feel ... different - in a good way :) Thanks for everyone's kind words of...

Thanks Ava - gives me some hope :)

Hi I'm drinking 8 pints a day. I have to have the Tetra's at work - can I open one and have it over about an hour, or does it have to be drunk within 15 mins? Thanks for your replies :) L

Hi all I'm on day 2 of my CD Adventure and keep feeling really sick, especially after my shakes. I was fine yesterday, so don't think I'm allergic to anything. I've got a headache too, which I can put up with - but I need the sickness to finish :sad0071: Did anyone else have this at the...

Hi all Well I feel MUCH better than this morning. Forcing my tetra down was the way to go (the Nurofen probably helped too!) Hoping Day 3 won't be as bad - but if it is, I'll get through it! On my second tetra of the day and actually enjoying this one :) :clap:

Ditto Sam ... the Maldives were amazing and going back there feeling confident and slim would make them even more so :)

Hi Tara Thanks so much for the vibes - they seem to be working. Managed to force down a shake and almost through my first bottle of water and although i don't feel Good I feel I can actually make it through the day lol Thanks again!! L

Hi Sam Thanks for the encouraging words ... I know I will get through these days ... but may have to cry off work and crawl into my bed if I don't feel better soon L

Morning! Well it's day 2 for me, and as expected I feel like poo ... my head is going to explode and I feel sick! Just taken 2 tabs and started on my water, having my shake now too so hopefully I'll feel better soon. Anyways - it's all worth it and I'll just keep myself busy at work and the...

Well I made it though the first day! (unless I manically rush across the road to the Chip Shop on the way up to bed!) I loved the Choc Tetras, liked the Veg soup - and LOVE the diet!! I'm expecting tomorrow to be really hard; bring it on!! Well done to everyone else who made it through...

Hi Haywat Same reasons as you - when I stop seeing results I give up. Plus these other diets make you think about food too much!! When I was on SW the first thing I did when I woke up was decide what I was going to have for Dinner, so I could figure out what to have for lunch (ie Red or...

Hi all I am seeing my CDC for the first time on Monday. I was told the joining fee was £20, but now that 2 of my family members have joined me she's reduced it to £15 per person. I thought this was normal. I'm now worried that it's not a joining fee at all, but a weekly fee. Oh well...

Hi all I'm seeing a CD Counsellor next Monday with a hope to starting SS staright away. My BMI is about 45 so I have to get my Doc to sign off the form first. A friend of a friend has just been to a doc to be signed off for Lighter Life and he's refused. I'm really worried now that my doc...

Hi Mike Thanks for the reply. I was thinking of sticking to 4 litres, so I'll go with that and see how I go. (I have a hatrid of Doctors who blame everything from cut finger to headach on my weight!) L

Hi all I'm starting CD after my hols in August and have been reading this site and the official site in readyness. My big worry is about the water ... not that I won't be able to drink it (I love the stuff) but that I may drink too much!! I've had a look at govenment websites and they...
