    Hi Kippax - you may find that you can still work CD into WW. I think I once worked out that a shake is 2.5 points and a bar is 3.5?? You may be able to "adapt" it to fit, ie still have a shake or bar if it fits easier than eating, ie, I really enjoy my vanilla shake for breakfast and much...

    Hi Big Bird I think Thursday is the last day. I usually get weighed on a Wednesday, but it can vary a bit as it depends when I can get over to see my CDC as she's not ever so local. Kippaxmum, that reminds me - I'm not getting weighed untill Friday this week, hope that doesn't mess things up...

  129. D

    Advice please on ketostix and totm

    Yes, it'll be because of the amount of water - I'm just the same so now only test in the morning. You may be retaining some fluid aswell if totm, so you may find you'll have a lesser loss this week - but then a better one next week! Good luck.

    4th shake????

    I have 4 packs instead of 3 anyway on my restart - only way I can stick to it now. Can't say I notice much difference weight loss wise - except it costs me a bit more £ wise! You'll be fine, and better a cd pack than something else.
