Omg thats amazing!well done!im sure your clothes are falling off! were you doing ss or ss plus x

i went into it via the App and tried to post but it said permissions denied

hi girls i never even noticed it before.ill pop in too x

my cdc says losses are exact same on either plan.

try some cottage cheese and salad.its really cheesy even add some spices to it might take the edge off it.believe me i know how you feel i was so close to getting a Chinese at weekend! you'll feel better tomorrow if you dont have it x x

yeah thats fab news good on you.im day 20.its been an emotional roller coaster but defo more better days than bad and the feeling of weightloss outweighs any temptation.well done on your journey so far!keep us posted x

170grams chicken is quite a lot i measured mine couple days ago.cutting into pieces and throwing onto scales i was surprised how much just is and thats when its raw .when cooked its even lighter.i put chilli and mixed herbs on mine then into pyrex dish to cook with little water and had it with...

yes i didnt like tin cranberry one either.and the choc orange seemed nice . . at the time now i just want to hurl thinkin about it lol x have stocked up on peanut and choc mint for the week ;)

i got the suggestion from on here but urge you to try it.a portabello mushroom with cottage cheese and sprinkle of chilli powder.whack it in the oven.i sound like Jamie Oliver here lol. but it is delish .ive been craving Chinese food for few days and it really took the edge off it x

i know ive always been very good in tryin all the cdc things its just i was so badly sickened at weekend it nearly put me off the diet.stomach still isn't right. id just heard lots of negatives about it.i know i should just even have a nibble.lol.is it like a mars bar ? x

hi all i had the choc orange bar at weekend and initially i thought it was nice but the after taste stayed with me for ages and really sickened me off the softer bars.ive a malt toffee one now and have heard terrible reviews about it.wonder should i just switch it when im at my cdcs.

Aw that is fab.ive lost near a stone now ill know tonight.and not one bugger has mentioned.really gets me down x

i think the key to this diet is also making the soups / shakes really yummy without lumps in otherwise im sure i couldnt stick to it. ive seen a lot of posts saying they had been put off soups etc as they were grainy etc, this is how i make mine and i find they are yum not grainy or lumpy at...

i would go for tetras or bars, i did lipo trim a few years back and didnt stick to it as shakes were vile but what made them worse was making them up at work in my silly hand shaker thing without ice etc, i used to gag getting them down lol. if you havent had the bars yet, they are sooo...

wow fantastic!well done x
