    Dream Cheating...

    HAHAHA! I thought it was just ME who had these VERY VERY vivid dreams. Oddly enough it was KFC for me too and it was so real - I was so angry when I woke up cos I thought I had to start getting myself in Ketosis again. I kinda like dream cheating as you can enjoy the food without it ever...

    Advice on Chicken

    I really want some chicken but don't want to bother cooking it....if I go to sainsburys and get a plain cooked chicken and take the skin off and have some of that would that be ok? I am going to the gym tonight at some point too. I am not going to eat any veg with it as can't be bothered. x

    water water everywhere!!!!!

    3 litres is the amount suggested - 4 if you can and 3.5 if you have a bar or mixamousse...1pt is equal to about 500mls so you need 6 pints! I have also drunk 1.5 litres so far today so it's nicely spaced out. And as for 'going to the loo' that is the way to do it! :) It gets rid of your 'fat'

    Um, I think if your BMI says you're fine then a size shouldn't matter....surely.... For example if I got down to my healthy BMI and I fit in a 10 but it was really a 12 / 14 it wouldn't matter really would it? x

    Is anyone else doing a 'big reveal'

    I can't - literally I have told my family and my closest mates but my other mates I haven't said a blinker to. I just wanna see if they notice - that will be a boost enough. x

    Celery and SS+ + missing shakes?

    Basically it's cooked veg you have 2 tbspns of. She basically said I could have as much mushrooms, cucumber and lettuce and celery as she did that and it was more than fine! It's just water. It says 200 cal meal so work out the cals. You'll see a difference - I promise :-)

    I am really starting to think it is time for 810 , 10 pounds from goal BMI under 25

    OMG - hunny - you have done AMAZINGLY WELL! I think you need to trust the diet - speak to your counsellor - maybe he/she can help you to move up the scale - you have to be able to eat REAL food at some point x
  242. lshafik

    Do you tell friends/family?

    Well I tell people if they ask - I decided that in order for the support I need I need to be honest with people...and so far EVERYONE is being brilliant. Everyone at work, everyone in the family and all my friends. They have been so bloomin fabulous! It's really touched me! x
