Good on him for learning! And you! I bet he'll be chuffed when your serving up his fave dishes <3

Oooo I like the thought of having flavoured sparkling instead of downing litres of plain still water.

Lol Claire! That's brill that you can do that :) My other half can't cook, so I've lucked out there! If he had to cook for them all they'd be living on egg on toast or cheese on toast, and even that would probably be burnt ROFL

wow really. See I always cook from scratch. I make our bread, cakes, soups, all dinners from scratch (well I'll buy a pasata rather than make my own tom sauce, but other than that mainly home made everything..). I was thinking I'd be more tempted to buy a ready made cottage pie or lasagna or...

cool! Sounds like the most sensible way to go about it. I know if I were caught short I'd probably cave and just go and buy something I shouldn't! I'll speak to her about that next week then, and see if she'll let me buy a few extra bits! Thank you both!

Does/has anyone else struggled with this? I have to cook for my DH and two boys, and last night, as I'm sure many people have to do whilst on a diet. Have you found it difficult, still having to prepare and make food, and watch them all enjoy the yumminess...?

Hmmmm I only have apple and cinnamon porridge, Vicky just gave me a mixture so I was assuming that was the only flavour. Oh well, the original one would probably just make me want to dump a load of double cream and brown sugar on it ;) Shakes for breakfast from now on I reckon.

Oh yeh that's true... Can you buy extras then, once you're in full swing? Like one week buy some bars just to keep in case you have a day out or something?

Oky dokey :) I'll keep that in mind -- I'll try a soup without the salt, and if it's too gross, I'll just swap to all shakes. Not too worried about how much I lose, I know it'll come off slowly but surely one way or the other, just happy to finally be in the right place (mentally) to be on...

I think maybe that's why she didn't mention the flavourings, because it's my first week. Will talk to her next thursday (first weigh in) about it though, worth giving it a try. Not sure I'd risk the coke either!

I'll ask her about the water flavouring for next week, thanks! I can't drink tea black (20 yrs of milk and two sugars lol), but I don't mind coffee black. I'm having that in the morning instead of my cuppa. I'll have to buy some more herbal teas I think! Thanks!

Yeh I thought that -- it's lo-salt though ;) And I was exagerating, it wasn't laden with it....Anything to get me thru the first few days though, I can't give up salt AND chocolate, I'd kill the DH and the kids before the week was out lol

Ooooo ready made!!! I may have to try one of those then -- haha so lazy. I don't think I'd fare well on the bars, for some reason, when I've tried that before (slim fast, weight watchers) the bars seem to trigger me into ''I wish that was a Mars bar...'' or feeling like I haven't eaten as...

Apparently next week I can have bricks and bars? I don't really understand what the bricks are. I'm trying to figure out if I should just go for all shakes for my second week, or try these. Just wanted some info really! Thanks!

Hi :) Is there anything else I can drink other than water?! Are there any squash/cordials out there to buy which don't have carbs in? Thanks!

I was so tempted to have a blow out, but thought better of it and I'm glad I did! I feel fine! Don't feel any different in my self at all, other than that niggling ''mmmmm crisps...'' ''mmmmmmm just one starburst...'' ''mmmmmm that bread looks yum...'' But I'm just ignoring it, I'm laughing at...

well done!!

well done!!!

inspirational -- thank you for sharing :)

The porridge is he worst thing I've ever eaten. But maybe that's because I'm fussy about how I have my porridge (cream and sugar...moi?!) -- I should have known better really and just went for the shakes for brekkie. I've liked the butterscotch and cappacino shakes so far. Next week I think...

Good luck!

wow!!!! How amazing are you?!!! :)

Thank you for this!!!

12lb loss!!!! yayyy!!!! I'm on day two! Good to ''meet'' you :)

Thank you Jaybee! Good luck to you, too, Emz! Nice to know people that are just starting out, and going thru' the tough bit at the same time :) Sunflowers -- that sounds right to me, too. I think by elliminating food in this way, it makes you take note of when and why you ate/over ate in the...

Thanks :) I'm trying to keep busy, been to the park with the boys, then walked the dog. The house is cleaned to within an inch of its life, which I think just made me hungrier LOL I'm just realising how much I usually eat, which I guess is a good realisation -- and also because mostly it's...

Thank you for the tips, and the lovely welcome!! I'm hungry! LOL!

Thank you! I've just realised that I can't stand the porridge. Hmm. I *knew* I should have just gone for all shakes! I guess it tastes slightly different when it isn't covered in cream and sugar lol! Onwards and upwards, I'll just drink some water or something 8-/

I start today! I have 9 days worth of packs, as my consultant can't see me until next Thursday... I'm just having a black coffee, wondering which appetising porridge pack I should have ;) I have 5 stone to lose - and I'm determined to get it off and *keep* it off this time! Looking...

I went to my first Cambridge ''meeting'' last night. I have my supplies, and I start today! 5 stone to lose -- and I'd like it gone by christmas, though that may not be possible, we'll see! I look forward to meeting you all! Kelly
