thanks ladies. well i cant do anything about it now can i so suppose no point in dwelling on it. i wont forgive myself until my first weigh in though. i wonder why you cant have spoonable though. seems odd xxx

Thanks, no harm in trying i guess :D

I suppose your right, it was only a level teaspoon. Im still panicing now, plus i feel like i should remove my 100% honk, im a cheat! :( xx

I bet it is. im going to try the soups and flapjacks next week, im fed up of the shakes. Are the flapjacks big/filling?

Today i tried peppermint tea for the first time, i didnt like it and asked if any collegues had any sweetners so i could try it with, she only had this yellow tub with powdered sweeetner (splenda i think), nooooooooooooo what are the implications. i knew it, why didnt i trust my instincts? argh...

Thanks, ill have to have a look, i cant stand it! x

*Insert Swear word here* ive just read this, today i tried peppermint tea for the first time, i didnt like it and asked if any collegues had any sweetners so i could try it with, she only had this yellow tub with powdered sweeetner, nooooooooooooo what are the implications. i knew it, why didnt...

thank god its not just me, was just about to post a new post but i see its common!

Fail: i dont like it! i tried it with sweetner though, just making one without, im not one for sweet drinks really. Not sure if im going to like it though, i think its because i expected it to taste like it smells. im sure im not in ketosis yet, i still have a rumbly tummy all the time! :( xxx

Honk for day 4! Nearly gave in a few mins ago when my partner sat and ate bangers and mash for tea, then ate a packet of my fave chrisps (smokey bacon om nom) and is now sat dunking chocolate chip cookies in a cup of tea. I blame him for the mess im in lol! AND today my boss brought in jam...

Right so got some peppermint tea, and not sure! it smelled amazing! I brewed it for ages to tr and get a good taste but it smells nothing like it tastes! is it a taste i will get used to do you think? its such a bizarre taste! x

I really need to lose the weight for my wedding, not just to feel fab but, if im still using the site when im married it will be the cause of the end of it, im on it so much! Thanks Ella, im going to get some peppermint tea today so ill try it out! xxx

Thanks Jayne, I wont worry then :) x

Thats good to hear, im so nervous but i know it will be worth it x

True! and even better with the loos at work- they are up 2 flights of stairs. I like that, its a positive situation of a negative one x

Aww how fab! We love Barry to bits, really want another but not sure we could handle it. He is just recovering from a fractured leg so the last 8 weeks have been a nightmare, and 18 months ago he tore his achelies tendon! he is a handful! Dont think we could afford another now if we wanted to...

I think going to the loo all the time is worse than rumbling tummy! Might take my net book up and tv and install it in the bathroom haha! x

He is called Barry. He misses me scoffing all the time because he doesnt get titbits any more. Sits next to my boyfriend now, doesnt know i exist any more ha x

Absolutely! Im only brave enough to put a pic of my dog on my avatar lol! x

What a great excuse to lie in bed all day! Thats my plan then, Sleep, drink, loo, sleep, drink, loo! x

Ive read a few posts about peppermint tea, will have to try some, will get some tomorrow and let you know. Is any ok? I dont want to buy one that is not in the rules and mess up! x

I did, i cant believe it, i thought you were about my age from that pic (23) Good work! x

Fingers crossed! Gives me more inspiration not to cheat too so im deffinately in ketosis! x

Hi Guys, Ok so im coming to the end of day 3, and started to think, the weekend is looming. Im getting my eyes lasered on Friday so im hoping this will take my mind off food cravings but also I wont be able to do much to keep me busy! I wondered if any one had any tips and tricks to get...

I cant believe you have an 18 year old daughter?! Is that you or her in your avatar?...x

Yay well done! x

Either that or a nose clip that swimmers wear, think the rest of the office would be suspicious though...... ha

Wow well done! x

LOL! that would make life so much easier. I think im often well aware of calories in things but i choose to ignore them, not any more noooo way. i dont think ill dare once ive battled with this diet, the thought of having to start again will haunt me! x

I told my close friends at work, they cant keep away from it because i whine about being starving all day lol. Every one at my office eats all day too and the smell is torture, im waiting for fish and chip friday, think i might dot olbas oil under my nose to mask the smell ha! x

Wow this really does give me inspiration! Well done! You look like a different person! Amazing x

Good job I talk to my customers over the phone! Think i might start talking out of the side of my mouth to every one else!! x :yuk:

I agree, every one is fabulous and this site is helping me keep sane and stick to it! x :bunnydance:

honk for day 3

haha oh god thats not good!

Thats fabulous, thanks. I think my pharmacist is qualified :confused: she did explain everything to me about how it works and stuff, it was the bit about it 'being able to kill you but we wont test you' that worried me, do you get tested every week as standard that there arent ketones in your...

Im wondering that too, without buying ketostiks, is there any way of knowing when your in Ketosis?

Wish my chemist wasnt so far away :( i would go and exchange my vanilla for Chicken x

oh, an if any one knows otherwise, pretty please let me know, i loved my chewy and feel allmost as lost as not being able to eat food!

Hi, Unfortunately not, i asked this and chewing gum is a big no-no, its 60% carbs, even the sugar free version.

Thanks Tazzi! xxx

Thanks, i guess there is no harm in trying one, im def going to try the soup. I think it will be nice to have something warm. Im deffinately more of a sweet toothed person so wont go over board though. Really enjoyed choc shake icecream last night nom nom xxx

haha love it x

The cold thing really must make a difference, i was freezing last night and went every 5 minutes ha! Right thats it, scarf hat, gloves and lots of layers whilst sat in front of the fire for me haha x

Thanks hun, hope so :) x

Woop woop to you! Im on day 2, bring on day 3! xxx

Im worried about maintaining but since its only day 2 i wont even think about it yet, i just keep focusing on my wedding hehe Being in the office is really hard, the smells of every one elses lunches really linger, but like you say, i will just have to keep thinking how great i feel once the...

Well done! x

Not just me then ha! x

Thats fantastic! Im hoping ill get to the point where i forget about food, because at the moment its all i think about ha! x

Wow well done, i should do this it will motivate me!

Hope so! Cant believe you have managed 14 weeks! well done you. Have you had any 'normal' food in this time? xxx

I asked my pharmasist about testing your urine, she said they do i only if you feel rubbish, but then told me that if there are traces of ketones in your urine that its dangerous and you can die?! should i ask for one? does every one have it every week? i read that you should have it tested...

My pharmacist didnt reccomend the chicken but said the vanilla was her fave, so i didnt take any chicken and took loads of vanilla. I dont like the vanilla so im going to try the chicken i think, i think we might have different tastes! how big are the flapjacks? i imagine they dont fill you as...

Snap! x

How do you know when your in Ketosis? x

Mine is on a SUNDAY :D

Honk for day 2 woop x

Some one at my pharmacy has been doing it since feb and has lost 36kg! i dont think ill stick it out that long! x

Haha, I probably wont! Id quite like a catheter fitted because im sick of going to the loo! Im waiting for my boss to start noticing, he will probably start making me work back the time ha! :p xxx

Weigh in is on Sunday, it will have been 6 days then, im really looking forward to going! I made ice cream for my tea and LOVED IT! i whizzed up lods of ice cubes in the blender to make a slush and then added a thick shake, it was really really nice, and nice to eat something with a spoon...

Yep, like a sad fool i drunk it!! didn’t have any choice really, i was starving! Cringed with every mouthful! haha desperate times! Feeling hungry but not too bad, planning on doing my nails tonight to keep me busy, last night was the hardest! x

Lol Thanks Slaney. Well i feel better this morning, tired but thats expected. I ruined my breakfast though haha. Planned to make a yummy iced coffee, got carried away and accidentally put the Strawberry shake in it! OMG! gross! I have to laugh though. and look forward to lunch..... xxx

Wow how fabulous! This has really inspired me as im on my first day and struggling ha! Really gives me a reason to carry on reading other successes. Well done x

Thanks to all of you for the reply, its great to hear its not just me who struggles (even though its day 1! :o) Keeping up with the water is really helping, i just need to focus on getting through the week. Been reading a few posts, think im going to try a vanilla and coffee shake for...
