    Exercise - is it safe?

    Just take it easier than u usually might would be my advice... Not sure how far into this you are... but with SSing you need to allow your body to adjust to the lower calorie intake for the first few weeks.. Then Light exercise is recommended! Walking and swimming are great... just nothing...

    i've cheated and fill so down now.

    Hey Laurie, You've done so well and been so encouraging to other minimins! Just pick urself up, dust yourself off and continue the way things were... You can't UNeat something. Just learn from the experience and don't be too hard on yourself. Definitely agree about finishing the other packs...

    ketosis - how long?

    I was in Ketosis on day two due to my good preparation. The mental hunger is a killer. You have taken away an addiction so it's natural it will be quite a struggle to cope with the mental hunger. However... once you see the weight start coming off then it fills you with extra motivation and...

    Did anyone watch Diet Doctors tonight???

    I saw it... and felt sorry for her... but it was shown in a really biased light... purely based on that one case! Obviously she was unable to stick to the rules... so it is to be expected that she wasn't going to succeed!

    "Weigh-in" question

    I don't know if it depends on your counsellor... Mine weighs me... but I think so long as they keep a record it doesn't really matter. Unless of course it matters to you... in which case you might say to your counsellor that you wonder if it would be a possibility that they could weigh you...

  167. bigbluefurrymonster

    Is it true in week 3 the loss is rubbish?

    But a week one loss of 12 lbs is amaaaaazing!!! My fourth week has been pretty pathetic so far... might be due to time o the month.. but I agree you should definitely look at it all as a whole! In my mind I am saying... I want to lose a stone a month! That is adequate for me! It is still a lot...

    Sensible Decision

    So.... Yesterday I took delivery of my treadmill.... and learnt a valuable lesson... There is no way on this diet that you should overdo it! I know that Icemoose had warned of not overdoing exercise... and I took hede of that advice. So it was knackering getting the treadmill upstairs...
  187. bigbluefurrymonster

    Can you tell me you favourite bars or most disliked even

    I didn't particularly like any... sorry! The caramel and toffee were most favourable though! Though there are no bars in my next order! I quite like the idea of putting them in the freezer though... maybe this improves them! x

    Sorry to hear that you're finding it so tough!! Did you do any preparation before starting the diet? I found that this helped me loads...
