It's really getting me down Jools, especially at night when it keeps me awake. I didn't get this problem last time I did the diet :( How long did your cramps take to go after u came off the diet?

I'm the same Camille, I constantly feel cold. Last time I did the diet was in May last year so was warmer then. Just got to wrap up warm ;) I'm having trouble at the moment with leg cramps which I've found out is a side effect of the diet. Had it all week and it's really bad night times and...

21lbs in three weeks is a wicked loss LilyPotter, well done! I know what u mean about not wanting to spoil it by eating but I also have to eat this weekend as its my hubby's birthday too and we are off out for a meal. I'm going to stick to a basic chicken salad as that shouldnt harm the diet :)

That's excellent LilyPotter, well done! How long have you been doing the diet?

Well done Camille, 3lbs is still good. I think we always expect a big loss each week but any loss is still a step in the right direction. My weigh in day is tomorrow so I'm hoping for a good loss for my third week :)

Sorry to hear your coming off the diet Jools but you have to do what's best for you and it's not worth sticking on the diet if it's making you so miserable. Good luck with WW and please keep in contact through this thread and keep us updated on your progress :) I enjoy the bars too Camille, I...

Thanks for the advice guys, will stick to that :) Hope your head feels better soon Jools :(

Don't be annoyed with yourself Jools, it's done now just put it behind you and move on. We all learn by our mistakes ;)

Oh no Jools, you have been doing so well :( Nevermind dont beat yourself up about it - just put it down to a one off blip and get back on it. Did u enjoy the cake?

Think I'm going to go to bed early, least then if I'm asleep I won't be craving food! Good night fellow Shrinkers :)

Try and take your mind off your food cravings Natasha, if you give in you will really regret it. Just think if you get through this bad patch how proud of yourself you will be! Please be strong, you can get through this. I'm also craving food but trying to focus on the reasons I'm doing this...

Well done Skippy! That's a good loss in your first week even with a cheat ;) Gives you the determination to keep going doesn't it :)

Had my second week weigh in this morning and have lost 3lbs so that's a total loss of 12lbs in two weeks so I'm pleased with that. Just gotta keep up the good work :) Welcome to The Shrinkers to all newbies, look forward to speaking to you all :)

Well done Camille, that's a wonderful loss! Well done for that will power on your birthday :)

Well done Jools, 2.5lbs is a good loss, keep up the good work! Natasha - I find weekends hard too. During the week is fine as Im in a work routine and have something to keep my mind occupied. Weekends are also harder for me as me and my hubby always go out for lunch on a Saturday and may get a...

Well done Camille on sticking to the diet on your birthday, that takes a lot of willpower and I admire you for that. Bet u feel better in yourself for resisting temptation too :) Natasha - your evening outing sounded lovely. I love looking at the sky at night and am still waiting to see a...

Happy Birthday Camille, enjoy your day! :)

I don't blame you Jools, I'm really craving something to eat :(

We might as well sit on the loo whilst we drink our water and just let it run through, lol ;)

I know it's so hard Skippy but we must remain positive, I keep drinking the water to try and take the cravings away. Might drown soon ;)

Im the opposite, I like my smoked salmon cooked :) Just watched your video diary, really inspirational and I hope you achieve your target hun. We will be here to help you all the way :)

I would have a hard time resisting that salmon Natasha as thats my favourite! Ive just cooked roast potatoes and pie for my other half but that doesnt appeal to me...luckily! Thanks for all your positive comments, will try and keep busy in the evenings to keep my mind off my cravings and hope...

Evening all Sorry I havent been on here much the last few days but have had a very stressful couple of days at work and its been knackering me out of an evening. I also find myself feeling quite tired on this diet, does anybody else? Just read back through all the threads and you all seem...

Well done Natasha :)

Evening all fellow shrinkers What a day I've had!! Been so hectic at work and everything has been going wrong :( Least its taken my off the hunger pangs. Been really craving something nice to eat, last night was a killer but I'm trying to keep on track :) How's everyone doing? :)

Good Morning Ladies My first weigh in this morning and I've lost 9lbs in my first week so I'm pleased with that. Gives me the motivation to keep going.... :) How's everyone doing?

No need to be nervous Minnie you will be fine, especially when the weight starts to come off :)

Well done Em, 3lbs is good :)

I haven't tried the mousse powders or the water flavours. Is the mousse powder worth trying?

Good luck Snowy and stay focused. You will get all the support you need on this forum :-)

Well done, you look great! :)

I like the veg soup :-)

You look like a new woman and I bet you feel like it too, well done!!! :-)

Welcome to The Shrinkers Minnie :)

So it's not just me Jools. Since being on this diet my eyesight has been more blurry! Didn't know whether I needed another trip to the opticians!

Thanks Siobhan, probably just my eyesight getting worse lol ;)

Welcome to The Shrinkers NatashaGabrielle :)

Question: Anyone finding there eyesight getting worse on this diet? I wear glasses for reading, tv etc but since starting the diet have found my eyesight worse and blurry at times. Not sure if my eyesight has got worse or the diet is affecting it!

Good luck today Gorgeous, lol I use a hand blender to mix my shakes as I find they come out powdery in the manual cups. The good thing about going out sober is no hangover the next day :) you won't be self conscious after being on this diet for a few weeks as the weight will drop off and the...

Good luck tomorrow Gorgeous. Don't forget to keep drinking the water ;)

Morning all :) Well done on your weight loss in your first week Camille, that's brill. Gives u the incentive to keep going! I'm excited for my first weigh in tomorrow to see what I've lost.

Well done Jools, you should be so chuffed with yourself. Thats a great start, keep up the good work! I hope I have such good results on Tuesday :)

Glad your car boot went well, good going making £180! Got the delicious smell of roast potatoes coming from the kitchen as my hubby is making his Sunday dinner so Ive just had my banana shake to try and curb the temptation!! Good luck with your weigh in tomorrow Em :)

Good afternoon Shrinkers! Feeling good today, took my mind off it by getting all the housework up to date this morning. Now time for a shake and to chill. Hows everyone doing? Jools - Good luck with your weigh in today, let us know how you get on...:)

You have had a mad day with all that driving around and sorting stuff, Good Luck with your car boot tomorrow ;) Im hoping to reach my target before my holiday and trying to stay motivated to do so! Last time I did the diet last year I managed to maintain the weight loss for a few months but...

Thats a brilliant loss of 14lbs in the first week last time you did the diet. I also am on my second attempt at the diet, did it for the first time last year and lost 8lbs in my first week - hoping for about the same loss in my first week this time or maybe abit more :) Im hoping for at least a...

Siobhan & Camille - How long have you been on the cd?

I couldnt bake cakes on this diet as I love licking the bowl too much ;)

That's will power! My hubby is getting a Chinese takeaway tonight so going to be drooling later :( I'm feeling quite hungry today but drinking lots of water to take the hunger pangs away which is now making me feel cold, brrr!!

I know what you mean Jools, I sat in Wetherspoons earlier with my black coffee watching people around me eating burger and chips - it all smelt delicious! But we can fight this and look forward to a slimmer, healthier body. Be strong ;) We can do it!! :):):):):):)

Skippy - Don't worry just get back on track today, it's a new day and a new start. We are all here to support you and get you through this. It is hard, I've so wanted to eat but have managed to keep on track - not sure how ;) Good luck restarting today. Camille - You have all the motivation...

Morning fellow Shrinkers! I'm on day 6 and feeling good! Just off into town for a bit of shopping and might pop into Wetherspoons with the hubby for a black coffee. Hope you all have a lovely day :)

Thats a good idea Camille, I should maybe get my hubby to hide the scales. They are too easy to step onto for a sneaky peek :D

Sneaky weigh ins do keep me motivated to keep going Skippy, looking forward to my weigh in on Tuesday to see what my weight loss is in week one - always the biggest :) Like you say Jools the second weigh in loss will be less but we must all keep focused! Sas - As Jools said, don't let the...

Well done Jools, that's a brilliant loss so far :) Keep up the good work! Skippy - Once you get through the first few days it will get easier. We can all help each other through this, I find it helps to talk to u guys. Yes summer is on its was and I want to get into that bikini :)

My weigh in day is Tuesday, although I did have a sneak peak on the scales yesterday and had lost 5lbs in two days :)

A couple of grapes won't make a bit of difference Jools, we all have our blips. Just get straight back on it :) I'm on Day 4 and feeling good, had to do a shopping trip to Tesco last night which was a killer but stayed strong! How's everyone doing?

Wow, looking good and I bet feeling great!! Well done, inspirational :)

Thanks Jools :)

Wow, you look like a new man! Well done and very inspirational :) Thanks for sharing your photos with us.

Will have a bash and see if I can do it myself, lol

Can someone tell me how to get The Shrinkers image at the bottom of my posts please :-)

Skippy - dont put off till tomorrow what you can do today. Youve made a start so stick with it - the end result will be worth it :)

Well done, your looking fab! Keep up the good work :)

Wow, well done! Inspirational :)
