I also got mine after week 2. I freaking love them, it's hard to only have one a day. It's great to actually chew something!

I tried making my shakes hot, but I find they get unbearably sweet. Does anyone else find that too?

I have to put in loads more water, otherwise it gets too gluey when it cools, and then it's vile.

I always knew my Mathis was rubbish. I've lost nearly 6 stone, not 5. Lol

I've lost nearly 5 stone, and started as a size 22. I'm now a 12/14 so it's been about a dress size for every stone, although the smaller I get, the more I seem to need to lose to get into the next dress size down. I've been a 14 for ages now. I've bought about 7 pairs of skinny jeans in a size...

Colin Firth is too old to be cast as Christian, sadly :(

I read all 3 in 3 days, and then read them all again a few days later. Totally and utterly hooked. Laters!

I can't remember exactly, but i think mine was about 9lbs my first week. I've lost 81.5 lbs so far, with just another 17 to go to goal. :)

Your mind needs to be in the right place in order for this to work. If you have your 'I can do it' head on, then you can make it work. Get back on the wagon, don't let this ruin it overall for you. I've been on this diet on and off for over a year, and every now and then I just couldn't help...

I tried having some warm shakes, but I found they tasted too sweet - sickly almost. Does anyone find the same?

You're not supposed to have tea that comes from, or has any fruit derivatives. It's supposed to be leaf tea, as far as I know. I don't know if it affects ketosis, so you should probably check with your CDC.

I'm sorry to hear that, Mikey. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your journey. I hope you're still dropping the pounds, and are enjoying yourself!

I have suffered major hair loss, but my GP assured me (as has everyone on here) that is is temporary, and will grow back. I have also heard that the more you drink, the better it is. As long as you're not chucking back 4 litres in a morning, then you're probably going to be OK. I have found...

I'm utterly obsessed. I weight myself religiously every single morning, and stress all day if i haven't either lost or stayed the same. Some days it will go up by half a kilo, and I'm flabbergasted, because I stick to the diet religiously, and drink nearly 4 litres svery single day. I think...

I pay £43 a week for 7 bars, 14 shakes

I started the diet in February last year, but only had 5/6 weeks on it before I was made redundant, and then couldn't justify the cost. I then started again in August /September last year, and made it to just before Christmas when I chose to take a couple of weeks off for Christmas and New...

My aim was to be done by the end of June, as we're going away on holiday. So that's 8 weeks to lose 14 kilos, can I do it?? I'd better! lol

My target weight is also based on my BMI being 25, which would mean I need to lose another 10 kilo's. At the rate I'm losing now (a kilo a week) I just can't bear having to do this for another 10 weeks. I'm fitting into size 12/14 trousers, so I think I will stop when I get to fit into a 12...

I agree! I struggle on weekends when I wake up later, and have less time to drink! lol

Good luck to you both, vadey and gooneruk74. This diet is hard, and there will be days when you will have to walk away from temptation (literally and figuratively). But when you see those pounds dropping off, it's all the motivation you need!

Honk! 12 days after falling off the wagon. lol

Now be honest! I used to have 2.5 to 3 litres every day. I buy sparkling water (can't abide plain flat water) in bulk from Costco, and find myself buying 10 or so a month,which have 24 in each. I've been increasing it this last week, and have 2.5 litres at work (5 bottles), and then have...

I always add more water than I need to, otherwise it's too thick and sticky. Why don't you add cinnamon, it should help the taste.

I've noticed that the more I get into the diet, the slower the weight loss. It really is demotivating, but I am learning that if I just drink more water and do some gentle exercising, it helps. I am going into the gym next week to start swimming. I think my body has adjusted to the diet, and...

Oh yes. I especially feel resentful to those who eat food around me. lol I am a right grumpy cow these days.

I'm in trouble with my wardrobe, because all the 'small clothes' I've kept for years and years fits me, and some of it is just too big. :D It's a great feeling, but I feel sad that I have to give more of my wardrobe to charity. I'd better keep the weight off, because this time I am not hanging...

I get sick of the same porridges and shakes, so I also try and mix it up as much as possible. I'm forcing the soups down now to keep hold of the bars and shakes. I used to ADORE the Oriental chilli soup, and now it just makes me gag when I have it.

I adore the maple and pecan, I may just go back and buy it after I've come off the diet. Apple and cinnamon is ok, but I force myself to have it every few days so that I don't get sick of the same porridge every day. I generally have porridge for breakfast, a shake or bar for dinner, and a...

I love this thread! You're all doing so well, and I really enjoy hearing about how happy you all are fitting into old favourite clothes! I've had loads of clothes up in the loft for years that I've brought down to wear, and a lot of it is just too big now, so I can see a new wardrobe heading...

Awesome post! You must be so thrilled! I can't wait to get to goal, I have about 2 stone to go, and I'm already down from a size 22, to 14/16. It's going quite slowly though, which is frustrating. Well done!

My counselor has told me we can't get the original flavour anymore, just the maple and pecan, or apple and cinnamon.I love the maple and pecan one the best!

HONK - day 25 and still 100%!

I've been back on the diet after going off it at Christmas and then not getting back on for January.... and February. I managed to put 10 kilos back on, but I was literally eating like a pig, all day. I've been back on for just shy of 4 weeks, and the first and second weeks were a good loss...

Good luck with it, once your clothes start feeling lose, it's the best feeling ever, and it's how I convince myself to stick with ss. I've gone from a dress size 22 to an 18 (going on 16) and I am freaking thrilled. I keep on glancing at my reflection in every reflective surface possible!! :D :D

Well, one of my colleagues has been away for 2 weeks and the first thing she said to me was how much thinner my face was. I've got no current photo's of myself, although I will have loads at the end of the month, as we're going away It's going to be a real test, as it's a weekend of drinking...

I'm on the opposite side of the spectrum. Only 1 person at work has noticed my weight loss, and it's been a bit disheartening to be honest. They all know I'm doing it (you'd have to be blind and stupid not to know) and yet only 1 person has noticed. Even my best friend (who I had not seen for...

It's hard, isn't it? I came back to the diet last month, and the weight is coming off nicely, although I seem to be plateauing now. Cooking for the family can be pure torture, and I got them pizza on Friday, I just wanted to snatch a piece and cram it in!

I could never have the same shakes every day, as I know I'd get bored too easily and cheat. As it is, the only soup I like (and I freaking LOVE them, to be honest) is the oriental chilli and the chicken and mushroom. I love all the shakes except for the cappuccino (way too sweet), and I have a...

I also only just 4 lbs this week, which I was really disappointed by. Saying that, I have dropped a dress size in 3 weeks, so I'm not complaining!

I try to have the philosophy I want to lose weight more than I want that slice of pizza, or that lovely baked potato, or or or. I have been seriously overweight and have gone to clinically obese for the whole of my 20's,and now almost half of my 30's, and I've had enough! I liken it to being...

I am going to a huge get together tomorrow, and everyone will be eating and drinking. My husband is pleased, as that means for once I will be the designated driver. I am actually looking forward to the challenge, as if I can resist this, I can resist anything!!!!!

You have done really well!! You must be so proud of yourself!!

That takes some effort to resist!! I am really impressed, well done!

Hi Sonya, thanks for the lovely welcome! :D My husband and kids fully support me on this, they really are good. They've always loved me for who I am, and have never pressurised me into losing the weight. I am so stubborn, and refuse to let the fact that I can't eat affect how I cook for my...

Strange you say that. I really hate fresh coriander, yet it's very subtle in the soup. I really do like it, actually.

I think the chili soup is the best, for some reason I just cannot abide the rest - I would truly rather go hungry than eat them!

Hi everyone! I have about 6 stone to lose, but obviously I'd love to lose more, and get close to the weight I was before I had kids. I have two 14 year old twins, and a 4 year old boy. I've just let the weight pile on now for the last 12 years or so. It's not just a matter of vanity, but I...
