    well..... I am mad with myself because i had 'bowel' troubles (trying to go) and fibre clear wasnt helping so my gp said i should stick with the diet but have some fruit and veg, which i did. it didnt make much difference toilet wise and i have gained 6 lb over the past two weeks. I have slept...

    CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE!!!!

    i'm thinking along the same lines, gonna keep having the shakes but have a small dinner xmas eve and day (family commitments) and i aim to stay the same. i think as long as you are careful it should be ok, so i plan to have veg and meat on xmas day and leave out the carbs lol

    More water more weight loss???

    i used to make my shakes up with 250ml of water. however, i have reduced it to make it a bit thicker because i find that i can go longer til my next shake if it is a bit thicker. Now i use 200-220ml

    I was going to have a month on maintenance for december, but when i think about it its only for the sake of perhaps three days (xmas eve, day and boxing day) so im not sure now. Might go and see the chemist man and get his opinion. what do others think?

    Bleugh...

    you will definitely regret it, i tried one ,didn't get past the first nibble, it is on a par with liver and Marmite for utter crap-ness. And i was mad at myself as it counted as one of my meals. I still shudder at the though of them lol

    It is a hard habit to get into i find. I quickly forget :s But i want to reach my 20 stone goal for crimbo, so now water is my friend lol Do you know if we can have flavoured water? like the sparkling water you get from asda or tesco with lemon and lime flavouring?

    More water more weight loss???

    drink, drink, drink because you do have better loses. i always take a 2 ltr bottle of sparkling water to work with me, and use my shake beaker lol, seems to go quicker that way (to me anyway lol) I have been at the other end of not drinking enough and the stomach/bowel troubles i got were...

    Omg! So nice yum!

    do you heat them up the same way as the soup? I prepare the soup, stick it in a mug and microwave it. I would love to try the choc hot. I have tried the vanilla with coffee in it and it was very nice, but it was cold (still nice) Another thing i have tried and liked was brewing peppermint tea...

    my poor legs :-(

    I think they are sick of seeing me lol At first they thought maybe an infection so I had antibiotics which did nothing, now I'm on pain killers and use aqueous cream but it makes little difference. I think they just see that I'm big so automatically go with that even though I have shown them I...
