    Slim Fast Beforehand

    When I first went into ketosis my mouth felt fuzzy. Drinking water and brushing teeth helped and did have an allowed breath spray for work just in case. But after about 3 weeks didn't have to worry about it.

    Slim Fast Beforehand

    I only had a week to wait before I started. I cut down sweet things, and probably halved my potato/bread/pasta/rice. Nothing too drastic, I didn't want to feel deprived the week before starting cause that first week is easier if you aren't thinking about food.

    Slim Fast Beforehand

    I didn't do anything much before starting, except started getting used to tea without milk and cutting down a bit on carbs. I wouldn't do slimfast, looked at the ingredients years ago and it wasn't a proper nutritional meal replacement like LL.

    Really want to

    Hi, I also look at it as divide the total by 28 packs and its less than a gourmet coffee or a sandwich each meal. Its so worth it for the losses you get.

    My losses are quite slow, between 2 to 3lbs per week, but it all adds up. So happy bunny all in all. I will definitely add more goals on the way but I don't like to look too far ahead, it can be overwelming. I just add the next goal when I'm close to reaching the current goal. And I love...

    Eatlikeabird's Diary

    I'm feeling every bit of the 4 months 3 weeks, but I'm sticking with it. Keeping my eye on the next targets of my next smaller jeans (about an inch to go) and getting below 13 stone, then on to the 5 stone mark and a bmi below 30. I'm loving taking out tops and jeans that I had stored away for...

    Hi Nzmegs, Well done, good for you dodging the chocolate temptations. I completely agree with what you said about the diet will work if you stick to it and if you have a low loss week its not because you did anything to sabotage it. I always felt on other diets when I stuck to them 100% and...

    here we go again!

    Hi Pixie, I've lost 4 stone so far and I'm hoping to reach goal for end of March too. Looking forward to your posts.

    Aw Spangly, allow yourself a night off, guilt free. Don't feel embarrassed, think of it as bonding with colleagues. Challenge this thinking, do you go out every night and overindulge? no. I bet its once in a blue moon, so hold onto the fact that on the night you enjoyed yourself and sod the...

    Hi Lorna, If you are fed up of the packs and wanting to have food...why don't you talk to your LLC about doing a few weeks of Lite to lose the last bit. You have to stick to it, so no crisps etc but a salad is actually something I found I enjoyed when I hadn't eaten in so long, even with no...

    Yay, the xl pj's are actually a bit big will try the large next time. Aw I actually was tear'ing up when Chelsey got her scores for the 'pasha' doble. She is sweet.

    I find I'll say how much I've lost or how much I want to lose, but not both and not how much I weigh. I think I'm a bit ashamed of how much total weight I had to lose to get to a BMI of 25. I carry weight well so people always underestimated how much I weighed. Well done on your mid week loss.

    I'm using the one recommended on here, Marigold, organic swiss boullion. I'm almost out of it and I keep forgetting to get another one. We have a store here called Penny's that recently had a revamp and carries alot of new stock, I saw today the tags now say primark so is probably the same...

    Hi Spangly, I was brought up that I had to try to get 100% at everything, and it made me a bit of a perfectionist. When I worked for a world wide corporation they actually said I HAD to accept ambiguity and things should be 80/20. It was really hard for me, but probably a good thing to try to...

    I saw that Scotland had a weather red zone warning for gales and that children were sent home at lunch to get home safely. I was wondering how you were doing. I'm just having a hot broth after a hot 'fruits' drink. I just am so cold. I have a nice fire going in the woodstove but just can't...

    2lbs for me tonight. Losses are steady so just keeping going. I'll have to get out my size 16 jeans soon and see how close or far I am from wearing them. Everyone at group tonight said how much of a difference they can see with my weightloss, which is nice. Have to keep it in my head though...
