I am going to wait until tomorrow afternoon and weigh myself then for a proper reading and it is my weigh day officially. I have never been so upset than i was this morning as i have been so good for the whole week i am hoping it is that i just am heavier after a night shift - silly me

Thanks LED i am hoping that is the problem me weighing straight after a night shift, i will weigh myself on the way to work tonight as im on nights tonight too. I do shift work so i do a mixture of days and night shifts. Hopefully there will be a bit of a difference in the weight. Its so hard on...

Ok after my nightshift i decided to weigh myself for a bit of a boost however i have only lost 2lbs in my first week although my official weigh day is tomorrow... I am totally distraught and could sit here and cry when i have stuck to the diet for the whole week and made myself drink my soups...

Fab, i have so much energy today so its time to go back to work :-) i took off a week to get into the programme as couldnt face doing 12 and half hour days or nights being exhausted and i am pleased i did. One thing im not looking forward to is the talking to patients with my manky breath ha ha ha

Well today has been a struggle as i am thinking of food alot but i know i have made the right decision to go onto this diet. I had my coke zero and a bar and i was satisfied with that. I just want my weigh in to come sooner as i need to see how i am getting on. I am freezing cold so heating on...

Got to my parents and they are cooking their delicious roast dinner my god it smells so good. I have come onto here to read some more success stories to keep me occupied. I am going to sit down with them and drink a can of coke zero as my 5th day treat.

Listerine strips it is then.. work colleagues will be wondering what my obsession with them is all about, luckily they know the diet i am doing and some of the girls have done it so they will know its the diet... or i am going to put a sign up saying my BEWARE diet gives me smelly breath ha ha

Hello everyone i am due to start my 3 nights shifts on Monday and i am dreading it as i do not know how i am going to cope. Does anyone do nights and have they got any tips for me?

Im on day 4 and feel fine - i had headaches for the first 2 days but now i am beginning to have alot more energy and starting to enjoy my days off rather then being in bed ha ha!

I would find it so much easier if i could have 3 bars a day as they are scrummy and sometimes i struggle to drink the soups i really have to force them down

Ha ha thank goodness i didnt try with a shaker then.... yeah i use cold water to a paste then add hot water.. Thanks for all the replies

Sarahb2 - how do you manage on nights? as im on nights next week and dreading it

Well done that is a great loss i hope mine next week is like that... im only on day 2 ha ha

I get a horrible taste in my mouth which prob smells but its difficult to smell it yourself ha ha!! i will have exceptionally clean teeth by the time i finish this diet and my mouth spray is with me constantly couldnt leave the house without my spray or my toothbrush!!!

Hi determinator That is a relief hearing that the headaches will go as they are horrible. Paracetemol has been fully stocked in my cupboard ready ha ha! Wow you have lost so much weight well done...

Good luck i am on day 2 so far and feeling a bit exhausted (but not done anything) thank goodness i am off work until monday i am hoping by then i will be feeling great... start cutting the carbs now ready for when you begin the diet and drink more water so you prepare your body i did this...

I am on day 2 and i am hoping it gets easier the headaches are horrendous and my fluid intake is very high.. i tend to sleep quite a bit though.. but i am so determined to loose the weight for my holidays. The bars are edible and the soups are ok with some pepper for extra flavour. I didnt order...

i have managed to get them to be smooth now i mix with cold water first and then add the hot water.. i love the bars though yum yum and they are very filling

Thank you all.... first day done now on the 2nd the headaches are not nice i hope this soon goes

Hi I have started today but i have noticed when i make up the soups they become very lumpy still how can i prevent this other than a blender as its not possible at work?!?!?! HELP PLEASE
