Well, it's been a very difficult time. I've seen a consultant who thinks the tumour may be an FNH but I have to wait for an MRI to confirm now. I've started my new job and I am enjoying it but driving nearly 400 miles a week is really taking its toll. I tried sticking to just extra protein...

Thank you Spangles. Still vv v down. Had a CT scan today and they wouldn't tell me the result but promised to fax it quickly to GP. GP surgery confirmed this afternoon they had received and promised a doctor would phone this evening with the results to put me out of my misery. No phone call...

Hi SST, I'm in Redhill and see Ali Church - only been doing it 2 weeks but she seems really nice and genuine. W x

Yay you!!!! Drink lots and lots of early nights and before u know it, you'll be in ketosis! Xxx

Hi there, you have done so well so far - just try to keep in your mind your ultimate goal and how much better you will feel when you get there. As Icemoose has said, there are 2 types of people who do a vlcd - those who see it as a prison and self sabotage their way out of it, and those who see...

Thanks Spangles x

Thank you! Means such a lot to have your support x

Hi Sarah Lou, thanks for your message, it was lovely to hear from you. Well it's day 11 today and I've had a terrible day. I had my specialist liver scan this afternoon and the doc said he didn't know what the unidentified object in my liver is. He said it didn't look like a haemangioma...

Yeah, there's deffo far too much politics in education! Essentially I will b the breadwinner this year as hubby only has 2 days a week as he's starting a Masters course so i'm working 4 days self employed (so nothing in hols) so things will b very tight but hopefully a lot, lot happier. We both...

Good for you, Leah! You made the decision that was right for you and you have the courage to keep coming back here to update us. I'm so glad WW is working for you and I certainly intend to use it when I have lost enough to feel better about myself so I can cope with a slower loss. That might...

Hi Mrs Elf! You can do it! Keep the fluids flowing to block out hunger until ketosis kicks in and you'll be fine! I was going to loo every 30 mins or so the first couple of days! X

Hi Spangles, glad to hear your doing so well. I know what u mean re the pasty. I was shopping with pals at Bluewater last night and they wanted a pizza express. I could've cried, pizza is our fave junk food. Anyhoo, at least I got to order baby a kids spaghetti bol and got a lot of pleasure out...

Thanks guys!! Just had a choc orang mux a mousse which was rank. Despite mixing it in the blender, it set with lots of gelatin lumps. Ughhh. Anyone else have this prob / kno of a solution?! Thanks. Nice choc tetra for supper later :)

Thanks guys, soo happy. Sitting here sipping my reduced salt bouillion and trying to summon the energy to take baby to the park! X

Ah thanks Nette. Got my wi at 10am so v excited (and hungry - our packs ran out last night). My scales say 2 lbs heavier than yesterday so hope that's just an anomaly. Think I've done a stone (hope!), but will update after wi. X

Day 8 today and feeling a lot more normal. Can't wait for wi tomomorrow!!! Think I've done a least a stone but don't know where I was on my scales to start with. But - my towel nearly goes all the way round now, whereas it was miles apart round my hips before. Clothes are definitely loser and...

Thanks Chlo x

As the title really - can anyone help / offer advice please? Official wi for week 1 tomorrow but kno my scales have stayed static since thurs :(

Hubby and I are now on day 7 (wi not til Mon) and when we saw the CDC last week, we already had the forms signed as she'd warned us when I called her the first time then dropped the forms round - we then got a doc appt and got them signed in advance of our first meeting. She said at that...

Spangles, it's sooo hard isn't it, coming to terms with all our emotional hang ups re food?! I know why I eat and it's very different reasons to my husband. I don't fell ready to discuss this particular issue on minimins yet but in a nutshell, food was withheld from me, or it was easier for me...

Hi Spangles, That's great, are you SS? Well, it's Day 4 for me today and I'm SOOOOO proud of myself - I cooked a meal from scratch for my baby (been using ready made since the weekend although he's still had fresh fruit / cereal / snacks etc. I cooked - from scratch - a HUGE deal for me as I...

Hi Spangles! Thanks for ur message, nice to hear from you. How long have u been doing this? W x

Anyone know? Last time I did CD (2008), you could add a small meal every fifth week... Think I will up to SS+ every fifth week in any case - need my chicken kebab to look forward to!!!! Thanks, W :)

Hmm, my update via my iphone hasn't appeared so here's my update for the second time! Day three today and the ravenous hunger, nausea and relentless fatigue are starting to subside a bit. Hubby and I have been experiencing 'foodcillations' and foaming at the mouth at the thought of previously...

Well, onto Day 3 today and starting to feel a bit better. Last 2 days have been plagued with hunger, nausea and extreme fatigue but feel a bit more like me today. Both hubby and I have been experiencing 'foodcillations' and feeling quite sad about missing food but we just play with our son...

Hi everyone! Well, here I am again. Only this time is the biggest I've ever been. 20 st 10 lbs of me :(. I have 8 stone 3 lbs to lose. I'm married with the most gorgeous little baby boy ever - he's 9.5 months and into everything, having learnt to crawl two weeks ago! So, why am I here...
