Quick question. Now I'm on my refeed am I allowed chewing gum? Paul Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Sorry for the late reply Dee. I've lost another 6lbs so that's 2 and a half stone altogether :) My target was to lose between 2-3 stone in 6 weeks and I've managed it in 4 weeks so today I'm starting my refeed then gonna do the maintenence for a month or two. Really looking forward to a tuna...

4th weigh-in and another 6lbs off :)

Just back from my 3rd weigh-in and I'm another 7lbs lighter :) Think I'll do one more week then re-feed then the maintenance. How long can you do the maintenence for? I have no problem doing it for months if needed. Paul

Another 7lbs off :) 30lbs in 3 weeks. Paul

Latest update. I'm still finding this diet ridiculously easy :-) In my opening post I mentioned that I used to be quite sporty and athletic up to 15 years ago. In the past I have won a triathlon and completed two half marathons. Well today I only went and signed up for the 2012 Belfast City...

Sure does. I'm now off with my camera for a 20 mile round trip on the bicycle hopefully without breaking sweat :-) Paul Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Just back from the chemist and I've lost another 7lbs to go with last week's 16lbs :) Paul

Just back from the chemist. Another 7lbs off :bliss: Paul

I think we might also get larger helpings. We add 450ml of water to ours. How much do you ladies add? Paul Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Sorry I haven't updated for a few days. Been busy at work which is probably a good thing. I got the soup to try this week and absolutely love it. All day Friday I was looking forward to it when I got home and was gutted when I found I'd run out of it :-) Still finding this diet extremely easy...

Day 8. Yesterday was probably the hardest day yet. Despite most of Britain basking in record temperatures and sunshine, here in Northern Ireland it was 12 degrees with torrential rain :mad: I knew I wasn't gonna get out with my camera at all so on Friday I bought Formula 1 2011 for the Xbox to...

Just done my first weigh-in and lost 16lbs :) Paul

Day 7 and just back from my first weigh-in. Lost 16lbs :party0049: Decided I wasn't too keen on the vanilla so I've replaced them with soup for this week. I'm thinking that deciding to have a go at this diet might be one of the best decisions I've ever made :) Paul

Day 6 and I'm feeling great as I have done since day 1 :) Half day Friday today so after I collect Dominic from school I'm gonna talk a walk out in the fields with my camera to photograph the buzzards, kestrels and sparrowhawks. I was supposed to do my first weigh-in today, a day early, as I'm...

Day five and I finally caved in......... to the scales. I know I shouldn't have and they've now been banished to the attic. Anyway I'm now a full stone lighter :-) Paul Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Thanks Deezer :-) Don't worry, I've no intention of giving up. I'm loving this! It's the first time I've ever done a diet and to be honest so far I'm finding it way easier than I thought it would be. Today was just a slightly different experience but without that it would be boring :-) Paul...

Feeling slightly different now. Feel weak and it feels like I have something at the bottom of my throat I need to chuck up. Paul Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Just had my first shake of day 4. Still no hunger at all and I can feel and see I've lost a bit of weight. No idea if I am in ketosis or not. I've read about bad breath but it's hard to tell when the taste of those shakes lingers most of the day :) Having my first weigh-in a day early this...

Interesting about the nail biting! I've spent around 30 years biting mine and would love to quit. Paul

Quick update. Day 2 completed and no problems :-) No hunger at all and ready for whatever tomorrow brings. Paul

Quick question. I haven't eaten since Saturday and I feel fantastic and have I've had no hunger whatsoever. I thought the first 3 days where supposed to be the worst or am I one of the lucky ones? Paul

Just a quick update. It's my second day and I feel great :) Just tried the vanilla and I think we have a winner. Off to work soon and not expecting any problems because I know I'll be kept busy. Will update when I get home. Paul

Cheers Deezer. Will do. I'm actually finding them ok but if I get a bit bored of the same taste I'll try that. Thanks. Paul

Thanks Deezer but I don't drink tea or coffee so I'm stuck with shakes and water :-) Paul

Thanks for all the replies and welcomes. My first day is almost over and I can't believe I haven't had any hunger all day! I usually stuff my face on Sunday's! Dinner in mum and dads then snacks watching the football. Just had my second shake (chocolate) and must say I prefer the strawberry...

Hello folks, I'll start by introducing myself a wee bit. My name's Paul and I'm 40 years old. I was always very athletic in my teens and early twentys but because of persistant football injuries I stopped playing and exercising when I was 24. Sixteen years on and I'm now almost 17 stone, and the...
