You are all soooo lovely and helpful - made me tearful all over again (but in a good way). I have been having two tetras and a soup a day as it was easier for work. Hubby has been making his shakes in the blender for the past two days and they looked yummy. Got time off coming up so will try...
Hi,
Sorry to be on a downer but sat at work in tears because I am soooo hungry. I am due my second weigh in tonight and have stuck 100% to this but the past four days I have been starving, not just in my head a physical feeling that reduces me to tears on a daily basis.
I do not want to be...
Hi
My hubby is in the forces as well so I know how difficult these occasions can be!!!! The best one for me was when I sent my steak back because it was rare, by the time it came back all the pots and veg had gone - problem solved ha ha.

Hi
Have spent the last hour pouring over threads that deal with the " bum blocked" problem but it all seems so contradictory what you can and what you can't have. Tried phoning CDC but not in boo hoo.
I have taken a ducolax to try and clear it for the moment but have suffered from day one and...
Hi - I worried about this as my doctor is very old fashioned but he never even wanted to see me. Just phone the surgery, tell them you have a form for him to sign and drop it off - thats what happened with me but it did take him 5 days to get round to it had to put the diet off for another...
Thank you all sooooo much would not have got through Sat if I had not logged on here - gonna start putting lard in his shakes if he keeps dropping more than me lol only kidding he has been a brick for me, he really does not need to do this diet but for moral support he joined me - better than a...

You are the better person for not responding to childish comments like that! Be positive next time he comes he wont recognise you and you can point out the error of his ways then. won't his face be a picture.

Good for you - I am halfway through day one and so far so good but I am hungry!!. It does worry me every time I read that day 3 is the worst or some say day 4 or some say a week!
I feel like I am sitting here just waiting for all the bad things to happen - is there anyone who did not go...
