I think I am in ketosis!!! Woke up with more energy and dont feel starving like the last few days! Yay! Am still going to try to save weigh-in but we shall see....

thanks persephone, that helps :-) bordersgirl, I have tried your suggestion today...had first shake at 10.30, 2nd at 2.30, and will have my spag bol at 6 (or as long as I can last!) I think it has made some difference, but I have still been hungry! But on the positive side (about time lol) I am...

Will look into the ketosticks. Not noticed any signs yet :-( but I live in hope lol. I have first pack at 7.30am, soup pack at 12 and last one about 5pm, have struggled to hold out any longer, tonight for example I was actually shaking with hunger by ten to five! Thanks for advice, will see what...

Thanks borders :-) I am managing so far on sheer willpower but if I can do one day, I can do another! And another.....hopefully the hunger will stop soon, but if not (OMG!) then will just have to keep going and telling myself it will be all worth it in the end :-)

Oh this is the worst day so far for me, craving food so badly, starving hungry and ready to throw the towel in! Have been back and forward to the fridge but so far have resisted. I was only going to have a slice of turkey ham but I know that if I eat just one thing I wont be able to stop :-( and...

Thankyou that is a bit of a lifesaver lol, will be dropping in the supermarket on way home cos I am very bored of black coffee and water! Much appreciated x

Bordersgirl you are my new hero! Thankyou so much for that, can't believe I was getting carried away over a teaspoon of skimmed milk lol! Really appreciate the carbs info, now feel like my halo is back in place (pretty much lol) although having said that, will try to stick no milk at all, and...

Oh jeez, I cant believe that I am getting carried away over a teaspoon of skimmed milk!

Guys....am not having good day, nearly at end of day 4 now and still so starving hungry. Was desperate to eat and talked myself in and out of it a hundred times. The best diversion I could settle for was a huge mug of coffee with the tiniest splash of milk. Now, I know that compared to previous...

Hi jacey, good luck! I'm on day 4 and also want two stones off by Xmas! This is a brilliant forum, the support is great and everyone is really friendly. Keep us posted!

Wow good self control! It won't be drink I miss, but am struggling with hunger pains, and will have to relearn new habits ie not sitting scoffing all the time!

Either great willpower or great violence control lol!

By the way VJ, Xmas food is supposed to be naughty lol, but we would hopefully have two stones off by then and can have a few days off......

Hmm what is it about men that make them not understand this diet lol. I have tried to explain it about twenty times now. Anyway, onto day 4, am at work but have quiet day which is good. However, am having a bit of a mind struggle though, prior to starting this, if I finished early, I would dash...

Oh heaven help me, having awful evening, starving hungry and sooo tempted to eat. Bloody OH sat there and ate 2 bags of crisps then a plate of cheese and crackers (this is after a big evening meal btw!) and then said "hmm I could eat some malt loaf now" Aaarghh! I got up and said "thats IT! I am...

Ha, I lurve the "don't exercise" thing lol, like I need any persuasion! :-) I hate exercise, I have a (size 8) friend who is at the gym every day and runs 5k three eves a week. Even if it meant I could be a size 8 I still couldn't do that!!!! I always see these people who enjoy exercise and...

Thanks, have survived day two and now day three awaits! Last night very hard, had to really stop myself caving about fifty times. But kept reading stories on here for inspiration and the support from you guys kept me going....can't thank you enough! Am hoping it gets easier from today on, but am...

Thanks for handy hints....today been so different, have felt hungry but not starving or sick and shaky like yesterday. Haven't even got a headache today. Feeling positive, so far so good! :-)

Thanks guys:-) today so far hasn't been as bad hunger wise. Typically though the OH arranged for us to meet friends for pub lunch. On day 2!!!!!! Have been very good, had my soup and drank plain water otherwise. But OH wound me up, as did friends, all saying "oh, have something today and have a...

Well I made 1 DAY of the diet, yay! Last night was awful, the OH had gone to bed, the kids were in bed and that is when I usually do my secret eating. And I was sooo hungry. Then I started arguing with myself, "this is torture, go eat, maybe just a piece of cheese" "no, I want to succeed" "but...

Thanks, was feeling ready to chuck myself under a bus lol but after reading posts of support and encouragement I am going to behave....and go to bed! Gawd help me tomorrow......!

Thanks guys :-) I have felt TERRIBLE all afternoon, shaking and bad headache, rushed home to make my spag bol packet, it was the nicest thing I have ever eaten lol, tasted like heaven! Will see how I go for the rest of the day and have 4th shake if feel like I need it. Thanks for tips and guidance!

Thankyou......I have just made the veg soup, again, pleasantly surprised! I am just so determined to lose this weight, and what motivated (forced) me to do s and s is that I start a new job in six weeks, in a senior role, and want to go in to it feeling confident! All those new people and all...

Hi how is it going? Had first shake this morning, banana, was much better than expected! Am starving though, had read other peoples posts who said first day was no problem. Have had litre of water and two black coffees to help fill up but might have my veg soup at 12 as don't think I can wait...
