Do you mean you are drinking 10 litres per day? If so that is very dangerous and will overstrained your kidneys. You should be drinking no more than 3.5 litres at the most.

Thank you ladies

Are you supposed to use your weeklies or activity points first if you fancy a treat?

I only lost half a pound this week, my consultant thinks I need to up my protein. I have the extra protein in my shakes, 2 protein snacks and chicken or steak for dinner. Not sure how I can eat any more protein!!!!

I think they are supposed to be drunk within 15 mins of making them or the nutrients break down in them.

Please help, I don't appear to be losing. I'm under my 1400 calories per day and walking for 45 mins (can't do any major exercise as I had an operation 3 weeks ago) and have stayed the same. Do I need to cut out all carbs?? My snacks tend to be fruit, do I need to swop them for meat for extra...

I think this heat is making me hold water, I've been really good but not dropped any weight since Thursday.

You should have about 1200 I think

I do, I prob have 2 cups of tea with semi skimmed milk and sweeteners. Are we not allowed then?? I also drink 3 litres of water.

Do you not get hungry with just the shakes and only salad??

Went MacDonalds and had an apple bag and bottle of water. Now cooking my steak.

I used the choc soy milk and half semi skimmed with a vanilla shake, it was quite nice!

Taking my son and his friend to MacDonalds, I plan to have a water and my steak etc when I get back. Hope I can stay strong!

Hi, thought I would make myself accountable and write a food diary and record my weight. Today: Breakfast - vanilla shake and PPP with semi skimmed milk and fibre and herb tablets Snack - Almonds Lunch - Vanilla shake with PPP and choc soy milk and fibre and herb tablets Snack - 2 slices...

Can I ask roughly how many calories you average a day and do you exclude carbs??

I lost 2.2lb on my three day trial. My consultant has recommended the additional protein powder. Anyone use this?

Hi, anyone else find they only sleep about 4/5 hours on Herbalife??? Is this normal?? I'm struggling to find info on the Internet.

When did you start and how are you finding it?

I'm due to start tomorrow and would like a buddy please.

Hi is anyone else doing this please?

I had chicken with potato wedges with cabbage, leek and courgette. Yum

If its purple then you are not drinking enough, you are aiming for a bright pink colour for ketosis.

That's grams. I can't seem to get them under 20 percent of my total daily food.

Should I worry that my daily carbs are coming in under 30 most day? I thought that 50 was the 'sweet spot for weight loss'. Do I need to up them??? And how??

I am exercising but confused as to the weights, think I might have to book a personal session somewhere as I'm doing it at home and not sure what I'm supposed to do. The weight is now shifting, have lost 2lb so far this week from Monday. I think my body had to adjust from just all liquids.

Today I have had: Breakfast: bacon and eggs Lunch: chicken and rocket salad with balsamic vinegar Snack: handful of almonds dinner: steak, cabbage, courgette and broccoli

Hi, I've lost over 6 stone on a VLCD and swopped to paleo now as a long term way of eating. I'm averaging 1600 calories and 46 carbs but not losing weight. Any ideas?

Do u count calories too or just ignore them?? I know some paleo people do

It's a good read, not sure about the fat levels

Hi, I've just swopped from Cambridge so was already in ketosis and lost 6.7 stone. I still have 1.5 stone to lose but wanted to reintroduce food and this seemed the most natural way but I'm getting fatter! I'm having NLY with berries for breakfast or a protein shake. Chicken and cabbage for...

Get the Pig to Twig book off eBay, it's a good read.

I'm kind of doing Atkins/pig to twig. Low carb with lots of protein and veg.

I've just switched from CWP and am on day 4 of Atkins. I'm too scared to get on the scales as I feel huge!!!

Lemon chicken, chilli wedges, broccoli, parsnips and courgette.

I started on the 30th too so I will post mine too

Hi can you tell me if I make spaghetti Bol does the mushrooms and onions count as the 1/3 super free or do I have to only have 2/3 of the spaghetti Bol and then veg too? Plus if I have a sandwich for lunch the fruit salad does the fruit salad count as the 1/3? Or does it only count if it's...

I've lost 6.6 stone on CWP but now really fed up! Having real trouble going to the loo and worried about getting too reliant on laxatives. Am considering swopping to WW to shift the last stone and a half. Am worried as to how much I might put on and if I will cope. Any advice?

Since losing over 6 stone I have ridden a bike for the first time in 20 years and start swimming lessons next week. What have you done since losing weight that being bigger stopped you doing?

Ive spent all afternoon in a bad MAPPA 3 meeting with everyone glaring at me as I get up every 10 mins for a wee!

Ok Lani, me too but I specialise in sex offenders.

Are u a probation officer Lani?

Ok apologies, it's just that there was someone on here a few months ago that was putting up fake posts about huge losses that upset alot of people. Well done on your amazing losses and apologies again.

I'm sorry but I'm not convinced that u lost 34lb in a week. It's unfair to write things like that as it gives false hope to people.

I don't post much but had to share, today for the first time in my life I'm wearing skinny jeans! And my legs do not look like sausages! Only 2 stone 9lb till target!

Hi, I'm starting again tomorrow, I have 3 stone to lose as have lost 4 stone already but then stopped for a few weeks. Would anyone like to buddy up for moral support? I'm 38, 5ft 3 and currently weigh 13 stone.

Looking hot there debkat! Are u stopping Cambridge and taking up SW then?

Come on girls where is everyone???

Where is everyone????

I lost 2.6lb this week, could have been better but does mean I hit the 4 stone mark. I admit I did have 3 months off due to finances but didn't put on at all when I stopped! I now have less than 3 stone to go and am feeling good! An going to go crazy and have an omlette!

Because I woke up and the sun is shining and I know I will be thin by summer!!!!!!!

Got weighed, a measly 1.7lb. All my own fault! Must get back on track! Sorry girls!

I just made 16 pancakes( had family round and I'm the only one that cooks a good pancake) and I had a shake! I'm feeling so glad I didn't give in!

I'm having a great day, went out for dinner last night, luckily it was a carvery and so I had 1 slice of turkey, cauliflower and broccoli. Had no dessert and so had a pot of tea as dessert. The girls I went with I haven't seen for 4 months and were shocked by my weight loss so I'm feeling...

U look great deb! Don't apologise for the jim jams I have exactly the same pair!!!!

Ok confession time, I have been terrible this week and been a pig! I'm therefore not being weighed this week and am restarting! Am so annoyed with myself but determined not to give up!

It's melting like the witch in the wizard of Oz!

I only lost 2.5 measly pounds! I think it's hormones as I've been good. Came off the pill last week so I can have a coil fitted(dreading it!) am not happy!

I'm thinking of doing that, when I'm a stone from goal I'm going to join SW then once I'm at goal I can get weighed weekly for free ( I think) I'm hoping this will keep me on the straight and narrow.

I weighed myself this morning and according to my scales I'm under 13.5. This means I'm heading towards the 12 stones which is quite scary as well as good. I'm starting to look like a normal person! Am worried now about sustaining it. I havent had to think about this before as my goal seemed...

I think it's the weather debkat, I've been hungry all day. Not stomach hunger but what I call head hunger!

How do u lose 9lb in5 days???? I'm jealous!

Go buy some sliced chicken from a supermarket and bag of mixed leaves! U will stay in ketosis.

Hope u are wearing clean knickers Debkat! Well done you! X

No u haven't! U will be back in ketosis in 2 days as ur not full of carbs! Unless u ate the whole kitchen! Look forward and not behind! U can't change yesterday but you can change tomorrow!

No Rebecca u are human! Now put in in perspective, shake it off and get back to the plan tomorrow! If you keep beating yourself up over it then it will be harder to get back in the zone!

How come then I'm on 3 packets plus milk?

Yes please debkat that would be great or I look a bit pathetic!

No weigh in for me today due to snow, am now weighing in Friday. I live in the middle of now where and so does my counsellor.

OMG I'm way behind! Must do better!!!! Then again I did lose 8lb the week before I went back to my counsellor by using up old packets from last time before they went out of date. So I'm reminding myself its not as rubbish as it looks!

I've just eaten a chocolate biscuit! Am so annoyed with myself! Someone hit me!

Wow well done princess!!!

Ok girls listen to this for a shocker! The scales have not budged this week since my weigh in. I then realised I had no been to the loo so took some dulcolax last night. I weighed myself tonight and then went to the loo. I did think for a moment that I was in labour! However after going to the...

Just been weighed, another 2.5lb of lard gone forever! Could have been a better loss but still in the right direction!

Lol sorry debkat, I'm easily confused!!!!

Lol sorry debkat, I'm easily confused!!!!

How did the weigh in go Debkat!

Morning ladies! I'm feeling happy! I bought a size 14 dress off eBay as something to aim to get into in feb and it came yesterday and it fits already!!!!! So happy! Great news about Disney debkat! Wish I was going!

Ok so I'm on week 3 and 11.5 lb of fat has gone! Just had a chicken soup and it was edible with lots of black pepper! I feel in getting somewhere now.

Hey Clarey...... Nice to meet you. Tell us all something about you! I'm on week 3 and lost 11.5 so far.

Don't go slimdownnow! It's not a members only club! Maybe u should do 810 as nursing is a strenuous job.

I can't believe that! It goes to show how different people are as I had turkey and veg and stayed in ketosis.

Ok I'm fed up. Just got weighed and only lost 3.5lb. And that was over a week. I wouldn't mind if it was justified but have eaten once this week and that was bloody turkey and veg!!!! So annoyed!

No I'm weighing tomorrow as my counsellor was sick.

Well I went for lunch and had turkey, cabbage and broccoli and one measly new potato! I managed to dash past the roasties and Yorkshire pudding! Am still in ketosis ( I checked) and so glad I didn't cave in!!!!

Well done Victoria!

Have women up and had a sneaky weigh in and feeling very happy as my scales are now showing a good loss. But!!!!!! Am going out for Sunday lunch! Luckily it's a carvery ( my choice) and so can have turkey and veg and push it round the plate. Will have to sit on my hands not to have a warm bread...

I just bid on things on eBay in a size 14. Wonder if that's a bit optimistic as I was probably 14 when I was last a size 14! I was thinking it might give me a goal! Or am I daft?

I'm still stuck and have been 100% except for one chip! Am a bit bunged up tho in the toilet department so have taken senokot.

How did u make it? There seems alot of ways, what's best and what flavour?

Hope u feel better soon Deb. I'm feeling strangely good today and strong about keeping going. Am going for dinner tonight and am determined not to eat. I might have a diet coke as a treat!

I think my scales have been superglued as they are not moving! Luckily my counsellor has changed my WI till Monday as she is sick!

I just made a choccy tetra into a hot chocolate! It's actually nice!

OMG Lorraine that's amazing! Well done you!!!!!

Ohhhhh well done us!

Well done debkat! I'm struggling today, have had my son off school sick so had to take a day off work! I've just cracked and had an omelette. Not as bad as what I wanted to have.

An feeling great! Made the bf dinner last night and he had wine and I had none. Then I made him a fry up and had none. Also last night I actually walked round in my underwear in front of him! Trust me ladies this was a huge thing for me! He was a happy man!

U can buy them on eBay for about £3.50.

Wow u look lovely Danielle!

Hi ladies! Not a bad day for me, went to a meeting and managed to resist a free cream Victoria sponge! Have the boyfriend coming for dinner but am cooking him things I don't like!!!! Just hope he doesn't want wine as that is my downful!

Woke up today feeling quite slim! Really noticing a difference in my stomach but alas not my ass!!!

I must say you are a great leader Debkat! I would vote for you in an election! Maybe u could start the Skinny Beatch political Party!

Thanks LadyB I am smiling indeed but am thirsty which considering I've had 4 litres today is strange! I think I am a camel!

Stick with it Danielle! U gotta ride the storm to enjoy the calm!

Stick with it! Just stay 100% for 2 more days and u will stop feeling hungry.

Thanks guys! Now I've just got to get thru the weekend which is never a good time for me!

Hooray I weigh 14.02! Happy days! That's 8lb off!

I had my weigh in with my counsellor and weighed 14.02 which is the same as my scales at home. Am pleased as that is 8lb in 4 days!!!!

I would try a few different flavours as everyone's taste is different. I always have a few spare packs for emergencies too. Tetras are great if you are out for the day. Good luck!

Good luck whale! It doesn't matter how you get there just that you achieve your goal!

Your stomach will tell you anyway flower! I just like seeing the pink!

I ordered my ketostix off eBay and they were about 5 quid with postage and arrived today. I'm a lovely pink colour! I never thought weeing on a stick would bring me so much joy! Have a good day debkat!

Morning! I am a very happy bunny. Despite my chicken blip last night I weighed myself this morning and weighed 14.02! This is compared to 14.8 on Monday! My period finished yesterday and it must have masked my weight loss and yesterday I had only lost 4lb! Am seeing my counsellor today as I...

Am just glad day 3 is over with only a small chicken related blip!

I love Terry chocolate orange more than Dawn French used to! I do remember once eating a choc out his advent calendar and telling him the elves ate it when they come to check if he was in bed! Thank god he's 11 now and wouldn't accept that now!

Welcome ladies! I'm feeling happier now and less guilty as my son sat on the sofa about half an hour ago eating Terry's chocolate orange and I didn't wrestle him to the floor. I went and had a bath!

Thanks debkat, I'm just glad it wasn't a jacket potato! I guess it was only one new potato ( and small) but still one too many! Luckily halfway thru the chicken the guilt kicked in and I gave it to the dog! I think the dog loves the diet more than me! He gets extra walks and chicken!

And I'm being weighed tomorrow! Why do I do it???? Someone kick me!!! Didn't have my last shake so am hoping I've redeemed myself!

Confession time! I ate a piece of chicken and one new potato!!!

There appears to be a very loud band playing songs and dancing in my gut! I think I'm having an earthquake!

Fed up with water! I feel like a fat camel!

Hi Tina , I'm in Colchester! Good luck!

I know I shouldn't weigh myself. I might lock my scales in the shed but have visions of my self running naked in the night to weigh myself!

Is it a bad thing to have a sneaky peak on the scales???? I have looked this morning ( day 3) and have only lost 4lb. Wish I hadn't looked!

Day 3 and had a sneaky peak at the scales and quite annoyed as only lost about 4 lb and I have been 100%!

Thank god for woolly bed socks!

I'm sorry work is pants but focus on how great your weight loss was!!! That must put a smile on your face!

Why a bad day Danielle when u have been such a star???

No my weigh in will be Thursdays. I started yesterday using up packs I had from last year.

Ok I don't see it on my phone, I don't use the site, only my iPhone.

Wow well done Danielle you must be over the moon!

How do u know how many posts u have made???

Ohhhh sorry, didn't read the previous posts. Ok here goes my intro...... I'm jenni, 38, single mum who lives in Essex. I'm a probation officer and deal with sex offenders and also assess other probation officers so quite a stressful job at times. In all honesty I have battled with my weight...

Are we just posting weight results on here or is it also general chat???? I don't want to break the rules!

Ok I have almost got through Day 2! Had 3 shakes, all choc mint, 3.5 litres of water and one coffee. Am feeling quite smug!

It's 1.38 and watching everyone at work eat lunch. Am not hungry but could wrestle the woman who sits opposite it me to the floor for her crisps! An reminding myself its just habit not hunger!

Good luck lovelylozzo! Join the skinny beatch thread! We are all newbies!

Day 2 for me and all is well in the Big Fat House!!!! Am not actually hungry which is a miracle!

Welcome Natasha!!!!! What day u on?

It's day 2 for me and I'm in ketosis and feeling good!

Some of us started today or yesterday, come join the skinny beatch thread! All of us are new! Good luck!

Ok it's 10.21 and had 1.5 litres and not hungry!

I've always just used the tesco's own brand like senokot as they are cheaper and still do the trick. Constipation is nasty and makes u feel yucky!

Day 2 and according to my ketostix I'm in ketosis. To be honest I did reduce the carbs before starting but always manage to get to ketosis quick. My counsellor things I must have a fast metabolism, my ass disagrees!

I started today but my weigh ins will be Thursdays. Hoping to lose 4 and a half stone.

Count me in!!!

I agree that the porridge is just wrong!

Alot of people say their tastes change as they go thru the diet do apparently you should keep trying things every few weeks.

Ohhhhh enjoy the last supper! Just think of it as the start of a new you!

Just had a terrible thought of my water bill going up! All the water I'm drinking, the baths to keep my head out the fridge and all the extra loo flushing!!!

Ok day one nearly over and I'm coping! Only had one coffee and it was lovely. 3litres of water drunk and still got a headache but upwards and onwards!

Am cooking shepherds pie for my son! I think I might have to walk the dog whilst he is stuffing his face. Poor dog is gonna hate me if I keep dragging him out. He hates exercise as much as I do!

Stick with it reluctant one! Just promise yourself that you will do week. Just one week out of your life, then see the scales. If you quit now you will regret it and kick yourself. Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels!

I just find the shakers make them a bit lumpy then it makes me gag and puts me off. I might try again.

The tetras are very handy to stick in your bag and taste good in my opinion.

Yeah mine charges an extra 30p per one, doesn't sound alot but adds up!

It's such a good feeling when it's pink!

At 8am. I have to have one before work as can't afford to buy 2 tetras per day. So have a shake at 8 then a tetra for lunch and a shake for dinner. The good news is that I've had 2.5 litres of water so far. My stomach looks like jelly! ( well actually it tends to anyway!)

Am trying to decide when u to have my second shake. Want to space them out a bit but I'm hungry!

Yes but you want it medium pink not dark. If its too dark you have not had enough water which is not good!

Yeah I feel okay, bit of a headache but that's normal. Trying to sink the water, almost done 2 litres.

Yes but only first thing in the morning as if not they can be inaccurate apparently.

I find if you have a good loss in the first week it spurs you on and keeps you motivated.

Good Luck! I started today.

I love getting to ketosis as it makes the rumblings and headaches go away. How much do u have to lose?

Hi flower, I love the choc mint and tend to have those as my 3 a day. I have tried the porridge but hated it and all the bars taste like lumps of metal to me so I'm limited! Good news is that I have a headache, which hopefully means I'm getting there! I tend to get to ketosis by day 2 so I'm...

Ok so I started this morning with a mint choc shake and 2 paracetamol due to period pains! Probably not the best time to start!

Ok am starting tomorrow again! I did SS on CD last year and lost 2.5 stone then stopped due to money. Am now starting tomorrow by using spare packs in the cupboard. The good news is that have only put on 3lb from when I stopped. Bad news is that I have 4.5 stone to lose! Am planning on posting...
