    Coke Zero

    I'm a diet coke junkie and sometimes find it hard to drink water all the time although i do like water. Just remember this is a really hard diet (i'm on day 2 returning after numerous starts last couple of years) and you'll have to be really strong of mind not to let any of your 'old life' pull...

    2 stone 3 lost in 6 weeks

    I have yo-yo'd all my adult life and if i could wish for anything in another life it would be to maintain a (reasonable request) size 12. I've missed too many occasions, holidays and such cos I wouldn't go due to weight. I did this diet so i wouldn't be 'fat at 40'. I was very focussed and lost...

    Many diets = too much choice!

    Well done on your losses so far, what a great start. I'm a fifer too and I'm sure that lots of the local colleges do cooking classes in the evenings. Would you be able to get to a class? They will be good fun and very informative.

    Back to good ole healthy eating

    Look it up on eBay and it will show you what it is but basically, its portion control. I've just found this forum and i'm reading with interest. I've just done 8 weeks or so on Cambridge and lost 27lbs. I'm really pleased with that but its heading to Christmas and funds don't allow me to...

    I believe it does have a positive effect but I don't know all the technical stuff. If nothing else, drinking a big glass of water before eating anything will make you feel full before you eat and should stop you from eating as much. Also, when you feel peckish, again try having a really good...

    Holiday dilemma...

    Sounds like you are both really focussed on the diet and it would be a shame to undo the good work you have done so far. I think the protein and green salad option is best especially if you can take some shakes with you to keep your head in the diet. If its hot it should be easy to drink plenty...

    Out of ketosis??

    I used to be quite obsessed with the sticks. I agree with some of the others that they don't make much odds as I always feel hungry. I don't lose weight if I've eaten too much of something I shouldn't, end of. Also, like many of us I've been a slave to the scales as well so they are now...
