I doubt anyone will remember me but I was on the CD for 6 weeks last year, lost 2 stone and then had to stop due to finding out I was pregnant. Huge shock!! Anyway, he's here now and I am more than ready to get as much weight off before our wedding in June. Just wanted to say hi and see if...

How are you doing huni? xxx

LOL! I remember smelling my daughters toast for ages in week 2, god knows how I managed to put it back down in one piece! xxx

How you getting on today? xxx

Wow, that's absolutely fantastic - you look great!! Well done huni xxx

good luck for the interview huni xxx

Hi huni, Im on week 6 now and I can only just notice a tiny difference in myself if I'm honest. My mum and sisters say they can see it though so I'm hoping it just me lol! Really hoping to feel a bit of difference in myself in the next few months, good luck with everything xxx

I had to do the same huni, got my OH to put them up the loft in the end lol! Good luck with your weigh in OP! xx

Wow, thats great huni, 3lb already!! I was awful and binged right up to the morning my CDC was coming - no doubt made my first week 100% harder, lol! As for the first meeting, before mine the CDC asked me what type of shakes Id like her to bring (I asked for a mixture but ended up swapping...

Hi huni, welcome and congrats on your first week! 5lb is fab, and everyone loses differently so don't compare your losses to others :) if you google weight loss tickers you will find loads of sites to make them, I use lilypie or somethign like that. If you need anymore help with that just let me...

Seriously, for me to even consider it he would have to promise me a tummy tuck or something LOL!!

you too huni :) xx

Same here! lol! Thanks huni, dreading this weeks WI actually as she said normally the 3rd or 4th weeks loss is less. And to get to my goal weight on time I ineed to lose 2.8lb a week on average :( stress!! Good luck this week huni xxx

18.5lb huni, lost most of that the first week. Then 3lb the second week, and 4lb last week. Hoping for 3/4lb this week too *fingers crossed* good luck for your next weigh in! When is your WI day? xxx

Hi huni, welcome! Im also on week 4 and have 5 stone to lose too :) xxx

Wow, thats fantastic huni. Well done you! xx

urgh, what a waste of calories :p (like I need any excuse lol!) xx

Oh and you are NOT useless, don't think like that huni. You have to realise that you can do this even when it seems impossible. Do you have a goal in mind, maybe just a stone down by such and such a date? xxx

Have you spoken to your doc huni? I was a comfort eater too, big style, and I know how hard those habits are to get out of. Maybe it would be easier for you to book an appointment with a new CDC? Then the thought of a weekly weigh in by her might give you extra willpower? I'm sorry to hear about...

urgh, perfect excuse now!!

The best of luck to you both huni, I'm sure will be a great support to each other :) when I started I had over 6 stone to lose, now I have 5 in 5 and a bit months - eeek! xxx

Totally normal huni, by the 3rd night I thought I was going to cry, it was all I could think about! But it does go away and the whole thing gets much easier honest xxx

Good luck with it huni xxx

haha, im pretty sure its protein but you could always lie and tell him its carbs :p xxx

LOL!!!! I doubt it hun, lucky hubby ;) xxx

good on you huni xxx

I haven't huni but they do seem to be liked on here :) and you definitely will don't worry, I use this site loads, but especiallyin the first week when I honestly thought I wouldn't manage it. Now I'm 18lb down and I know theres no going back for me :) xxx

Good luck with it huni. Im now on my 4th week and its gone so fast!! From what I've heard hun the porridge isn't well liked but I hope you find it okay. I'm on 3 chocolate shakes a day (Me, fussy...? Never!) lol xxx

have these threads just been combined? lol xxx

I found my second week really hard (TOTM), it made me feel really weak and shaky and then I wanted to eat. Just horrible. Hope you're feeling better soon xxx

Thats fantastic, well done you!! xxx

I have a few times, especially in the first week when I had a variety to try and found I couldn't stand the soups or porridge and couldn't even force them down. Now I only buy the chocolate ones and I actually look forward to my 3 shakes a day lol xxx

^^^ lol!! I'm also in my early twenties huni, and after having 3 sections my stomach is a mess. My last section wound got infected in the hospital, and it later split open at home, and I had to go back to theatre. Because of that the scar is really indented into my stomach and the whole stomach...

^^ that is definitely something to think about. Argh, a dunno. Would love a flat tummy but I guess ill just have to wait and see what its like once Im down to my goal weight xxx

I know ill be left with a awful tummy no matter what weight I am as it already does overhang a lot! I've had 3 sections, and unfortunately my last one went badly which made it ten times worse than it was previously. The whole area just makes me feel sick :cry:xxx

thanks huni xxx

Wow!! Thats amazing, well done you! Yeh its scary how much things soon add up, even when you're trying to be careful lol xxx

Thanks for the replies everyone, the doc said I was okay so possibly anxiety but I don't want medication (yet) haven't had another episode since so hoping I won't (finger crossed). If they don't go away though I will probably step up a plan and add a salad or something in at night xxx

Practically the same huni, ordered my dress (in a size 12, eeek) just have slim down to fit into it now lol! Managed to get a new matching bolero on ebay just incase I need it in the cold, plus will probably want to cover my arms anyway as they have loads of stretch marks. Chapel and hotel are...

Thanks for that huni, my OH is at home on holiday this week so he's getting the girls ready now so we can head up. Just hope I can see a doc who can reassure me its nothing to do with my heart etc. Speak soon xxx

Forgive me please if this sounds stupid hun (I really don't know anything about anxiety) but Im the happiest I've been in over a year, I'm not stressed or worried about anything really. Why would it start now? Its stopped now so not sure wether to go up to the docs or not, not sure if they can...

Infact, its getting worse and im short for breath (dunno if thats me worrying) I think ill head to the docs and see if someone can see me xxx

Its hard to explain but over the past few days I've been experiencing a kind of numb but fuzzy feeling patch, down the middle of my chest and towards the left. I've googled it but people were either suggesting anxiety (im pretty sure its not that) or heart attacks (and Im hoping its not that...

Its on the 24th, feels so close!! lol, how are you getting on with your plans? I've been told to expect to lose 1 stone a month huni, usually more the first month (fingers crossed!) so it is definitely possible! xxx

Definitely huni, its just a waste of money and you know you WANT it. No food is worth feeling so rubbish for. Im the exact same at nights but it has been a lot, lot easier the past week or so xxx

Im on the 3 shakes a day too huni and I would find it so, so hard to even enter a chip shop, let alone work there. Go you! xxx

Me too!! Im getting married in november too huni, and thats why Im on the CD aswell lol! Good luck huni, I hope we both reach our goals on time xxx

What you getting done huni if you don't mind me asking? I would LOVE a tummy tuck, my stomach after 3 sections is not pretty lol! xxx

Ditto about having nothing to wear huni, my wardrobe is absolutely pitiful, just full of stuff I can't fit in to :cry: The main reason for me being on the CD is my wedding in November though, I've ordered a size 12 dress and ideally I want to be a size 10 on the day (it has a corset back). I am...

hey! I didn't 'meet' you before but welcome back and well done on the 3stone!! :) xxx

I would definitely phone and complain, thats just not on at all. I wonder how many people shes fleecing a week?! xxx

OMG... she charges you what?! That's outrageous! I pay £42 a week for 21 shakes and that's it xxx

Same here, I really have to put them up the loft today I think. Far too stressful xxx

6lb is fab huni, well done!! xxx

yeh its definitely possible huni, Im slimming for my wedding too :) good luck with everything and if you want a diet buddy im here xxx

thanks huni :) just worried 3/4lb will feel like nothing compared to the first week but a loss is a loss eh xxx

Good luck huni, you can do it xxx

^^^ yep, just stay away from them huni and wait until you see your CDC xxx

I have my second one tomorrow too huni, really stressed about it as I don't think ive lost as much as I hoped for :( don't want my CDC to think I've cheated lol! Good luck with it tomorrow hun xxx

Aw huni, don't beat yourself up. Come one here to chat if you feel like cheating etc, you CAN do it xxx

Aww thanks hun :) My CDC said you normally notice it right at the top of your stomach first, where your liver is, and tbh I do notice a bit there huni but the worst bit weight wise for me is underneath that LOL so thats where I want to lose inches! xxx

Hi huni, Im glad you wrote this as I haven't noticed anything either. Ive now lost over a stone and my waist measurement doesn't seem much different. Fingers crossed we both notice it soon eh xxx

hey huni, Im just on my second week and like summergirl said theres a few newbies (well newer than me ;)) lol. Good luck with everything xxx

good for you huni xxx

I googled it for you hun but nothing came up, hopefully someone else will come along soon who knows the answer xxx

Hi huni, Im Steph and Im on my second week of SS. Im not sure about the 2 stone by July but you should lose around a stone a month on CD I think, usually more in the first month. If you have any other questions then ask away and good luck with everything xxx

Ah right hun, Ive only really had issues at times with missing using food as a comfort thing. Apart from that ive been quite happy overall which is a nice change, I think becuase I'm not having to deal with any guilt from eating rubbish iykwim? Good luck for it huni, my 2nd weigh in is on...

how are you doing now huni? xxx

On day 5 I felt really low huni, even though pee sticks showed I was in ketosis the day before. I couldn't stop thinking about food and it was driving me crazy. Im on my second week now and it does get easier, I hardly ever think about food now if Im honest. There are a few things I like the...

^^^ yeh as Tink said hun, you didn't cheat 'badly' so I'm sure you will be fine. Don't beat yourself up xxx

Tbh im not sure huni, but personally I just avoid all food then I know I'm okay. Day 3 is hard but just stick with it, im only on my second week and I feel absolutely great (if a little bit cold at times) I sometimes even have to remind myself to make the shakes as I just don't feel hungry lol...

Definitely come back and update us huni, good luck xxx

ohhh yeh, I can't wait until someone asks me if I've lost weight. Avoiding the MIL for a while so Im hoping she notices lol xxx

Well doen huni, thats fab!! Well today I bought my wedding dress, in a size 12 eeeeeek! Definitely have no urge to cheat now lol xxx

Same here, I was just sooooo blooming miserable. My mood is much better now and I feel a lot happier in myself. Stick with it Lauren, stay away from food as much as you can and have early nights. It does pass xxx

yeh I just read down that link and it sounds awful, v glad I didn't have a drink before now! xxx

thanks very much for replying hun, not actually been that bothered about it but I thought I'd just check :) xxx

Hi, my CDC never mentioned alcohol during the visits. I haven't had a drink but was just wondering if anyone could tell me why we can't have alcohol (I drink vodka), does it mess around with ketosis? :confused: xxx

How awful huni, thinking of you and your family xxx

I pay £2 a shake lol! Never had or been offered a bar xx

Mine came on my first weigh in night huni :cry:Im really hoping that will mean I get a nice loss this week though, fingers crossed! How do you get on with the rod (is that the one in your arm?) I had that before and I was like Jekyll and Hyde, lol! xx

aww huni, thats hardly anything - Im sure it wouldn't have altered your weight, and especially not that quickly. I've been resisting a trip to the shops for 2 days now because I know ill buy rubbish, just trying to focus on how bad ill feel if I do. Remember we're here if you need to chat xxx

Oh I bet you can then, wait until you have had your first weigh in and see how much is take off the total :) xx

oh thanks huni, thats really generous of you but Im a right fussy bugger and I only like the choc and choc mint ones lol. Let us know how SW goes xxx

Did you just start this week or have you been doing it a while hun? If you have just started then you probably could do that the first 5 weeks as the first weeks loss with be quite a chunk of it xx

Hi huni, I think it depends what weight you are starting from if im honest. If you dont have much to lose to get to your ideal weight then it comes off slower doesn't it? That would be just a smidgen over 4lb a week, what are you normally losing? xxx

good luck huni xxx

You will find plenty of support here huni, my fiance was exactly the same until I sat down and told him exactly how unhappy I was and that I personally feel that if im going to deprive (not the right word but brain isn't working lol!) myself I might as well do it fully and get quicker results...

Hi hun, how are you getting on? I swapped all my porridge and soups for shakes. And then during my first week changed all my shakes for chocolate and choc mint ones LOL! They taste fine to me but I couldn't even take more than a sip of most of the others. I'm sure you will find some you like :) xx

I was coming on today to ask about periods, im on my 8th day too and period started last night (around its usual time) but today I feel really ill, sore and weak. Not hungry just really exhausted. Has anyone else felt worse than normal at TOTM when on the CD? xxx

ahh thats fantastic, well done you! xx

If you're feeling okay then personally I would just have some water between now and bed hun xxx

Oh I dont think my CDC has them, if she has she hasn't said lol! xxx

Im on chocolate and choc mint, pretty surprising considering I normally dislike chocolate! haha xxx

If theres one you aren't keen on you can ask your CDC to come round and swap them for the ones you like hun, not sure if you already know that but I just thought I'd say incase xxx

Ditto! I know fine well thats the only reason I've stuck to this so far! I know I can't have any food so theres no bad choices to be made xxx

honestly youre stronger than me, I've banned all takeaways from the house LOL! xxx

Good luck for it huni and thanks :) xxx

Wow, you're made of strong stuff!! xxx

yeh first weigh in huni xxx

thanks huni xxx

I lost 11.5lb this week huni :D xx

Do you know, in the first 3/4 days everyone on here told me the first loss would make me feel much better, and that soon I wouldn't even feel hungry and I didn't believe any of them. I got weighed today and all day I've been on a high, I know that this time is the last time for me. I will do it...

Good for you hun, another tip I learnt from someone else is to add extra water to the shake or just have half of it and save half the powder for later. Just made myself an extra big one now the kids are in bed to see me through the soaps :) xxx

fantastic, well done huni xx

Same here hun, thats why I've never stuck at any diet before now - way too slow for me if im depriving myself anyway! xx

Good idea huni!! xx

I very nearly bit into a piece of my daughters toast today, looked and smelled amazing. Still don't know how I managed to put it down untouched LOL! xx

^^^ that doesn't mean I don't give my OH some funny looks if he eats bread/rolls/chips etc in front of me grrrr! And take-aways are absolutely banned, I'm only human! lol xxx

I have HUGE issues with food huni, have done for years. And now im in ketosis I might not be hungry but I do still want food at times, especially when making food for the kids. I just try to switch my attention to something else when my mind starts wondering. The end result is worth FAR more...

btw, what book is this? I don't think I have a book lol! xx

thats a really good way of looking at it huni! The only thing I notice is the tops of my arms look less bulky :) xx

yeh I think it is hun xx

thanks huni :) xx

Getting really bad upper leg cramps this afternoon, are they related to the CD? I was out walking most of the day yesterday but nothing to strenuous so I don't think that could be to blame, xxx

That's exactly what I'm like hun, I used to eat for hunger, fun and comfort - it was literally never ending! But then feel bad and disgusted with myself when I did! Its a nasty cycle hun which is why I love the fact that I don't need food at all anymore. Im hoping that the more I lose the more I...

Great post hun xx

I like the idea hun but personally I wouldn't, just because I think id miss it more the days after. Its easier for me to say to myself no food, and thats it iykwim? But then, thats me - we all work differently so if a treat day is what keeps you going the other 6 then go for it hun! xxx

thanks a lot you 3, really happy :D (just hope I start noticing it soon lol!) xxx

Try and have your last shake as late as possible huni, oh and definitely early nights. You can definitely do it xxx

Thats how I felt too when I started lol, accidently spilt a glass of water on my laptop on my 3rd day and had to wait for it to dry it overnight. I was almost going insane with no one to talk to who understands lol! I bet you can lose loads in 7 weeks, I wear 16 but probably more like a 18 atm...

Hi hun, how you feeling? I started a week ago today so if you need to chat im here :) stick with it, the first weigh in is definitely worth it and by that time you won't even feel hungry anymore!! xx

my scales said 13lb this morning (boo!) but im more than happy with that! xxx

woohoo 11 1/2 lb off! :D xxx

LOL, I think I should do the same. Been checking day and night and its beginning to drive me crazy, especially as I don't know if her scales are the same as mine haha! xx

Good luck hun! xx

Ohh well done huni, my CDC is coming at 11.30 (I think) so going to quickly clean the house now and ill be back when I get my results. I hope they are good too! xx

Good luck with everything huni, I too had a few last "treats", not sure if it helped in the end or just mae me want them more in the first few days lol but as missyE said, what's done is done eh :) We're here anytime you need to chat xx

Hey, hows things with you sacha? I have weigh in tomorrow and although my scales say ive lost quite a bit, worried now that the CDC's say less :sigh: off on a day out with my parents and grandparents looking for places to eat after the wedding. They will be going for lunch which is going to be a...

oh meant to ask, what day are you on huni? xx

You can get them from your local chemist hun but ask your CDC as mine gave me 2 on my first visit. I checked on day 3 and day 5 and mine went dark pink so I was in ketosis but still felt grumpy and thought about food a lot until today (day 6) xxx

really, oh no!!! Been leaving my last shake to as late as possible at night so im not so grumpy watching the tv lol! Was hoping it would happen all the time xxx

haha, snap! I remember the awful first few nights I had too, never dreamed a shake could fill me up so much LOL! xxx

Its still 2 days hun, you should feel proud of yourself!! The first 3/4 really dragged for me but I feel excited now knowing im losing the weight so it doesn't feel like a chore anymore iykwim? xx

just stick with it hun, honestly I didn't believe people who said it would get better but I started on tueday at lunchtime and have been feeling great all day. Even managed to sit in the middle of maccy d's while my girls had lunch today! Really pleased with how its all going now :D xxx

It is very scary when you look at it like that, I'm a carb o holic so would comfort eat on crisps, chips, toast etc. Should really add up what I would normally get through xx

ditto hun, had 3 sections so will have to save up and hopefully get one too in the future. You will have to let us know how it goes OP, good luck hun xx

Yeh I've got a really weird taste in my mouth night and day hun, and I am in ketosis atm. How you doing apart from that? xx

How you feeling today huni? xx

Im the exact same huni, thought I would miss my pepsi max and vodka but I was so preoccupied with missing food the first few days I didn't think about it, and now I couldn't care less. Going to save me a fortune lol! Really didn't expect it to be so easy now (on day 5/6 - started tuesday...

What did you lose the first week hun if you don't mind me asking? xx

3 huni, I was given 4 but can't face more than 3 a day xx

This evening has been really awful for me too hun, contemplated cheating several times but I haven't :) (fingers crossed) Hoping tomorrow is a better day xxx

I'm sure it won't hun, I just couldn't as I know fine well I wouldn't stop at 2 haha xxx

haha, yeh the making food for other people is torture eh! I have 3 girls and my OH so preparing 4 meals (2 teas lol!) they smell so good! xxx

Good idea hun, I got really grumpy before but luckily still had my tea time shake to have so just took that with a pint of water. Full to the brim now lol xxx

Right there with you hun, my girls left a load of chips on their plates too and it was torture throwing them away. But I managed and so will you, think positive xxx

LOL, I cant even remember what mine measured now! I think it 43 or something like that, really want to eat tonight and I just feel miserable. Always seem to cope during the day whereas night times are so hard! xx

huni I'm exactly the same with food, stick with it hun xxx

oh and thanks a lot hun, told a few freinds about the 10lb and they just replied saying how dangerous it was :sigh: xx

all 3 of my babies were born in kdy :D xxx

Good luck ttc to you too huni xxx

Hi hun, I started on tuesday at lunchtime - its been hard but ive dropped 10lb already and that has given me the boost to continue. BMI was very similar to yours too. I've never stuck to any diet for even a day before so honestly if I can do it so can you! Good luck for the weightloss and ttc...

ahh, just seen your next post. Thats fab hun, I've told my fiance that he's not allowed takeaways lol - eating normal food in front of me is bad enough without that! xx

Wow hun, I really admire you for working in a chip shop and resisting. Im on day 4 now and I just know I'd find that so hard! xx

ohh snap! They are the only two I like too LOL! xx

Hiya At a similar stage to a few of you here :) started tuesday lunchtime and woke today feeling a bit sick. Still get hungry every so often but I did a ketostix yesterday and it turned dark pink *meh* can't wait to just get over the weekend and get weighed on tuesday. Then I can say I survived...

I would assume so hun, check the ingredients if you have both to compare. Are you a veggie too? xx

Aww thats fantastic hun, is it miserable through at you today? We've had constant rain for 2 bloomin days! xxx

Hi hun, all ive managed so far is the chocolate and choc mint shakes, and I normally really dislike chocolate lol! Gave the CDC all the soups and porridges back :rolleyes: xx

Im not sure, planning to stay on SS for as long as possible as im worried if I do eat atm I will just end up picking the wrong stuff. And I haven't got enough time before my wedding for that lol! How did your omelette go? Its funny, since starting this I've been drooling at stuff in the kitchen...

Wow, its crazy to think that 8 weeks can make such a difference! You look fantastic! xx

WOW! Thats amazing, your pics have really inspired me. Well done you!! xx

obviously though, I have more to lose than you so I'm assuming I will lose more in the first week? Isn't that how it normally works? xx

mine still comes up too hun, if you don't mind me asking what have you lost so far? I started tuesday lunchtime and when I checked this morning I appear to have lost 10lb already, v pleased xxx

Hi! xx

I think it does, as long as you don't uncheck 'show your signature' xx

Hey hun, I read online to take measurements because on weeks where you only lose a small amount you can still lose quite a few inches, something about retaining water or something? Don't give up huni xxx

Wow, well done on your first loss!!! I think you can expect to lose 1 stone a month but some lose more, and usually a more like 1 1/2 stone in the first month from what I've read online. Someone who's been on it longer than me can probably answer you better though hun xx

thanks hun, I love it but I bet ill go for something totally different when I go to try them on lol! xxx

Haha, my mouth started feeling weird which is why I decided to test hun, my CDC told me to wait until day 4 though, oops! She gave me two sticks but I've read online that you can buy them from chemists hun. I only tried one soup (tomato) and it was so awful it put me off them all. Sticking to...

Im on SS, so just 3 shakes a day atm. Because I'm a veggie I eat loads of carbs so I didn't think it was a good idea to have any food at all until I've lost quite a bit, only on day 3 and I've lasted longer on this than any other diet ever so fingers crossed it continues! What sort of stuff are...

does this show?

Hiya, thanks for the message and well done!!! I checked my scales too and seem to have lost more that I think I should (not that I'm complaining lol!) so just did a ketosis stick and it turned dark pink! I only started on tuesday at lunchtime, feel good atm so hoping tonight is much better than...

Oh I'm not sure hun, if you google tickers you can make your own and then just copy the link into your sig I think? 2 secs ill look xx

btw, I only started tuesday lunchtime (and I had carbs for breakfast) and I just had a dark pink ketosis test stick, was expecting to wait at least 2 more days but my mouth has been feeling funny so I thought I'd check - so bloomin happy now!

When I got over 20 posts the red message at the top changed hun and said I could upload an avator/avatar (sp?) the weight tracker, do you mean at the side <<< or underneath your posts? you know whats keeping me more motivated atm, knowing how much certain people will hate it when I lose weight...

Its not my wedding dress as I haven't been out dress shopping yet, I just think its beautiful xxx

haha, it will be so good to go shopping and not feel rubbish :) been looking at this wedding dress to keep me going when I feel hungry, definitely not something I want to wear with bingo wings LOL! MAGGIE SOTTERO DIAMOND WHITE ADELAIDE WEDDING DRESS SIZE 12 14 | eBay

thanks a lot hun, jumped on my own scales this morning (I know, I shouldn't lol!) but seem to have dropped quite a few pounds already unless they're faulty. I just hope the CDC scales show the same! Will feel really good when I can get in my pre-pregnancy clothes again, even though i'll still...

I LOVE your siggy!! So true lol! xxx

thanks you two, feeling much better this morning - evenings are definitely 100% worse for me! Hope ketosis starts soon :) xx

LOL about the wine hun, I was thinking the same about my lack of alcohol haha xxx

My partner is the exact same huni, always telling me I'm perfect and I don't need to lose weight. I've tried other diets before without telling him and always given up so I sat down and told him how I really feel, and that I just wont be happy unless I lose weight for the wedding. Since then...

I hope it doesn't put you back hun, really hoping I go into Ketosis soon. Did it take you 5 days to feel a bit better? Did you cut down on carbs before you started hun? I didn't as thats mainly what I eat so im not sure if its going to take longer for me? xxx

Sole Source here too, don't think I could deal with food atm lol! Getting weighed on tuesday morning, really hoping I lose a good amount to cheer me up lol xx

that's great, well done you!! xx

thanks huni, had to completely avoid my favourite aisles lol. Smelling the bread was torture haha xx

Hiya On day 2 and I can't stop thinking about food, beginning to think I'm actually addicted :( Haven't cheated and I don't want to, just feeling totally miserable. Got to stay up to watch The Apprentice with my partner now and then I'm heading to bed, just hope I notice the weight loss asap...

Made it out of asda without buying anything for myself, yay!

Just made the kids tea and feeling pretty rubbish, could really do with something to chew but I know if I start I wont be able to stop :cry:tried a toffee and walnut shake just a second ago and it was so awful I just put it down the sink. Got to go to asda now to get stuff in for tea tomorrow...

thanks hun, my friends and family are the exact same and I was thinking it was for the same reason (being the fat one) I was on quite a lot of carbs as thats mainly what I eat so god knows when it will start for me, hopefully not too long! I got 2 sticks from my CDC and she said to test on day...

btw, does anyone know how soon ketosis (is that right?) starts? xxx

haha, I saw that dog quote too, made me laugh! I have family in glenrothes, small world!! xx

haha, thanks - didn't realise there was a naughty step lol! Going to try my hardest not to but I realise its early days, I have the best intentions anyway lol. Its crazy, 3/4lb a week doesn't sound like much but it soon adds up, sounds much better in stones for some reason lol! xxx

14 weeks seems so long away lol, do you notice quite a difference huni? I only have just over 28 weeks until my wedding so hoping I can do it until then and lose a lot. Its actually not as hard as I thought it would be so fingers crossed xxx

My BMI was literally just under 40, my CDC said if it was over 40 she would have had to get my docs permission or something? Bloody awful, how on earth did I let it get so bad! :( So glad you're all here to talk to, my friends don't agree with the diet so aren't v supportive xxx

WOW!! I just hope I can lose it like you, makes me excited reading that ^^ lol! xxx

Yeh, thats true hun - my prob is I enjoy food, but its always the rubbish food which is why I have to do something like this that just cuts it out completely. I feel the same, luckily I dont eat meat so my OH can have as much of that as he likes but if he comes home with chips or a pizza I may...

LOL! Do you think you really do just stop feeling hungry after a while? xx

thanks hun, I live near(ish) Sacha, was just wondering it we had the same CC(is that the right name for them?) as she travels :) Had a dream (nightmare?) that I cheated on the diet last night and I felt awful lol, never stuck at anything before so really hoping this works xxx

I have just started but so far I've found the mint choc one to be by far the best, and I normally really dislike chocolate and favour savoury lol! My CC is coming to swap all my soups and porridges for the mint choc shakes tomorrow as I've run out already lol! I use a hand blender too Not...
