Thanks for being so nice to me guys, when I know I'm whinging about nothing. My weigh in this morning was exactly the same as last week. This is the first week that I've lost nothing at all; although in week 3 I did only lose 2lbs. I've lost inches though and I feel like I am taking up less...

Thanks roxi, I know it's a bit "my diamond shoes are too tight" to be whinging about only losing 2 stone in five weeks.

Hi guys, sorry I've not been around. I've been a bit fed up with talking about the diet. I've been strictly on plan though. Glad making the shakes up early has been working for people. I know you're not meant to leave them too long before having them, but it's never done me any harm. I tend...

I make my shake at home, using a hand blender, and then pop it in a small round clip top flask/tupperware type thing and stick it in my handbag. Then I can have it when ever I want and no lumps. It works well for me. Good news on the bike tiggy. Remember if you want to ride it for commuting...

Sorry I've not been around recently, work has been terribly hectic. There have been some awesome loses recorded here, well done everyone. I'm still hanging on though, still 100%. I'm in my fourth week though, so I've added in some veg on a couple of nights - either a 100g of broccoli or 100g...

Evening lovelies. I'm freezing cold tonight, so I've had a super long bath and I'm curled up with a hotwater bottle. I've done the online shop for the other half and I think I might head off to bed soon. Good luck with the weigh in tomorrow Charlie Brown and well done to everyone else. I...

Honk and for the last 19 days. Just noticed this thread :D

Well done on your run Tiggy and enjoy the gym later Katie. I spent most of the morning on the kitchen roof patching the render on the back of the house. So I'm going to spend the afternoon curled on the sofa with a book and a bottle of water. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Week two is always slower Anna. It'll pick up again next week. Just stay focused drink lots of water and try and go for a 20min walk each day. If it makes you feel better, I weighed this morning and I've put on 0.8lbs since my second weigh in. I know it's just water, but I'm not expecting to...

Happy Friday Tiggy. I can't believe you're baking! I think that would be the end of me. I got so many wonderful cookbooks for Christmas and I am dying to try them out, but I don't think I can face it without trying a little bit. So I am putting my backing habit on hold until I can at least...

Thanks everyone. I'm really pleased. And sat in my size 14 jeans. :D I do expect it to slow down next week. I don't know if it's maybe because I put the extra weight on very quickly at the end of last year when I was having a horrible time at work and comfort main lining carbs. But then I...

Two weeks in today and 1.5 stone down. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

So my second week WI this morning and I've lost 9lbs. So that's 21lbs in 2 weeks. I imagine next week I won't lose anything. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Try adding more water to the shake. One bar a day really isn't enough. You need to have all 3. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

It depends how much you have to lose. In the first week you'll lose mainly water weight which you will put back on when you come out of ketosis. Just a week seems like a waste of time tbh. I would aim for a month instead. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Nope. Stuck with the 3 packs. I've coped absolutely fine with that, the OH said last time I cycled I went grey and stopped talking. This time I feel like I have exercised but I'm still walking and talking so I think it was just too soon last time. I'll up it to twice next week and see how...

Good effort on the running Tiggy. Yes I cycled today. I am feeling lots better than I did last time thanks. It was hammering down with rain on the way home, so I had a nice long hot bath when I got home and now I'm on the sofa wrapped in the OHs dressing gown. I think I might paint my nails in...

Excellent work PS. Congratulations. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Well done Tiggy! I'm not yet sure if I'll make it out of the house without weighing this morning. I'm going to cycle to work today. Given how badly this hit me last time I'm tempted to have an extra pack. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Well done! Good work on staying strong last night. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Thanks guys. Hope everyone had a good day and is feeling okay this evening. Welcome on board Roxi. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

In other news, I weighed again this morning (yes I know I said I was going to wait until my official WI day) and I have 1.5lbs to go to the next stone bracket. Reckon I can make that by Thursday?

Good luck at the interview Charlie Brown

I usually add more water, about 220mls and leave it to soak for 8 mind before microwaving it. Hope you like it. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

My list is broccoli, steak, udon noodles with a thai dressing. I'm going to have the broccoli on my fourth week and probably some steak on valentines day. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

My order of bars turned up today. The bliss of being able to chew something again is unbelievable. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

That's great news Karla. Keep up the good work. Here's to another 100% ts week. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Hi Katie and Anna. Great first week losses there, congratulations and nice to have you on board. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

That's excellent Tiggy. Hope you're feeling really motivated today. I had a sneaky post weekend weigh in and I've lost another 3lbs, which brings it to 6lbs so far this week and 18lbs in total. Even if the scales dont move again before my official WI on Thursday I'll be quite happy with...

So January buddies, the OH and I have just got started on this 30 day challenge. Anyone else care to join in? http://30dayfitnesschallenges.com/30-day-plank-challenge/ Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I do what I did when I was quitting smoking. I tell myself that I'll have it in a bit. I'll just put it off for ten minutes and another ten and another. I try and remember that I am doing this because I need to get my BMI down to a healthy range before I can consider having a baby in the...

Well done on saying no. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Excellent loss GTSI. You must be really pleased with that. I find weekends hard too. Usually they mean dinner with the OH and a few drinks and I'm struggling with socialising without food AND alcohol. But lady night I went out for drinks for a friend's birthday and drank mineral water, then...

Oh. I just had some of the skinny pasta. After one bite I was retching. The texture was hideous. Obviously there was nothing in my stomach to actually throw up. Does anyone actually like this stuff? I've decided to stick to the shakes and meals I like and stop sodding experimenting. The...

Yeah. I'm waiting for an order of bars. The idea of chewing something again is what is keeping me hoping at the minute. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

How about a pedicure? My treat this week was a new hand cream as my hands are cracked and dry at the minute. I think lots of this diet is about learning to take better care of yourself and pay off that is learning to treat yourself without it being food related. Sent from my GT-N7100 using...

That's a great loss MM. Good work. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I'm feeling much better today, thanks for being so nice to me yesterday everyone. I weighed again this morning, although I know that I shouldn't, I just needed some motivation and I certainly got that. I'm another 3 lbs down. This means I'm over a quarter of my way to goal. 1stone1lbs...

Excellent weigh in Cherryhead congratulations, that's an excellent loss. I've managed to stop myself cheating and stick to plan. Still 100% ts. But now I'm super grumpy and stubborn. I might just take myself off to bed in a bit. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

I am really struggling today for some reason, my brain tells me that I am STARVING. In the car on the way home from work, all I could think about was cheese :o Logically I know I am not hungry, I know that I don't need to eat anything. I should be really happy and motivated after this mornings...

Thanks guys. I'm really pleased. I have to try and remind myself that this is the first step on a long journey and not get too complacent. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

These things happen. Start again tomorrow and tell your family you're not eating next time. Planning ahead adverts accidents. I don't tell people what I'm doing exactly. I usually just say that I can't eat with them because I'm on a miserable strict diet and I need them to be supportive...

Thanks lovely. I actually swapped most of mine with a nice girl on a fb group. I might try biscuits with what is left. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

It's birthday cakes in my office today. Staying strong and out of the kitchen. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Great first weigh in Sylar. Mine's tomorrow, so I am hoping that I have done nearly as well as you. I cycled to work yesterday and it completely wiped me out. My usual cycle commute takes 500cals. So on a day of 600cal I was asleep on the sofa freezing cold at 8pm. I think I will wait...

Good luck with the diet CL, I'm sure with that sort of motivation you'll be 100% all the way. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Morning all. Day 6 and things are starting to click into place. Managed to get back on the bike this morning and cycle to work despite the end of days style rain. It was harder work than usual so I just took it easy. Time to go and make my shake. Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com...

Well done for resisting. On my second day I had to take my team to the pub for lunch. I nearly climbed on the table to rip a burger out of one of their hands. Managed to stay strong with a mineral water. I'm on day four now, still 100% and I'm in ketosis and doing fine. You'll get...

Hey, thanks for the input both. On my second attempt I used a blender before microwaving it and it was much better although still weird. I'll try less water tomorrow I think. I also think that there won't be any porridge on my next order. .... I keep hearing rumours of making biscuits...

I've just made my first porridge and I think I must have done something wrong. It was really weirdly lumpy and had a horrible consistency. Any tips for improving it? Sent from my GT-N7100 using MiniMins.com mobile app

Hey. I'm starting exante tomorrow too. It's my first time on a Vlc, I'm a little bit nervous about it. I have a holiday booked in March and I want too lose as much as possible before then. I'm going to use TS and then start adding exercise next week. Cycling to work and back each day...
