    Finger nails not growing

    Hi - I am at the end of week 5 and have noticed that my finger nails have hardly grown in the last 3 weeks. It's more noticeable because I have acrylic nails and when went for my last appointment they didn't need doing because there just wasn't any growth. It's really unusual for me, the...

    Salad

    I don't honestly know but it was still a much better option than the chicken tikka, rice and naan bread that I had on Friday night pre CD! Too late now anyway! See how you feel tomorrow and try and remember how bad you feel now. X

    Carvery choice - HELP!! *obviously food mentioned!*

    Hi - at least with a carvery you can choose what you put on your plate. Maybe an Atkins style approach will work - stick to lean stuff though.

    Birthday and cd?

    Have the meal and enjoy it! The food choices you make at the time will be similar to maintaining when you have lost all your weight, so it's good practice! lol You can be 100% before the meal and after. (don't take a full day off) Life had still to happen but as long as you are focussed...

    borderline liver function test and CD

    I think I would make an appointment to see the doctor. There is a lot of stuff on the internet about the so called dangers of VLCD's. Your doctor might repeat the test and advise you. Hope you get on OK X

    A bit annoyed with myself :(

    I don't call that really cheating! If you had demolished a packet of crisps or biscuits you would be right to be annoyed with yourself. Carry on and forget it but make sure you have spare packs just in case it happens again and you don't have anything to hand. X
