    Hi there, sorry I haven't been on recently, joints bad! I don't blame you for being excited and worried about eating proper food again. I have been sticking to plan Mon-Fri and eating on weekend or when need stronger meds and found it surprisingly easy to go back to plan again. You'll be fine...

    Tbag's last push on... my food diary

    Hi TBag, I'd never ventured to this part of the forum as I am way off maintaining. You are doing really well, but prove how strict I'll have to be when I get to my goal weight and come of SS+. What effect do you think exercise has on weight +/-, I have heard mixed reviews so stayed away upto now...

    Step 1 Sole Source In your face week 1, bring on week 2!!

    What a fantastic start for you both and must be such a great motivation for week 2. Hope your CDC advised that loss on the 2nd week is usually much smaller - just didn't want you to be deflated if its not as good as eek 1. Well done again, and good luck. Heidi

    Are the packs tasty?

    Hi and congrats on choosing to do the CD. Whether you like the packs or not is really dependant on your tastes - if you look across this forum you'll see how varied tastes are. I despise the soups and porridges, but like most of the shakes and bars. It would be a good idea to try a varied...

    Step 1 Sole Source + Wow that porridge really is gross!

    Hi Marshflower, the porridge made me physically sick as did the soup. Speak to your CDC about swapping packs if you can't stomach them until you find packs that you can eat without gagging! Once you find packs you like/don't mind, you'll find the plan much easier :) Good luck, Heidi

    Hi Ladies, I totally agree with Cazzie, you could have gone completely off the rails and didn't. You should be proud of yourself.

    Hi Morgan, don't think drinking too much water is a problem re weight loss, but it can be bad for your health. It's best to spread it out throughout the day and ave your packs/meals as they contain fluids as well. Are you on SS+? Congrats on starting and let us know how you get on. Heidi

    Hi Dawni, I hope you are finding the first few days Ok. Unfortunately, for the plan to be successful I have found your need to be quite selfish at times and just do what is best for you.

    What a great thing to do, raising money for charity as well as loosing the weight. I do hope that you have a reward in mind just for you at the end of all your hard work.

    I am so sorry your CDC is digging her heels in re bars, bar humbug! It's crazy if you are struggling and thinking about quitting. Which packs have you tried?

    Are there any nice packs????

    Sorry to hear you are struggling so much. I couldn't eat the porridge or soups, so CDC let me have bars early rather than leave me with nothing. So, I have had shakes and bars since then and WI's have been fine. I'm sure she'd rather this than force you to give in. Fingers crossed you find...
