    Those are great loses. I've only 11lbs to go and a wedding to go to in 3 weeks so if I could get another 7lbs off before then I'd be thrilled. I resisted going onto 810 for those exact reasons but I was hungry on ss. I realise it now when mum full on 810. When u going onto step 3?

    Ah you poor thing. Nothing worse than being homesick! I've followed your example and gone up a step onto 810 because I've only lost 3 & 1/2lbs in 3 weeks. Did u find u lost in the first week on it??

    I'm afraid my skin was shot to hell long before losing weight as I've yo-yoed for 10 loooong years and had 2 babies. My goal is a tummy tuck as my stomach is horrific! I haven't noticed any hair loss really to be honest but I've heard that other people do. I would take it easy at the gym as my...

    I'm finding the diet easier to stick to as I go along I think. It's the only diet I've stuck to and ive tried them all, literally. I have set myself mini goals every couple of weeks and I just went to my friends hen do yesterday so was working towards that. It's easy to get complacent but when...

    Make it into a paste with a couple of teaspoon of the water, then whisk or blend in the rest of the water (use very hot water as it goes cold quickly) and leave it a minute. The veggie soup has lots of bits and they were all chewy because I didn't leave them long enough... Still ate it though! I...

    I love it too. It's like Thai chicken noodle... Minus the noodles and chicken. I got a good tip for mixing the soup. I've got a little whisk thing for making frothy milk , an aerolatte, it gets rid of all lumps!:)

    I'm like that too Donna. Just feel "hungry" but it goes once I'm busy. Have made myself very busy today. Walk with the kids, gardening and getting stuff ready for school. I feel hungriest at about 3/4pm. I'm taking green tea capsules to see if they work.

    Morning Fay!! I'm on day 3 same as you. I found day 1 was hardest oddly enough. I've washed my trainers and going to brave a walk later. I had started a bit of jogging last year and it was really toning me up. You thinking of doing exercise?

    That's exactly why I got the soups and porridge. Think it feels "normal" and thought it would set me up for maintenance too if I get into the habit of having a healthy brekkie and soup.

    I've got 2 kids. A boy that's 7 and a girl that's 2. They haven't even noticed me doing this yet. I started this really after my son asked me was I having another baby cos my tummy was so fat! At least it wasn't a stranger that said it :0
