Morning sweeties,

Well i just had a preview... U could call it a mid way weigh in & iv lost 5 llbs!!!! Happy happy happy! Im chuffed. Weirdly i wore my normal size 16 jeans yesterday & they felt slightly lose. Its day 4 today & hopefully will stay 100% ts again today. I must admit yes2dy wz the hardest day so far, went to check our new house we just bought & rushed out hme forgetting to take a pack. So bought a coke zero on the way. Kept feeling hungry but stayed focused. For the first time in days actually craved anything just to kill the hunger. So glad i didnt cave in. Well got a wedding to go 2 in bham next sunday so need to go buy my little man (his 17 months old ) a pair of smart shoes... So hopefully alot of walking will be done 2dy might pop in tescos & c if the BL bars are still on offer. There's huge tescos, sainsburys & asda all walking distance in beckton so will check them out.
Have a good day everyone!! )

good luck and well done, can i just ask, what drinks can u have as i only read about the juices u can buy and coffee as long as its black and certain teas (but i hate herbal teas) if u can have a can of zero coke, or dr pepper zero then i think this will help me when im desperate at work as it gives u a little sweet kick?????

Mrnin!

Yesterday was a little hard. Felt so hungry on& off throughout the day. Id planned 2 go out shopping etc but the weather in london was just so s**t! Pouring rain all day. It was one of those days where u grab ur duvet on the sofa, watch dvds & veg out! I stayed strong though 100% TS only 1 thing had 2 coke zeros throughout the day. I hope that dont affect me. My WI will be on wed.... Feeling Excited & nervous

Hi Amzie,

Im on day5.. I used to treat the drinks as treats so in case i get really hungry then i crack open a can lol
My routine 1 litre water 1st thing after i get up, black coffee with sweetner 4 brkfst thena shake abt 1pm & maybe another coffee. About 6-7pm i eat the bar. I look forward to it.. Love the bars mmmmmmm. The rest of the 2-3 litres water throughout the day but finish b4 8pm... Or u will b going loo all night lol
The litre bottles really help & i can monitor how much water i drink.
Dont worry abt ur slip up.. First few days esp r tough but hang in the it will b worth it & remember y u want to do it
Tc
Were worth it!!!!

 

[kay80]

Thank you cake!! Good luck 2 u 2!
Ur doing so well aswell.

Hi there, I am also on day 5 and have never tried a VLCD before and was wondering if you happen to feel bloated today? I've also got stomach pains. I imagine this is just my body adjusting but thought I'd ask?

 

[MrMojo]

been to the toilet recently? not no 1's

 

[kay80]

Nope, luckily i havent felt bloated or anything like that.. Touch wood! I feel fine & more energised. Was a bit moody for a bit.... But got over that nw once i had my choc shake.
Dont worry u will have your up & dwn days but they will pass. Just stay focused & think long term
Cos were worth it

 

[phi]

Much to my surprise I have been to the loo but my belly is still distended! Nevermind I'm sure it'll pass, just need to give it time i suppose.

And yes you are right.. we are worth it lol.

also I'm in ketosis today which is a huge relief! Just waiting now for the energy boost to kick in!

Thank you for your replies guys
