day 2 down

[chele80]

kerching!!
just about to have my third shake
am quite liking the chocolate (good job I bought 14 of them) and am wondering what to have for tea.
Think I'll have a latte

Can I make a coffee (no milk) and add it to this?

Am a little peckish - got a bit of a headache so am drinking more - but it was my first day back at work for 17 days so that might have something to do with it! x

Well done...soon you will be in ketosis

Hi - glad you're enjoying your shakes - cos you ain't got anything else to look forward to, apart from the flapjacks (which I haven't tried yet)!! I'm on week 3 and still finding it a doddle - don't particularly like the shakes or the soup, but I don't hate them so can cope with it all.

I can't believe how fast this diet works, so good luck to you and hope you achieve all your aims.

i have no ketostix (forgot about them) so just waiting for smelly breath
is it really nasty?

 

[BARBARA SMITH]

Sorry, should have said that YES you can have coffeee - black only. I add coffee granules to the vanilla shakes - can be either iced coffee with an ice cub in, or latte if you heat it up.

 

[chele80]

oooooooo lovely. Might have to get some more vanilla and swap some of the mountain of chocolate I have

chele, i just added hot water to a vanilla shake and then added a spoonful of coffee and it was just like a frothy coffee

im on day two and in ketosis already, no bad breath here yet thankfully

 

[chele80]

yeah my fiance is really looking forward to that part!

 

[*Pink Pixie*]

hehehe, yeah i bet he is

Chele, don't worry about the ketostix, if you are sticking to the diet then you'll defo be in ketosis by about day 3.

Bad breath and some have a hairy tongue and build up on teeth. I just brushed my teeth whenever I went out and used mouthwash if I was out too long.

Good luck.

[chele80]

hairy tongue - yup he's def gonna love me

 

[BARBARA SMITH]

I'm using loads of body spray cos I'm convinced I stink all over - not just the breath!! I was advised that people can 'smell' ketosis on me, so I think I'm a tad paranoid about it now!! I bought a diddy holiday size bottle of Listerine mouthwash - perfect handbag size. Can have a sloosh any time of day, or just put a dab on my tongue and roll around my mouth to freshen it up.

While I'm on, can anyone tell me how I can add a list of my weight loss week by week to my messages? I see lots of people doing it, But I can't work out how to do it. And yes, I am blonde!!

Good luck everyone.

Hi Barbara,

Click on User CP in the blue bit then click Edit signature then you can type anything in it and save it.

You may have to post more to do this, I'm not sure but someone said the more you post the more privileges you earn. I think 50 is the first magic number!

[BARBARA SMITH]

Thanks for your help. I suspect you're right about not having enough privileges cos I tried putting it in my signature and it said I didn't have enough characters or something like that. I'll try again another time.

Well done 4 getting through the day so well.

 

[BARBARA SMITH]

Hi everyone. Been a tad busy with stuff - you know how the time goes! Thought it about time I updated my counter. You're all doing fantastically well.

I tried a peanut bar last week - NEVER AGAIN! It was like eating an Oxo cube with bits of nut in it. The only good point was that it took me almost an hour to eat it. I'm gonna stick to the shakes - at least I know what to expect now.

Good luck everyone - we are going to be sooooooo glam when we've finished.
