She carried on with the bullying and capability the whole academic year and would have gone for my dismissal but the union finally stepped in (apparently they had to wait for it to go as far as it did before they could do anything). Union rep had meetings with her line manager and both had meetings with HR, I also had meetings with her line manager they all said there was no evidence against me; no case to answer; basically she was told to end it or the union would take out a grievance against her. She very grudgingly dropped it last week and has hardly spoken to me since (that's a plus).
So consequently I did a lot of comfort eating and put everything i'd lost back on. Don't know what atmosphere will be like in Sept but don't need to think about that for 5 weeks.

Hi! I also started yesterday, and am a teacher so working at losing a stone or two (preferably the latter) before school starts. I'm mixing the lifestyle and simplicity programmes so having a protein and veg meal if needed. Yesterday I had 1 pack and 2 protein meals as my packs didn't arrive til 4pm.
This morning I felt weak and food was calling to me as I made my kids breakfast, but I resisted (with the help of black coffee). I'm planning on having packs at 10am, 1pm, 4pm and 8pm until I'm in ketosis, then I might change timings. What about you? You've done this successfully before, any tips?

Water; if you feel hungry drink a glass of water first before you're tempted to stray. Also keep several bottles in the fridge so you can just grab one. I fill 6 x 500ml ones each night ready for the next day; then as I drink them I leave the empty ones on the worktop so I can se that I've had my quota. I find the 500ml one best as its not so daunting drinking one of those as it is looking at downing a litre bottle.
Also if really hungry have an extra pack because that's far better than picking at food.
And don't beat yourself up if you have to have a meal out; try to stick with steak / chicken and salad with no dressing; just get straight back on plan asap.
Good luck and we should be able to lose 1.5 stones this holidays as generally a big loss the first week; think I lost 10/11lbs my first week last summer.

Wow, I would LOVE 10lbs off by this one next week - how much would be glycogen / water, and how much would be fat, do you reckon?

I'm restarting today too. I was on plan earlier in the year but had to stop due to an operation. I'm recovered now and looking to lose at least a stone before I go back to school in September too. I started the 30 day shred today to boost my fitness and hopefully get my muscles awoken that are currently lounging under vast amounts of flab!!
Good luck everyone!

Day 2 has been good... I had 3 packs and a meal. I plan to generally do 4 packs, but this was a planned deviation. Well done for going swimming Trisha. I'm not feeling up to facing the public in my cozzie yet!! But I did manage to complete day 2 of the 30 day shred.
