Just started today!

[Cathy]

Hi to all, I've just started today and reading all your posts has been an inspiration and a real motivator for me. My friend at work has started today as well, so we hope to keep each other going.
So far I've had some diarrhoea and have a headache,:sigh: but otherwise OK and really determined. I am 17st10lbs and am going on hol in 9 weeks, so the plan is 8 weeks of TFR then a weeks refeed, 2 weeks hol. and then BACK ON IT!!

Oh thanks to all of you! I'm freezing, so am just off to take two paracetamol and have my chicken soup with my fleecy dressing gown on over my clothes!
So nice to know that you're all out there with me.

Sounds like a plan, your symptoms are normal - drink plenty of water, keep occupied and good luck for your first weigh in

Hi Cathy,
Welcome and good luck with the diet. I started at the same weight as you and lost 10lbs in the first week and 7lbs this week. It has not been easy but I have muddled through. I noticed the difference in my clothes today and that will keep me motivated for next week.

Just before I go to bed, I'd like to say thanks again for this support, it's really going to make a difference knowing there are loads of you out there doing the same thing. Good luck and love to you all, let's all keep strong.
