Hey All,

I just wanted to drop in and say HI!... your threads a very informative and inspirational...

I have been on SS for 5 days and have busted through the hunger and mind games and finally dont feel very hungry and have awful breath so must be in ketosis YAY!.... my clothes are already fitting me much better and am feeling very in control...

Few quick q's though - what can I do about my breath and can we use Equal in our black coffee?...

All the best and KEEP GOING!!!

Cheers
Kat

Hi Kat, welcome to CD. Stick with it and it will go. Start to cheat or come off for a break and it will stay longer. (I know I've been bad in the past)

Hello fellow Sydneysider!! Well...I now live in London-but I still call Australia home (cue orchestra and Peter!)
I carry a travel toothbrush set with me everywhere and drink lots of mint tea.Those spray things are meant to be good-but look into it, cause I think I've read on here that some aren't for cd'ers...
We can use the tablet sweeteners. Good luck-it's worth it! x
