Hey Jen, welcome to the group! Good luck with your first day, imagine that will be Wednesday now?
As for hints and tips, the biggest thing I'd say is make sure you don't give up in the first week as it can be tough! Drink plenty of water and get some exercise starting in week 2. You'll get that goal sorted in no time, I've lost around the same as I can see you have on your ticker and in only 12 weeks

Never give up
Hiya Jen. Loads of distraction is the key. In the two weeks I've been on TS I've completely cleared out two wardrobes and two very messy children's rooms. Come and post here if you're feeling bad, there's always someone about to give you support. Timing your shakes is important too - I don't have my first shake till lunchtime because I can't bear going to bed hungry. Not that I get hungry much any more, but it's all psychological with me. :drool:
Other than that, drink loads of water, and be ready for a hell of a first week. Good luck, we're all here for you.

I'm on TS too! Had a bit of a shaky start but don't give up! Once the first week is out of the way it's a dream!!

Hi Jen, welcome to exante!
I started TS 2 weeks ago and have so far lost 13lbs! I've never stuck to any diet but after reading diaries on here which gave me so much inspiration decided to give it a go and so glad that I did. Yes it's tough especially the first week (I resisted x3 takeaways in that week which hurt)! Lol but you do get over it. I actually don't really think about food anymore and never feel hungry. I actually struggle to have my 3rd shake in the evening now.
As everyone else has said, stick to it no matter how hard it is as you will be surprised by the results. Drink lots and lots of water and have a variety of products so you don't get bored. Ps. You can also drink black tea/coffee, dr.pepper zero which is very yummy! Coke zero and peppermint tea. A lot of people mix their coffee in with their vanilla shakes which I do too, and feels like a iced latte Mmm.
Best of luck to you!

Hiya, jen! I'm on Day 3 right now! Joining in to wish you luck
Headaches are definitely to be expected especially in the first few days & the first week. It will pass though, make sure you are drinking enough water steadily throughout the day (it really does make a huge difference to everything!), I felt really nauseated on Day 2 but today I honestly feel 100% better.
Hang in there! x

Hello good luck on your weight loss. I add cinnamon nutmeg and ginger powder to my vanilla shakes tastes really nice x
I know the weight will slow down eventually, which I'm not looking forward to. but I think I may be over doing it with the exercising at the moment. I can't stop, feels like I have to much energy in me (which isn't something I'm used to) haha. Plus I have 6/7 stone to lose , so maybe that's why it's coming off quickly. Who knows.
