Newbie saying hi!

[kellsbells76]

Hi I have been trying to post for almost a week and today my account is fixed, I think it was caused by an iPad app for minim ins I was trying to access the site with.

My name is Kelly and have just started today I have a lot to lose and this is my last chance to do it once and for all.

I started today with chocolate shake and a chocolate orange bar for lunch and so far I am quite worried I won't be able to stick with it, the shake tasted horrible and left a taste of fish in my mouth and the bar was dry and over chewy I couldn't it it all and ended up leaving about a third of it. I am now starving but don't know wheat to use, I am hoping the others in my pack are not as bad.

Any advice on the best flavours greatly appreciated! Or is this what they all taste like?

I am hoping to lose nearly 3st by Christmas x

Hi and welcome Kelly. Congrats on taking the first step on your weight-loss journey.

Have a good read of the threads and diaries to hear about other people's experiences. In regards to taste a lot of newbies hate them at first but you get used to them. Just try and see it as medicine that you need to take 3 times a day to be happy and healthy. The first week is the hardest but WHEN you make it through it will feel so worth it. I personally liked them all from day one but had been on a low carb diet in the months prior so i think that had something to do with it or my taste buds are just strange ;D Re. your question I think there's a thread in the Stickies about how people have the shakes and soups to make them taste better that might help.

Good Luck!

Hiya Hun welcome have you tried adding a sweetener to the shake? Have them hot?? I love hot vanilla with a spoon full of coffee in your tastes will change after a few days so try again with the choc then I love the strawberries and banana shakes cold with ice I'm mmm hope your good and like the rest of your packs xxx
