    Woohooo we have posts! ..
    I went into panic mode earlier then there had only been 1 ..... thought everyone had left me :( lol
    Ive been a swapped my yukky porridge for choc and a choc orange :( dont like either! that tipped me over the edge! ...

    I am however a lil bit proud of myself .. me and the kids walked to a friends house today (1st visit since starting) and i had a black tea and a glass of water how good is that! ... whats better is we also went to tesco for bread and milk AND .. i didnt even want to look for anything! ... i bought 2 magazines and the bread and milk we went for, altho i did have a mental blip ! .. we walked passed the beggers basket and they had some lovely *raspberry roulade* and *pavlova* all reduced and my head said
    "aww see trust them to have all the nice stuff reduced now you cant have it"

    Ha naughty brain! ...
    Ive just cooked for the family didnt even bother me about what had ..
    (to pornographic to mention) .. altho have to say when i did the dogs tea the smeal made me urge! and normally it doesnt bother me one little bit!!!

    odd uh!?

    ;) choc warm shake for supper :) ..and a crossword book to keep my hands and mind busy :) ....

    StokeGal how has your day been ???
    Pap be sure to show us a piccie of your bag when you find it
    Hunbun .... yep defo screw loose! ... ;)


    Piratess, I am so glad you swapped the shakes you didnt like. It so much easier on this diet of you are eating what you like. If I had to do this diet with only the shakes I hated I would never have completed it :rotfl:

    I cant believe you braved a coffee morning and tesco so early on in the diet. I work in a coffee shop and that was bad enough :rolleyes: So much praise to you girly :T Oh yeah I had that 'you can't have it nah nah' brain thing. I had one today actually, I saw some really lush fudge cake.. damn you :rotfl:

    I have found a few bags I like... however being mse I am bidding on one through ebay. if I dont win it I will go for my second option... Will keep you posted. However they are the 'Animal' bags so that will help you some what :rotfl:

    What do you mean two the same flavour? You should be having 3 shake/'meals' a day on SS. It doesnt matter what flavours they are/if they are all one item ie all shakes/all porridge or when you have them. Although it is reccomended you have them at your 'usual' meal times. Or at least start having them then when you get close to goal. Helps with maintanace :)

    I did it again and it came up the 2nd pink + faible 0.15 g/L

    I haven't had some much s a sniff of sugar / sweetener since I started yesterday morning. I didn't reduce my carbs before hand though - I had MAJOR binge in fact I was scoffing the last of the shortbread millionaire at 11.58pm on Wednesday because I was starting on the Wednesday. Since then the only thing I have eaten is 1 shake, 2 soups on Wednesday with 2 pints of water (very bad I know) and then 2 mouthfuls of porridge, 3/4 of chicken and mushroom soup and 1 oriental chilli soup with nothing but 3 litres of PLAIN BORING water. I'll try to finish this litre of water and test again in the morning

    I'm sure you are Piratess but I'll have my fingers crossed for you

    Right I'm off to bed as OH is watching the F Word and it's making me hungry so I'm going to sleep before I take my emergency shake out of the freezer

    Night All xx

    They arnt expensive, about £7, cheaper on ebay though ;) Just be prepared they are for diabetics so you may be questioned. Just explain you are on a VLCD and are being monitored by docs/counsellers.

    Hang on, so how many shakes/porrige/soups to you have a day? Everyone on SS should be having a min of 3 per day :confused: I am now seriously getting worried. Having less than 3 mean you arnt having your minerals/vits....

    This could be why you still feel ill :confused:

    Ohhh yes I love Animal stuff could never fit in it before. My 100lbs lost 'item' (as well as the momiji dolls) is a tattoo of 100 and my ultimate goal is a Doug Hyde print :D Oh and a 'Go Ape' outing :T

    Ahh I understand you usually have 3 but ahve only had 2 today ~ Phew... was getting very worried. If you can try and get a quick one in before bed because of your vits/min. However if you dont please get in your 3 tomorrow... Or I will tell you off :rotfl:

    You must remember or it could make you seriously ill. Try and pace it out of set an alarm or something. Please dont skip/miss shakes too often. The same as you shouldnt keep having extra although on once and a while isnt overly bad :D

    Yep, isnt open over winter but I have always wanted to do it. The prob is you are weighed befroe you can start. I didnt want to weigh in at nearly 18st :eek:
