    Hiya girls, everyone sounds nice and happy today - me too! I managed to resist the urge to eat last night, although I did spend a lot of time researching what might be the least harmful thing to have and stay in ketosis, lol.

    Part of it I think is that 2 people who don't know I'm dieting again, commented on how "skinny" I look yesterday (if a size 18/20 person can be skinny, lol), and I think I wanted to hide away from the attention. Daft huh...

    Turns out the fed up and wanting to eat urges are likely to have been PMT, so what a relief for me that I didn't cave in and eat everything in the cupboards. A double relief, as I have lost another 2lb overnight :):):)

    Good morning everyone,

    Well feeling more positive today, I have figured as everyone has said that the doctors do have my best interest and I will make an appointment tomorro to see them before I have my weigh in on thursday. I will just explain I have already been on the diet for 3 weeks without a problem and the loss in weight has been brilliant and see what he says.

    I'm glad everyone is being strong HWGA and Kittikins well done on the loss and I cant wait till more people start noticing it is working! Hopefully I will get less comments on how drastic the diet is.

    I was driving home from Kent yesterday and felt really happy and energetic which hasn't happenned for me in years. It is amaizing how well I feel on this diet and really want to see it all the way through.

    Well hope everyone has a brilliant day!

    Hi,
    Well day 2 is here and no headaches, choc tetra for breakfast and then tomato soup for lunch but omg urrrrgghh, it had a hint of sand for texture!!! Kept choking on it, i used the shaker and shook it really well but maybe a blender was needed.
    The Leek and Potato one was lush and nice and smooth, anyone else think that about the tomato soups? I love tomato just annoyed about the grit lol. Still determined to crack on as i lost 3lb overnight!!! Yayyy...bring it on! :T

    hey tara,

    I find if you mix the tomato soup up too hot it does gfo grainy! if you mix it up cold then microwave it for 1 ans a half mins it smoothes out and tastes ok. Hope this helps :)

    Hi and thanks for that tip,
    I made a boo boo and didnt mix it to a paste first!!! Better luck next time and ive invested in a hand blender and my choc mint shake i had earlier was ok so glad bout that. Lookin forward to tryin a diff soup tomoz, feel fine today, no diff and not hungry just finding myself thinkin it wierd wen i cook kids meals....just keep sayin to myself the nice food will still be there wen i reach where i wanna go on this, couple of days does feel like u been without food foreva but one u overcome the feeling u "should" be eating even though ur not hungry in think u hav hit the jackpot.

    Like i said, the food will still be there and hopefully i will last as long as poss for my sake so thumbs up still for now :j

    Day 3 tomoz!!!
  • End of my first week and I am 8lb DOWN! I'm really happy with that:j, especially considering my midnight munches on Friday:o


    How is everyone else?

    Ahoy Pirate and all the other shipmates :)

    Call ACAS asap re: your OH situation, they've always been hugely helpful to me and are easier to get through to than the CAB (and in my experience, far more knowledgeable, apologies to any CAB advisors reading, but ACAS are just for employment/HR matters)

    I had a few tense moments this morning, wondering if today my weight loss would stop as after all, I have lost weight every day since I started last Monday, but yippee!! I lost another pound :) Surely it'll slow down by tomorrow, I can't have that much glucogen, can I??
  • Hi all,
    Day 3 today!!!.....and 5lbs down this morning, not bad for the last 2 days!! Im over the moon so hope theres lots more to come before my first weigh in on Monday, but even better when fat burning starts. Dont feel at all hungry and keep telling myself this isnt forever.
    Gave the choc orange shake another go for breakfast as bought a hand held blender but...no..still got that nasty taste to it so off to change them with my CDC soon, might try another flavour and more soups instead. Its def good to hav a bit of savory too i couldnt just do it with the shakes alone so very very pleased with myself so far just hope it stays as easy goin as it is, with no headaches or feeling awful at all.
    Trips to the loo bit annoying but will all be worth it in the end....hope everyone else has a great day x :D
