    i find the only way i can get my water down is if i drink from a 500/750ml bottle... that way it's easy to measure how many roughly you've had in a day, and covenient at your desk....

    i swear by them......

    none of this water by the glass thing!

    We've all got litre bottles here, marked with gaffer tape so we know who's is who's. I try to have 3 a day ;)
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Ive got a 750 ml of Evian that I top up. Once I start I'm usually OK, it just takes me a while to get going.

    So all this talk of water just cracked open my first of the day. Need a few today before wi tom!!

    another way i trick myself is by drinking a cup full when i brush my teeth... and i also have a 500ml bottle in the 10 min drive to work....

    gets the slooshy feeling out of the way early!!

    i remember thinking i hadn't drank enough water one sunday before weigh in, so i drank like mad all day... but it made me heavy and bloated cause it was too much/too late. So cram it in today, and reasonable amounts tomorrow but not too much or you'll throw your weigh in....

    (did you watch Australian Biggest loser last week, Wal tricked the other team by water loading up so his weigh loss was negligable. so water weight must be a true thing!)

    Have some chicken or fish and veg, just don't have potatoes hun... cabbage is allowed if you're on 810 i think...

    or salad of some kind...

    no pasta, pastry, potatoes, bread.... you'll be able to work something out of the menu... you're cleverer than the rest of us chris!!

    no wine though! :naughty: so you offer to drive........

    i have every faith in you!

    and above all enjoy it!

    cheers maz for that, i know i'll be ok, think i'll just ask for chicken breast and a salad, i can pick at the salad.......

    just been the doctors to see the nurse about my very sore arm from my fall the other day, she has drressed it and said i have to go back monday, as it is a bit red and swollen, and it's now sore from her messing with it.....lol

    She asked me to answer a few questions, do i still not smoke, and she asked to take my weight, so i stood on her scales and she said 9st 12lb....wow

    On my scales on monday morning i was 10st 6lb

    I wasn't going to check on mine till monday, but i just thought i may as well and on mine i'm 9st 13lb, that's a big loss for 4 days.

    but i do hope it is right, chicken, salad, no sweet and def no wine for me i'm driving.

    good luck all xxx

    Woooo wooo! 9 stone 12lbs! you must be near maintaining by now no??

    What are you aiming for?



    I'm just forcing down a chocolate orange shake, i thought i'd taken a choc one, but it was choc orange, bleugh!!!

    Does actually taste like Terrys but still is bleugh!!

    all orange oil and no chocolate...



    I hopped on Leisure centre scales, no loss since sunday... i am disheartened... never mind... i need to stay 100% focused so i am at my lowest by the time i go see the new CDC a week from now....

    the temptation is to slip and treat her as a new start next week, but i am resisting that urge... i'm staying focused.... and will crack this!

    Thanks for the encouragement all.

    I am taking on 4 litres but if I'm honest it's not been enough over last 3 days. WILL do 4 litres today (2 down already) and tomorrow and hope that makes a difference.

    I have had 3 sachets today and feel good for sticking with it.

    Hope my CDC doesn't kill me. I feel so annoyed I've spent £42 for nothing so far...not very MSE.

    Keep positive!!!!
