@ V-Girl - ha theres no November starters group yet so you'll have to make do with is.
My nob of a GP refused to sign my form today saying it was against the practice policy as they have concerns about vlcds. So I've got to pay £40 to get superdrug to do it instead. It has better be worth all the hassle when I eventually start. Anyway form filling on Wednesday still in time for Thursday group. Think I'll cut out the fizzy drinks in preparation. Hope everyone is ok xx

LOL It will be fine Vanda. I feel like I've already started as I reduce my sugar intake, preparation. No chocolate for the last two days - miracle.
Regarding your Dr - I'm not sure why they have such an issue with it? Yet most will be happy to put you up for an op? What's that all about.
They wanted me to go on a diet that they put together and have check-ups with the nurse. But that seemed pointless, as it's not dealing with my emotional eating issues. I have got to get my form signed so I will call the surgery tomorrow and see what their policy is about it. Oh joy!
Glad you're getting yours done!

Hi October Starters....
anyone else struggling?!?! I am on day 3 and I'm snappy and irritable and starving and craving chicken of all things!! I was crying last night through frustration but I think I left too big a gap between food packs.
I keep being told these feelings will go and it will get easier, I really hope they do. I am meeting with the counsellor tomorrow for a weigh in and chat, she thinks that I'll have some results already but I don't think I will.
Anyone else feeling my pain?!!

It's worth it! Welcome all new starters and nearly new starters. I had the same issue with my GP and had to pa £55 at a private GP , it is fab though.
I go to asda monthly for ongoing health checks, it's free there.
Good luck all, water, water, water! And post on here as well as read it helps,

Thats just my point about 'diets' I know what to eat I need help in sorting out my head. Any joy with the surgery ?
Oh sorry you are having a rough time, I think things should improve once you are in ketosis. I'm sure you will have a weight loss tomorrow and that will give you the boost you need x
Thats great motivation starting just before your hols. I hope you have a lovely time xx
£55? so I should be happy with my £40 charge then. There will be no problem with the monthly checks cos as I am a nurse I can do that myself. So thats something anyway

I've been told by the LLC as long as I put my PIN number on there I can do it myself so there will be no problems
Hey all,
Hope you are having good weekends.
I thought I'd let you all know that I went to a drop in weigh in on Saturday, and after 3 days I had lost half a stone, I couldn't actually believe it and said to the woman that I don't think the scales are working!!
I am really pleased, this is extremely hard and a daily struggle but if I carry on losing like that it won't be for long!!
I hope everyone else is doing well
