Thanks. He just came back from test, failed with 1 major and 6 minors . He is a bit upset, he actually bought a bottle of wine to give to his driving instrucor if he passed, you know , like a thank you gift, but since he failed, he took the wine home, and he was almost tempted to drink the whole thing, but i stopped him. Need to stick to the diet, i am so proud,hahaha.
Anyway, here is to day 2. :candledinner:
Enjoy the rest of your day

Rubbish! Tell him not to worry, most people fail the first time, he can always re-take it!

Hey Pang!!

I'm on day 1 now, loved the chocolate milkshake.. didn't bother with sweetener. Hated the tomato soup even with adding rosemary and tabasco sauce it was yukky lol. I've drank around a litre this morning so the water bit is going well.

Also had a chocolate orange bar, its good too. I like the shakes but i just normally prefer savoury food .
Good luck on your second day, keep posting

Day 2- finished
Was not very hard, but there was time in the afternoon that i could not stop thinking about food. I do not think i was particularly hungry, but just really really really want some real food, that last for about 3 hours until i had my dinner-mushroom soup, i made it with 400ml water, so it was more filling than usual, felt much much better afterwards. So, for day 2, i had 1 chocolate orange bar, 1 mushroom soup, 1 thai chicken soup. I just did not feel like anything sweet today, so i had 2 soups instead. It is so weird that i feel like i am the only person here love the soups. Also, feeling really cold today, think thats one of the side effects, apart from that, everything went ok, no headache which was good, since i had a headache on day 1 , it was horrible:cry:. Still have not reach my 3L water goal, need to work on it
Good luck everyone. Good night!

Yeah, i have to agree with you there, i am so weird, tried thai chichen, mushroom, tomato basil, love them all But i actually feel pretty good for being weird on this, hahaha,more variety of food to eat.
So far, day 3 has been good.

Hey Pang I am a day behind you but you sound so cheerful today I am less worried about tomorrow now!

I also like the soups, have had tomato and thai chicken so far and they were nice I added tabasco but I just like spicy things and it warms me up! I think if you like savoury things more then with the shakes and bars the soups are a treat

Well done on staying so happy and positive so far, hope you and your boyfriend are ok!

Today has been pretty good. I've got all the effects of going into ketosis - ice cold hands and feet and a metallic taste in my mouth. I've not used the stix though, apparently they aren't very accurate. I've been 100% since starting on Monday, just hoping I can keep it up. I know I'll have the odd hiccup along the way, everyone does. Have you jumped on the scales yet? I jumped on earlier today but they've not moved. I'm dreading that I won't lose much weight now. Which seems impossible but we'll see!
Hope tomorrow goes well! x

Hey thanks for asking. i am doing ok, because i have been really busy , so that helps alot to take my mind away from food. Today i had one toffee nut bar and one thai chicken soup, think about have another soup later, yes, i do have my last meal very late, otherwise i find it difficult to sleep. Hope you feel better now, do something to keep you busy when you think about food, it happened to me yesterday , i got up and played wii fit, it worked, forgot food and did some exercise
Good luck!

Good stuff. But i have not got the metalic taste in my mouth yet, so might not in ketosis yet, oh well.Just need to contine being 100%, i cant believe i am doing this, kinda proud hahaha. I am not going to lie to you , i was going to wait until monday to do my first WI, but i actually weighted myself on wii fit board today, could not stop it, i lost 2 lb so far, not really happy about it though, put me off a bit, so i am not going to weight until next monday, sure will see a better number. And i am sure you will see a good number too, just give it a bit more time, everyone's body is different
We can do this baby

Thanks Jen. I mean being on any diet is awful in some way, but if we stay cheerful, everything seems easier and better, or is it just me? Thank God that someone else like the soups too, i am not that weird after all, hahahaha. i love spicy food too,adding tobasco sounds awsome,going to give it a try, but i have not been to any supermarket since on the diet, a bit nervous to get surrounded by food.hahaha. and i just love soups more than shakes and bars, yeah, totally treat for me.
Keep going! we can do it !:talk017:

p.s oh yeah, bf is doing fine, he failed the driving test, a bit upset about that, but did not go for food for comfort, well done him!! heeheehee

 

[Dance_Magic]

Yeah, I'm the same. Seeing no movement on the scales upset me but then I had to remember that I only started on Monday. I'm definitely only going to be weighing myself on Monday mornings now! haha.
We definitely can do this! So glad this forum exists

 

[bisousbisous]

Well done on the -2lbs!! Ahh i'm so tempted to weigh myself now haha! x

Day 3- Finished

Oh yes,finished day 3 without cheating!!! Still not drinking enough water though, really need to work on that, anybody know how to drink 3L a day without pushing yourself too hard? anyone?

So for day 3, i had 1 toffee nut bar, i love it, i did not think i would, becaus my bf told me they are awful, but i love it, oh yeah. Also had 2 soups, 1 mushroom , 1 thai chicken., still do not feel like any shake at all. And, and, i weighted myself, which is against my rule, i was going to do my first WI next monday. opps, could not wait, i lost 2 lb so far, a bit upset about it, so i am NOT going to weight again until monday. Wishing for a good number.
How is everybody doing?

I sent my husband in to the supermarket to buy me boullion and tabasco while I waited in the car, cos I didn't want to be surrounded by the food either :giggle:it's a shame you can't do that, but then you are lucky to have your boyfriend as a slimming buddy!
