I've always wondered what the shakes would taste like blended with milk because they are really nice with just water so I bet they are so thick n creamy with milk, when I'm on step 2 this will be top of the to do list lol
I'm with you on the porridge, I found it very difficult to eat, taste and texture is disgusting, I didn't order any after week 1. Drink lots of water to get over the hunger feeling. Well done on day 1, your only a couple of days away from ketosis now xx

it was actually nice! I'm going to bingo tomorrow after work so will find it difficult to resist chips! I was told by my consultant that I wouldn't be in ketosis as on 810, but someone on here said if I stick to the lower carb food choices then I will be.

are you on SS+ now? I've had about 2 l of water today but will aim for more tomorrow. luckily I only bought two porridges so have one left, I will save that until Sunday as will see my consultant before then.

are you staying in your new house tonight then? xx

 

[Gemzo84]

You'll find it hard when you catch a whiff of them :O I'm doing the odd SS+ day here and there but will be going on it permanently soon I think next week.
No we don't move in for another 2 weeks, we got keys today but don't need to hand keys to the flat were currently in for 2 weeks so we'll be busy decorating and stuff before we actually move which is great rather than living in a work site.
Were you off work today? xx

Morning Gem,
Good luck with your WI tonight, seems like its taken ages to come round. Im sure the result will be worth the wait!!
Ive been off plan since last Wed because i was on antibiotics, and now im finished them but im going out friday sat and sunday so i cant justify wasting 2 days of shakes (the expence of them i mean) up until then. So i STS this week which i totally expected to put on so im quite happy. But obviously will probably put a shedload on this weekend so i will be back on monday with vengeance 100%

Cant wait to hear how you got on...and enjoy your meal out x

Weigh in tonight was a big let down only lost 3lb in the last 2 weeks of SS/SS+ without so much as a cheat of food passing my lips, I could have cried there and then. Especially with my mood being quite low this week.
Went straight out for diner afterwards which could have went completely tits up but opted for a no carb meal.
Totally deflated!! x
