You're doing great Wales! Have an extra shake if you need it. That's what I did my first week on SS (maybe even the first 2 weeks) and it stopped me giving up. 3 shakes doesn't seem much before you are firmly into ketosis, but just that one extra shake seems to make all the difference!

Thanks all. Went out for a little window shopping and trying on. TK Maxx found a lovely spangly cardi 10% of original hideously expensive price, but it was too big. Tried on some jeggings (like wtf) in Next that were too small. Then found a grey and pink long t-shirt top and a pink jersey dress in the M&S discount store sale - both a fiver each. Both size 14 and both need some concentration on CD to fit better. So over two days, bargain sales shopping cost £17 from an original cost of £65 - am pleased as not spent any money for over 2 months now.
Had a soup when I got back from shopping as I was starving. Just had a lovely hot bubble bath, settled on the sofa and once OH rugby match has finished on tv will catch up on some Sat night programmes recorded last night.
Alli - I think I will more than likely have at least half an extra shake today. Like you say better than giving in.
Bess - our family runs on lemsips, you don't have to be poorly for them to you make you feel better.
Thank you all for your encouragement and words of support - it really does help knowing that people are pulling for you.

Morning all, blimey 13.1 this morning. Reassuring to see this diet still works for me.
Yesterday was hungry, so had 3 shakes and a soup. Not too hungry this morning so fingers crossed I will last until lunch for my tetra, and then get through the rest of the day. Busy day at work so hope distraction will get me through!
Have a great day y'all x

Thanks all, feel much better today than yesterday. Just had tetra from lunch and made it last by having big cup of peppermint tea. Busy day is actually not so busy now which is good. Lots of changes going on at work so good to have time to catch up with people who I won't be working with going forward.
I am meeting friends tomorrow might, been arranged for ages and at my suggestion is at a Thai place. I might see if there is a clear soup option, or steamed veg and some chicken. I very rarely go out after work and haven't caught up with this group for a while,so postponing isn't an option. Should plan better!!!
Hope everyone is having a good day, thanks for all your positive comments, making this so much easier!!!

Hi Wales,
You're doing so well hun. Inspiring me to give it another shot. Doing ss for a few days again to kick things in the right direction. Forget how cold you get......bbrrrrr!
Enjoy the night out, it is a a pain when things crop up that could throw you off plan a bit, but i'm sure if you make sensible choices you'll be fine. xx

I am cold too, my fingers and nose are perishing!
Had a soup as soon as I got in from work about 5 and just had my choc shake.
Headache has kicked in this evening, so have taken a couple of tablets.
Placed my order for next week and have ordered a few bars which I am going to chop up in the fridge to have with coffee if I need them.
Am tired this evening so won't be a late night, think an extra layer on top of my pjs tonight is bed as the house is frrrrreeeeezzzzzzing!

My typing on my iPhone is getting better so can catch up a little at work over lunch as I have nothing else to do - haha
going ok today, had tetra and big drink of peppermint tea. Totm on it's way and suprisingly my mood is fine just backache, which is different. My autospell wants to write totm as titmouse - which with all recent rodent chat on other pages made me chuckle!
Here's to a busy and strong afternoon for us all xxx

Especially when it says the word out loud! Must remember only incorrectly type rude words with the sound off!!!
So here I am sat in one of the nicest Thai restaurants in Leeds, waiting for some pals to turn up wishing it hadn't been me that suggested Thai - I lurrrrve it and haven't had one for yonks, maybe two years. Sigh - going to have steamed veg and plain chicken if they have it. Will have to just soak up the smells (ooh coconut rice, sticky jasmine rice)
sorry will pull self together. Will be restrained, and will feel fab about it in the morning...
Edited to say didn't sit at the bar due to bowls of delicious looking ans smelling Thai crackers.... But they are winking at me to get my attention but I am going IGNORE them!

Good girl Wales... step away from the crackers! And that yummy rice will still be there once you are at goal. I wish I could do what you do and think ahead to how I will feel in the morning! Well, I am trying... my iphone doesn't TALK, or if it does I have never heard it - eek! I am still working it all out. Please don't tell me it talks!!!
Have a fab time honey.

Am afraid it does talk, duuno how it does, OH probably downloaded an app to do that - I don't get involved in that side.
Had lovely evening, had some chicken skewers with sauce removed and then some chicken on a sizzle plate with a few veggies with some blackbean sauce. No rice or noodles no crackers, just loads of chicken! I know I ate too much chicken, probably should've stopped earlier than I did. But it was very tasty. And I will drink lots of water over the next couple of days as even though limited sauce there will be plenty of salt in what I had. There was a very slight waver towards having a cappucino afterwards, but went for a black coffee and put the chocolate in my bag to give to OH this evening. Home now, feet up, chicken far behind me!

13.1 again this morning, just! You are correct Bess I will se the 12s soon, please please please!!!
Had a lie in this morning to 7.30 which was just delightful.
Am biting my nails resisting my tetra until lunchtime. Roll on next week as I have ordered some bars to split up during the day. Water and peppermint tea are my friends today, but just not taking the edge off.
Hope y'all are have a real lovely day now x

Know ow you feel hun. I've just caved in and had my peanut bar. 1st CD product of day and i tend to save the soup and another bar till nighttime now, when i struggle most. Is it that you feel hunger, or is it just a mindset of, 'i eat at 12 o'clock'. I did wonder if it would be wise to stick to meal times rigidly, don't want to eat just cause its routine, but because its what my body wants/needs... haven't quite learned that one yet though....it still wants the box of Roses my OH opened the other day.....damn him for introducing temptation! xx
