Hi Josie,

I'm starting today too, and I also need a diet buddy. I think it will be a lot easier with some support and motivation

I'm not in England but am in Germany, so only 1 hour off your time zone!

I was too tired to make some soup last night so it's on the stove now...

Hey,

Glad to hear it's going well! I also have been eating melon and drinking green tea all day Also had some soup but it tasted terrible so I added tons more spices and hopefully it will be better next time!

If I can make it through tonight (usually get cravings around now!) then I know I'll be okay for the next few days

Hi ,

Good to hear we are all doing well , i had my soup, lots of chilli powder and it tasted very good, miss potatoes though .  Tomorrow should be okay but i will find it hard not eating fruit , raw carrots i suppose and lots of brocoli, looking forward to my baked potato, cheated a little and had one single brandy, but i had to toast my mums birthday, even though i wont be toasting mine on Thursday , see you both tomorrow , sleep well .

Good afternoon everyone! Or morning, whereever you are

Yesterday went pretty well - I love fruit, so not much trouble. Today has been a bit harder - veggies or soup for breakfast, what choice!

Feeling a bit light-headed today, anyone else experiencing that? I took a multi-vitamin yesterday, but I suppose with no protein, it's bound to happen.

Hi there guys,
Just been reading your posts and I have not had any "wind" issues - am I doing something wrong maybe???  Had tomatoes (3) and carrot for breakfast and for lunch HUGE bowl of soup and lovely salad, mixed lettuce, tomato, olives, cucumber and added a tomato salsa for dressing and low fat mayo (dont think you're supposed to but, what the heck needed SOME flavour).  I had 5 pints of water yesterday and am on my 4th now but had to cheat with coffee, had 2 yesterday and 1 today (caffeine addict).  We are not supposed to have tea/coffee right??

Are any of you guys excercising?  I did a 30 min workout yesterday and this morning coz I am so determined for this to work I am so fed up with my clothes not fitting any more!

Hiya,

My potato was heaven! It was so nice to be full up with something other than broccoli

How's everyone doing today? Just had some soup followed by lovely melon for lunch; I made the soup with curry and found it tasted a lot better.

Any results on weight loss yet? I promised myself not to get on the scale until tomorrow but I'm very curious!

Good luck on day 3 everyone!

Hello everyone,

Well day 4 is off to a promising start. Made a yummy banana/soy milk shake with a drop of vanilla and that was surprisingly filling!

Yesterday I had a bit of a slip - I was feeling very light-headed and had a huge headache so I helped myself to a bit of peanut butter (my body doesn't deal well with no protein!).

Stepped on the scale this morning...I was so afraid to look down because I thought I had spoiled it with the peanut butter, but so far I have lost 2.1 kilos. I'm thrilled!

So that's definitely some motivation to keep going. Sorry to hear about the meal on Sunday, Josie, but I think in 6 days you will see some weight shifted for sure.

Anyway, enjoy your bananas everyone!

Hi guys

I had about 5 bananas already I am so sick of them!!!    Ali your milk shake sounds so nice, I will go and make one now for my lunch.

Emerald, I give up on this diet sometimes too but I find that joining this forum helps as you know that there are others going through the same things you are and it gives me the motivation to go on.  Join us or if you havent started yet, i will be doing it again next week and you can be my diet buddy too.

Oh by the way, well done Ali 2.1 kgs you are soooooo lucky, I am just too afraid to get on the scales I will do it on Monday morning.

Hi All ,

Ali well done, 2,1K is fantastic! Sadly i thought i would weigh myself to check all was going good and have put on 1 kilo, my stomache is so bloated i cant wear my jeans and i havent been to the loo since monday . All i can think is a) i am due on in a few days so it may be pre-menstrual weight or b) due to not using my bowels regular i have filled up or c) it just doesnt work for me . I am currecntly 132lbs and five foot 4, i hoped to get down to 128, but after weighing myself and seeing i had gained i ate a bowl of muesli and skimmed milk and had a cry, i am starting back on it tomorrow, but am quite deflated, my hubby says i have not lost anything because my body is at its correct weight, but i think that is not true, i always believe you can lose more?

Anyway sorry to deflate the mood, congrats to Ali and everyone else who has done well
