I have been stalled for a year, and now actually put on 7lbs. In a month! This is unbelievably ****. Fill after fill, no leaks but sporadic restriction. oh god why have I spent thousands on this??

Do you mean through the skin? As in, completely through it into the atmosphere?

I cant get my GP to refer me, Ive had gastritis and abdo pain for some 15 months, as well as gall stones etc

lmao! Crazy to think it's being served in drinks and has been for years! I use this stuff in the lab, and I wear full PPE.

When I am thirsty, I drink. When I am not thirsty, I don't drink. My body knows how to regulate itself. I cant do this so called drinking gallons of water per day just because. Apart from anything else, my job wont allow it.

I dont think the kidneys know or care what temp the fluid intake is :0 Maybe you're just drinking more?

I have been once a week for some 20+ years, I am fine, and my diet is fine. I cant carry a water bottle and drink a lot in the day - I work in a medical pathology lab, no food and drink allowed in there. I drink on my breaks. Im not contacting any doctors! I dont need to. And if I need one, I have about 30 at work in my…

I'm rather envious of those of you who poo every day. I'm a once a week girl, always have been. That, for me, seems to be normal.

Hilarious stuff and bitter in equal parts Well sorry all, but my OH has bought tampons - twice now - once when I'd had stomach surgery and once when I had a miscarriage (it's a part of loking after each other surely?), changed ****ty nappies, makes me lunch and tea before I go to work, I come in from a night out with…

The decision is yours and yours alone whatever you decide is right for you at this time. I will say, I am a lap bander and when I had my op it was unknown that I was about 7 or 8 weeks pregnant. We had a very healthy and beautiful son, who is nearly 2 now, and so I restarted my weight loss after I finished breast feeding…

I havent been uber logging my net carbs, I have been more approximating them, but mentally I think I am staying close to 20. Have lost 8lbs in a week 1 of phase 1 so something is working.

Sadly you can, I am really struggling to get above 1000 cals net per day, I am so full and sated from all the stuff I eat in the day that I cannot ram anymore in. I would be truly forcing it down. Just noticed your loss, incredible, well done x

Sounds good to me. Today I tried a scoop of chocolate whey protein powder and 150 of vanilla soya milk. It was delish! Not sure how many net carbs it was though, I think about 5

Thanks folks. Today I bought some sugar free gum and a mini travel bottle of breath freshener, I'm going to hide them in my lab coat pocket!! Went to dinner last night, I had chicken in bacon, veggies, mayo, sauce, and Blossom Hill white wine (as a low carb site said it was carb free), though I did have a couple of…

Oh yeah, how long will I have breath like horse****?? I can barely speak to my patients and colleagues, and husband!

OMG I am full of energy!! Done 6 days in phase 1 now, all going well, I still have a drop of semi skimmed with my tea though, but thats it. Dropped 5lbs so far, not sure how much of that, if any, is fat. But my jeans feel slightly looser, and my lab coat feels loose too (Im a lab scientist) Have sorted the headaches by…

Crikey thats me buggered on day 1 then! I had 2 of the bars today and a shake, all the packaging said they were suitable for phase 1.:(

Really??? I have two work out classes booked for this week and I have just started phase 1. hmm

Im currently reading into this and after 2 weeks (if you do the inductiopn phase, you dont have to) you cna start to include more fruit etc. And someone day you can never have pasta again, that isnt quite true - the atkins range of food does actually include a pasta. Im going to try it - I live on carbs and I dont take in…

I was awarded Chartered Biologist status a couple of weeks ago :) Im well happy

I really enjoy zumba but I cannot seem to find a class that gives me a hard work out. They all seem so pedestrian. I barely break out into a sweat, and I bounce out of there feeling deflated. I want to pushed hard and I want feel have worked out. I signed up to boot camp, thought Id give that a go

Haven't lost for 7 months :(

I have kept my mouth shut about my surgery at work. I work with all women,. And they like to chatter and gossip! I dont want them watching everything I put in my mouth, and questioning everytime I eat something. sod that

Crikey what country is that in? So glad I'm in the UK, we may be backwards in a lot of things but our health care is free! thank god!
