I will wait until it is official then and someone has told me from the compny - it seems wierd that it would n't have any citric acid in it.

bendigoblue · 14/01/2007 19:28

I saw on MiniMins you can have 1 glass a day, but it can make you crave more apparently.

meb2006 · 14/01/2007 19:39

one glass? I don't think I could stop at that - possibly best not to then - a bit like how I am with food.

meb2006 · 14/01/2007 20:17

out of interest..I would like to keep my eye on another board as well - does any one do the CD website and the minimins(?) and have a preference? What is the difference between them?

Anyone in week 2 on the bars yet? I can't wait to be able to have them. Anyone have any favourites?

snowwonder · 14/01/2007 21:13

i just tend to read them and post here!! i like to read others success stories.....

i would be interested to see others favourite bars aswell

bendigoblue · 15/01/2007 10:35

I just like to read MiniMins, and Discovery H&H weightloss forums too.

My tummy just hugely rumbled! First time all 6 days thats happened! I'm feeling a bit more positive today, my friend is doing LL and she gave me a kick in the right direction last night. For all my moaning though, I haven't cheated at all!

My DS1 is poorly today, he's curled up under a duvet on the sofa bless him.

laughinglil · 15/01/2007 11:15

aww bless him bendigo!
I am so nervous today ..officially day 8 today and first time properly leaving dt's at pre-school. I feel like I am just waiting for that phone call to say one of them is really upset!
Diet going well. I lost 9lb last week, however my losses seem to be slowing down now. I have decided I cannot stomach the sachets so I am living on two tetras and a bar or two tetras and one mousse.
This diet is so much harder the second time round..I just want a nice crunchy ham roll!
I am not going to cheat, however much I want to as I know once I eat there will be no going back! arrgghh!

laughinglil · 15/01/2007 11:16

BTW I love reading minimins too!

bendigoblue · 15/01/2007 11:20

Awwww, i'm sure they'll be fine, I remember the feeling well though!

I could quite happily live on the soups I think, i've been having the shakes warm as well. Haven't tried the bars yet and I think i'm going to try and manage without them, i'm sure if I chew something that'll be it lol.

Crunchy ham roll sounds sooooooo good!

meb2006 · 15/01/2007 12:03

I think there is supposed to be a new thread each Monday? If so I will start one as maybe Mrs Poppins is busy. Can anyone confirm please.

snowwonder · 15/01/2007 12:47

if anyone is making them i will have a crunchy cheese roll- now i know why i am fat!!!!

i love the chilli soup, and have the choc and choc mint shake hot normally in the evening,

havent got my dd tonight and normmally i would have a pig out night so i have to have amazing will power tonight - i will prob save 2 shakes to have tonight and going to have a bath and face pack etc to keep me upstairs rather than down with the food!!!!!

fussymummy · 15/01/2007 13:11

Hi everyone, I had my first weigh in today and i've lost 11 lbs, in ten days.

I was really pleased with that.

I now have the bars as well as shakes.

Couldn't take any more of the soup, was making me feel sick.

meb2006 · 15/01/2007 13:16

What is chilli soup like - it's got to be better then the veg soup - yuk

fussymummy · 15/01/2007 13:19

Chilli soup is WORSE than veg soup.
Smells and tastes disgusting.

meb2006 · 15/01/2007 13:19

fussymummy that is fantastic!!!!!!!!!well done.

who wants to hear s.thg funny. Having struggled all week just got call from counsellor to say she is giving it up!! I told her I thought it was funny. So now have to find new counsellor - it is nice to know you have to report in to someone on a regular basis - I think it helps.

fussymummy · 15/01/2007 13:23

meb2006 thanks.

That's awful about your counsellor.
Where is it you live i can't remember?
Hope you can find another one soon.
Can you go and buy some of her stock cheap???

fussymummy · 15/01/2007 13:25

laughinglil how can you have 2 tetras and a bar a day?

You're only allowed to have 1 a day!!!!

Mind you those tetras were awful!!!!!

meb2006 · 15/01/2007 13:29

actually I can buy stock cheap but I thought it would be better to get another counsellor - not sure how cheap it will be but she said I could buy 4 weeks worth.

You can have as many tetras as you want - i know people that have done 21 tetras a week it is just the bars you can only have 2 a day.

snowwonder · 15/01/2007 13:38

blimey what confusion i thoight you could only have 1 bar a day

the women that lost 24 stone on this diet just have the choc tetra's the whole time,

bad news about your counseller, how cheap is the stock going for?

meb2006 · 15/01/2007 13:39

sorry I meant to say you can only have 1 bar a day

fussymummy · 15/01/2007 13:43

All counsellors seem to be giving lots of different advise!!!!

But if it works for you and you lose the weight that you want to lose, then that's what really matters.

meb2006 · 15/01/2007 13:51

have you been told different then? Look at the booklets produced by CD that you will have been given. I am sure it says that - all the tetras are is the drink made up for convenience it has n't got anything different in it.

or does someone know different?

did you try the veg savoury drink today?

bendigoblue · 15/01/2007 13:55

I haven't tried the tetras, what are they like?

I love all the soups, especially the spicy tomato and the oriental chilli! Don't mind the toffee walnut shake, but can take or leave the others really.

Thats a shame about your counsellor Meb, can she recommend anyone else to you?

fussymummy · 15/01/2007 13:57

I liked the buillion veg drink

snowwonder · 15/01/2007 14:08

I have bought the cheap super market version of the savory drink,

the tetras are just a ready made milkshake
