Thank you ú. sweethart'. . love the name we have been getting our 'stash'from the dietician but will get some from the website you listed.
This year I am looking to have my elbow replaed - was badly broken and have had two operations in the past to remove 'loose bodies'so also wanting to lose the extra weight before than happens as I do not handle anaesthetic very well at all. **Best of wishes to everyone doing Optifast. Long may we continue to lose the weight and if you finds it - do not give it back to me**Time for another glass of water. I use a 450ml glass - much easier that way - instead of having 10 x glasses only have 6 =)

Silverwolf Thanks for that. it helps understand and I am pleased that people work with the dietician or other health professional and that one is then guided back onto a normal healthy diet. The first time I saw it was when I in a waiting room with others who were seeing someone about their diabetes, so had guessed it was approved by the powers that be. (I was seeing a different health professional)and it was after that that I looked at it but decided it was not for me. I wish everyone well in their efforts and hope that when the weight/fat gets lost that no one finds it again.

cont I do quite a bit of walking which helps me as well as swimming. I have joined this site www.10000steps.com. au and find it really great and motivational to keep up the steps and see the improvement and join the challenges.

Thank you so much for your kind words. It is hard work, but I am getting there. Some weeks feel a lot slower than others, but like all good things it takes time

well, I have hovered around the same weight for a few weeks - plateau I would say, so we went out for lunch yesterday in the hope that by then getting back into it that it will "trick" my body somewhat to get back into losing again.

How long has everyone else been doing it and how much weight have you lost? I was sooo hungry today, ended up having a piece of Vogels toast with sardines as thats what my partner was having for lunch. Think I might do the 2cups of veges tonight in some curry spices.

I made vege soup tonight out of the 2 cups of veg - onion, courgette, brocolli, cauli, & spinach, with a chicken stock cube water salt & pepper. It was really nice:)

Whiskey. . sounds yummy Have been very good today - had the 3 x shakes plus 2 x cups raw veges -- tonight went for a 7km walk - we took my husband's parents on the walk with us. They haven't seen us in nearly 4 weeks and they were surprised to see how much we have lost so far.

I have been doing optifast since last august. Husband has been doing it since last week. I decided to join him in the intensive phase as I had put on more than 3 kilos over the christmas break. He lost 5. 3 kilos and I lost 3. 3 almost all of what I had put on! ! ! I have found the last week so much easier to do than when I tried in August. I have had 8 solid days of optifast and when I did it originally I didn't get past the 3 day without having something not on the plan! ! ! I am so proud of us both. Its not easy but it is much easier with both of us working together. Kids have missed out on takeaways for 2 weeks now! ! ! and are starting to rebel lol but oh dear healthy stuff is in the house to stay! ! ! They'll come around when they see I am serious. I make the weight watchers zero point soup and fill it up withfree veges its really yummy and I leave the vege chunky. We do stir fries and had coleslaw one night with tomato and beetroot and heaps of other salad type veges. I make a roast vege salad which is really delicious and instead of using the oil dressing that I normally would use I use WW balsamic dressing or Eta Lite and Low ? balsamic dressing. Tomorrow I was thinking maybe trying to make a layered vegetable bake type dish. I just want heaps of variety so am open to any recipes any of you may have.
Goodluck ladies and guys and hang on in there we can do this.
