Thanks Chicken,
i am going to have a more serious bash at this , as I love all those kind of things.
Is there any food that you use as a "fill up " when your hungry?
I have made the muffins and the "muslie bars" from the book and although the muffins do resemble dog poos!! (nadines observation!!) they taste really good and are quite filling if you have them with a decaffe or a friut tea!!.

Hi Lavender

One of the great things about this diet is that my appetite has changed considerably - I rarely get 'really hungry' these days!

I would certainly advise on filling up your plate at meal times with vegetables! Always having a 'dessert' of fruit or yoghurt with each meal and having fruit/yoghurt on standby for snacks - which are very much encouraged...

I tried the muslie bars too and wasn't that impressed with them. If you follow the diet you'll find that your hunger and cravings change...

HI curvy chick!!,

Was wondering if you had tried the VLCDs before or what kind of diets you had tried before?
As a girl who has tried them all and lost 4st ,14yrs ago with WW, stuggled with slimming world, gained 7lbs in 2 weeks with atkins!!!(not a great fan of meat and lived on cheese and cream????!!!!????) and then sucessfully lost 5 st with LL, i am looking to lose another stone and really want to do it with food, so if i get my act together and stop playing at it, i could have it off (ooer!!) before christmas???

I am going to give today a good go and take each day at a time, will report back and let you know how i get on.!!
Going to have porridge for breakfast, mmmm love it!!

Hi Mini

Thanks for your lovely message - really looking forward to some warmer weather and my much needed holiday (I work in a university and the last two weeks have been manic!!!!!).

Hi Lavender

Hope you do manage to have it off by xmas goodluck and stick to it - hopefully you should have some good results!

As for other diets... In the past I mainly tried to the senisble thing and lose weight through exercise and eating healthly... I've had some success but not as much as with this diet.

As I am naturally shy WW and SW seemed a bit too social for me. Their internet plans seemed too expensive and in all honesty weighing things, counting points and different coloured days seemed a bit much for my brain...

As for VLCDs - I did seriously consider these last year, but my boyfriend and close friends were against me doing this. And at the time I didn't know enough about them to defend them. I was looking for a quick fix and quite low at the time - in all honesty I doubt that I could have stuck with it...

This time its different. A couple of months ago my doctor made me feel like crap and ever since then something has changed in me - it was like the final straw.

I am perfectly okay with the weight coming off slowly - I can be at my target by the end of April and that doesn't seem such a horrendous amount of time to spend dieting. And because my energy levels are so much better than what they were - I want to keep this up!

Well I luckily managed to get through my holiday and not gain any weight - phew!

Anyway have now lost another two pounds, not sure if thats over two weeks or just this week because last week was the TOTM and that always screws up my weigh loss...

Looking forward as I head to the 12's - especially once I go beyond 12.7 as that is the lightest I ever was in the rare occasions in the past when I dared to weigh myself.

Quite proud now that I can weigh myself every week without fear or shame and openly discuss my weight with my friends. Feel as though I have turned a corner and made some real progress.

So glad I have minimins - this place has made such a difference. I love listening to all you guys!
