Thank you
Well I am on a down day today, been at the hospital a lot so not really had time to think about food, but this is my food today

milk for tea 100 cals
toast with salmon spread 150 cals
shep pie ready meal 217 cals

Total 467 cals

I do like your food ideas thanks for posting them up x

Well it should have been a down day today, but I got called to the hosp at 5am as my Father had deteriorated stayed at the hosp until t time as he was stable again , ended up having toast whilst there and then a pastie when I came home, just had a choc biscuit and am going to have sausage and mash for tea. I have eaten due to circumstances rather than because this diet is hard IYSWIM.
I will weigh in tomorrow but the best I can hope for is a STS as I will only have had 2 down days this week , just hope I havent gained but we will have to wait and see??

Hiya hun, you're doing well, especially under the circumstances. I know this might sound a bit weird but I really hope that your Father is as well as he can be given the situation. Good luck for the weigh in x

Sorry to hear you had such a hard day Jo. Never mind just call it an up day and keep going.

Hope things are going as well as they can be with your dad - I'm thinking of you x

My Father passed away yesterday so I probably won't be around much but I am def not giving up on Juddd its the best diet plan ever , I will be back

So sorry Jo. Take as much time as you need and we'll look forward to you posting on here again when you're ready.

Once again, I'm thinking of you at this hard time x

I second what Karen said. Whenever you're ready, we're here - and not just for diet talk! Sending love and hugs your way hun xxx

Hi hun, Just a quick post to say I'm thinking of you x

Okay girls I am back, a bit sooner than I anticipated but due to a problem with my kidneys I am unable to continue on slim and save because of the high protein content. I have to say I am sad about that as I was finding it fairly easy as vlcds go. Anyway as you know I always had 2 up days on a weekend so its not as if I have really failed , just going from one to another, havent much appetite at the moment anyway.
When I got back from the Hosp last night I couldn't sleep and was getting my head into gear for JUDDD I did some googling as a lady I met in the waiting area mentioned Phyllium Husk as a really effective aid when dieting. As I was googling I came across some very interesting articles about it and in a nut shell, its excellent for cleansing your colon, it expands so fills you up, so its a natural appetite suppressant. There is even a formula which contains no calories but all your nutrients and Physillium husk to keep you full it costs £39.99 for a week so passed on that BUT I found PH capsules in Holland and Barratt for £10.00 for 100 capsules and they are included in their penny promotion so 200 for 1p more. I am going to buy some tues (kids inset tomorrow so don't think I can get there tom) plus some muti vits and minerals, to use on Down days to see if they will help keep my cals at a bare minimum. Will let you know how I get along.
So up day today, although I have no appetite and ist down day tom, will more than likely gain this week but I am prepared for that.
Bye for now
Jo x

Nice to have you back Jo x

Thanks Karen

Morning, 1st Down day today, unfortunately I am not as prepared as I'd like as the kids have an Inset day so awkward to get into town but I have some apples and as they are neg calories I am going to have some but hopefully nothing else , apart from my milk in my tea which I am also going to limit. Going to have to try and be super good on my DD's this week to try and keep my weight gain in check, due to the nature of vlcd its very likely I am heading for a hefty gain this week but if I am really good I may be able to keep it to a minimum. Will check back later with my total cals.

Good luck for today In terms of your weight gain, im sure it will just be your body re-adjusting and it will come right off again...or you may not gain at all you never know!

I hope so xx I am going to buy some phyllium husk capsules tomorrow, I will let you know how I get on with them (they clean your colon out and add bulk so you feel full but have no cals, hoping they will help with down days.
