Thread: Slim for summer

On Thursday I started my Slim and Save Journey. I'm no stranger to the vlcd having done LL before and losing 7st (which I never kept off). My starting weight was 20st 2 and at 5ft 9 that puts me in the morbidly obese range. I have a lot of weight to lose and would like to get down to the low 12s or high 11's. I've got a long way to go and just hope I manage again. I have to say I do like S&S food packs much better than the LL ones so not having to force them down is certainly helping

Good luck Emma, and yes the tastiness and variety in the S&S range certainly keeps things interesting!

I'm really looking forward to my first weigh in tomorrow. I've been really good and not peeked yet. I'm usually on and off the scales 2-3 times a day but this time I'm trying to just do it once a week. I ordered myself some ketostix from amazon so they should be here in a couple of days . I'm positive I'm in ketosis but doesn't hurt to keep a check x

Thanks Shivie, good luck with your journey too :-)

Good idea to just keep to the weekly weigh-ins, the surprise element when you see a bigger loss
than expected is always worth the wait! x
I'm on Day 4 today so the dreaded first three days are over and done with so it's plain sailing from here (hopefully!)

Looking forward to hearing your first weigh-in result hun! Best of luck, am sure you'll be delighted with progress! x

Hello welcome

How r u doing so far? Best of luck to you.

I started at 20st and want to get to 12st (am 5ft 9 also)

Yay I lost 10lbs on my first week, happy with that :-). Would be really good if you could lose that every week haha x

Hi I'm getting on alright, glad I've got week one out of the way. How long have you been doing it? 12st is about what I want to get to too. x

Well done on the loss!! I need to hide my scales, I jump on them every time I go in the kitchen!!
How are you finding it all now the first week is over? I'm on day 3... Xx

Hi Hun

I dipped in and out last year as had some personal stuff going on (break up and house move) but managed to loose a couple of stone.

I restarted (at 18st 6) on 1st jan and lost 11lbs so far
