any hints and tips are greatly appreciated!xx

Good luck

Thank you!!xx

Good luck I'm starting again tomorrow :-)

Good Luck, I'm a newbie to S&S too (on week 2) but I have lost 2st in the past on another VLCD but it's amazing how much you forget.

The girls on here are fantastic and have really helped me since I started

Hello I started yesterday to! How are you getting on? I have a diary on here come and join and we can buddy up

Good luck - come on this site if you are ever struggling - everybody is very inspirational !!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome, and good luck. x

Well I've started S&S today as was so busy all weekend, and, everything always starts on a Monday doesnt it!
Any way, so far I've had a dark truffa bar which was delightful and the oatmeal porriage which was rank! The smell was alwful and the taste even worse, I most definately will not be having that again.
I'm not gonna lie, I am really hungry and so tempted to tuck into the biscuits but I know (hopefully) after a few days it will get easier.
I have ordered two weeks supply but stupidly did not order any of the meals which I am regretting as they seem to have pretty good reviews on here. Going to have a strawberry shake tonight.

If you don't like the oatmeal then it would be worth trying the sweet porridge (people tend to love one and hate the other - persnally I love the oatmeal!). It certainly will get easier after a few days. Remember that you can have a small protein meal if you need to instrad of a pack so no need to live on shakes and oatmeal alone until you get your next order with some meals in.

Thank you Hun I will try the sweet one next time then.
I think it's a god send you have the choice of some protein.gonna try to stick to 4 sachets if I can but it's good knowing that if you really want a 'meal' that the option is there.thank goodness!x

Just had hazelnut shake-tastes amazing!

Glad you're enjoyong some of the packs! I totally understand wanting to stick to 4 packs - that's what I did for the frst 6 months and it really helped me as it was as close as I could get to giving up food. Perhaps you could put our next order in a little sooner than planned and get some of the meals?! Personally I love the spicy spaghetti and chilli con carne - but you might not want to take advice from someone who loves the oatmeal...

I'm another oatmeal lover. If you've got some left, try making it up with a bit more water, it's an entirely different experience! As for the meals, there isn't a single one I don't like, and I'm normally quite fussy. I even liked the mushroom pasta one I got in the sample pack, and I'm not a mushroom lover at all. Cottage pie with some extra herbs and spices in is just devine.

And the wafers.... oooh the wafers are amazing!
