I'm going to start Slim and Save tomorrow. The box of what look very much like Army Rations arrived on Friday and I'm excited to get started. I'm pretty terrified I'm going to be starving and going to cheat and ultimately fail miserably. I have 94lbs to loose, but I'm more interested in inch loss than actual weight loss numbers. I seem to be in minority here and I hope you ladies don't mind that I'm tagging along for the ride!!

Hello and welcome - and I really don't think you are in that much of a minority, it's just that the guys can't get much of a word in with all us girls going on and on...
Honestly and truthfully - you won't be hungry. You might feel hungry but it won't be your body telling you that, it'll be your head. If you can work through that and perhaps consider looking at how you can tackle that head hunger in future, you'll have every success in losing and keeping it off. And for the moments when it all seems a bit tough - that's when the support on here is second to none, it really does help
Pondering the future... how to get fitter... how to maintain... how to be a size 12 forever...

Hi :-) I'm restarting again... I want to lose 100lbs (plus more) so ill be here for a while this time! Did 4 months last year and lost 60lbs, came back in jan but never really got into it properly so stopped but now I'm back and hoping to be slimmer for summer this year :-) good luck x
IF YOUR EVER FEELING SHORT OF MOTIVATION, TAKE OFF ALL YOUR CLOTHES AND JUMP UP AND DOWN IN A FULL LENGHT MIRROR. IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE THEN GREAT, IF NOT YOU BETTER GET ON WITH IT!!
I am in exactly the same boat as you cheekychick81!!. re starting tommorrow. started in January and didnt last long, dabbled with slimming world and arrived back at binge eating on pasta and potatoes and then spiraled off onto choc, cake etc etc. re-starting tommorrow so upwards and downwards. good luck to us!! xxOriginally Posted by cheekychick81
Welcome Paul! You can lose that 94lb. I lost well over that on the diet (well, a combination of SnS and LL) and I never really believed I would do it at the start. Now I am about a stone higher than I want to be (having reached goal last June) and much fitter having started exercise after reaching goal. I'm really enjoying my new healthier lifestyle and am slowly taking off the extra stone. Once you're in ketosis your appetite is supressed and that really helps.
Good luck!
Reached goal of 130 lbs to lose.
On maintenance I'm a little higher than I would like to be...
Good luck Paul,I'm starting on Thursday so we will be in the same boat!
Good luck Paul, there are a couple of guys around here and probably a few more lurking who don't post! Maybe your post will bring them all out of the wood works

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off of the goal.
We would accomplish more things if we did not think of them as impossible.
Lost just under 3 stone on various diets in 2011-2012.
Restarting Slim and Save Jan 2013 to lose the rest!
Hi Paul, best of luck today!

Thanks guys! So it's day two. OMG I've never wee-ed so much in my life! I have to tell you I was STARVING yesterday and I'm quite hungry today. I was really surprised by how nice the taste of the meals were though! Good luck to all you guys who started yesterday as well. How do you feel?
