Thread: On day 2

I gained a massive 7 stone in my pregnancy (and I was not thin when I started, but was at an acceptable size) and never got around to losing it due to surgery and other life issues. I have finally bitten the bullet after some failed stop/starts to dieting. I lost 2 stone years ago on CD and then lost 1/2 stone after I came off it and maintained for years. But, I have all of my old clothes and my son is now 4 years old. It is time to take the bull by the horns. I came across Slim and Save and thought it looked best with the most variety. So far, I am really pleased and the meals taste fine to me. Plus, I feel like I am eating something. I think this is something I can stick with. My first goal is to lose enough weight by September to go out for the night with my husband and not feel like a behemoth. And I will be able to get into some of my old clothes. I am very determined to shift this weight once and for all. My goal is to get rid of 175 pounds. A massive amount of weight. So, next week I will do my weigh in and here it goes. So far, weeing my brains out!!!

Good luck, I'm sure you'll do great.

I just saw you want to lose 6 stone....what an inspiration!!! How are you doing on it?

Hiya

Good luck on SnS! It really is much more bearable than the other VLCD's food wise, variety and flavours are outstanding. The only difference is that you do have to do it alone. BUT - this forum gives all the support most need, in a moment of a wobble - there's always someone on here who can help.

Good for you to be so very determined - write all your reasons done and put them on your fridge, in your bag, everywhere. Is very powerful to read them again in moments of weakness. I love s&s, I certainly wouldn't still be doing this if I hadn't found it, and using the very wonderful support on here. S&S don't have consultants just yet so minimims really is a fantastic support resource to use.

I started a shade over 5 months ago and have had Christmas and my Dad having major heart surgery in that time, and to be absolutely honest I don't feel like I've missed out on anything, and I'm still 60lb lighter than I was on 27th September 2012, it's incredibly doable
