Bit the bullet...4 weeks S&S ordered

Decided on trying S&S over Exante. Last time I did exante they didn't even do porridge, so the amount of choice on S&S was quite a treat! Hoping they taste a bit better than exante, but even if they don't- I still need to do this 100%

No days off
No sneaky 'treats'
Just 100% commitment to being a healthy BMI. Don't want type 2 diabetes knocking on my door but do want a pair of diesel skinny jeans.

Wish me luck!!
 
Thanks, maybe we can buddy up.... I have 8 stone to lose to get me to a healthy BMI eekkkk

I should be 120-140 pounds

I'm nearly 259, double eekkk

That's a whopping 119 pounds to shift.

Hence the need to start on a VLCD to make a dent on the pounds, then hopefully move to a conventional diet & exercise plan.

In all honesty, I don't think I'll ever be the 120-140 range that I 'should' be.... Think I was born at that!!! But I'm gonna aim big!! (Or should that be small?!?!)
 
You sound very similar weight wise to me. I did Exante but couldn't stick it for long, the packs weren't nice! Good luck on Slim and Save, you can do this!
 
Thanks for the encouragement. I NEED to lose the weight. It's not just about the way I look and feel (look awful & feel equally awful!) it's about being healthy for my kids. Want to be able to run around in the park playing rounders and mucking about instead of moaning about aches and pains.

Good luck with your chosen diet plan too!
 
Slim and save are sp much nicer- like actual milk shakes, I love them, they feel like a real treat. Good luck on your weight loss, just think one lb at a time. Take care of the pounds and the stones take care of themselves!
 
Me too! I have just ordered 140 items and have 6-8 stone to loose to be"healthy" BMI wise!!!

Doyou have a diary or will you be updating this post ? Good luck! Xxx
 
Good luck!
I've done a few weeks of Exante a whole ago. Hated the packs!
S&S have the best choice of yummy packs so I shall be sticking with them too.
Day 1 for me

Looks like there are a few of us with similar goals and starting points!

I've not got a diary, but I might start one... Might need it (and the support) to keep me sane on the journey.

Parcel due to be delivered tomorrow.... Glad to hear that people find S&S nicer than Exante.. Makes me feel more enthusiastic about trying the packs :)
 
Definitely start a diary, I'll come subscribe :) My packs arrive tomorrow too.
 
Hi I'm starting the packs on Thursday! They came today! I'm scared and excited! Hope everyone does well! I'm hoping to loose weight and achieve my goal in 2014! Good luck everyone! Angie xx

Good luck! I ordered 140 packs on Christmas Eve which arrived today. Going to start on the 1st or 2nd. I need to lost about 7 stones to be at my optimum BMI, but my goal is a BMI of 30 by my birthday in July, and anything else is a complete bonus!!!
I look forward to cheering you on! :)
 
Hi clairecat yeh you too! How are you feeling about starting? Have you ever done this before? Iv lost 17lb from last January with weight watchers, I have an under active thyroid, so loosing weight is very hard from me!! Xxx

I will start a diary soon then.

I started today - 18 st 3.5 lb

I only managed 2 packs as I was at work by the time parcel was delivered. I had curry and a choc bar. Both actually nicer than I expected. Definitely nicer than exante was.

So, day 1 done.

So far so good. Hope everyone else is doing good. X
 
I'm quite optimistic about it. I need to be, I have a mission!
I did do Cambridge/slim and save before for about 2/3 months and I lost over 2 stones, but I got real bad constipation (i mention it on my diary post - I wont taint this one by going into more detail! lol!) and gave up. I subsequently have put on twice as much since I stopped the diet.

Annoyed with myself, but I have no-one to blame but myself - no-one shoved the take-away's down my throat!

I have pcos, so i also find losing weight to be an uphill struggle, and I'm also going to start on Thursday! We could race?! lol!

Oooh, I'm about the same starting weight as you! I will definitely be keeping an eye on your progress! :)
Glad day one was good! I find the packs much more pallet-able than Cambridge. I did look at the Exante stuff, but they didn't sound that great either.
 
Hey im starting Thursday and have similar amount of weight to lose too. Good luck on your journey all new starters xxxx
 
I'm looking forward to reading all our posts!! It's good that we are new starters, lots of us in the same boat! I don't go back to work till Tuesday but wanted to get the first 5 days over with ( headaches and tiredness) whilst I'm at home!! I also suffer with migraines so I know from Thursday that's not gonna be good!! Iv got another 2 stone at least to loose but it's taken me a year to loose 17lb, so not as much as some of you ladies but over 3 stone feels like a massive mountain for me to climb! I love food, but need to stay focused! Iv done Lighterlife total before and did very well for me on it, but I kept cheating and I know that coming out of ketosis makes you feel crap! If I can resist nibbling on food then I know I have a chance!

Is anyone having a last supper lol ? Xxx
