Thanks in advance guys x reli lookin fwd to some success stories x

Hey there! I'm doing the UltraSlim too and have been for 4 weeks now. I've lost 11.5lbs so far and hope to reach the 14lb mark by Christmas. Like you I also considered a VLCD but didn't think I could handle not eating at all This way I get the best of both worlds and still get to eat with my hubby and 2 young daughters.

Just taking it one day at a time helps and drinking loads of water! Keep sight of your goals and keep being honest with yourself.

If you want to 'buddy up' then I'm here most days but haven't posted much (need a few buddy's to chat with!)

Oh, and I've just notice you're in Herts. Me too! (East Herts)

Got the request xx

Hi Ladies, just wondered if I could join you on MFP too, I am trying to re-shift weight I've lost before. I am hoping just under 5 stone before our holiday in August. I know I've done it before, so I definitely can again! x

I've swapped over to Slim and Save but feel free to add me on MFP if you want. Same name without the L in wobbly :-/

Good luck x how are you finding it?

Thanks hun Happy New Year!
It's going ok really (I think!). It's just getting back into the mindset of a diet. I've eaten what ever I wanted from 23rd to 31st Dec so I'd put nearly 4lbs back on. I decided that I'd just try and blitz the weight in the shortest possible time and then concentrate on maintenance, I'm soooo impatient!
After the ultra slim shakes though which are so thick and creamy the slim and save are taking a bit of getting used to! I've not managed one without warming it and adding coffee whereas I looked forward to my shakes before :-( But the meals are ok so far. It's all low carb too so I'm missing pasta/potatoes/rice/bread
No-one ever said it would be easy though eh?

How are you getting on?
