Hi, I've done vlcd's before & ended up feeling energy less & miserable so was just wondering how others felt while doing this? Am thinking of starting again as only diet that seems to work but worried about how it'll make me feel. Not sure if it was because before when I did it I was very fit &...

Wow! That's some amazing results! U've helped me make up my mind and I'm going to give the diet another go as that inch loss is brilliant, u must be over the moon! X

Like it as a drink, find it fills me up but wasn't sure if it's ok. Thanks xx

Thanks, all of those sound like amazing loses & so much higher then on any other diet. Kind of trying to think that although this diet is really hard it's not forever. I've got about 3 weeks of products so hoping to lose nearly a stone in that time, don't know if that's abit optimistic! Then...

Hi, I know everyone's different but just wondered how much people have been losing a week. I'm trying to motivate myself to start again as find it so hard, started last thus and I'm afraid to say I only lasted till dinner time? I'm 5ft 6 & want to lose at least 3st. Xx

Just looking at starting SlimFast after trying to follow Cambridge but failing, hoping this will fit into my lifestyle better but was just wondering how much you can expect to lose a week? I really have at least 3 stone to lose but to be honest would be happy with half of that. X

Very good advice. One of my problems is I'm dreading feeling so yuck for the first few days so have started to cut back yest then on it properly after the w'end. X

AHHHH was planning on starting Mon but for some stupid reason I keep finding excuses, I so so want to do this but find it so hard & I keep self sabotaging, I just don't understand myself as really want this! Feel really stupid & a failure! Sorry to be negative, hope everyone else is doing...

Really really need to do this this time so have brought 28 days worth of packs, hoping cause I've spent so much I'll have to stay with it. Know it works as have already lost 1st on it but came off for a wedding & keep trying but not got back on it properly, normally manage a couple of days &...

Thanks for ur help guys, been ill this week so must admit have not got back on it 100% but have still managed to lose 4 of the lbs I gained so panic over I now know it was not real weight gain. Will b back on plan 100% v soon. Xx

I really want to get to the point where I eat if I'm hungry & workout because I enjoy it, so fed up of everything being about THE WEIGHT!!! Xx

After sticking to plan over the last couple of wks(about my hundredth time of starting that is!) & losing 7lb, I then had a house full if guests at the w'end & a birthday party so stupidly decided to take a couple of days off & have gained back 6lbs, am really worried now that if I do manage to...

Hiya, I'm like u have tried literally every diet going & never really got any where but have managed a stone so far on this, which is the best I have EVER done, lol! I love the fact u really don't have to think about food or squeezing in millions of trips to the gym, u just have ur packs. Saying...

Wld a hot chocolate made with one of ur packs cut it? I find it comforting, not quite carbs but helps me, that & about 50 litres of warm tea or coffee, lol! U can do it, U'll b pleased tom that u did! Xx

How u finding today? I'm really really struggling not to eat, lol! W'ends r the hardest! How much have u got to lose? X

I've always found w'ends so hard on whichever diet I've done, really want to stick with it & have a fab week one loss like everyone else but is so so hard!!! X

Lol will have to look that pose up!! But hopefully none of us will need it v v soon. X

So far so gd, know its only midday though! X

I switched from Cambridge to SnS & I love the extra variety & the meals r fab, I also find the shakes r easier to mix. Am happy so far, as for weight loss I'm not sure as haven't been doing SnS long enough to compare but looking on here think its the same. Good luck. X

Thanks for ur encouragement guys & well done Cheekychick ur loses r amazing! Unfortunately I haven't done v well, having only managed to stick to it 50% of the time, mainly down to the fact that one I've missed food too much & two I've had a few afternoons that have involved food & I haven't...

I'm really really looking forward to all of the above & also not having to worry about my double(triple!) chins in photos along with saying goodbye to my spare tyres, lol! X

Know this has probably been done before but thought it would be nice to have a list of things that'll be fab when we lose weight, am hoping we can use it to look back on for motivation. I am looking forward to.. -My clothes not leaving a horrible red line around my middle. -Feeling...

So I am back on it tomorrow, have been on & off since April but found it really hard to stick with which is crazy as apart from a v bad headache on day 1 I found it an easy diet to do & love not having to plan meals or count calories etc think I just miss food too much but really want to shift...

Hi guys, I'm starting tom so am I too late to join in the challenge? Really need help to stay motivated as really want to succeed this time. Xx

Thanks that makes sense & makes me feel better about it, really want to get on with it now was worried I'd have to leave it till things calm down but think I'll get on with it from Sunday then, wish me luck! X

I gave this diet ago but gave up as had so many days out etc that I knew wld involve food & make it v hard to follow. I'm eager to get back on it & start to get some g8 loses like everyone else but have serval things coming up in the nxt month & wondered if people have followed this & took odd...

I totally agree I find it so much easier to just take food away. Agree the shakes r more watery but on the plus side makes them a lot easier to make up, am loving the shaker makes it so easy to make them too! X

I mean the one on s&s website. Had little slip up & want to b honest on there & log it so i can keep an accurate record for myself but don't want a telling off, lol!

Hi, I'm only on day 2 of this so can't really advise re nite out but when I did Cambridge before I found it easy because u just know u have to say no to everything I was gd where as when I've done Slimming World b4 because I knew I cld have a certain amount of treats a week I'd end up having...

Hiya, I'm on day 2. Am loving the products so far, think my 1st w'end will b the real test. Good luck everyone. X

Must agree even though I am only on day 2 I too am loving the products more & agree being able to have a meal AND veg is g8 just hoping I can lose on it. X

Been ok so far, just had the Cookies & Cream shake, not amazed by it but not really been hungry yet so that's good. What do you have for your vegetable allowance? X

Hi, can I join? I'm starting today at 14st 9.8. First goal is 12st 7lb, then will go from there, hoping to get there by mid Oct, fingers crossed! X

Do u prefer this to Cambridge? I found their shakes abit grainy & only liked the mint choc so hoping I get on better with this one, was doing the sole source plan so found it hard not having dinner so love the fact I can have the meal packs, nice not to have to think about food & what u r eating! X

Ok thanks, that's a shame as thought they'd b an easy option, oh well!

That's not so bad then, figured I'd just take it easy for the 1st wk, will b worth it if I get loses like u anyway. Am really looking forward to my 1st weigh in! X

Thanks, sounds fun! At least if the weight loses r good it'll b worth it. X

Hi everyone, I've just received my packs today so am starting tomorrow & actually looking forward to it! I've tried every diet going without much success. But earlier this yr I did the cambridge diet & actually lost just over a st but got fed up with it as only actually liked one shake but loved...

Sorry to hear about ur loss that's awful. 4 stones is fab, did u do that on slim n save? X

I'm so sorry about ur loss that's terrible. 12lbs that's fantastic! Even with the extra water loss in week one that's still a HUGE loss! U'll b at target in no time. How have u found ur energy levels on it? Thanks for the tip on mixing the 2 program's think that'll come in handy if I end up...

Am doing the Simplicity program & confused as looks like u can have cooked carrot on the other program but raw isn't mentioned & carrots aren't on the Simplicity's list so guessing not but hoping they've just been left off, lol! Thanks x

Am starting tom so nice reading what everyone thinks of them, what r the meals like? They look tiny but don't know what I expected! X

Hi, sorry can't really help but wld really like to know too. I'm hopefully getting my packs today aswell & starting tom. Am actually looking forward to it! I'm prob going to do the simplicity version to begin with just because I can have a break from thinking about food & what I can & can't have...

Good luck for ur weigh in, let me know how it goes. Just waiting for my packs to arrive today, am looking forward to starting tom, must b crazy! Thanks for the tips, I must admit that's one thing I found hard on Cambridge, making dinner then not being able to join in & have any so even having...

Thanks, ur rite it does look a lot cheaper & more variety. Have ordered a sample pack which shld come tom so will b starting wed. Any tips?

Am looking at starting s&s in the nxt couple of days but just wondered if they were similar? Also on cwp they expect u to lose a stone a month, will this be the same? Can't find anything on their site which says how much u shld lose. Love the fact though u can have meals & the wider variety of...

Hi hun, u've done so well,it's a real inspiration seeing ur photos. I'm only on day 2 so is g8 to see it works.

I'm so glad this has been put on here, thank u, is so nice to know I'm not the only one who does these things. How have u all managed to change ur habits so much & stick to plan so well? I keep falling off the wagon & its not cause I'm hungry but because I miss food too much.

I regularly bin all my snack wrappers out of the car when I'm out so much easier then hiding them at the bottom of the bin so nobody spots them!!! Esp if I'm ment to b on a diet!

Can I join pls? Have been off plan for a couple of months but starting again tom so will try for 14lb.

Thanks hun, going to try really hard cause like u said is only 14 days not forever. X

So I've been messing about with this weight loss & have actually put back on 7 lb of the 14 lbs that I had lost so back on it tom for 2 straight wks b4 I go on hol otherwise none of my hol clothes r going to fit! Not looking forward to it as find I get very headachy in the first few days but...

Hi Hun, u've been doing so well! How much have u lost now? Not long until u fin then, will u b working up the steps then? Xx

Well done on ur loss, 7lb down is fab! Gd luck on ur new journey, u've had a fab start. Xx

Hiya, I was told yes to both, sweetener is fine & gum is fine although my CDC doesn't recommend it as a lot of people find it makes them hungrier. Good luck xx

What do u think wld get me the quickest & best results, a very low calorie diet like Cambridge or lots of exercise teamed with healthy eating? Got 2 wks till I go away! Thanks xx

No but if u find out where to get it from let me know I so desperately need some too!!!! Xx

So have done the same as I always do & now have 2 wks till my hol & haven't lost anything. How can I get maximum inch loss in 2 wks? Wld a low calorie diet or running & toning exercises along with a healthy diet b best? X

Doesn't sound too bad. Fingers crossed for ur results. Let me know how u go. Good luck x

Thanks guys, that's really motivating as sounds like I cld make a real difference b4 i go. X

Hi, just wondering what people tend to lose in 3 wks? I go away in 3 wks & back on Plan 100% tomorrow after being on/off/on/off for last 6 wks. Really hoping to do 4lbs a wk but dunno if possible. Xx

I've done exactly the same as u, started in plenty of time & lost abit but come off it for a while & now only have 4 wks left to my hol so am in a panic & so annoyed with myself! I'm starting tom & just going to stick to it 100 % & do my best, that way I know I'll b happier about my body then I...

Hi, feel I shld prob know this but without using the ketosis sticks how do you know if you are in it? If that makes sense!!! Xx

Hiya, thanks for ur reply. How r u doing getting back on it after ur hol? I've been awful, went onto step 2 but ended up quitting & have loved getting back into exercise but of course not lost anything in fact think I have gained but have not plucked up the courage to look at the scales yet! I...

Really regretting coming off plan & not sticking with it, got 5 wks to my hol so panicking now! Thinking of going back on it as only way I can make sure I lose some b4 I go. So Day 1 again today, wish me luck & send me some of ur will power!? Have u ever exercised on it? X

That 1lb will go real quick if it hasn't gone already & expect the inches are just water Keep it up u can do it! X

100% while ur away, that's fab u must b so close now. X

Oops didn't mean to send that yet! Ment I've been missing excercise too much & have got alot of meals out etc at the mo but tbh have been dreadful this wk apart from the excercise which I've stuck to but am kind of regretting my decision even though it made me so unhappy!

I've kind of quit at the moment was missing e too

Hi, just wondered if anyone has done the Slim in 6 program & what were ur results? Am thinking of starting it tomorrow. X

I am totally the same! I am awful coming up to reaching the nxt stone down! I am sure I self sabotage as am so convinced I will never get there! Am 1 & 3/4 lb away from getting down into the nxt weight bracket & it is driving me mad! So want to b there by nxt wks weigh in. Spoke to my CDC today...

Hiya, sorry I am prob being thick but what is bouillon? Thanks x

I'm supposedly just about to go into week 6 but haven't been sticking to it very well lately. Have been feeling isolated as used to spend my spare time running, going swimming or cycling & now have all this spare time & there's been far too much temptation at home so have prob nibbled far too...

I can't even believe I am writing this but I used to run every week, only 5k at a time about 3 times a week but since starting ss I've been told not to exercise on it & I really miss it!! Just wondered what stage peeps r on when they exercise & what the loses r. Don't want to go up a stage so...

Thanks hun, found it easier getting back on track after this Sat nite out & didn't eat as much as I wld've normally either so was pleased. Been gd the last 2 days so fingers crossed for this wks weigh in. X

Hi, can I join, wld love love love to lose 14lb this month. X

Sure will do but tbh having a bad wk anyway as been ill this wk so been comforting myself with chocolate, so stupid, regret it now. Back on it tom though. How u getting on? X

Hiya, I'm having a rubbish week, been ill so been feeling sorry for myself & only stuck to for 1 day so far since Tues, v annoyed with myself then I'm off out tonight going for dinner and the theatre, been booked pre diet so going to have a night off as couldn't bear to sit & just watch...

Day 3 is fab! I'm the same with water but been told this wk that CDP have now decided u can drink small amounts of flavoured water as the amount of fructose acid in it is so tiny as long as don't go crazy it won't make a dif, just check that there's no carbs or cals in it. I've found I can use...

Yeah I'm on ss & averaging about 2.5lb lose a week which is rubbish but is my fault as just can't seem to stick to it 100%, silly really as only got 7 wks till my hol & really want to lose as much as poss by then. R u defo drinking enough as I find I don't lose if I don't drink also know prob...

Thanks hun, have had a really gd day today & not been hungry or light headed so just got to keep it up! How u getting on now?

Hiya, not been on here for a couple of days, too busy eating, lol!!! Just kidding not been that bad just not great. How r u doing now? It's so hard to get back on track, took me ages after my w'end off, really regret having that off now but was unavoidable. Stick with it u can do it. Xx

Wow 8lbs that's fab! I'm in my fifth week, been having a few nibbles as always seems to b some reason to so have only lost 12lb but hoping to get back on it now properly. How r u finding it this wk? X

Went ok over the w'end, am now having milk in my tea & that seems to really help(only have a drop), helps with hunger & helps me to feel more normal when I go out, lol! Weigh in tom, don't think I've done amazing but hopefully something!!! X

Good luck with ur new journey. U can defo lose that amount,they say u shld lose a stone a month. U've got about the same amount as me to lose, I'm hoping to have got to 1 stone lose at weigh in tom then have another 2st to go which I'm hoping to lose in the nxt 9 wks b4 I go on hol. Is a hard...

I was thinking the same although got a while to go yet but was thinking of setting goal lower so that when I do end up putting on a little when I start eating again I end up where I want to b. How much have u got to lose to get to goal now? Xx

Congratulations on the dress, bet u looked fab & Happy Birthday! Bet u'll find if u get back on it now it won't actually have made much dif. Think its important to have some fun sometimes as this diet can defo suck that out of life but is so worth it! No other diet can match it. Really hoping...

Know what u both mean, I have a long list of things I want to bake & things I want to eat when off plan just abit worried that this shows that my attitudes to food haven't really changed so will b back here nxt yr, lol!!! & I'd literally kill for a bag of chips, never used to even eat them much...

Just wanted to say you r doing so well, well done ur a real inspiration. How long is that without cheating now? X

Grrrr struggling so bad, again!!! Why am I so weak? Does anyone else find this really hard & keep messing up? X

I'm going to copy you & try to drink more water too. But I need to try to drink it during the day as I have a habit of not drinking all day then having loads in the eve which means I'm on the loo all nite, lol!

So much for a good start, grrr cheated & ate this pm, really annoyed with myself! Hoping by being honest & logging I'll b less likely to cheat again. No excuse really. Oh well will start again now!

All gd so far, just starting day 2 feeling a little hungry but not too bad will b worth it on weigh in day. Hope everyone else is having a gd day? X

Good start to the day with porridge & a coffee. Craving crisps, more the crunching then anything but will get through it! Determined to do it this time.

Hi guys, I've been looking on here & finding it really inspirational reading everyone's stories so thought I'd try writing one myself & hopefully not only will it help me to stick to plan but it mite help motivate someone else cause believe me if I can do this ANYONE can, lol! So abit about me...
