    What made you start s&s?

    Well I lost over 3 stone for my sons wedding and vowed it would be the last time. Then my back started giving me problems and I ended up not being able to get around. It got so bad that a year ago I had to have spinal surgery and over the last 2 1/2 years I have put the weight back plus another...

    Boooooo

    Well I would draw a line under it, it's in the past. Pick yourself up and carry on......after tipping the squash down the sink that is. Going back to food when you still want to lose weight would be disastrous. I know, I did it. Thought SW would be my savior, but it wasn't it just put me back on...

    Happy New Year. I also put a huge amount of weight back on and feel disgusted with myself which doesn't really help. Positive thinking is the way forward. I also don't have any nice clothes to wear and I am blowed if I am going to be buying any. I restarted S&S last week and was going great guns...

    First few days and really upset

    My advice is that don't add anything to the diet for the first week.........no coke, no bouillion, no nothing other than water, black tea or coffee and the 3 meals, just go 'cold turkey' and you will be amazed at the loss and you will feel better next week. Also as the others say, don't weigh...

    Other diet bars

    I open my packs of bars up and put them in a container in the fridge. They are very difficult to eat when they are cold. I did try eating one straight from the fridge once and it nearly broke a tooth. I do prefer the Tesco ones although I do get the BL ones if I am near to an Asda for a change.

    Good luck. You can do it. Just get your head down and stick to the diet. I am also aiming for a good weight loss for a wedding I am going to in June. I know I won't be slim by then but I would like to get into the 13 stones from 16st 4lbs. It's a big maybe but I am giving it my best shot and...

    How much water do you add to the shakes?

    The pack says 200 - 250ml of water but I use 300ml and add ice on top of the powder before shaking it all up. Some people on here use more though.

    Decided to weigh myself this morning as I have managed to keep off the scales since Monday. Well I have now lost the total of 18lbs, that's 3lbs since Monday.

    Good luck Emily. It's a brilliant diet, I have lost a stone in 2 weeks. I am doing TS because I know that I am not yet strong enough willed not to go and raid the cupboards. I keep a 2 litre bottle of water next to me and if I start thinking about food I fill a glass and drink!

    Water?

    I was told when I did LL that it's really not good for your kidneys if you don't drink enough water on a VLCD diet

    Does Exante taste ok?

    I prefer the Exante shakes, they are very creamy and not too sweet. I am not a great fan of soups anyway, but they are also quite creamy although the vegetable stays with me for a long while! The bars are fine. They are big and they can be taken out for a meal on the go without melting. They...

    If the sticks are too dark it means you aren't drinking enough water. 4 litres is about right......and that doesn't include the water to make up the food.

    Why cheat??????

    I am not sure that 'cheat' is the word to use actually. I have been 100% this time around but I lost 6 stone with LL years ago and put the lot back on again over the years and it has taken me a lot of thought to do a VLCD again. In fact even when I had decided to go for it I was coming on...
