A week ago I was 15st 13, now i'm 15st 7. I hope to be out of the 15's in a fortnight!

Well, i've now lost 16lbs and down to 15stone 7 in 15 days!!! And it's my TOM so i'm puffyl and holding on to extra water!!!!!!! I'm finding the plan real easy to stick to. I don't like the food all that much, compared to my home cooking, but it's just so amazing to finally losing weight after...

Thanks!! I'm following Slim & Save, which I am really enjoying. It's pretty the only diet I have really been able to get in the "zone" with and commit 100%. Okay maybe 95% but that is still good for me!!! My weigh in day is tomorrow but I had a sneak peek this morning and i've lost another...

Nevermind;)

Isn't that exactly what I said though? I understand 100% that it would get pretty dodgy to have VLCD on a forum such as this, on many levels it would be open to abuse...and made a point of saying that I 100% understood and agreed with that. But some in this thread said homemade VLCD were...

Changed my mind on this comment and deleted it :)

So very chuffed!!! (Especially considering my mobility issues and now inactive I am)!! I was advised that losing 10-12% of my body weight would make a potentially significant difference to my back issues, pain and mobility so I have 16 lbs more to achieve to get to that first goal of 11% body...

10lbs lost woo hoo!

I have been 95% on plan. Not coming out of ketosis or anything, but adding more low carb veg (than the 200g) and adding up to 100g of protein in addition to the 4 packs if I feel hungry and fluids have not helped. It probably adds to about 100 extra calories. I have been reading all conceivable...

You look great, congrats on your loss. I thought that VLCD were only for people with a BMI over 30 though, for obese people? Because the health benefits of the loss were greater than the health risks of the extreme diet. Your BMI was not in the obese category? I had to agree that I had a BMI...

Ebay veteran reporting for duty ;-) Although, so far, I have mostly refused to buy "fat clothes" and have been surviving on a very limited wardrobe, hoping and praying that my weight will get where it should and I can wear my normal sized clothes! I have started with my full veg allowance...

I'm on Slim & Save and have no plans to DIY as I chose this diet so that I wouldn't have to think about what I was eating too much! I have my family to cook for, so don't want the added stress and hassle of weighing, measuring and cooking my own separate meals. However, I do not understand the...

I weighed this morning again and guess what? Another 3lbs lost! Taking me just under 16 stone! Woo! 15 stone 13. 9lbs in 5 days and 6lbs in 3 days on S&S!! I have ordered some of those weird zero noodles type products to try and fill me up a bit more because sometimes the evening meal looks...

Well i've only been on the diet for 3 days and I've already lost 10lbs! I'm 15 stone 13!!!! And therefore leaving this thread!! Yeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!:D

Hi everyone! I noticed on a few other threads that S&S plan dieters seemed to be apprehensive of their vegetable allowance and some even avoided (as if it might negate the speed of weight loss). This hadn't occurred to me till reading that, because without the veg and slimmed milk allowance...

Wow Ben really? That gives me so much hope! 11% would be slightly less than 2 stone for me so I could be there and mobile in no time. I have an app with an orthopaedic surgeon next week as I have long standing back issues (some of my vertebrae are too small and wearing away) and they haven't...

I was 16st 9 1/2 lbs Monday and i'm 16 st 2lbs this morning. The first two days of the week I was doing general healthy eating and last two days has been Slim & Save. I would be chuffed to be able to leave this thread by next Wednesday!!

Woo! I just tested with ketostix i'm definitely in ketosis!! Woo! (and phew!) I know you're not supposed to but I am weighing myself daily this week. I wanted to see at which point I went into ketosis and how much of my first weeks weight loss (roughly) was water. I lost 1 1/2 lbs the first day...

I love redbush! and have replaced most of my usual caffeine drinks with redbush. Yummy yum. I did end up relenting and having two cups of tea both today and yesterday though. Still a lot less than my usual caffeine fix but not total abstinence. I managed to stick completely on plan for the...

I looked into this quite a bit before starting my VLCD. Some experts and studies have indicated that Ursodeoxycholic Acid and also Aspirin can help prevent gallstones on VLCD. If you give it a google you should be able to find references. Eating fresh fruit and vegetables can also help, but...

So here we are, with me starting my first day on Slim & Save. I weighed in this morning at 16st 6lbs (230lbs). My goal is to lose 6 stone (84 lbs) maybe even a little more to get me to a place that when I refeed, I can manage a little gain. I was very good in the lead up to starting this plan...

Hi Tara27! I'm 5ft 8 and 16stone 9 (near where you were in the beginning) and I want to get down to around 10 1/2 stone ideally (I have serious back problems and the ortho recommends I maintain a BMI of 23 if possible). So yeah, been reading your diary with interest and am subscribing. I...

You shouldn't feel disgusted! You have made your commitment to S&S, so now is the time to shine! Sounds like you were just doing a little self prescribed aversion therapy! Just remember this feeling next time you feel tempted to come off plan..remember how rubbish you feel physically and...

And in a strange twist of fate (I was in so much pain this weekend that I re-evaluated the situation) I decided that I need to lose weight quickly, much more quickly than I would expect to via Slimming World, so after a bit of intense researching, i've ordered my first month of Slim & Save. I...

Just a note on ketosis, in case someone like me starting Slim & Save and wondering about week 13 comes across this thread... You are either in OR out of ketosis. You CANNOT biologically be in "semi ketosis" as Linz1971 mentions above. Your body is either converting fat into ketones for fuel or...

Hi, I'm trying Slimming World too. In the past i've done low carb and have eaten than way for many years, but piled on the lbs with my last pregnancy and have really failed with low carb to lose so excited to give Slimming World a try! Good luck!

Hi guys, I started Slim & Save on Wednesday 5th March. I'm 16 stone 9!? At the moment I am very limited in my mobility, and there is very little exercise I can do (certain yoga positions for instance). Anyway, that makes weight loss harder so i'm also really hoping as the pounds come off...

New to the forum but rooting for you and your goal! How exciting!? It's nice to see that despite the ups and downs you are still getting there.

I'm starting Slimming World too and have 6 stone to lose! We can do it!!! Good luck!

I lost all my baby weight after my first daughter with Atkins! Just remember that once you get through the tricky induction period and possible induction flu you are going to feel amazing! Atkins just hasn't worked me for on subsequent occasions sadly or i'd use it to be shifting my current...

Thanks!

Thanks guys!

I'm new to Slimming World and this forum too! 2lb of fat is still two packs of butter ;-) and they do say slow and steady wins the race and leaves less saggy skin.

I start on Monday too! Good luck!

I'm so determined that this year will be my year! And great to alongside so many committed peeps!

Thanks!!

Sorry to resurrect a thread corpse! But just a quick zombie thread comment.. I make a quick mug of miso with 1/2 teaspoon of miso paste (2.5 calories) 1 tsp of fish sauce (2 calories), 2 tsps dark soya sauce (12 calories) and then a few bean spouts and fresh spinach leaves thrown in...

Hi, I'm new to the site, and can't find any discussions on the recent episode of Horizon related to high carb v's low carb eating. I would post a link but i'm new so can't do that yet. It's called "Fat v's Sugar" and is still available on iplayer. The episode shows a pair of twins over a...

My 2 year old and my 6 year old love it, but I have to confess to loving it equally! It's just so funny! I've had a similar breakfast, 2 eggs, slice of gluten free wholemeal, a banana and an apple. Plus a small tidal wave of tea and fresh coffee! Good luck with your weekend!

I am new to this site and new to Slimming World. I start officially with my first class on Monday night, but have been given a comprehensive low down by my next door neighbour who is nearly at target thanks to EE. So this past week, i've been sort of trial running some of the recipes and changes...

Hey, I'm starting Slimming World on Monday. My neighbour swears by EE so i've been trying it out a bit this week and gearing myself up! I just had to subscribe because you have Pinky Pie as your avatar!

I'm starting on Monday. If my clothes are feeling looser after 3 days , i'm going to be doing some inelegant celebratory cartwheels to celebrate! ;)

W.O.W. I gained 5 stone with my first pregnancy, despite eating sensibly the entire 9 months and the first 5 months of hyperemisis! Second pregnancy caused complications in my pelvis and spine and I ended up completely immobile and gaining 6 stone! Seeing another mum achieve this kind of loss...

AMAZEBALLS!! What a transformation and story!! Totally inspiring. I love your style too, nice betty fringe.

I've never been overweight before, but have failed to lose the 6 stone I gained during my last pregnancy, where I also ended up in a wheelchair and almost completely immobile due to issues with my pelvis and spine. I am in daily pain with severely restricted mobility, the best possible thing I...
