Hi all, Just started today, im off work this week but wondering how I will have my shake when at work? I like them cold, so would I be able to make the shake up at home with some ice and then put it in a flask type bottle that would keep it cold and have it for lunch? Any advice would be great...

Thanks for your quick reply! Do you think I will lose as much weight on SnS compared to say LL or Cambridge?

Hi, im Lynsey and will be starting sns very soon but im not 100% clear on what I actually "eat". I have done lighterlife in another life :rolleyes: and had 4 packs a day, I had 4 milksakes and nothing else. This worked and I lost 4 stone. Question for sns, can I just have 3 packs a day and a...

Hi ladies and Gents, Just wanted to share what ive just done for the past 30 minutes. We have a Wii and ive just put on "Dance on Broadway", it was FAB!!! :D:D:D You follow ( or try to! ) the dance moves to all the great stage songs ( FAME was great fun ) its such a good work out but the main...

Yeay! Well done you. I SO cant wait to have a bath again. Showers just dont cut it for relaxing.

Thanks so much ladies. This site is so great for help and advice.

Aldi rocks! We love it. We have saved so much money shopping there. Think my leader said there is a Aldi shoping guide with all they syns etc. Will need to invest in one I think.

Mrs V and Avisk, thats a great idea! Thats what Ill do when im having a chillie or spag bol. I know those meals have some veg in but not 1/3, so if I have a small salad before and my fruit after, im covered! Great! Just hope i can eat all that! Im so stuffed on this plan! Never thought I would...

Oh thanks Sally. Good luck to you too. Let us know how you get on!

Thanks Sally. Im such a worrier anyway, so as this is my first week and I dont know if it actually works, im stressing over if im doing it exactly right! To be honest it seems too good to be true. Ive not been hungry once yet. How is it possible to lose weight while eating so much?! Well lets...

Hi all, Ive only started this week, so got a question if you dont mind? :D Im doing EE and for example I had chillie and rice for dinner last night ( lean mince, chillies, onions, tomatos, kidney beans and rice ) but thats not 1/3 superfree is it? So what would you put with that to make up...

Thanks, just bought some. Cant believe they are free. Actually I cant believe how much you can eat on this plan! Hope I actually lose weight next week.

Im on extra easy, do you know if they are free or syns? Thanks!

Wow! Well done!

Oooh yeah, good idea! Thanks.

I cant quite believe how much you CAN eat. Ill be suprised to lose any weight! Thanks ladies.

I want to do extra EE though. My evening meal would have mince in it. You are allowed to have beans and a jacket with a fruit salad on EE though? It doesnt mean you then have to do the green plan all day does it? EE is the the 2 plans married together so you get the best of them both, or so my...

Evening all, Im Lynsey, 32 from Liverpool. I started SW today, really excited to get stuck into it but have a quick question! Im doing Extra Easy, seems like a fab plan :D BUT if for example, I have beans on a jacket potato for lunch, I know they are both free foods and I should have 1/3...

Im going to try for 8lbs this month too. Will get weighed tmrw.

So, Easter Day :cry: There was to much chocolate around me for my liking. Iam a chocoholic, really I am. I think it is an addiction for me, Id go through 2 huge bars a day easy and then small normal size bars :o So yesterday was always going to be hard, especially in my first week of this...

Thanks for the info Alex. Will try and stick to the 1900 kcals for now. My fitness Pal is a Godsend! Todays Menu - Breakfast - Rice Krispies with s/skimmed milk. Lunch - Ham salad sandwich with a drizzle of italian dressing ( love it ) Low fat yoghurt and banana. Snack - apple and low...

Boots scales - grrrrr Went to get my first week weigh in, walked up to my local Boots as our home scales dont have batteries in at the moment. They were out of order! :mad: No where else had any scales, so now will have to wait till Tuesday to get weighed. So annoyed. At least I got some...

Hi shiny! You have done amazingly well with your weight loss. Well done. Sounds like Xenical is working for you too. Can I ask, when your at the gym do you do lot of weights or is it Cardio? How long of each would you do?

Welcome back Rose! Weve already spoken but just wanted to say good luck, we will all do it togther this time!

Good thread! Well im just at the beginning of my weight loss journey, I have ALOT to lose, so exercise is quite difficult for me, also tryig to fit it in when im either with my 3 year old or in work is hard. Yesterday I managed a 40 minute brisk walk, was very proud of myself doing that, had my...

What a horrible stand in GP! No wonder it put you off, its hard enough to be dieting without drivel like that from a GP. :mad: Well done for getting back on the wagon! :) We will do it.

Todays menu - Breakfast - Rice Krispies with s/skimmed milk. Snack - Low fat yoghurt Lunch - Left over from last nights pasta mascarpone :) yum Snack - Banana and a weight watchers belgian chocolate mousse. Tea - Large jacket potato with baby leaf salad, cucumber, cherry toms, mixed...

Oh thanks ladies, I really appreciate your replies. Im nt actaully counting calories but will start to take a closer look at them. Will certainly get weighed on Sat and let you know the outcome.

So an update. My first week started very well. Then a few days in it went donw hill very quickly. I found that having the Slim Fast wasnt for me and I binged on food because I was that hungry. It wasnt healthy food either. So the first week was a write off, I didnt even get weighed and had...

Hi all, ive had my first weigh in, lost 4lbs. Im happy with any loss but expected more. Im over 24 stone so a 4lb loss is very small for my first week. If the Xenical my GP has prescribed me are supposed to help you lose another 1 - 2 ( I think this is correct? ) lbs on top of what you would...

Thanks ladies. Well day one over and now on to day two! Had pasta in a tomato and herb sauce with chicken breast for tea yesterday, was yummy. For my snacks I had a banana in the morning, snack a jacks for my break in work around 4pm, then another banana after my tea. Need to do a shop today...

:welcome: Im new myself to Xenical, started yesterday, all going well up to now! Good luck.

Hi, well done on your loss! Your doing so well. Do you know what I havent had as much Diet Coke today as I normally do and its only day one! Ive been drinking alot of water, so long may it continue!

Hi there. My name is Lynsey, im 32 and im from Merseyside. I live with my partner Chris and we have a gorgeous daughter, Ava, who will be 4 in April. Little bit of background on me and my journey to Slimville! I started my very first diet aged 14 :( Slimming world. I was 14 stone. I didnt...

Thanks Kes. For some reason the choc powder is nearly 8grms of fat per 100grms of powder but the pre made is 2grms of fat per 100mls. Confused! :confused: Just had my first shake an hour ago, not bad in flavour, will add ice next time though to make it really cold. I take it Diet coke is ok to...

Just been looking at crisps and their fat content. Walkers French Fries, which I thought were "healthy" are 33grms of fat per 100g :eek::eek::eek: Cant believe how much fat are in these! Any good ideas on low fat crisps?

Hi Kes, thanks for the advice. Just got my slim fast powder, chocolate flavour :D but im a bit worried as it says its 7.5grms of fat per 100grms. Isnt that going over the 5g rule? Do you think this will be ok? My mum, bless her, also picked me up the slim fast chocolate crunch bars but they are...

Hi Kes, well done on your weight loss! Your doing brilliant. So, if I were to have a shake for breakfast and lunch and a healthy meal for dinner, am I still allowed to have the 3 snacks if they arent the slim fast snacks? E.g how about Snack a Jacks? A chocolate bar ( if it was the correct...

Hi there, Was wondering if anyone here does the both at the same time? Im starting Xenical soon and wanting to do Slim fast at the same time. How do you find your weight loss is on both?

Thanks for your replies. Just got home from my GP's. He tried to prescribe me Reductil!!?!? Think he is a bit behind the times as its now been withdrawn. So he has given me 4 weeks worth of Xenical. Im happy with that.

Hi all, Hope you dont mind me picking your brians! :D I have my first GPs appointment today, I shall be asking him for Xenical/Orlistat, how long did it take you from your first GP appointment until you got the tablets? Did you have to get refered to a weight management clinic? I want to to...

Had my weight watchers chicken casserole and banana in work at 5pm, just had 2 clementines too. Had a bit of a silly falling out with my other half on the way home from work and I automatically wanted to run to the chocolate. I didnt. I know its only day 3 but Im quite proud that I didnt. Had my...

Just had lunch. It was yum. I roasted a leg of lamb, so I had 4 slices of lamb with no fat on it, a jacket potatoe, 2 corn on the cobs and some gravey. Full up!! It was lovely. Got a weight watchers chicken casserole for tea in work at 5pm, with a banana. Will have a clementine at 1.30pm just...

Day 3! Ava woke me up at 7.30am, came down and put the tv on for her and got her a juice whilst I set up the Rosemary Conley Wake Up Rountine in the dining room on the pc. Was only 7 minutes but I can really feel it. Will do another one tonight when I get home from work. Just had breakfast, 2...

Ok, so started my diet yesterday, 02.01.10, it was a Saturday, will be getting weighed every Saturday morning from now on. I weighed in at a disgusting 335lbs :cry::sigh: Saturday I had a bagel with low fat marge, ham sandwich with beef tomatoes and a banana, roast turkey with a jacket potato...

Good luck!!

Thanks for the advice!

well done for your fab losses!

I remember on my local council webiste that they do free memberships if you get a letter from your GP if I remember correctly. There was certain times you had to go though and it was only temp, I think for 12 weeks.

Well ladies, im off to make my dinner. A large portion of yummy....chocolate shake!!!

Im sure you will be both look fab!! Keep up the great work girls, youve done sooo well!

Im sooo pleased for you! Cant wait to feel like that. Its these things that spur us on isnt. Well done!!!!

Well said. I think to get in the position im in ( very over weight ) I think I do have somekind of eating disorder. I think I will have it all my life and I will need to seriously watch what I eat forever. Thats fine, ive accepted that im not like my 8 stone sister who can eat what she like and...

Enjoy! I love the zoo. Going to one for my daughters 3rd birthday, cant wait! Enjoy all the walking too.

Well done you!! Know how hard it is as I have a daughter and partner that I have to cook for. Just made her lunch and noticed how many times I would normally have picked as I was cooking! Shocking really as I probably didnt even know I was doing it.

Im with you on that! Id love to be able to just walk in to any clothes shop knowing I can pick up what and not have to go to Evans!! :mad:

Thats the perfect reason to do this. Really hope you keep it up and your dream becomes real. Well done for your loss so far!

Your losses are fab!! Im sure all your family and especially your nephew will be soooo proud of you. Keep it up and you will soon be that "slim, cool uncle" :)

You have done so well im sure you will soon get rid of that extra weight. Well done!

Wow, thats amazng! Well done!

Thank you ladies.

Good for you! What better reason than wanting to adopt a child.

Kirsty, hope your boob job goes well, bet you will look fab! Irish mum, you sound just like me. Thats just what I want for my little girl. I dont want her to have the fattest mummy in the playground! Roll on the yummy mummy years! LOL

Obviously we are all here to lose weight and feel better but what is one ( or more) of the main reasons why we are doing this? Mine is so I can have a bath! :ashamed0005: I havent had one for years ( have showers! ) because I would probably dam the bath water but also im to heavy to lift...

Im on day one today, we CAN do this!! Come on, we started this for a reason, a really important reason, hope your feeling ok today.

Good luck!!

Hi Lyn! Yes, we seem to be very similar! I also have blonde hair much like yours! Spooky! Shall we make sure we are getting slimmer at the same time too? :p Your weight loss is fab! Its day one for me today, had a lovely choc sake with loads of crushed ice, was v nice!

Hi Jan, im in liverpool, Crosby. Hope your first day goes well. Im just enquiring at the moment. How do you get started Jan? Do you need a GPs note? Do you have to go to a meeting? Really not sure how it works!

Thanks ladies. Im in Merseyside. Im 5ft 9 too.

Hi, im thinking about starting LT, could you tell me how much it is please? Cant find the price on their website anywhere! Also, do you have 3 or 4 packs a day? Thanks. Lynsey. :)

Thanks for the reply, its very very quiet in here isnt it! The 5% thing, is that per pack or per 100g? I got a RC magazine a few days ago so thats giving me a few ideas too! Id love to go to a class but there is only one in my area and its when im at work :( will try from home and hope it works!

Hi all, new here and thinking of starting RC soon. Looked at the website, very nice but no sample menu's. Can someone give me and example of what a typical day/week would be like for them? Thanks Lynsey. :)
