I get them from Sainsburys. They are fab! In the same section as the vegetarian stuff...some don't stock them but worth getting as they are brilliant! X

Sounds like a brill idea! Is there a thread?

Hey rhibro! We have the same stats-ish! If you need a diet buddy for support, let me know! X NN

I mix mine with paprika as well. My face meal at the moment is quorn steak strips baked with mushrooms and a bit of beef stock cube liquid, with a bit of salad, cauliflower rice and cottage cheese...sounds like a lot, but is only an extra tablespoon of lettuce leaves added in. I halve the quorn...

PM, I am so sorry for your loss. Sending love and cuddles. X

Congrats on the 2.5 loss! A loss is better than a gain! You are doing fab.... NN

Hey chick! Hope you are having a good day! How's it going? NN X

Hey lancsgirl, Are you on ss or ss+? What are your fave ss+ meals if that is what you are on? Hope everyone is well!! X

Mm, you are brilliant! In reading your post, it really shows that I'm not the only one going through this. It really is reassuring knowing you guys are here. X

Congrats chica!!

I have a big mug I make mine up in, probably 300ml and use a whisk. I make my shakes in a kenwood smoothie to go machine, with 5 or 6 ice cubes and about 300ml old water. Tastes brilliant!

Welcome! The help you will recieve on here is second to none. X

And GG. X

I also apologise to PM, and really never meant to make any situation worse. Certainly wasn't pouring petrol on anything. X Having been in similar situations, my first instinct was to defend her....no harm was meant. Also, this forum has been nothing but welcoming and the ladies on it are...

GG - I think it was the way it was worded, I can't speak for PM...but it certainly sounded quite judgemental. Difficult to express emotion online though! X

Don't think the comments directed at you, lovely! X

Hey! Can you please show my total loss to read 12 lbs....going for 20 now! Cheers chica!

Agreed, lets try to help eachother through this. We are all in the same kind of boat and where information supplied is normally hugely appreciated, there is a fine line between that and non-constructive criticism. I say this with the most genuine of intentions. X

Lost another 6 lbs at my WI today!!!! 2 more to go to target and 2 weeks to do it!! Might up my target to losing 20? Hope everyone is doing well!

Resisted hubby and sons fish and chips!!!! Whoop whoop! Had to go upstairs and Hoover to distract...lol! Will pay off Sunday when I go to my wi and it shows how I did! Have a good weekend! X

Lol....vajazzle.....hehehe

Was going to ask the same....x

Hello all! Hope everyone is enjoying their almost-Friday! Just a quick one to see if anyone out there is doing ss+? I know there are loads of threads about it but just wanted to see what everyones personal experience with this is? I did a mix of ss and ss+ last week and lost 6lbs my first...

Going well! One shake, one soup and 2litres of water down! Had a bit of cottage cheese and turkey last night, but am somewhere in between ss and ss+ so will forgive myself. Haha! Strange what feels like cheating now! Hows you?

Well done lovely!!! You are an inspiration! Enjoy the omelette! X

Mine is normally on sunday.... Thanks, same goes for you! Always nice to find a mate doing the same thing you are. Hard to be in work sometimes when no one really gets it, you know? The gals on here have been a lifesaver this week!

Thanks lovely! Great name! Hehe!

Hey chick....in the same boat as you! Love to have a diet buddy!! I'm a week behind you...when are your wi's? X

So pleased. That's with a couple of ss+ meals as well! Going to fully do ss this week and see how I get on! Thanks for the support guys, you all really helped me through something I wasn't sure I could do. Big loves to you all. X

Legend!!!! Well done Chica!

I am on week 2 and lost 6lbs last week, which I am chuffed to bits about! Agreed that the first week, especially days 3 and 4 are hard, but you can do it! There is also ss+ which allows you to add a light meal. I have been to ww, slimfast, and tried to do it alone, with no luck. Cd really is...

Hiya! I'm Nikki and I am aiming to lose 14lb in 4 wks. My WI is usually Sundays. Bring it on and loads of luck to you al!!! X

Well done gorgeous! X

MM - I am Canadian, and had very similar experiences with V day! So heartwarming to read your post! Get to spend my v day evening with hubby, who bought me a new book and a lovely card instead of choccies. So cute! Happy love day everyone! X

Amazing!!! You are so very inspirational!!! X

Just had my first WI today - with 6 days into the diet - I have lost 6lbs!!! Which is great, as I have has 3 SS+ days this week:) Bring on week 2 ladies!:angel09:

So brilliant, totally agree with all of them. What I wouldn't do to walk into a shop and not have the first thing I look for ia the size rather than the style. I would like to add: -wear a White tshirt with jeans without a muffin top -prance around in a bikini -be healthy enough to have a...

Aww girlie, hold tight. Just follow your gut instincts ok? Hope you are ok. X

its open prison where all the prisoners escape !!!! You crack me up!!! Haha. X

Oops, didn't really elaborate there! I am Nikki, 28 years old, happily married to the most amazing man, 17st2, 5'7....slow weight gain over the years, time for it to go! Bikini season soon to be here! X

Ditto. Am on day 5 feeling great. Thought it would never happen. But it does, so stick with it! Paracetemol a bath and an early night will really help. Keep drinking your water and if you need to have a ss+ day, then go for it! Really worth it, and were here if you need anything! X

Glad it is going well for you! I feel loads better now that ketosis has properly hit and my face is looking slimmer already! Though I have a long way to go, am feelin good! Happy days!

No worries! What day are you on? I am on day....going well so far! X

I think she said she was only on shake 1......implying it was her first of the day?

Ditto! Also, work, walking the dog, snuggles with the hubby in front of a film....

Best of luck lovely!

My name is Nikki - lovely to meet you:)

Congrats on the 100% day....hope today is better car wise! Question- does ketosis make your mouth feel a bit fuzzy and sickly sweet sometimes? Tested positive for ketosis on tuesday...so feeling fab now. Happy Friday ladies!

Ditto!!!

Well done chica! I'm on day 4 and feeling loads better today, finally in full blown ketosis...even after a slight slip last night. Keep up the good work! We're all in this together! X

Thanks mate....really committed to this finally, that's why I am annoyed. Did stop myself from having more though. Baby steps! X

Thanks MM...today a better day already. Learned my lesson. Also, the soup is yummy and I have a savoury tooth so it helps amongst all the sweet shakes! 100% day, here we go!

Ok, confession time. Was day 3 yesterday, and was doing so well....until we had friends over and I ended up eating a big handful of ready salted crisps and 5 skittles. I am mentally kicking myself right now, as I didn't resist. New day today...doing well so far, but really disappointed in myself...

You look gorgeous!!! Love the skirt!

Best margaritas ever! Yummers!

I wouldn't worry too much, a lot of the news that is written about Mexico is exaggerated. Just be careful and keep your eye out like you would anywhere. I am so jealous! When you are there, you have to go to Carlos and Charlies! Also, try the street vendors for food, is proper authentic...

Where in mexico are you going? I worked all over for a year and a half so let me know if you need any tips on good restaurants! Very excited on your behalf!!!

Fab! Thanks for that! I am actually on day 3 100%....so far so good!

Can I join? Also - I am on ss....does it count as 100% if you do ss+ sometimes?

Crystal lite? Are we allowed this? Used to live in Canada and love that stuff! Would e great!

Yeah! Got through day 2 100% Day 3 here we go! Have a good day all! X

Ok, I know it is my brain playing tricks on me, but I am soooo hungry tonight and I just can't handle any more water. Going to watch Gypsy weddings then go to bed as there are crisps in the cupboard calling my name! Heres to tomorrow being easier! Nite!

Day 1 and on pint 4....harder than I thought! Looking forward to week 3 and the flavourings!

Congratulations girlie! Keep up the good work!! X

Question...are we allowed to drink Jasmine tea?

Omg...bikini shopping! Didn't even consider that as it has never been a consideration before! More determination now! You have rejuvenated my resolve...day 1 and HUNGRY! Lol! Have a good one!

Hey all! Day one for me too today! About to have a chocolate tetra for lunch! 2 pints of water drank and feeling positive! X

Hey girly - just wanted to say I hope that your brother is okay....and the weekend goes well for you! Good luck with the WI!! X

Thanks! Am sure I will be full of questions - first goal is to get through the first week. End goal in mind! Haha:) Have a good one!

Agreed with all of the ladies here - but perhaps also go for a brisk walk and listen to some chilled out tunes to calm you down? Will be ok:) Think how good you are going to feel if you don;t have that biscuit! You can totally do it....Big loves!

Thanks Kelly!

Perhaps the renaming thing is a good idea - but personally I am on Dr Charles Clark (very close to Atkins) - and I find it useful to be on this thread as it gives me some great ideas and I think it is a really nice place for some support when needed. There is no other thread for my diet - so...

Hello all - ok, had a bit of a naughty night last night and ate choccies, crisps and chips. Have been weighing myself in weekly for the last 5 weeks, and have lost only 6lbs, but nothing for the last 2 weeks. Which is great, but seeing the losses from some people, am wondering if I am doing...

Legend - thanks Susie!;) What kind of stuff do you normally snack on? Trying to vary my snacks so I don't get bored. I'm currently loving cheestrings, babybels, salami, carrots and tzaziki, pumpkin seeds etc....

Newbies menu! Hello, Have been looking through your posts and such for a few weeks now since I have started low carbing it. I'm following the Dr Charles Clark plan (like Atkins, but allows for a few more carbs). Been doing ok - just think I have drank too much milk and this is why I have only...

Hey! Thanks for the message! DCC= Dr Charles Clarke - kind of like Atkins, but a bit more lenient. Not sure if this helps - sorry, I'm an abbreviation kind of girl. Oops! Cheers!

Hi All! Have started DCC last week, and have lost 3lbs already which I am happy with. I'm just wondering on a couple of things though: -Can you substitute the 17g for your 1 slice of allowed bread/day for something else with equal or lesser carb content? IE - small portion of rice or pasta...

Hello Ladies, Not posted for a while, but just wanted to let you all know that at Sainsburys the tins of powder are £4.99 - buy one get one free, and the ready made shakes/smoothies are £1.00. Looks like the offer is on for a few weeks - so stock up now:) I'm going to! Take care:):D

Yippee!!! Have been not so brilliant with my SF diet in the last little while - so when I noticed that my fave flavour was finally a powder - it was enough to get me motivated again. Silly I know - just wanted to share this and see if anyone has tried it yet? Is it just like the ready made...

Good Luck Jazzyy! We're all here if you need support! The first week is the hardest - but after that, it's a great diet....Take care!

Cherrysabs - we're all in the same boat at one point or another - so don't worry. You're not hijacking the thread at all, I'm sure everyone on here would agree that we're all here to support eachother:) I for one am very grateful for this board. If you sts - you have maintained your weight -...

Good luck! Let us know how it goes!:p

Hey! I feel a lot better with having cereal for breakfast. I'm a lot less hungry, yet still taking in the same calories if I were to be having a shake. I find it gets me through the afternoon slump amazingly. Same as you, it's only been 2 days, but I feel a heck of a lot better than I did a week...

Sattsy - you may be my long lost twin - I think we just posted the same thing! Hahaha! Lili - thanks for that, going to have chicken salad tonight - and perhaps sausage casserole tomorrow. Is nice to get other peoples ideas for meals sometimes. I find end up making the same thing a lot....

Hey Lind - glad you are having a better day. Me too - I have decided for the time being to only replace 1 meal a day with SF, and have a bowl of cereal or something that is the same cals as the shake. I think I just need a bit of normalness for a bit. I am starting a running programme on...

My fave snack at the moment is ryvita crispbreads and a bit of hummus. I work until late in the day, so allow myself a 150 cal snack in the afternoon, and either a pot of sugar free jelly or an options hot choc after tea.

I am sooo glad I'm not the only one!!! I've been really struggling for the last week or so, and was a bit ashamed of falling back into old habits to come on here to be honest:( I've been eating non stop for the last little while. Last night was the last straw when I ate a whole bag of Doritos...

Lind - you are not the only one that feels that way, by far. I certainly can say that I feel the same way, and look forward to being more confident person. It is definitely a battle in your head and about changing habits that are not just to do with food. You should be so proud of yourself -...

Yours, that is.....haha.

Haha! It is very nice:)

Ok....think I did it! TA-DA! Brand spanking new ticker:)

Thanks guys - that's brilliant! Will do it now:) I'm having a couple of sausages, garlic spinach and a couple of small boiled potatoes with hot sauce for dinner. Yum!

Also - how do I add a ticker?

Hi Everyone - a bit new here, and my responses don't seem to be showing up right away? I've been on SF since the end of Jan, and have so far lost 12lb. Yay! Just wanted to say hello, and that I think you are all doing brilliantly. Keep up the good work! You have all been a huge inspiration to me!:D

Hi Ladies:) I've been here for a while - a bit shy to join in....but here goes nothing! I've been on SF since the end of Jan and have lost 11 lbs so far. (Started @ 15 st 9, and am now 14st 12) Really happy with my progress. Good weeks and bad - but that seems normal:) Just wanted to say...
