    New beginnings.......

    Day 11 for me and it's Valentines Day! What day is everyone else on? I'm starting to realise how much my life revolves around food! Usually for Valentines Day we would go for a meal. Realising that this wasn't an option, this year my OH suggested going to watch a movie. Great I...

    How did you chose your diet program?

    Is that the plan that Big Brother's Josie followed? Her transformation is really dramatic. I'm following S&S now but I think that when I return to 'normal' eating I will follow a diet that is made from natural ingredients and unprocessed food. I look forward to following your progress.

    Water flavouring question

    I'm really pleased that my new order of S&S water flavouring arrived today, as it will help to boost my fluid intake. However, I'm not sure how much of it I can have. The instructions state 1 tsp per 500ml, but not how much a day you can have. Any one able to advise please?

    New beginnings.......

    First of my weekly weigh ins this morning and I am delighted that I have lost 7 lbs! I know that alot of this will be water etc., but is is such a good feeling to see the numbers on the scales going down. I now need to remember this feeling and use it to spur me on in to week 2. Bring it...

    New beginnings.......

    Day 7 is drawing to a close and I've reached the end of my S&S sample pack. So my end of week conclusions are that I really disliked the meals, but found the shakes, soups and bars okay. I've not been feeling hungry as such but the weekend has felt more of a challenge. I think this is largely...

    New beginnings.......

    Day 4. Mid morning in the office and the biscuits started doing the rounds. I would have usually dived in with the rest of them without hesitation. This presented an additional challenge as I haven't told anyone about the diet yet. Fortunately I had a S&S lemon bar in my bag, so I had that...

    Day 3 and still 100%. Yay:) Genuinely not feeling hungry. I even resisted my son's birthday cake!!!! I tried the soups today (vegetable and chicken), they were palatable but not overly strong in taste. I might try to boost the flavour next time as has been suggested by others with some herbs...

    New beginnings.......

    My sample starter pack arrived and I started Slim and Save yesterday and was 100% Whoop Whoop. I had three shakes and one bar. The shakes are a bit chemically for my taste but manageable. I have drunk loads and am thinking I might take shares out in Andrex! Day 2 and still 100% and still...

    Tomorrow is the start of my new beginning

    Tomorrow I start Slim and Save. In truth I'm feeling a bit apprehensive. I did a VLCD over 20 years ago and lost 3 stone and managed to keep it off for quite a while. However, 20 years on and after 2 children and much over indulgence I now need to lose atleast six stone (eek:eek:, have never...

    Party to go to

    I keep putting off starting on a VLCD as there often seems to be an event or birthday coming up. I keep telling myself that I'll start after the next event. I really need to just do it (the VLCD) and deal with each event as it happens.
