Thank you both for your replies. I'm off to investigate.

I am now lactose intolerant and so cannot use the vlcd I have used before, does anyone know of any that are lactose free please? I have tried just eating a healthy diet but have been told I am not eating nearly enough to fire up the engine to lose weight. Vlcds work for me, just need to find one...

I'm a bit confused by the last post. I did LL 4 years ago but could not do route to management - money problems and came on hoping for some help from others who had returned. Don't really understand why someone would post on a LL returner forum if all they are trying to do is put people off...

I think you are right Starlight, it's funny when you read someone saying how wonderful something is when you absolutely hate it, lol. It must make it difficult for the company making them though, you can't please all the people all of the time, personally, I have to force the bars down and have...

Chewy bits of heaven!:eek: can you really mean that? I think they are like eating the bits off the bottom of a budgie's cage, lol, not you understand that I've ever tried to eat that. I've never managed to finish a whole one yet, just force them down. Isn't it funny how we are all so very...

The Tesco flavoured still water, Strawberry and also Apple have malic acid in them not citric and I think are ok, but check with someone who has tried it first, keep meaning to buy them but haven't yet.

It's not that I don't like the taste, I really enjoyed the chocolate hot and made with more water, it's that they don't seem to like me. Every time I've tried either flavour I have the runs, maybe handy to keep for if I get constipated, lol. For some reason I am absolutely fine with the...

This is so good, number 14 made me laugh out loud, that's me right now, lol.

Thanks Pierce and Starlight for the replies, sorry, I missed that, I had thought maybe the forum was sponsored by Exante and that was why.I've got to say, I still don't think it makes a whole lot of sense, I'm going to be binning almost 40 packs of shakes as both the chocolate and the vanilla...

Why are we not allowed to swap packs and who won't allow us? I don't really understand this as surely if we have paid for them it's up to us whether we swap them or not, and who exactly says we musn't do it? I think it makes perfect sense to swap with someone else so you are both happy and more...

Fine if I only use the banana and strawberry shakes, the chocolate give me the runs and the only time I had vanilla the same thing happened so wary of that one too, can't bear the soups but other than that, I'm fine, lol. How about you? I just quickly chug them down and drink water after so can...

I find the soups diiiiiiiiisssssgusting, lol they are too creamy, like pudding.I've tried adding spices, making them thinner, just always end up pouring them away. I had a day of only banana and strawberry yesterday and was absolutely fine all day, had chocolate this morning and the runs again...

Glad you're finding it ok Charmelz, hope the evening went ok for you.

Hi Veuvegirl, We are about the same stats and started at the same time, like you I did LL and then put it all back on and yes, can't face the counselling again, not to mention the expense. Good luck with your journey.

that would be good wouldn't it? well worth the postage costs. I'm beginning to think I'm going to have to stick to banana and strawberry, lol, will be heartily sick of them by the time I get the weight off, not to mention the expense if I have to buy just them and not the multi packs. Never mind.

Thanks for your reply, yes, you are right, it happened again today after a vanilla shake. I'm averaging 3 litres a day, but may have to step it up a bit and hope by the end of the week things have settled down. This might be horrible but it beats being constipated as happened when I did LL, it...

Well done on 8lbs. I am chuffed to bits as I weighed this morning and lost 6lbs, especially as I hadn't got my packs so was eating high protein real food and also had 1 Slimfast. What made it even better was I was at a function on Saturday, fixed menu and ate normal food and had wine, only a...

Well I've just had my second chocolate, had it hot with more water and actually quite enjoyed it, BUT I'm supposed to be going out tonight and can't, I've had the runs again, daren't move from near a loo. Wish I knew what that was all about, none of the other flavours seem to affect me. I think...

Ah, I never thought of actually eating food, thanks for that. I'll stick to protein with no carbs and cross my fingers, thank you for your help.

Sorry to be a pain, so I would be better having 2 bars 1 day then rather than Slimfast? I've got 4 bars left and 3 soups not counting the mushroom, for tomorrow and Sunday. I thought bar tomorrow morning, out for that lunch and then soup in the evening, Sunday I could have bar, soup, bar. do you...

I've just had an e-mail saying my packs are not being delivered until Monday. I've only got soups left and bars, absolutely hate the mushroom, haven't tried the others yet, will be having one tonight. I'm going to try the tomato and basil with lots of herbs and spices added. Does anyone know if...

testing for Ticker Thanks for the tutorial. it worked

Thanks Joanne, I'll give that a go.

Hi Nofattybride, I've been reading your posts and think you are doing well. It's day 4 for me today and i'm really worried as I've just finished a choc orange bar and I ENJOYED it! Now that has to be quite sad, I'm like you with the shakes, just chug them down and then drink water quickly. I've...

Thanks to both of you, I'll try the chocolate hot, never thought of that, but it sounds good.

I'm with you Tasha, I've just started and couldn't eat the mushroom soup - disgusting, lol. Good luck with it.

I've just started Exante, on Tuesday and am a bit unsure. I did LL a few years ago but had to stop as circumstances changed and I couldn't afford it. I'm unsure what to order as I got the mixed trial pack but am struggling with some of the stuff. The mushroom soup I found foul, 2 mouthfuls and...

The strangest one I ever did was Lighter Life, lost weight very quickly was incredibly badly constipated, i.e. crying with pain on the loo, even though I drank water constantly. I had to stop after 3 months because of lack of money and gained the weight back more quicly than I lost it as soon...

Thank you for the replies, I found the recipe too, at the bottom of the letters page.

Hi everyone, this is my first post and it's a question. I saw a recipe for banana cake or loaf, using Scan Bran and mincemeat. I thought it was in the current magazine, but have been through it three times and can't find it. Can anyone help please or have I been hallucinating?
