Hi Minimoosh! The bars are very different. Exante ones are cereal-bar like and a lot bigger. They taste ok at best. S&s ones are yummy although i wish they were bigger! The Exante shakes are thicker and less sweet. I prefer the S&S ones. I cannot bear the Exante soups at all. Exante don't have...

Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hi all! I am currently on day 2 of Slim and Save. I had a few days on Exante, lost a few pounds, ran out of packs. I ordered a few days supply of Slim and Save to see whether I like them better. I do! So - this is day 2. I'm starving hungry of course but I'm sticking to it so far! I have about 5...

Thanks!

Vegetables I've ordered some samples! Was looking for info on allowed veg and can't find a list. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Well done on your loss! You're doing really well!

Wow! I know I shouldn't keep jumping on the scales but I've lost another 1.8 pounds! That's despite half a cup of cocoa brought to me at 3 am by eldest daughter after a distressing call from youngest daughter at that time. I thought that I would stop worrying about my children when they grew...

Thanks for the encouragement !

Going to bed with a grumbling tummy!

I started yesterday at lunch time. I know that messes up day one but I was too excited to wait until this morning to start! So, yesterday I had: 3 cups of tea with milk and sugar :( 1 Toffee and raisin bar - it tasted....bearable 1 Thai Chicken Soup with added Tabasco - it tasted....too creamy...

Thanks folks! I am encouraged! I have started with a bar for lunch today (I've only had tea so far today so not too bad). It was...... edible.....at least they are not so delicious that I'll be tempted to binge on them!:D

I've lost about 5 pounds counting calories so far. It's too slow and I spend too much time thinking about food. I have splurged on a one week variety pack. It should arrive this afternoon! Very excited! I imagine that, since I'm already on a diet, that I won't have the usual huge loss in week...

Hope everyone has had a good day today! I've been OK - a bit wabbit but have managed a shift at work. Have been weighing myself at home and am pleased with weight loss so far - 0.5 stonw gone - amazing!

Well done Elay!

Good Morning ladies! My goodness it's hot and airless here. I slept very badly again and have woken up with a sore head so am chugging water at the moment. The parrot is giving himself a bath which he very rarely does so he must be feeling it too. Well - that's 3 days completed for me! I am...

Just watched Masterchef - mouth now watering....

Well done Lisa! I think the choc mint is yummy! I've been good today too (so far).

I found an ice-lolly maker in the cupboard yesterday and found that one banana brick splits perfectly into the four compartments. I had one lolly every hour! They were yummy! I'm doing the same today with chocolate flavour. Feeling a little better today - yesterday's low point was definitely tea...

Good morning all! Elay - I'm sure I read somewhere that exercise can cause a small weight gain because muscle building involves the breakdown and rebuilding of muscle fibres, which is a process that uses a lot of water and can cause a temporary gain (aside from the increase in muscle mass) - so...

Aww Kelly - poor you. I hope you feel better tomorrow Lisa - Brilliant weight loss! Well Done! I went to work today and was thoroughly grumpy and bad-tempered. I was cold and my legs ached BUT I avoided the biscuits and chocolates, so I think I'm going to make it to the end of day 2! The end...

I've been out and bought the largest Listerine I could find. I've never tried it before. It's seriously strong stuff! I remember buying some little gel sheets that were to be dissolved on the tongue a year or so back.Are they still available? I was looking for them in Boots yesterday and...

Can you tell when you are in ketosis? I know you can buy sticks to check your wee, but I jusy wondered whether you feel any different?

Elay - Bravo! You must feel great putting those jeans in their place! I have TOO many unworn things in the cupboard. They sit there and mock me when I open the door. Well done! Kelly - I hope you feel better in a little while. Be kind to yourself (I do not of course mean wavering one iota from...

Woo hoo! 1st day complete. It wasn't (quite) as hard as I was expecting but I'm trying to prepare myself for a tough time over the next few days. Well done Kelly and Elay yesterday! Lisa, how did you do? Let us know how the weigh-in goes! I slept badly last night - is this the diet or too...

Thanks Elay - I will do as you suggest. It will be good to know I have one to take when I get home :) Not looking forward to the shift though - the ward is for the elderly with behavioural issues and can be very difficult on a bad day... I am happy with the "elderly" but the behavioural problems...

I've been good so far! Yippee! Not nearly as hungry as I thought I would be - just miss...well...food in general! I'm working tomorrow evening on a ward I don't know so might not be able to put my brick in the fridge - it's only a 6 hour shift so I might just drink water while at work and have...

Hi Lisa! I'm struggling with the water too. I thought 4 pints didn't sound such a lot but oh yes it is! I don't think I've ever drunk so much. Some people write of drinking 4 litres - I would slosh around!

Had to go to the supermarket to buy pet food and came face to face with one of my trigger foods. Oh my goodness it was a close thing! I was hungry by then and had to run away as quickly possible! How couldI even think about it on day 1? How is everyone else doing today? Hugs

Well I've tried the banana. I got it down shall we say! Not feeling hungry at all yet - I'm sure it will kick in soon! I am a scale addict - can't wait for tomorrow morning to see if I've lost anything! I know it's bad.... Hope everyone is OK.

Good morning all! I was sad to read that Forevernow wants to leave. Sometimes you just have to be "in the right place" to do this sort of thing. If now is not the right time for you maybe you need to deal with the other stuff and come back when you feel better? Kelly - this is a new week, a...

I am due to start cd tomorrow. I have been in the habit of taking a fish oil supplement daily (about 10 cals). Will it be OK if I carry on taking it?

I love all your ideas Forevernow and Kelly! I'm not quite so worried about being able to get it down now. I can't wait for tomorrow - I am like an impatient child! I want to be able to say "Yes! Day one done"! I hope my counsellor is nice - though I suppose it doesn't matter too much.

Thanks Kelly! Do you think it will be OK if I take my camera and ask my counsellor to take a picture - you know a "before" shot?

Thanks Kelly! If I am weighed on a Monday I imagine that my results will be sort of "first in" for the week - is that OK or should I choose a day and weigh myself, say, on a Sunday morning? By the way - do Tetra Bricks have the same cals as the shakes? I have read that some people find them...

Hi there everyone! I will be starting tomorrow and have been thinking about what to buy. Do the tetra paks have the same calorie content as the shakes?

Trying to convince myself that I love green tea....

Hello everyone. I had a message from Kelly on the Advertising Agency thread saying that you are looking for a member? I meet my counsellor tomorrow morning and hope to start then. I'm 51 with 2 lovely daughters who have flown the nest (sob sob!). I've never tried a meal replacement vlcd before...

Thanks Kelly!

Oh dear - I thought I had found a team but it turns out they are full so I am still looking if anyone will have me........?

Found a team thanks!

Found a team Thanks!

Hi there! I am starting the CD on Monday. I'm excited and scared! I've lost weight on diets before but have never tried a meal replacement programme or a VLCD. I am going to have 4 shakes a day - think I'm also supposed to have skimmed milk too. I am willing to post daily to give and receive...
