Well ladies been away slightly longer than i expected but am back on teh slimfast wagon. Had a wonderful wedding/ honeymoon but unforutnately have put on 1 stone in the process! Not to bad considering i have also given up smoking in the meantime. Have got to lose the weight as am managing...

Lots of Exercise and lots of water will minimise the loose skin. Also loosing the weight at a slow rate gives the skin chance to recover. Lots of vitamin E.Also beeing younger as the skin has more collagen. But at the end of the day as it has stretched in teh first place it will never be as...

havent met my goal either lost 5 wanted 6 to get my two stone. Not too bad considering i had flu and a chest infection for two weeks and now i have either sprained my wrist or have tnedonitus so again cant exercise. Have dress fitting today so something to look forward to. just hope wrist...

I am on the pill with it. My doctor would have advised if it had an effect. Obviouly if you get diohrea (dodgy spelling) on it then it will effect the effectiveness of the pill. I take mine last thing at night to prevent that.

Sts this week but have been a bit naughty everyday which is worse than having one bad meal i find. One week today till my dress fitting so would love to get that final 2 1/2lbs off so i can get my two stone from restart (four stone in total from my heaviest). Better get badck on the Wii tonight.

the maxitone one tastes of very watered down milkshake. Thought it was disgusting at first but i am used to it now and it tastes ok. Beleive it or not if you peservere with it for a couple of days your taste buds will adapt.

you can have anything that is 100 cals or less for your snack and at any time that suits you. One word of warning with your pasta check your portion sizes as you can easily go over your calories.

Sorry if anyone thinks i am banging on about this but rosemary conley diet is the ideal one to follow whilst being on xenical as the rules are the same. You get your daily calorie allowance based on your age and height and weight and then you stick to the 5% rule with exercise. I lost 4...

Has nayone had champix and had bad nausea. Been on it three days and feeling of nausea is cinstant. Lst time i was on it the nausea was only when i had a cigerrette but this is all the time. Dont know if it is anything to do with being on Xenical and meal replacement shakes? Any ideas...

Margerita is 4.8g fat per 100g (12.8 per pizza)calories per pizza 556 Sloppy guiseppe 5.6 fat per 100g (20.2 per pizza) calories per pizza 678 (yes i know this one is over rules but not by much) La Reine is 5.1g fat per 100g (14.2 per pizza) calories per pizza 538 others on the range...

i had Pizza Express Pizza Yummy. Tonight is chicken tikka massala. Even more yummy.

its the same as any other diet wheb you come off it if you go back to your old habits of eating too many calories you will put the weight back on. The idea is when you come of it or any other diet that you gradually increase the calories over a period untill you are back at your 2000 ish a day.

The salmon is purely an example of something which on its own is over but combined is under. I cant eat cajun chicken without getting side effects but that has nothing to do with the fat content as it is under 5g per 100g. It is just one of those foods that disagrees with me. But i can eat...

it can work that way. If you think about a ready meal that is within the 5% rule for example. The individual components of that meal some of which may be over the 5% but added all together will bring it under 5%. Best example i can think of is any ready meal made with salmon on average salmon...

Can i give a WOOP WOOP!!

You should have no reaction with the burgers if the meal still comes under 5% per 100g just takes a bit more maths to work out the percentage as you have to add the two components together then divide by the number of componenets that make up the meal.

I was on slimfast too (although changed to maxitone as the level of sugars in slimfast was worrying me). I also suffered from the wind problem but when i changed from making the slimfast shakes with milk to soya milk (which is also higher in protein) this went away. There are a couple of us...

the hellmanss extra light mayonaise is ok. As are alot of the pizza express pizzas. You can get low fat burgers and sausages. Carte dor light is also under. Just remember that say you are having a burger at 7% if you have chips at 3% per 100g than that will be an ok meal as long as you...

Before i switched to maxitone i started making the shakes with Soya Milk. Although i dont have a dairy intollerance when i used milk with it i was getting terrible flatulance and gurgling stomach this stopped when i went on to the Soya milk. The advantage also with soya milk is that it is...

Well its 3.5 pounds down for me so far this month. Might just reach my mini target for my dress fitting!!!!:8855:

i was the same till i swapped to maxitone. Yes it is expensive but i have lost between 1-3lb every week since (was losing 0.5lb a week at max before). If you cant afford to do it all the time perhaps swap one shake a day. I think the higher protein/lower sugar in it makes it work better...

you need the extra lean mince which when added to everything else brings the meal to under 5% fat. also use wholewheat pasta as a it will keep you fuller for longer and also it is harder for the body to breakdown as it is unprocessed . quorn mince is anohter alternative. You can bulk...

well another week on maxitone and another 2lb off (22.5lb in total). Think that is pretty good as have had terrible cough and cold so exercise has been non excistence this week.

I get married in seven weeks or 51 days or on 24th July in Plymouth!!!! Order your dress the size you are now they can take it in at least two dress sizes ( a dress size is roughly one and half a stone) and if it is a corset back that gives one more dress size.

I want 8 but i will aim for 6! Will be my first wedding dress fitting on 30th. My aim for this was to be 12'2 so if i can get down to that will be bill. But if i only get the 6 i will be happy as i will have got two stone off so far!!!!

i have been on maxitone for 7 weeks and have lost exactly a stone pretty good going as the 7 weeks i was on slimfast ultra slim i was losing on average 0.5lb a week. The seven weeks on maxitone has also included my hen night and other halfs stage night (went out on the lash whilst he was...

6.5lb off this month! Not to bad as had hen night and stag night this month!

didnt realise how much till i just added it up. Started at 200lb (start march) and now down to 179.5lb so 20.5lb off (official weigh in tomorrow so will hopefully get that extra half pound off to make it 1.5 stone off). I want to get to 168lb (12 stone) for my wedding in eight weeks time!

Your at the toughest part of dieting. The first couple of weeks you get the buzz as big numbers come off. The next month it slows down but it is too early to see noticeable results. But keep with it and you will!! Try putting the weight youve lost in a bag and carry it round for an hour...

Be loud and proud about it! It is a nutritionally balanced meal repalcement. The one advangtage of being open about it is it stops you cheating. For me the oh shes had a cake comments behind my back is far worse idea than having the willpower and resisting the cakes brought in on birthdays...

I am on Xenical (double the strength of alli) and as long as you dont eat too fatty a meal you do not get any side effects and it does work. Pop over to the Xenical forum if you want some advice.

I think (in good jest and fun) i can have a i told you so moment here. I posted that i thought the calories were wrong over three weeks ago shows that i was right. I must admit that even that i was taking into account that the shakes were 207 calories each my weight loss was under 0.5lb...

well done!

well done you!! Just realised that i have now gone to the just fat catorgory from obese tooo!!!!!!!!!!

3.5lb lost since start of month. so that is 4.5lb to go. Quite impressed as had hen night last weekend and was as good as posssible but went slightly off the rails. 9 Weeks till my wedding!

i was like you lost less than half a pund a week. Even though i was angelic. Four weeks ago doctor prescribed me xencial and for the last two i have transfered from Slimfast to maxitone shakes (hardly any sugar but mmuch more protein) and i have lost 7ibs in a month and that includes havign a...

I was on slimfast before and lost a measly 9 pound in 2 1/2 months even though i was being angelic. I have been on Maxitone for two weeks and have lost 5 pound in that time and i feel better for it as well (less bloated). Probably wont have lost any this week but that was because it was my...

That was my big concern. I must admit that i wasnt really losign that much (on average less than 0.5lb a week) even though i was being totally angelic every day. I have since changed on to Maxitone slender shakes which are more protein based (although they taste rubbish) and started taking...

Basically how much do we want to lose this month. I will start this off 8lb for me but might be hard as have hen weekend next weekend!!!! Hungary 97 - 8lb

Carte d'or light and the yoghurt one is less than 5% fat and just as good as the ordinary ones. Pizza Express pizzas (margerita and sloppy guiseppe) are also about 5% and around 600cals for the whole pizza And Jelly low fat and about 50cals for a whole big bowl (or 10 if you use the low...

Can i make a suggestion use your doctors weight reading for your weight and for inbetween to keep you going only look at the BMI on the WII. Your weight can vary by up to 2.2lbs during the day depending on how much you have eaten and how much fluid you have drunk. Which is why you should only...

as long as it is 5g fat per 100g or under then you will be fine.

I tried soya milk and loved it far more cremier tasting than ordinary milk and gave me less wind and bloating problems!

Have you thought about joining Rosemary conley as that is a low fat diet. And portion control is a major part of the diet.

To help out the calories would be as follows (tesco ultra light strawberry) Skimmed 207 Semi Skimmed 239.50 Full 287.00 Soya Milk 202.00 Well roughly depending on how big your scoop is etc

As mentioned in my previouse post the ultra slim are not 135 cals per portion but 207 (if you use semi skimmed milk to make them up). Therefore i allow 210 calories for each shake when calculating my calories consumed per day!

Be careful the nutritional information per serving is wrong on the Tesco's shakes (not the ready made ones). For example per 34g serving it says calories from Carbs 13.6g and the sugars (which are all carbs) per 34g is higher at 27.3g If you use a proportional of the per 100g the calories...

My first piece of advice is to go out and buy yourself the rosemary conley magazine or recipie book and or Gi diet book. These are filled with recipies which are family friendly and all within the 5% fat rule as that is the amount per 100g that her diet is based on. you can also look at the...

There is an offer on at morrisons at the moment. Havent been able to check which ones for though. I bought 2 lemon meringue, 2 strawberry and 2 forest fruits and i got £1.49 off so dont know as to which flavour the offer is for. Will let you know when i go in again tommorow!

Anyone know of any offers on at the moment on the ready made shakes. Bought some tesco shakes at the weekend and cant stand them so want to get back on the slim fast ones!
