I bought a pack of coke zero yesterday - it really is treat! Have a good day :)

Started 11/05/13 at a weight of 235lbs :) So far I generally have a Green Tea at breakfast, then a shake, a soup at lunch and a bar or wafer (LOVE the wafers although they are pricey, definitely worth it!) I then either have a packet or a meal. Then I have an evening shake. So far: Cheesy...

I'm starting my own thread on here as a way to document my weight loss following a VLCD, and sharing hopefully to inspire and encourage others. Im 32, 5ft 6 and I work in Psychiatry so my job is quite sedentary. My weight increased to 238lbs following a diagnosis of Hypothyroidism in 2010...

Hi there! I'm doing Slim and Save which is a very similar very low calorie diet - just wanted to wish you luck! I had 3 weeks on plan (then 2 weeks off for mine and my boyfriends birthday lol) now back on day 3. I've tried slimming world but I'm loving vlcd's - so easy. One thing I find useful...

I'll have a search for them on the Internet, thankyou. Funny thing is, I don't even have a sweet tooth and when I'm eating 'normal' I never eat sweets or chocolate. I always crave it on low carb though! Strange :D

Fab, thankyou!

What's the beck book guys? Not heard of it before!

I'm on day 1 today (hence me hanging around on here) but I have done it before - started in late February but had a planned few weeks off for mine and my partners birthdays. Lost 1 stone, put about 6 pounds back on started again today! Good luck everyone! Looking forward to seeing people's...

Ive not had them as a slushy yet - mainly as I never seem to have enough room in my freezer for ice, but I do have some today. Gonna have a slushy instead I think. Thanks!

What an amazing idea! Thanks for sharing! Congrats on your loss! x

I always do a mix of Atkins/VLCD now after years of eating mostly low carb. Mostly because I adore cheese and Mayo and like to think I can get away with eating them :D Good luck with your plan! x

Why have...

Hi all :D I've been a background member of this forum for a few years now, I've always found it invaluable for support and motivation and information on different diets. Well, 2 1/2 years ago I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism which is a disorder that affects your metabolism. After gaining 4...

I've started today, I've done low carb/slimming world type diets to maintain weight but over the past few years I've put on 6 stone, its no excuse but I have been diagnosed as Hypothyroid. I'm seeing if VLCD helps people with my condition lose weight! Good luck bikini, looking forward to seeing...

Fab, thanks for the info on Pitta's, I'm not the biggest bread fan! I assume it's own brand Pitta? *off to the shops*

Hi BeckyT is that the reduced alcohol wine? My ears pricked up at 12 syns for a bottle! Oooooh!

Hey there! Hello and welcome! If you have two HEB's you wouldn't have to syn either :) :) although you would if you chose Pitta Bread as it's not included as a healthy extra. Wholemeal bread would be :) I may be wrong, the more experienced SW's may correct me? :) Healthy Extra's are great as you...

Hello and good luck!! x

Dear god, my boyfriend started Atkins today, I hope he doesn't read the beginning this thread :D

Hey there :) caffeine will help with your weight loss as long as you don't have milk. Expect an energy slump after a few days, don't worry, this passes :) I'm an experienced Atkins'er, always works great for me :) browse the Internet for low carb substitutes to bread, chocolate, etc, they will...

Hi David, nice to meet you. I look forward to talking to you on here at some point! Good luck with your journey :) I just wanted to say about the gym, ask your GP for a referral to your local gym (probably only local authority/council though), it wont cost you anything then! My GP referred me...
