Did you mean to copy what I wrote? lol

Hey Claire I'm not from Glasgow but from Irvine which is not so far. Live in Edinburgh though:-)

you can have 100gr of certain protein foods too,,like chicken. - here is a list - http://www.minimins.com/slim-save/263390-protein-options.html You can also add 200 gr of certain veg. I can't find the list anywhere but there's quite a lot. So you can do 4 packs (which could be all 'meals' if you...

I agree with Laurie here. Starlight, your comments made total sense to me. You were making a very valid point. As Laurie said, the Starlight I know is 100% supportive.

that's yummy looking..the spaghetti and what veg is it exactly? I have to say I think the original spaghetti is my fav. I love the macaroni too but it's not enough!:)

Thanks. This is very useful :)

Yeah I thought the same. Too much or too little.

Yeah I know what you mean! The bit about what it does to their health is a real eye opener.

I always find it very interesting and quite shocking

ah Thanks so much. I actually found that page but was too blind to see the instruction info at the bottom. Great - ta! :) xx

I've left my instruction sheet at work and cant find a link on here on the website for cooking info for the new products. Can someone tell me or show the link please?

I love this. What an interesting site! Gives me an idea of what I might look like at various weights

I can't wait to try this too

I've been eating since the weekend (kind of planned) so have been very quiet on this. I knew I was going out for breakfast with a friend on payday so as I had been naughty, just thought well I might as come off as it ain't good to chop and change all the time! So here I am. Back on day 1...

Passport - holiday

are we allowed mushroom stir fry?

Well done BG:)

Hi Claire. 18lbs is very feasible. I know what you mean about starting and stopping. I was always like that on the cambridge diet. This diet is much easier because they have meals too. Very easy to stick to if your mind's in the game. Good luck!

yeah they're not all there but can be added on. There are a few new products and a few of us from here on it now so I'm sure it'll be very up-to-date shortly.

Good one Weasey. My calorie intake now is about 6-700 less than last year on healthy eating so it does keep nagging lol! On the plus side, it does tell you what you will weigh in a few weeks at the end of each day if you continue with the low calories...looks good to me:)

yip done.. enjoy :)

yeah it's really good. I used it all the time last year and I liked how it tracked protein, carbs etc..made me re-think my choices too! I really got into the healthy eating and I look forward to doing that again in a few months time. Right now though, I'm loving my vlcd. The best thing is -...

Anyone feel free to add me too. I'm Pamital :)

great. I'm going to try that tonight I think

Thanks..Added. Just updated my breakfast but need to edit it as didn't use the skimmed milk with the cereal shake

I'm the same. I've never used them but they sound like a great idea. Would love to know :)

Really? That's good to know. I used my fitness pal last summer and loved it. The tracking thing really worked for me. Then I got ill and stopped for a few weeks. Never got back on it but I know that's what I'll be using to eat 'normally' when near goal and will use when at goal too. It's...

Thanks Phoenix. That is a great explanation. And makes perfect sense!

does it? I didn't know that either... I really had better get glugging! I'll keep an eye.

Thanks. That all makes sense. I'm going to try to drink more..I've had a killer headache which I'm sure is mainly dehydration. I must try harder..!

What would be the repercussions of not drinking enough? I sometimes don't. I know it makes my breath a bit more eeuuggh and I have more of a headache but anything else?

Well done! That's a great achievement!

I'm due to get a month's order in 2 weeks and I'm hoping all the new stuff will be out by then! As for the porridge, I would need to say it's quite similar to the Cambridge stuff but it's ok. I'll be trying the new stuff.

I know there are a few new meals coming out..mac n cheese, new spaghetti etc but I didn't know there was new porridge too. I just thought I'd pop on the site and look at the samples and saw there was new porridge too. Anyone tried it?

Thanks. Well the last couple of days have been hard. I always find it hard to get back on a vlcd once I've been naughty! (I need to remember this before I fall off the wagon again). But I'm pleased to say.. I've lost all I put on plus 2 pounds more! 5 pounds! I've been stuck in the flat for...

I'm feeling the same as you. I was bad at the weekend but I'm back on today. The funny thing is I didn't even feel satisfied by the food I had. It wasn't worth it at all. I'm back on today and feeling good about it. Good luck!!

aargh. Fell off the wagon on my first nightshift on Friday and have been eating ever since... I went to start again on sunday but then I was in a crappy mood. My boss had made homemade macaroni cheese for the whole team which they all drooled over. They bought chips to go along with it and kept...

very ambitious but I had a huge blip last night/this morning so getting back on the saddle tonight! I'm counting this from today so 6 weeks ;) Cammie Girl..............24lbs (0lb lost, 24lb to go) Lots2lose36.............14lbs(0lb lost, 14lb to go) Bordersgirl ............. 10lb (0lb lost...

I used to do cd. Was never a big fan of the tomato soup but it was OK. Can't comment on the S&S soup as I've never tried it. Just the chicken one which was lovely.

Yummy. It all sounds great. As a previous CD'er, I can't just believe the variety on this diet. It just gets better and better. Mac and cheese sounds like heaven :)

I'm a bit late this week. Hoping to get that final 3 pounds before wednesday! Cammie girl ..............18lb..........(15lb lost, 3lb to go) Trace1981 ................14lbs........ (9lb lost, 5lbs to go) Maka .......................14lbs........(12.2lbs lost, 1.8lb to go)...

Fab. Ta!

can we use it?

Thanks! Yeah, I'm glad I remembered to do the measuring bit. I know that can also be very motivational. You know, when you say "I've lost x amount of inches" all over.. I know what you mean about standing in your old clothes. I'm hoping to do the same! :)

oops..amended rather add to my previous post!daftie

Sorry but you can you please remind me again how to do the cookies ?

Thanks:-)

I can see the values for the other shakes but not the cereal ones..guess because they're new? Anybody know? Ta! :)

So today I received my first full month's supply. I was like a kid in a sweetie shop. Got a couple of freebies too. That was nice. I finally tried the regular caramel shake that every talks about....YUMMY. I only ordered 5 but I've got a lot of the cereal ones so it's fine. I just can't believe...

Well done. What a great start. I must admit to being scales addict too but I think I'm going to aim for once a week now. That's going to be difficult!

Nice quotes ladies :)

If it's important to you, you'll find a way. If it's not, you'll find an excuse. Do you have any others?

Thanks. I really love the meals on this and I've not had any since Friday. Really missing them. It'll pass though.

Oh and I'm targetting myself with a 4 pound loss this week. As I said before, it doesn't always work of course but it keeps me motivated :)x

So I don't have any sweet s & s shakes left or meals. I get paid on wed so will be doing my order then. All I have left is some old cambridge and some slimmm shakes. Desperate to get my s&s stuff again. Anyway today wasn't great. I went into town and was feeling ...well, not hungry. But I had...

Cool. Thanks

Cauliflower rice? Please share. Sounds fab!

Hi I started slim and save 2 weeks ago. Really great diet. I've done Cambridge in the past which was great too - I had great losses. However with slim and save, you get a meal which just makes all the difference. Nice to something normal:-)

a very warm welcome and good luck :)

cool that's what I thought. I'm 5.9 and a half so was on 4 packs with cambridge. It feels a lot though lol

I'll be buying the men's 5 week supply on monday. I'm still trying to decide between 3 packs + chicken and 4 packs but I think I'm swaying towards 4 packs. Might do a bit of both.

That sounds yummy!

Can i ask which bars and where from? Sounds good.

Phoenix, I did the same. I decided at the end of jan that I wanted on this asap but couldnt afford 2 weeks worth. Got the samples. Loved it. Then I got some slimmm packs on the cheap (approved food) plus 1 week's supply of s+s..I have been having 1 slimmm thing a day so have managed with limited...

lol..yeah I was thinking the same about it being just over the 12 weeks..I think I will slowly step up in the 2 weeks before I go.

Cheers. That's what i thought. Cool. I'll know what to expect. I'll be back on it after my holiday

Thank you. I will do. I should expect to gain about 7-8 pounds coming out of ketosis right?

Quick question. How much is needed to refeed temporarily. I'm going on holiday in 15 weeks. Can i do this right up to 1 week before and gradually introduce foods? Going to Cuba and plan to eat fairly healthily and to come back on after my holiday . Thanks ! :-)

Well done. Great start. You must be chuffed to bits x

well tonight is night 1 of 4. I had some lovely chilli with some mushrooms and broccoli. It seemed to be a lot but within the allowance. Yummy. I was just telling my colleagues how easy I'm finding it. The meal thing really helps as they are normally having takeaways and such like...I'm too...

i was out the whole day today so didnt have one of the meals... had some chicken though. I dropped another pound today. Let's see what tomorrow brings.. I was at my friend's tonight and we were discussing our diets and how we are both very motivated. Different diets but full support to each...

thanks ladies..lots of inspiration there. I do love veg. It really helps to bulk up the meals too :)

I've been eating only broccoli until tonight. Then I had some mushrooms. I ended up putting a little spray oil in the pan (I know I shouldn't have).. I just need some ideas on how you cook all your veg? Thanks

Thanks guys. Yes, I really think it does change your life. It's all good

Thank you :-)

Lost a fabby 8 pounds. So happy. Now very comfortable with this and I've got to that point where I'm thinking...how do I manage 4 packs? But I know I must! This diet is so good and I must agree with many. The best part is you get some hot food with veg. Makes a huge difference. I love slim and...

Woo hoo. 8lbs in my first week. Delighted :) :) Cammie girl ..............18lb..........(8lb lost, 10lb to go) Lots2lose36..............12lbs ......(3lbs lost, 9lbs to go) Toots .....................10lb .........(1.5lb lost, 8.5lbs to go)Maka ......................14lbs........(5.4lbs lost...

Thanks:) I am not hungry at all today. This is so much easier than cambridge because you can have a meal. Love it! x

aw weclome :)

So I'm fully into this..Tonight I had the spicy spaghetti..So lovely.I'm loving this and it's a breeze so far. I'm weighing myself every day but cant wait to see my first full week's result..

This is such a fab thread. Yeah it's nice to see what everyone's eating and how the food is being done. I love the fact you can add veg.

Thanks..yeah I think I'm bad for that too..but I guess you just end up knowing by looking what is the right amount. The cottage was...yeah, well I can see why it's not so popular but it's edible. I just to spice it up a little. Definitely in that place now where the shakes are filling me up...

thanks...I got my packs today so I'm going to have cottage pie tonight with some allowed veg. Stepped on the scales and I've lost 4.5 pounds since Monday. Pleased with that! :)

Well. I work nightshift so very often come on here when you're all sleeping.lol! Just adjusting to the packs again (I say again as I was on cambridge before). I'm now entering my 3rd day and I feel...well, good. I'm not as hungry as I was yesterday and I'm actually starting to feel full. It's...

cool..I always wondered about that :)

I've bought some in asda and iceland in the past. I know that the strawberry contains malic acid. Will check it out & update.

I like perfectly clear water..only certain flavours contain malic acid though

..go towards how much you should drink per day? the 2-3 litres? This is something that has always confused me! ?!

Mmmm that sounds like a good idea. Wonder if it would work? Must try! X

oh yeah :)

Thanks everyone. Well I think I'll try adding a little water to my next one. I suppose it's just a matter of a little experimenting...I thought it was very tasty though :)

It is certainly a toughie. When I first did cambridge, the 2 contenders were that and lighter life. Now there are loads..however I'm going to do stick to slim and save 100% for 1 month..I think it ticks all the boxes I need. Thanks all :)

well, after a bit of dithering over the past few days, I've decided to go with slim and save. It seems to tick all the boxes for me..variety, taste, cost ...and a nice meal too. I've got a little question though. I have tried the crispy vanilla shake (I bought a sample pack) which I mixed with...

Thanks ladies. I swore I'd never get back to this weight but well, I watched it happen and did nothing to stop it! oops So yeah, I definitely need to change my habits and spot my strengths and weaknesses. The cost aspect of exante appeals to me, I have to say.. I've bought a sample pack of slim...

I've been on cambridge before (hence the name) and did exceptionally well. However I have now crept back up to my original weight (this took about 5 years to do by the way!). I know where I've gone wrong and it wouldn't be any different if I had done a ww style diet..which I have also tried a...

still no photos :(

Where are the pics? We wanna see! :)

it worked!!

Hi I'm looking to the future and was wondering if anyone knew if i could become a counsellor in Bahrain when the right time comes? I really want to get into the counselling part but my hubby is there and that's where I'll be moving to in Spring! Yikes! Yippee. I checked the cambridge website...

thank u Ok I'll do it the proper way. I dont want to ruin all my good work.:)))

:) within 4 weeks..cool Reson being..by my calculations, I'll be target by mid-end dec and I'm going to see hubby at end of Jan(lives abroad at the mo) and wanted to be eating normal, healthy food by then

I've heard that some people go from ss to healthy eating (without stabilisation)and it works? is that possible? has anyone else done this I'm very curious.

:) Hi Oh yeah I'm sure u'll do great. I went off CD for 3 days and put on a pound. I was eating loads of carbs but it came off the following plus an extra pound so don't panic. Well done on ur achievement so far!

Hi I love these forums cos they really do give u the support u need. I, too, get sceptical and read about those who 'put it al back on again'. But I've never been a binge-eater, just ate badly for a long time. I feel confident that I will succeed(lost 3 stones in 7 weeks so far) but I know...

Hi I live out in Uphall actually.Not quite Edinburgh but not far out.

Hi Ur photos are great and a real inspiration!! I live in Edinburgh too.Just a wee connection there.:)
