Thought I'd post again just so this gets bumped into the 'new posts' section as not had a reply yet......any ideas for US VLCD..... anyone? Thanks!

Hi, I am out in Maine, USA for the next three months and was trying to find a VLCD I could do whilst here. I came across Slim and Save and an old post on here where it was said that they can post to USA but I've just got in touch with Slim and Save and they say they no longer can. Does anyone...

Thanks karen. I'm tucked under a big blanket telling myself that its the cold thats making me hungrier and to just bloody well stop thinking about food. Stomach it's not going to happen and you'll thank me for it next year when I am no longer ashamed to get you out and have the sun warming you...

woohoo!! well done you, x

nice one!! Good luck for this week, x

I messed up yesterday and caved to a sarnie. don't know why as I'm only 6 days into this and I'd done the initial hard bit. I guess we all like to sabotage ourselves every now and again but knowing that I'm now starting this week from scratch again is hopefully enough to stop me from messing up...

good point sam! I love seeing the numbers :D keep going spyro....by valentines this could all be over for you.

hey you started the same time as me :) I'm also an ex lighter life and really, reeeeally didn't want to do a VLCD again, but honestly, I've tried the healthy eating and exercise route this summer and got nowhere with it. Looking at the stats of people here on exante, I've got high hopes that...

I've been wanting to do them too and great to have come across your recommendation. Have looked at online tutorials and found a couple of good free ones, but the package you got doesn't sound too expensive. Do you think if I just brought a kettlebell and then followed the online tutorials I'd...

Grrrr! Having put on a lb midweek and vowing to not look at scales again until monday WI, I just had a sneak peak and lost 2lb! Thats total loss of 1lb since I started this:( Have been 100% so gutted that so far the loss is no more than a daily fluctuation for me. Still, official day 2 days away...

well done on the weight loss :) yep I'm aiming for xmas for my AAM week too. I think it works out right anyway as pretty sure that will be my fifth week. Been dreaming about all the possible meals I could have today! Soups definitely getting more maneageable and so far the veggie one seems to...

Hi Jan, I've only just started too (coming to end of day three, woohoo!) and I didn't get any info either. I emailed exante and they said they had just changed format of info and were getting new ones next monday. They said they'd send it to me so might be worth you contacting them direct too...

5lb is def doable. Can you up your exercise for this week? lost track of who's doing it but the 30 day shredder seems to be spreading like a virus so you could do that if you're not already? Even if you don't make it to less than 13 by december, it'll be a woohoo for that day when you're in the...

maybe the more you crave food and then deny it, the more you'll want it. If you give yourself permission to eat for a day but not rubbish as that'll probably only make you feel more guilty, treat yourself to some lovely salads or get a meal in (M&S got some good meals advertised) so that you've...

I'm right in thinking you've been on this a week and know you've already lost 6lb right? Even if you haven't lost anymore 6lb is still fantastic. I'm hoping for 6lb as I did what I think everyone does and weighed myself even though it was only day two......i'd put a lb on! Not going to look at...

Thanks Karen. I've seen quite a few people join in the last couple of weeks so it'd be great if we're all here and still losing in a few months. :grouphugg: Just had the veggie soup....hooray, it's actually quite nice. I think it is the taste buds being deadened already though so still got hopes...

Julie, thats just wrong! I'm thinking of using the scum to help out as cement filler for a new wall I'm building. Glad to hear that they're all/some become manageable though and have just had the toffee bar which is pretty good. Another question though...can I drink earl grey tea? I didn't get...

Sorry to hear about your gran. x

wow 10lbs is a great loss! would your feelings of lack of energy be because you are actually using your energy? Even when I'm eating and getting a lot of calories in, if I exercise then it does make me feel tired. maybe yours is just a natural reaction from doing the zumba? Glad you said that...

interestingly I opened a choc orange bar this morning with the idea of grazing on it throughout the day and it tasted nasty, really medical. It still tasted bad at lunch time but this evening it really wasn't too bad. The tom soup was manageable too although seriously, what is with the thick...

for the love of god, what is this stuff??!! just had a mushroom soup...smells nasty, tastes vile and what's with the thick foam on top? This is going to be so hard and more so now that I have a cherie blair like expression after the first mouthful. Tell me I'm going to get used to the...

good luck! Sorry to hear about your nan. let's hope we can both get through this first week.

well done! Thats such great news as its really not far away. I think that extra bounce in your step will help you burn a few more calories too ;)

ooo lucky you for xmas! I've just got my first winter suit (mans second hand) but still not got around to trying it out......I'm still very much a beginner. The plan is to try in a couple of weeks when I'm hoping that I'll be bit more used to lack of calories. As for your running, I started...

thanks everyone but couple of questions already....what does AAM stand for, was I supposed to get some instructions with the packs as I didn't, can someone remind me of the link to recipe ideas for the packs that I'm sure I've seen mentioned in someones thread, and finally, is there an official...

well done on weight lost katy! I managed to stick to the monday kick off despite telling myself all day to put it off as there was still food in the fridge. :) now on day two!

So having done lighter life in the past but then put the weight back on, I vowed never to do a VLCD again. I have spent the last five months exercising loads and followed a really healthy diet and lifestyle and have lost a grand total of....0lbs. I know VLCD can get the weight off and I want...

I think monday. All diets start on a monday don't they?? ;) I'm not sure if pack will arrive in time but have some lighterlife products left so can start on those. 93lbs loss would be my ideal but just to get below 200lbs would be amazing which I think is about 33lbs away (too scared to look at...

Hi Katy and dubsndice. I'll be joining you both in a few days...just waiting on delivery of food pack. Good luck with it! Katy, not sure how you added your ticker but if you go to your userCP and paste it into your signature it should show. Neat little gadget though isn't it :) I'm hoping that...

Well done on the weight loss! I have about the same total amount of weight to lose as you and had started a VLCD at around about the same time as you and joined the gym at the same time. The gym instructor told me off for not eating properly so since September I have been eating 'normal' healthy...

I did lighterlife a year ago and for the first two weeks, even though I was in ketosis, I was so hungry all the time I could have eaten the inside of my mouth off. It was what put me off wanting to do a VLCD again but after the two hell weeks things did even out, it got much easier and I felt so...

Ah brilliant. Thanks FattyMcBigbum...there's another thanks to add to your list :) Love the name too. Well done on the weight loss so far!

Thanks. I tried that but it said there was a character limit which included my ticker tracker thingie, but looking at other peoples posts they seem to have a ticker, goals, update, pictures etc. Have also just seen that other people have weight goals and location in the left side panel too...I...

So, I've just come across this site and seen all of the support and am loving it! I've done lighter life before and lost 3 stone in weight and a whole lot more in money. I've decided to give exante a go after seeing the success diaries on this site. I told myself that I would never go back to...
