hi fellow slimmers
I am a true yo -o- er now in desperation :( have done all the usual ( ww, sw, wc, ss, etc) then lost all my excess weight on W8 5 years ago and became a consultant. Have since lost And gained 2 stone twice on slim and save? Now my last chance at a vlcd. Starting slim and...
Hi guys am still here just been really busy with work and uni - today is day 12 and I'm 12lb down my weigh in is Thursday and I'd like to be out of the 13's by then, have been 100% but think I overdid it by having olives as my full veg quota on fri sat and Sunday haven't shifted a pound since -...
I have fallen foul of the olives, saw them on the list bought a jar of green and black and had 150g (which is a lot olives!) as i adore them ended up sts since :( checked the cals and that was 150 cals whereas he cucumber gherkin combo I a usually have is about 40!! - not buying again too tempting
Tonight I had black and green olives, chopped gherkin and cucumber and a hot green chilli mixed in - made a nice savoury snack with a can of dr pepper!
Thanks for that, makes sense I absolutely love the yoghurt topped ones, It makes to keep a couple for if I go out for the day as a lunch alternative as they are more filling than the s and s ones xx
You deserve to go out and show off your lovely new figure, it don't trust yourself then why not tell hubby in advance what you want ( looking at ideas from precious replies) and get him to order so you don't get tempted by the menu when u get there ! Xx
OMG curry would the dream! Not curry soup though actual curried meal packs ???? I had 2 pks chilli for tea mixed with extra hot chilli powder and 100g quorn and was gorgeous, curry would be fab!!
Do you mean that's all you are having just 2 shakes a day? If so that is not good, you need the five or four And a meal- well don on the losses though!
Was my first weigh in today and lost 11 lbs so very happy with that,was hoping for 7! I want to lose another 2 and a half stone by mi August - 9 weeks! Xx
I made it through week one!!!!!! So excited to be able to start my weigh in thread... AndI have lost 11lbs so have dropped from 13.13 to 13.2 very happy hen :)

Wow impressive!! Is this a first date? You will be a cheap date drinking water lol. U did so well to stick to plan on a holiday!! When I did a vlcd 4yrs ago I took my scales on a fortnight in Bulgaria ( they enjoyed a little trip out of my bathroom lol) I decided to maintain I would have to...
I have to make sure what I need is to hand as when I need to eat I NEED TO EAT lol if I had to wait about cooking and weighing I May just pop something naughty in my mouth while I was waiting ;)
Space your packs if there's a particular time you get starving ( for me tea time when kids are eating) have that as your 'meal' or I have 2 packs together , plus start your water early, I have a pint before I get up lol x works for me xx
Yeah I lost about 3 on w8 for my wedding (4yrs in aug) have tried to get back on vlcds a couple of Ives and given up by day 2! This time I have said one day at a time, am on day 6 today am 9 lb down and feel so chuffed wIth myself!! Loads of us june starters, we are all here together xx
Aw Thanks Rebekah - how are u going? Have just nailed day 5 100% so am about to celebrate with a Chilled can of coke zero :) it's helping that my lovely friend marchy is doing the plan with me and we are ordering packs together and weighing on the same day - helps keep me on the right tracks...
What I did was cooked a cauliflower and then weighed out 200gs and put it into little pots ( I save the little plastic ones that the fresh pasta sauce comes in that I get for the kids) did the same with chopped cucumber and have just done some with my 100g protein in ( I'm using quorn pieces)...
Mmmmmmmm I was so hungry tonight and wanted something 'carby' I had 2 packs of mac n cheese poured over blended cauliflower and I mixed it up with a dash of hot chilli sauce and ate with a teaspoon - really comforting and filling :)
Hi ladies, it's great that we are all going for it in JUNE still time to get some serious lbs shifted before the end of summer! I'M on day five and have have had been 100% so far, though struggled a bit with the water :( I did a hop on today and am 6lb down was hoping for 7 by Thursdays weigh...

Good plan! We are having a meal out, but will order salad or something and just pick at it, will be chatting anyway so no on will notice, may as well drive too, may just pretend I have a kidney infection an on anitibiotics save having t get nagged! Will save loads on wine and taxi's!!!

Yep me too three healthy but huge meals and then snacks and dips and wine most evenings! Have gained a 22lbs since I went to Florida on April 7 th that's only two months!!
Hope I can lose it as quick!!
I am an emotional eater too and I think what was happening yesterday was a bit of self sabotage. You had such a great loss that your inner negative self ( your feeder)was saying you don't deserve this you deserve to stay fat - have carbs carbs make you feel happy! But you know that's not true...
Yep we can do this! It's exciting! Make sure you all post our weigh ins on the weigh in thread, mine and marchy's weigh in is Thursday, we are friends and work together, so have scales in my office! I'm hoping for a big fat 7 lol xxx good luck everyone xx

Thanks for all you support BG. I did a vlcd 5 years ago to lose 2 stone for my wedding - I remember that buzz of getting into ketotis and feeling righteous when watching other people eating while I had water lol obs I didn't do refeed :( and gained it all back and some extra - have tried and...
I have had no symptoms either way, was hungry day one but have been fine today just had peppermint tea at breakfast then had 2 packs together at lunch and dinner and split my veg between the two and that seemed to do the trick! I much prefer a meal to soup or shakes,must seems more like real...
I've decided this is my last time too, how hard can it be? I just keep asking myself, do I want to get fatter or thinner? The answer is always thinner, then I tell myself you know what to do then!! Simples ;)
Well done! I am just at the end of day 2 and it's going great, can' t beleive I'm sitting here on a Friday night drinking a coke zero and eating sweet FA lol I'd normally b 3/4 down my first bottle of vino and on my second packet of snacker jacks with a chinese on order - Omg and I wonder why...
You can do it!!!! I'm on day 2 and 10 days sounds like you were really getting there, what happened to make u give up? don't saboutage yourself, if u can do ten days you can do it til the end xx
Okay so getting into day two, have had a mug of peppermint tea for brekkie and 2 packs of spicy spaghetti as a brunch and now off to work with a 2 litre bottle of water to get down me! Feeling positive, can't wait for ketotis to kick in and feel that fat liquidizing! Lol, hope everyone else...
Thanks for your support shivie - copious amounts of water - Done! managed to get 5 litres down today, started early! will try the same tomorrow. have also had, 2 mugs boullion, one herbal tea, a black coffee and 2 cans of coke zero. I will be peeing all night long! hehehe. bring on tomorrow xx

Hey - I recognise you miss marchy! this Is your partner in crime! Glad u have joined minimis it's a great way to get inspiration xx can't wait til our first weigh in next week! Xx
Thanks bubbs67 - 3 sone may not sound too much to you but to me it feels like a huge amount. Mainly cos I have got an addiction to food and I likes my alcohol too much too! It would be a lot worse than this I I didn't keep yo-yo dieting (good all week and binge at the weekend) which tends to...
I'm sure you will get that 2 stone off too, sounds like e are both it zone! Not planning t add any food to start with, just. Packs and see how I get on!, not had a shake yet, sticking to water til about 10, try and get a bottle down early!
Right then this is day one!!!! Just weighed in and I'm 13.13. Which means I have exactly 3 stone to lose In 10 weeks so I can be a skinny hen on my friends hen weekend away - then the following weekend I go on holiday with the family (nothing booked yet). Am really ready for this have quite...
Hi chrissy yes vlcd can be amazing but one cheat and it goes downhill, out of ketotis and lose willpower ( happened to me more than once) starting tomoro and want his time to be the last time xx
Hi Yorkshire lady - well done for having the guts to come back on here and admit to falling off the tracks. I lost all my weight on a vlcd 4 years ago and am back again having regained the lot. :( I am starting slim and sav tomorrow and a hoping to lose 3 stone in ten weeks! Let's all do this...
Got my son to do all my measurement stats tonight and write them on the slim and save chart. He has taken it upon himself to be my weight loss consultant and is gonna weigh and measure me every week lol! Am enjoying a bottle of wine tonight and then going or 100% 4 packs from tomorrow. I am...
My hubby wants me to lose weight as he knows how unhappy I am when I'm bigger, however he has seen me try and fail so many times In the past I really don't think he has any faith in my willpower to stick to to this. I know I will get weak, especially around the weekends when I like a drink and...
Lfc I haven't told anyone other than my husband who's reply was 'yeah right another diet we'll see- what a waste of money!!' My friend is also starting tomorrow ( we split a month between us so we could try all the flavours) and she is in the same position. Sometimes he more people who know the...
Hi bit2lose u have done great! and you lost every single week? How amazing! And back for more! I can't imagine getting to goal it seems so far away but I will just take one day at a time and see how it goes. :) I will have a look for weigh in section now! Will need all the support I can get, I...

Hi Sarah well done to you for a fab weight loss. I am starting s an s after my hols ( next weds) and would like to lose 3 stone in 10 weeks for my friends hen weekend, does this sound possible ( I'm 13.7 now) and do u do excessive?. Have you logged your weekly losses what are they on average?
Hey angel face! How exciting.... I've just made e decision to start slim n save as well! Am around 13.10 ish and have done vlcd before (infact got to goal once and became a consultant!) am off on hols next weekend so will start after that, let me know how u get on!
I'm a binger too have also been drinking way too much over the last few years has gotten that it became normal to have wine and crisps very night. I weighed in at 14 stone today and am setting myself a 3 month goal to lose 2 stone at least. What kind of diet are u guys doing?
hi guys i'm getting on the diet wagon tomorrow, I have a kettlebell bombshell dvd and a 7kg bell. i am gonna dust it off> i was thinking 3 x20 min a week on the bell and 3 x 20min on the cross trainer. would that be enough? im aiming to lose around 3 stone.
Hi there
I'm another restarter its been a while... I used to be a w8 consultant after getting down to goal in 2007. But as all you fellow foodies will understand its was lot easier to re-gain 3 stone than it was to lose it! And so here i am back to square one. Last year I went to Florida with...
I'm glad i'm not the only one that does a bit of a mixabout!! Im back on w8 regular at the mo but hoping to maintain on a low GI diet after christmas If I lose a stone that will get my BMI back to 25 (my goal for 3 weeks time) then another half a stone or so by christmas if poss. I haven't...
Hi the headaches are caused by carb withdrawal and should fade away once you are in ketosis on day 4 (ish) keep drinking the water and take paracetamol if you need to it will pass!! if you don't like water try and add one of the flavourings. I'm doing w8 and couldn't cope without the lemon and...
hi i am a w8 consultant (www.allaboutw8.co.uk/coventry)
our VLCD plan allows you to incorporate one meal a day if you choose. If you have a meal from the list below you will still lose weight and stay in Ketosis xx Enjoy your day!!
You can have 3oz of one of the following
Chicken breast (no...
know what u mean about the birthday thing mines on the 21st April. I would like to go out and just be carb free which would keep me in ketosis but once in frankie n benny's I know the salad will not be an option!
shazzy if you have no luck with the doc why not try w8 www.allaboutw8.co.uk because you dont do 100 days abstinence you dont need a doctors letter. Also theres no 'tie ins' just try it for a week or two and see how you go. You could even start while you are waiting to get into LL if thats still...
always my down fall too. thats why i do allaboutw8 regular plan (i think similar to cambridge 790 but not sure) you have four packs a day then if you want to you can have an evening 'meal' 3oz protein and veg (I usualy have a quorn stirfry mixed with a thai shaKe) mmmmmmmmm. Doesnt affect weight...
me too!! Ido allaboutw8 and thats £49 for 4 packs a day but I normally spend £30 on a sat night out drinking alone let alone the takeaways and the normal weekly shop!!!
KIMMIE YOU COULD TRY ALLABOUTW8 its a vlcd/lcd with several plans if you did regular which incorporates one carb free meal a day = packs you could start after 6 wks of having a baby. have a look at Consultancy Information for this Area
Have you looked into allaboutw8 its a vlcd/lcd which incorporates food so you can start after 6wks if you are not breastfeeding. Consultancy Information for this Area
its weird isnt it? i have read before when people have lost a lot of weight it takes a while for their 'self perception' to catch up so you still think you are fat when u are not. my weight definately affects my personality, I got into a 12/14 wedding dress last summer and felt fantastic. i was...
just on th subject of price i answered your previous vlcd thread an told you abouy allaboutw8. This is £49 per week (four meal packs a day) (add postage of around a fiver if doing it online)price goes down the less packs you need. and you only need to have a bmi of 25 or over to start
Hi Tatty
all about w8 (previosly weight-matters) is a vlcd which allows you to incorporate food if you wish. the principles are the same as cambrdge and LL but there is a lot of flexibility in the programmes. The key differences are that you dont need to be 3 stone over weight to start just have...
hi cat we all know there is no magic cure all diets work when we stick to them!! but aint that the killer! the one thing 'naturally' skinny people (and my husband) just dont get! when food rules you it rules you, and coming from a serial diet/binger i really understand. I have just started back...
i bought the tesco value hand blender for under a fiver and it works a treat be sure to put the water in first then th epowder to avoid lumps!! good luck!!
if you will pardon the pun I feel like 'a weight has been lifted off me' - not having to think about what food im going to eat/not eat how much weight i will have gained in the morning/by next week etc etc. its such a lovely feeling when you get into ketosis and the weight starts falling off. Im...
have updated my ticker to reflect my xmas gain and an on the second cup of black coffee and first bottle of water. Feel strangely happy to be back on the plan (despite butlins tomorrow!!) Its nice to feel back in control!
Hi everyone. Ive made the decicion to get back on 'the plan' which in my case is weight-matters (to be renamed 'all about w8' in new year)as a consultant (all be it with only one client so far!!) i feel that it is only fair to get my lardy ass back on track before I lose my way completely!! have...
come on sarah you can do it!! Im on day 4 and so far so good (except just starting my first litre of water - very bad!) I am out tomorrow night at my friends birthday I was going to go for it but have decided to be the designated driver and stick with it. i went off the wagon last weekend with a...
i know what you are saying but the shakes are nutritionally identical so you would not be deviating isn't it better than going til monday with no shakes?
if you are desperate you could join www.weight-matters.co.uk and order a weeks packs (28) for £49+ postage (unless you can collect from a consultant) they are same content as cambridge and will keep you in ketosis. If you order before lunchtime they will come tomorrow. you don't have to carry on...
me too. having 3 kids and a dog there was always someone else to blame when the fridge/biscuit barrell got raided!! i seemed to have a bottomless stomach prior to starting this journey. I used to order food at a restaurant based on how much there was/how filling it would be. If i didnt feel fit...
hi the ketostix was nice any ketoney this morning so i am again a happy bunny. only prob is that i forgot my shakes at work today so had to go out and buy some tofu and salad and had my add a meal at lunchtime which means ive got nothing to look forward to later boo hoo!! westie girl - do you...
last night my stix showed nil ketones (unhappy bunny!!) this morning it was lovely n purple yay def better first thing in the morning!! no more night time checks for me!!
Dilemma
At work and have forgot my shakes.too far to go home for them but tesco just up the road.Have been on add a meal since mon - was thinking go to tescos buy some quorn and lettuce have my add a meal at lunch then have my shakes tonight can you see that being a problem?
you can so do it chika!! i struggled like hell on ss (was only on it for 2 wks!!) have now gone onto add a meal and doing 790 next week. i know my weight loss may slow a little but its given me a bit of a life line to know i can come in from work and have my 'tea!' makes me feel a bit more...
on 4th ltr water Im freezing too a hot bath sounds just the ticket. checked my ketostix and its showing None! im not happy Ive been good as gold so cant understand maybe be okay in the morning - trying not to worry
Actually W M is tried and tested it has been 2 and a half years in the development stage and has been founded by 8 managing directors one of whom is a former director of lighterlife who has changed over to weight-matters!!
Hi i have been doing weightmatters for nearly 3 weeks 2 of them ss and this week i am doing AAM. i have done cambridge previously. On weight-matters you have 4 shakes a day and work through the programme in a similar way to CD. Exept they advocate that you can incorporate food from day one...
No offence meant i was merely pointing out that a CDC would have to tell you what could be the consequences of drinking while on a VLCD/in ketosis it would be unproffessional not to. However that from experience (only last saturday) I can vouch that IT CAN AND DOES MAKE YOU ILL and is not a very...
obviously any CDC has got to quote the 'gospel' as it would be unproffessional not to, i drank vodka and coke zero while on ss last weekend. I only had a couple got drunk very very quick and was sick after (and i am a hardened vodka drinker!!) so i can vouch that its not a good idea. it was...
cant imagain ever being 8 anything people are saying ive lost too much already and im 11.4 how weird is that! how tall are you? and do people think/say you have lost too much? gets you a bit paranoid!!
me too been so busy at work have only just got thru my first bottle too gotta get it moving!!! has my second AAM last night which was LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLY still cant get over that such a small bowl can taste so nice and even filling. It scares me to think of the piles of Cra*...
yep the bottomline is we are all different and emptionally how we handle things can change day by day week by week. if you can get back on the ss wagon then so be it but if your gonna end up having a major 5 day binge then perhaps its better to keep things in perspective and have a bit of...
Hi kerry
I am kinda near you on weight being 11.4 when weighed on mon - however I was starting to get a little dispondant on ss and the plan i am on (weight-matters) encourages you to AAm from day one if you WANT TO. I decided monday to start AAM even though i have over a stone to get to target...
just necking my 3rd litre down before i leave work gotta take doggy to vet tonight to have stitches out. should get another two in by bedtime really looking forward to my 'tea' tonight (started add a meal yesterday for those who dont know!!) on the next subject ive never bought a christmas next...
def gets easier as time goes by was nearly gagging the first few days but now i really feel thirsty if im not glugging!! have i got enough posts to get a sparkly lady like youve got?
what do you mean 8lbs not as good a some of the others sounds fantastic to me i lost 8lb my first week and nearly fell over!!!! im in a similar position as you with a little less to lose and i think that does make a difference week 2 ss i only lost 3 which i must admit i was a bit dissapointed...
have drunk 2litres usually all i have at work but gonna go for another one before 4:00 which is when i go home then can prob get another two in tonight bring it on!!
its so hard to keep on it i know! some people are made for ss and some aren't i did it for 2wks and now im going over to 790 i just need to eat with my family in the evenings and think im more likely to last it out if i can have food.
am i reading it right that you can have 6 quorn sausages on 790 thats in one day? are you sure? if so then bring em on as a veggie they used to be my staple diet anyway!! woooohoooo!!!!
wow guys you are so committed!! Id already lost about 2 and a half stones at weight watchers before i started a vlcd it had taken me from Jan to Nov to get that weight off and i was struggling. i decided start a vlcd to see if it really would work and if i could get the last stone and a half off...
I got my glittery!! when can i have a skinny lady glittery picture thingy as well - how many posts will i need for an upgrade going to get the water now! then best do a teeny bit of work!!
you guys put me to shame!! im at work have had one black coffee at 7 and just had a choccy hotshake now im gonna fill up my water bottles and get glugging!!

its not a bout being self - centred its about keeping focused emotional circumstances are the worst case scenario for making us 'lose control' of our eating you are just planning ahead and that is commendable in the sad circumstances. x
Good morning!! i like to see that i am not the only early riser around here!! YOU PROB DONT KNOW ME AS I ONLY JOINED LAST WEEK AFTER STARTING MY SS JOURNEY AFTER 10 MONTHS AND 2 AND A HALF STONE OFF AT WEIGHT WATCHERS. I have had more support and inspiration in a week on here than in nearly a...
