Hi Mimmsey & Pagesmum, thank you for your replies. Hope your doing well. My sleeping pattern is terrible at the moment . I should have been weighed today but turned it down decided I would weigh in every two weeks . Almost 100% but had a slice of ham today :( x

Hi Zecond, your right all that matters is now. I also did this a couple of years ago and have put it all back on and extra .

Well done you should be very proud of yourself. Yours pictures made me smile I am going to get my hubby to take a pic of me today and again in a months time. :)

Thanks allneedles I find the 1st week quite difficult but then sail through it for about 8-10 weeks then seem to hit a brick wall ! I have a family wedding in Greece in July so need to make this work. I also really need to plan ahead for maintanence. Good idea cutting out the carbs in advance...

Hi just wanted to say hello. I am planning on starting CD on the 2nd of Jan I did it 2yrs ago for 8 weeks and lost 2 stone so I know I can do this. I did 3 shakes and an evening meal fir the full 8 weeks so didn't find it so hard to do. I have a family wedding in Greece in July and would love to...

Good luck hope you have a fab week . I did something similar a few years ago and lost 5 stone and sadly gained 3.5 stones so its time for me to get a grip and like you it's the only kind of diet that works for me. I feel I have let myself down big time and feel sooooo miserable. G x

Also can you tell me why the tolerated items are not in the book . Thanks

Thanks Joanne, I will leave tollerated items alone for now. Yes will update my stats when i work out how to do this.

Thank you for your replies, hopefully my lovely sister will find my book!!. Good luck with the diet

I am on day 3 of the attack phase and want to move to the cruise phase friday. My sister's seems to have misplaced my book and i am trying to prepare myself for the supermarket tomorrow. Please can someone advise me what tolerated food means.Thanks:confused:

Hi plumjuice i did CD last october for 8 weeks i did 3 a day of CD products & 1 S&S product (spag bol usually) i never said anything to the consultant and she & I were quite happy at my weigh ins. I know what you mean about not giving in as easily when your on CD because you don't want to face...

I only ordered the strawberry ones once ! They were so nice ate them both in the same day!!! (did use as a meal though lol) Not ordered them since i don't trust myself!!! x

Hi Slinky i know what you mean about difference in tastes. I have done a few different shake diets and i have to say SnS vanilla is not to my liking yet with all the other diets vanilla was one of my favourites. Other than that i like what i have tried so far. Ordered plenty of caramel & cafe...

Well done seeing them weight losses gives people motivation to keep going ! x

Brilliant losses well done x

Fab bet you have been buzzing all day !!! x

:)Weighed in this morning and lost 6lbs !! Really pleased only another 15lbs to go . Not expecting much next week. If i follow my usual pattern it will be between 1-2lbs and it will really put me on a downer !!!.

I agree if your using them when your out and about they are much more filling on a normal day i carnt get through a full one i have to spread it over the day. Never managed to get hold of the raspberry one,anbody else managed and if so what was it like ? x

Loved the caramel but only ordered the one buy luckily i ordered a cafe latte so will have that for breakfast tomorrow!!

Just been out for a 40 min walk came back freezing cold my hands hurting. Wasn't looking forward to any of the shakes didn't want a bar so had a look through my box of things and came across a caramel shake!!!. Made it with hot water and it was yummy!!!. Will have to get some ordered today!.:)

Well this is the 1st friday night without a glass of wine since christmas!!! and the weired thing is it's 11.25pm and i have only just thought about it! ;)

Moussaka. but wouldn't be the same without garlic bread anyway !!!

Good luck both of you. I'm now on day 4 and it's passed really quickly!!. (hope it does for you). Got my 1st headache today luckily it passed after a couple of hours. Felt really cold for last 2 days but please to say i feel great this evening so hopefully over the worst.

Hope you get back on track your last message sounded positive. You know you can do this you have just done 6 weeks and that's brill.x

Well done i would be over the moon with them losses !! x

Well done that's a lot of inches! Are your clothes feeling different? x

That's brilliant! I have also done CD & Exante and have to agree with you i prefer SnS

Awe fabulous and well done !!! x

Hi Suzi, Good luck i have done a few VLCD's in the past an can honestly say SnS taste the best out of them !!

Hi Hooked, you can do this !!! , A couple of years ago i lost 5 stone in 16 weeks it was a very expensive VLCD i did and i was really positive until it got to "D" day and i felt like crying all day. So i printed off pictures of jeans & dresses i wanted to buy and if i felt like giving in i just...

Fabulous doing this together !!! I'm on day 3 and cooking for hubby but to be honest being able to have the spag bol,chilli and cottage pie and adding the allowed veg makes feel like you are actually having something decent to eat !!! I have done Alizonne, Exante, & now SnS and SnS seems easier...

Not sure about the aubergines but i did Alizonne once lost 5 stone in 16 weeks and had abergines crisps every otherday (but it was allowed on Alizonne) Don't know the carbs/cals content either!!!

I make both of the crispy shakes with water (but not the full amount of water) then chill for a while and eat with a spoon lovely breakfast!

I have made the chips with turnip & swede and enjoy them both !.I have also made crisps out of aubergines and they were ok.

I love making chips out of the swede very nice with the chilli. Chip the swede ,boil in a pan for about 6-7 mins, drain & leave to cool. Spray wirth frylite, salt,ground black pepper,chilli flakes & paprika. Bake in the oven for 20-25mins (lightly sprinkle with sweetner for the las 5 mins of...

I usually do ok until i have a holiday then go completely off the rails and carn't stop partying!!!. I have a week in greece may and another week in greece in june think i might be doing shakes in between holidays. I lost 5 stone 1lb 3yrs ago and i have managed to keep 3 and half of it off. I...

Just a thought when i had the tesco's bar i also decided to have the porridge made with water (the same day) to pull back some of the extra calories that the tesco bar contains. Must say the bar was very nice but i found it too big so cut it into 3 and ate it throughout the day !!.x

Thank you all for your lovely replies. Hope you all have a great week. I really am excited because i know that a VLCD does work i just need to get to grips with maintaining when i get to my goal !!!!.

Myself and my friend have previously done 2 weeks of exante. I personally prefer slim and save especially for the bars and meals. My friend prefers the exante soups. I think it's a great idea to order some samples and see for yourself. Good luck x

Well back again. Previously lost 21lbs on CD Jan-Mar 2011. Put it back on :mad: so tried CD & SNS (using up old sachets). Couldn't do it felt really tired & had no energy!. Went to the docs had a blood test and was told i needed to increase my thyroid medication. Well i have done 2 weeks on...

Thanks for the discount code. Good luck for tomorrow hope you sail through your 1st week xx

Thanks Jrabitt81, I have had a look around various forums and decided to go for it. I have 2 weeks of slim & save left so will order a months worth end of next week. Please keep posting!! xx

Hi jrabbit 81 i have previously done cambridge & slim & save but totally fed up of sachets & thinking of doing diet chef, I know we are all different but if you dont mind me askingwhat were your avarage weekly losses last time you did this diet.

Awe bless you i was like you last saturday lol, and all i could do was think about food & wine!!. So got the dog on the lead today at 1pm and hubby and i went for a very long walk over the moors got back at 3.30pm. Now mooching around the site hoping to find something to entertain me till i can...

Hi Nicki I wouldn't worry too much about doing ss,ss+ or 810. This is the 2nd time this year i have done this diet. Jan-Mar i did ss+ 1st week then 810 for the following 9 weeks (with a couple of blips in between) and i lost 2 stone. This time i have gone on ss and monday was my 3rd complete...

Oh dear i haven't tried that one but i do have the vanilla hot with a spoonfull of coffee and i also have the mint choc & butterscotch ones hot.

Hope you get back too it Nicola i re-staretd 2 weeks ago and lost 6lbs my first week which really motivated me. I did this diet for 10 weeks Jan-Mar and lost 2 stone and hoping i can do it again. Weigh day tomorrow and from past experience i only lose 1-2 lbs my second week and it really...

Thanks BordersGirl really appreciate your help. Hope your having a good week.

Does anyone know when you can have the wafers ? Surely you cannot have them on a VLCD ! Are they for when you are introducing other foods ?Thanks

I know what you mean about VLCD i think they are easier todo.I tried Dukan for a couple of weeks but i got fed up of eating !!! and it's easier to diet not have to think what you are making for meals. I also put 2 stone back on over a 2 yr period after i had lost my 5 stone it just creeps back...

Flipping eck you did really well doing that on just choc shakes !! I do think the S&S shakes taste quite good. My fav or the bars and spag bol.

What a great way of looking at it. I did shakes a couple of years ago and lost 5 stone in 16 weeks. I had a break after 10 weeks for a weekend in Brighton and to be honest i couldn't wait to get back on the shakes after the binge weekend we had.

Hi Jacey, Well done picking yourself up and starting this new phase of your life. I have just done my 1st week and lost 6lbs so really chuffed. I have to say the weeks flown by and not been too difficult. Im doing mixed shakes at the moment(cambridge & s&s) but i think i prefer s&s. Good luck...

Thanks. I would love to lose 21lbs for christmas/new year. That should get me back to size 10/12.So here's to shifitng the 16lbs!!. Im going to Amsterdam for the new year and would love some nice trendy warm clothes to wear. Your both doing really well have you hit any bad days yet?

Hi all been on a mixture of slim&shake & cambridge sachets for a week and soooo happy lost 6lbs!!!! Love this forum it's really kept me motivated this week.:D

Thank you all so much for replies. I have done 3 products for the last 6 days and will be weighing in tomorrow!. I usually do a lot of exercise but not managed any last week other my 2-3 30 min dogs walks (and they took it out of me). Thanks again and hope you all have a good week.

Brilliant ! Your weight loss id fab,well done !!

Thanks BordersGirl should get rid of them in 2 weeks and then start a fresh. I do like differents things from each of the diets though!

I have quite a few Cambridge, Exante & Slim& Save shakes & bars as anyone else used different shakes to get rid of them and managed to lose weight?

I'm on day 12 and still on level 1 ! tried Level 2 but not ready for that yet. I also do 30 min Zumba dvd or 20 min treadmill after the 20 min shred and i have just noticed my arms & tummy tightening up. x

Thank you Stephie77 does it wear off ?

HI Geordiebear, Lol i'm sure you would be fine on your floor boards! If not get on the patio! I am suprised at the sachets they are much nicer than CD which made me think the weight loss wouldn't be as good but looking at you weight loss just confirms it is. Carnt wait till i have lost 21lbs it...
