So I originally began my slim and save journey last August. Although I stopped doing the slim and save diet I managed to maintain my weight loss and actually continue to lose a wee but more (albeit slowly). I know for a fact I wouldn't have lost any weight if I hadn't of originally done slim and...

Gosh I'm sorry I'm only noticing this now! Silly phone lol!! I'm kind of alternating between the two so just depends what I fancy of the day type thing, mostly doing the four packs- though I find it hard some days to actually take the 4 packs, I have to kind of remind myself to take them lol! 3...

Well at least all your hard work will be worth it :)

Wow what a great idea!!

Hi and welcome sass! I've just started into my fourth week and if it helps u I can honestly say them first 3 weeks have flew by!! Just take it each day at a time and as the others say u will find your favourite packs soon enough and get in a nice wee routine :) xx

Welcome!! Brilliant that you are in a good place now :). I literally just take each day as it comes and kind of just see what mood I'm in each day. I mostly stick to the 4 packs as I'm lazy and couldn't be bothered thinking of what to make lol but some days I'll really fancy chicken and make a...

Oh no rebekah don't say that! I hope they will reduce a wee bit even??lol. Maybe slightly high hopes eh!lol

Sorry sadia, I swear I am as blind as a bat sometimes! Yes I was the exact same! And now like u I'm feeling a bit more energised! U notice it in silly things don't u, like I fly up the stairs in work now without a thought and before I would have been a lazy wee so and so tried to avoid them like...

Japers guys u were right! There's quite a significant inch loss :) very pleased! It's quite funny, I have the most annoying shape, I've lost the most round my waist and shoulder circumference but virtually nothing off my boobs, only makes them look even bigger now if that's possible lol!

Dont worry Rebekah I think u's will be stuck with me for a good while yet :)

Hey wigglyworm (love that name btw)! I think I'll be a slow weight loser but as long as I lose and yea I'm very much in the zone for the first time in my life lol!! My family think I've been replaced- charming I know lol! I lost 3lbs this week and considering I was randomly up a lb on sat I'm...

Oh and the xfactors starting tonight! That's my mind preoccupied for a while lol x

Ooh must try it some time :)

I've never actually tried that u know! Does it taste anything like diet coke by any chance??lol x

Oh great idea!! I went to gym after work too but came home wanting to eat all round me ha ha! Had a wee chicken stirfry and lots of water so far!

Oh gosh I'm so jealous! I'm nearly finished my third week and so far I've lost 11lbs which is what I lost the first week and I've been doing it 100% lol! How annoying ha ha cx

Hey rebekah! Yea I'm drinking plenty of water, I'm think my body must be retaining it possibly?lol x

Hey BFM! How u getting on now?x

So I weighed myself today and I've somehow managed to gain a lb!! I think my body is obviously not liking this diet at all and I'm keeping to it 100%! The only things that go past my mouth that aren't the packs are veggies from the list (never over the 200grams), lots of water, some days I'll...

You're doing really well!! I know what u mean about weighing yourself everyday! I found myself doing that this week cause I had such a poor loss last week lol! Not the best idea motivation wise mind u lol xx

See that's the annoying thing everything else is going a hell of a lot better than I ever thought. I've got in a gd wee routine already, not hungry and I'm noticing a difference in my body shape already :) and miniminers like yourself differently inspire me to go on :) xx

Thanks stef! I'm given my bowels an ultimatum to work by tomorrow or else I will go see the doc lol! Here's hoping the bowels listen he he xx

Hi all! Sorry for hate crashing here- I'm currently doing slim and save- was just fishing about for posts about constipation because I am at my wits end today! I've had barely any movement at all for over a week and a half now! Tired ducolax, took 2, 2 nights after one another and the teensiest...

I absolutely love the crispy shakes with a bit of water and then microwaved for 30 secs! Yummy!xx

Aw thanks ladies! Had a wee bit rant there sorry lol! I've tried laxatives and I've started taking fibre sachets twice a day from monday and still nothing. Actually have the most annoying pain in my left side! Finally found a diet that I can find myself sticking too and this happens. I think...

At my complete wits end today! Have had absolutely no bowel movement and completely bunged up :( obviously wont be able to continue at this rate :( trust me :(

Fab! Well done u!xx

Lol it's save to say I'm not a very good experimenter lol! Totally made a hashbrown of them!lol x

I'm literally just taking it each day as it comes but have a fair bit to lose! So as long as I'm keeping healthy ill keep going :) no idea at all but I'm hoping this will break all the bad habits I had beforehand with food. That was actually my main reason for doing such an extreme diet in the...

Well today is literally the start of week 3 so 14 days down, god knows how many to go lol. I'm finding it very easy now too, once I got over my first few days I was fine! The days are flying by which is always a good sign :) xx

Hiya!! My best advice would be to get in a wee routine and space your packs out thought the day. Drink lots of water, honestly just keep a water bottle with u at all times and it gets to the point that u don't even realise u are drinking lol. U should avail of your 200grams of veggie too. Like...

Hey Emily! The fact you had such an amazing weightloss the first time says it all! Course u can do it again :)! I know it's easier said than done but just try not to think about it. I'm going into my third week and honestly the amount of parties and do's that have happened in the last 14 days...

If u can stick out the first 2-3 days then will be able to do the full week surely :). Most people have fantastic weightloss in their first week so use that as a bit of motivation :). Good luck pet xx

Hi cushionhugger!! how u finding it! I'm going into my third week and it's honestly flew! Hope I can still say that down the line!lol!xx

Hey missy! How r u finding your first week? This is my first VLCD too!xx

Hiya pinksparklybirdy! Tell me this did u just spread them on baking parchment and a plate? Then the microwave! Going to experiment the night!lol x

Ok I'm starting to think my goal was a bit over enthusiastic lol!!xx

Wow go u pair 5 stone!!! I may keep at it lol xx

Pastry - puff

Have had a pants start to the week with a 1 lb weightloss! Still it's better than a 1 lb gain but can't help but feel a little defeated as I am really sticking to this as close to if not 100% on a daily basis :(. I have been completely bunged up this week (now over a week since I've been to loo...

Very annoyingly only lost 1lb this week! Quite annoying as I have kept to in very well and don't even have any cravings to tempt me but I'm extremely bunged up so I'm thinking that might be affecting my weight loss xx

I had the curry with cauli rice this evening! Was very impressed with the flavour :)

Thanks rebekah!

Hiya sonia! Only getting a chance to read your latest posts now! Your just right changing to something u find more suitable! How r u finding it?xx

I did saddlebags but nothing seems to have happened. I am going to have an early night and take another ducolax tonight and fingers crossed I'll be fine tomorrow :). My body just hadn't adjusted yet. I'm also going to take a fibre supplement each day as well to help.

Yea I agree with saddlebags its important not to be bunged up...sadly I still am lol!

At this stage id me tempted to try anything lol! I may take one on my return tonight then before bed and hope that it will have worked by tomorrow :) thanks for advice!

Thanks do much stephanees! I have a leaving party to go to tonigjt so can't even take a laxative but if nothing happens by tomorrow I definitely will and thanks for the supplement advice!

Sorry for such a topic but I'm just wondering has anyone had any bowel problems regarding constipation on slim and save? I'm on day 12 of the diet and finding it great have kept 100% including my veggie allowance and drinking plenty of water but unfortunately I have not been able to go to the...

Annieanee I start last week (now on day 8) and on day 4 I had a wee sneaky weigh in and there was very little change so I decided not to let it get to me and just not weigh myself to my official day-yesterday and I lost 11lbs!! I think our bodies work in strange ways so just try and keep giving...

Day 8 and going good! food today so far: Porridge and tea for breakfast chicken stir fry for lunch chilli con carne for dinner Also have drank roughly 2 litres of water so far and a glass of coke zero I'm a complete diet coke addict do I'm finding the odd wee glass of cold zero is keeping...

Oh those turnip chips look great is right! Love how u can pick up so many great wee ideas on this :)

Och Sonia don't be beating yourself up! It's only a wee blip, ill safely say I'm sure I'll have plenty and your doing the best thing by just carrying on which takes alot of will power! We can do this :) xxx

Och Sonia! Your so lovely! Decided I needed a wee ranting page ha ha!!xx

Thanks lilzee! :) is this your first week??

I wasn't originally going to do a diary but then I thought it would be a perfect way to vent any excitements or frustrations even if it was just to myself lol. I had my first weigh in today and I've lost 11lbs. Feeling really motivated and pleased but at the same time I don't want to become...

Thanku! Good luck for Wednesday :) xx

Thanks so much! I'm really chuffed, honestly didn't think I'd lose just quite as much! Had a few drinks on sat too and thought that might have set me back but obviously not (though I'm definitely not having a few drinks again, was so ill yesterday eugh) Well I wouldn't worry too much as I drink...

Thanks nomore! Just gives you that extra bit of encouragement! Honestly didn't think I would have lost so much mind u as I had a few drinks sat night but there you have it :). How I finding it so far?

Hi Sonia doll!! Well my first weigh was today and ive somehow managed to lose 11lbs!! Rally pleased. How r u finding day one. Just keep drinking water and remember that after the first few days it's so much easier!xx

My first weigh in was today and I've lost 11lbs! Chuffed to bits just have to keep going now!! :)

What a clever idea! I think I might try that tonight :)

I think it's really important to start on the right mind set so u have half the battle won already :)

Hiya Sonia! At the moment it couldnt be going better! Don't feel hungry and have no cravings so I can't help but feel am I doing it wrong?lol. Big family dinner tomorrow though so that'll be a fun test! Have u started?xx

Ooh curry! Please post up what is like :)

Hiya! I'm currently on day 4 and so far so good :) we can spur each other on rightly- I haven't started a diary yet going to wait until my weigh in on monday-eeek. Most of the packs I have tried are lovely. I would maybe read up on some of the helpful threads about the diffetence/ similarities...

Whoop you've ordered your packs! I have so many parties and events this month too! Nightmare lol! We'll just have to share our tips lol! Good luck!x

Thanks scousemouse! Another added bonus of drinking so much water is all the exercise I'm getting running up and down the stairs to the loo lol

I found day one very tough! But I think it was due to a carb withdrawal! The last 2 days have been much easier and like u I'm very determined and focused! :)

Thanks nomore! Finally had time to do a wee google and u were right! How are u finding it so far??

Hi all just a quick question, I'm currently on day 3 and have noticed a very strong salty taste in my mouth today, is this normal? Thanks in advance :)

Och hun! I just want to give u a big hug after reading that! Sounds like are going through a very tough time. On the other hand u seem very focused so as u said to me just keep thinkinh of how u will be in the near future :) xx

HI Scousemouse! I have been saving my milk for tea in work and i haven't added any veggies yet as I was just trying to get my head around the packs this first week initially anyway :) but i would say adding veg into the chilli would be much more appetising so I shall try that next week! thankyou...

I know I keep saying that over and over in my head too...PMA and all that jazz lol. Today was much better thankgod! I think I was just having carb withdrawal yesterday. I'm doing the 4 packs a day initially to try and get used to this sort of diet first. So ive started with porridge, then soup...

Oh jeese don't talk! I eat a ridiculously amount of carbs! I am doing 'slim and save' and thankfully so far so good :) even though it's only day 2 but still lol!!

Thanks everyone! I have to say yesterday was tough but luckily I have lovely family and friends who didn't mind listening to a wee moany me lol! Today was much much better so hopefully that continues :)

Hi Sonia! I'm on day 2 of slim and save! Finally plucked the courage up and bought the packs! I'm actually surprised already by some of the items, the shakes and soups are actually quite nice as is the spicy spaghetti :). I just hope I can stick to it so hopefully we can support each other a...

Hiya Taylor12! Just wanted to say hello and good luck! I have just started a VLCD diet as I was pretty much feeling the same as you! Though one thing I will say, don't be beating yourself up about not doing something sooner, you are doing something now. Stay focused on what you want and you...

Hi teebee! I have literally just started a VLCD (this is day, well night 2 :)). I researched for ages and like you it was more the economical side that was making it hard to commit to some. I finally settled on 'slim and save' and bought the months supply so that I would have no excuses to back...

Hi Ela ine! This is my first day of s&s and so far I'm finding it tough already :(. Do you find it getting easier?

Here goes! Hi everyone! I have been researching and talking about doing a TFR for a while now and finally manned up and ordered slim and save! It came today so I'm starting officially tomorrow! Quite nervous but very much determined as I am now the biggest I have ever been! Does anyone have any...

Hi! Could you let me know how you get on. I'm strongly thinking of trying it too after seeing some of the posts on here. Thanks!xx
