Hi, do you mind if I gatecrash? I’m starting today. I’m 16st 2 ish .... need to go to my daughters to find out actual weight as I don’t own scales as I get obsessive about them! I need to lose 6 stone but can’t think that far ahead so going to concentrate on mini goals. Looking forward to losing...

Hi, do you mind if I join your thread? I started vlcd (shake that weight) on tues - weighing 15st 2lb, want to lose at least 5 stone. Like many on here I have struggled with weight for a long time, tried Cambridge diet and exante and lost weight but put it all on and more every time I stopped-...

Hi Jax, we haven't officially met yet, tho I have read all your posts and have hijacked your page - Jeanette and shoebedoo have been very welcoming. It's great news that you only put on 3lb - you must be feeling very positive about getting back on to your diet and losing that and more. My...

Hi Jeanette, hope you have a lovely day out with your mum. Steak will be fine I'm sure, with some veg or salad but no chips lol x Hope everyone has a good day x

Hi Jeanette and shoe, thanks for your kind words, I'm in bed with a glass of water, just had my 3rd shake and have now managed to drink 2litres water - or will do when this glass is finished, so that's better. Planning on staying at home tomorrow as I have no classes so can do my prep from home...

Afternoon ladies, just been sent home from work - totally floored with some flu- like virus. So in bed haven just had my 2nd shake of day. I've struggled with water today - literally haven't stopped long enough to drink so only had 700ml. Got 400 in glass beside bed and will try to drink...

Have now had choc, strawberry and banana shakes and pleasantly surprised by taste of all 3. Didnt order vanilla as I don't often like that flavour - can taste too artificial. I don't drink tea or coffee anyway so not missing that, have tried CD shakes frozen like ice cream before so will try...

Thanks shoebedoo, it's been easier than I remembered it being from last time, or maybe I'm just in a better place mentally to make it work. Jeanette it sounds like you've had a busy day! You're not painting the outside of your house yourself are you? Not sure whether that would be incredible...

Thanks Jeanette, on lunch time shake now, managed 1.5 litres of water so far too so not doing too bad! Been kept too busy to feel hungry so that's good too . Hope you have a good day x

Day 1: woke at 5.30am, excited to get started! I'ma list writer so made a list of when I'm going to have shakes, what times I'm going to drink water and how much. Weighed and measured myself. Decided I'm only going to weigh weekly and measure monthly, have a tendency to get obsessed with numbers...

Thanks for the warm welcome and encouragement ladies. I will be focused, organised and doing the diet to the letter. Looking forward to getting started tomorrow, hoping to stay busy at work all week ( I teach at a college) so won't notice the hunger etc too much and will slip into ketosis by...

Hi, I've read all your posts and you seem friendly, knowledgeable, motivated and real, so hope you don't mind if I kind of tag along for the next 3 or 4 months? I'm starting tomorrow morning on shake that weight - I have tried LL, Cambridge, celebrity slim and exante in the past. Lost 3 stone...

Thanks Holly, good to hear that you have found the first few days ok, I am finding it hard to remember to drink, at this rate wont have nearly reached the 3litre target. Must get myself more organised so that i make sure i get the water in! Good luck - only 2 more days till your first weigh in...

Hi. this is my first day of TS. Excited, nervou, worried, stressed out my head that i wont be bale to do i, that i will let myself down (again) that i wont lose weight....all of the daft ideas that go through your head. I have put on several stone over the past 6 years - now weigh 14st4lbs and...

thanks supersmiley, good luck with your journey - you should have a really good start to your weight loss by the time i get back off holiday and start mine - hopefully i will be able to use your weight loss as motivation. Keep focused this week - good luck x

hi everyone, I am new to exante, although i have tried Cambridge and celebrity slim before so not new to VLCD. Lost a couple of stone with previous diets then stopped, returned to old eating habits and promptly put it all on again and then some! This time I HAVE to succeed. I have struggled with...

hi, this is the end of my first week on SS. been a bit tougher than i thought - not because of hunger, havent really felt hungry at all. Just found it hard to get over the emotional desire to eat. Admit i gave in on Wed - had a snicker, then felt really really awful about it. in the past this...
