Happy Christmas Stormywave! Will look forward to seeing you back in January x

Hey! Good luck for your start in January and defo a good idea to low carb before hand, will make getting into ketosis a lot easier xxx

Hiya! I drink the chocolate, vanilla and banana shakes hot but the others cold.

Well done Bordersgirl, you will defo do the 3.6lb! x

Yay! Well done girlsbig, you must be so proud of yourself. Can't wait to be where you are! x

Good luck! x

I mix my shakes with a hand blender too, i do it in a measuring jug and its fine x

Wow! Well done Fatfighter, you have done so well! Hope your refeed goes well x

Awwww! well done Suze, thats great! x

50lb loss is amazing! Well done Bordersgirl x

Hiya! I did CD a few years back but this time round tried S&S purely for financial reasons. Not regretting my decision at all, the fact that you can have the meal packs plus the 200g veg makes it so much easier. I personally don't have a meal pack and/or veg every day but its nice to know i have...

Ha ha! I bought a load of the banana bars too! I loved them at the start but completely gone off them now and still got a lot left lol.

Hi Lara! The bars are a meal replacement. The raspberry ones have 215 cals, 25g total carbs and the chocolate ones have 220 cals and 22g total carbs. Higher than the s&s bars but i like them a lot more, especially the raspberry one!

Ha ha! Can't wait for the day i need a smaller size. Yeah been trying on some of my smaller clothes today actually and can defo tell the difference. Will start to do that more often i think as have started to develop an obsession with what the scales are telling me. I weigh daily anyway but...

Well i can do it up now which is a start but i'd also like to be able to breathe in it lol. I'm thinking need to lose a stone at least. Would love to lose another 2 stone by then but think my losses may be slowing now, lost 2lb this week!

I'll be having Christmas day and boxing day off plan and will eat whatever i want. Will be straight back on it on the 27th though as i will have 3 weeks to fit back in my uniform before my return to work! :eek:

Good luck Suze! I love the ultra slim bars too. They're on offer at tesco till the 19th, 2 boxes for £3.50 ... bargain! x

Hello Maka! This diet is fab, good luck with your start and well done for the weight you've already lost x

Well done Fatfighter! x

Hope you had a lovely birthday Brighteyes! You'll probably find that a lot of that 6lb gain is water and will come off quickly. Good luck with the restart. Lara you look fab in your profile pic! xxx

Hey Brighteyes! How are you? I'm getting on ok thanks, 24lb gone in 3 weeks ... yay! lol. How about you? xxx

Good luck! let us know how you go x

My before pic has pretty much same figure as me. This is fab, thank you! Very motivating to see how i might look at the end of my S&S journey x

Goodluck BigDave! x

Thank you Bordersgirl x

Thank you Mini! Think i've done it now. To change it after weigh ins do we go back to ticker site or can we do it via userCP? x

Lol i've tried to do a ticker loads of times and can't do it either!

I make mine in a jug and use a hand blender. On CD they say not to use boiling water as can affect the nutrients. Not sure with the S&S shakes but i do leave the water to cool for few minutes just in case x

I love hot shakes ... even my economy ones taste nice hot! lol. I just boil kettle, let it cool for few mintes then make up as normal. Enjoy! x

Well done Bordersgirl, you are doing so well! x

Yay! Well done Squidgy, thats fantastic x

Hello Surreysupertrooper! I used to do CD too. How are you finding it? Personally i preferred the CD shakes but then again I've only tried the economy ones, the premium one are mean't to be nice. The spag bol is lovely as are the bars. I think S&S offer a lot of variety and at a very reasonable...

Yay! Well done Kelly, I knew you'd be fab! Why don't you have a bar in the evening? You could cut it into little pieces and keep munching on that? 9lb is an excellent loss xxx

Thank you Kelly! Hope your first week has been ok and goodluck for tomorrow, I'm sure you'll do great xxx

You're welcome hun! Errrr really don't know about gravy etc, you'd have to be really careful with the carb content. Personally i wouldn't use gravy but don't know if any of the others do. Some people go by the list on Atkins and use that to guide them, maybe you could see if its on there. Are...

Hiya! Welcome to slim&save! Cutting out the carbs in preparation is a really good idea. You can have black tea and coffee but i know some people do use a splash of skimmed milk if you really can't take it black. Veg wise its the following: Maximum of 200grams of asparagus, broccoli, celery...

Lara I last did CD a couple of years ago but like you cost was an issue and also I work shifts so was sometimes difficult to go and see councilor. I miss the shakes though, they were lovely lol. x

You'll be in the 11's before you know it Brighteyes! Ta chick, feeling ok thanks. Energy has come back and feel less tired than i have done in ages. How you feeling? x

I used to do CD too and like the way food is reintoduced so think i'll follow that too ... eventually lol. I'm 9 days in and with the weight i need to lose i'm looking at being on this diet for 9-10 months so ages to go yet, but then again 10 months is nothing if it means an extra 10 years...

Ooohhh i see! Well done for getting to a healthy BMI. Are you going to reintroduce food gradually like on CD or just start eating but sensibly? What do they recommend on this diet? x Brighteyes 8lb is a fab loss, thats more than half a stone! There's not many diet you could achieve that kind of...

Hello Lara! How are you doing? I thought we could do 12 week without adding food? Thank you Christmasfairy! I ordered mine off ebay and they are in shiny silver packet so sounds like defo the economy ones. x

You too Brighteyes and i agree, this forum is great. Thank you Squidgy! Hope day 2 is going well. Thank you Bordersgirl, am breaking it into 2.5 stone goals so can say i'm quarter of the way there, half the way etc. I think you are fab and such a positive person x

Thats a good idea, wish i'd done that lol. Yes i have ALOT to lose ... about 10 stone! Scary! xxx

Thank you Bordersgirl and Brighteyes! Brighteyes there are some premium shakes too which are mean't to be a lot nicer x

Sorry Pheonix, was just expressing an opinion and really didn't mean to cause offence.

Dawn French looks stunning! I'm very inspired by her. Pauline Quirk has done amazingly well too but think she's starting to look a bit old and hagard, maybe gone a bit too far x

Hello Brighteyes! Glad you're feeling ok. I haven't tried the cottage pie, is it that bad? I ordered 21 spag bols but have a feeling i may get bored lol. I need to get through all these economy shakes before i get to try the nice flavours lol, can't wait! Had first weigh in today and lost 13lb...

Jealous! I want the premium shakes! lol xxx

5 miles?! Go you! Yeah try cutting it out and see what happens. I dunno if its a psychological thing for me ie i've just eaten and so i want to eat more just because i can ... even though i can't ... if that makes sense! lol xxx

Ha ha, know what you mean! Past couple of days i've had the veg but today i haven't and stuck to the shakes and actually feel less hungry! Keep going and well done for getting through today xxx

How did you get on today Squidgy? How you feeling? x

Hey Brighteyes! Glad you are doing well. I'm on day 7 and can honestly say that today is the first day I've not felt hungry at all ... it does get easier. I think you will be fine with the pepper. Didn't know we could have tomatoes, are you using the list from Atkins too? x

Ooohhh loving the lemon moose idea, thanks Bordersgirl! Suze my friend actually said that. She said people tend to look at baby rather than looking at you. Think i just need to bite the bullet and go ... its just my legs ... my awful orange peel legs!!! x

MrsAH I too want to take my little girl swimming. She is 11 months old and never been because i'm too embarrassed. I really don't want her to have to miss out because of my size. 5 and a half stone? If you keep losing the way you have been, you'll be there before you know it xxx

Thanks mollyjak! That might be worth a go. I'm gonna try it warm too, see if that helps. x Squidgy i think the ones in the silver are economy ones. I know the ones i bought were really cheap but they were on offer. Have you got any of the new flavours in yours eg choc banana, caramel etc? x

I'm so sorry for your loss.If you can stick to the diet whilst going through this you can do it whatever happens! I'm sure your MIL would be very proud of you. :hug99:

Yeah completely agree! I lost about 2.5 stone too on CD but I too went back to eating everything i'd eaten before and piled it back on and then some lol. I'm determined to do it this time too. I go back to work in jan and need to fit in my uniform lol. I have a lot to lose. Gonna aim for 10...

Thanks hun! Oh don't ... the lemon is vile and i still have about 26 of them to get through lol. In fact nearly started a thread the other day to see if anyone had any ideas about how to make them taste better but i think they are beyond help lol. How you finding the diet this time round? How...

Well done Stormy! 17lb in 2 weeks is amazing! Fingers crossed for you next week x

Wow! 13lb in 8 days is excellent, well done! I have my first weigh in tomorrow. I've got loads of the silver packets to get through, can't wait to order the other ones lol x

Think Fuffs and Bordersgirl have given brilliant advice. Water is defo the key for me! Goodluck for tomorrow x

Goodluck for monday Squidgy , you'll be fine! Gbee, yeah its lovely isn't it? Tried it with the vanilla one too and that was nice aswell. When are you starting? x

I'm a nurse too! Are you hospital based? I used to do permanent nights but thankfully don't have to do them any more. Ha ha yes very busy, think this little girl thinks she's 16 too! Right little madam and only 11 months lol. Glad you're doing well too x

Work on a saturday? What do you do? Yeah thats a good idea booking first few days off. I'm on maternity leave at the moment so know what you mean about being in the house lol. Not been too bad at all, had slight headache this morning but nothing major. The test for me was tonight ... I sat there...

Thank you kelly, will sort ticker out. Hello Brighteyes! I'm on day 4 now and feeling less hungry thank God! lol. The wobbly, light headed feeling does pass quite quickly. Did you eat a lot of carbs before you started? Drinking lots of water helped me. Hope you feel better tomorrow! Stormy, I'm...

Bordersgirl have you taken your measurements? You are probably still losing inches even if the scales aren't representing it. x

Kelly I think we'll both do well ... its all about the PMA! How do you do those ticker things then? Christmasfairy thats a great loss! Just had a banana bar and it was lovely! Felt really naughty eating it cos it tasted so good lol. x

Hello Kelly! Had slight headache this morning but nothing major. Also just had delivery of the spag bol and banana bars i ordered so very excited! lol. How are you doing? Did you order any bars? Have you tried them yet? x

Hi mich81! I love those Hippos and say well done for just eating the one! lol. Hopefully you're fully into ketosis now so should get easier x

Yeah I'm really impressed with the variety on S&S, hopefully will stop me getting bored for a bit! How much have you lost in the 3 weeks? Hope you don't mind me asking but just trying to gauge how much i'm likely to lose in november. As long as you keep your meal low carb and high protein you...

Hello Christmasfairy! When did you start the diet? How are you finding it? Had a look on the Atkins website and lamb is listed in the allowed meats so should be fine. Mmmmm hungry now! lol

Yeah was wondering about the bars as when i was on Cd I couldn't have bars for the first 2 weeks. When i ordered the shakes they came with a leaflet saying you could have 3 pieces of fruit but can't seem to see anything about fruit now on S&S website, has it changed?

I ordered some spag bol last night, can't wait to try it! Did you add veg? Hoping it comes tomorrow so can have that instead of my usual fri night takeaway lol. Have you tried the bars yet?

Have a chocolate shake instead lol. I made it with hot water this morning and it was lovely.

Thank you Cherry-blossom and good luck to you too. Ha ha the dreams are mad, when i did Cambridge diet I was constantly dreaming about and craving donner kebab lol, I don't even like them!

Thank you Bordersgirl! Squidgybum, i love your name lol. I started on tuesday and so far feel fine, no headaches or anything. I do feel hungry at times and its difficult when preparing food for the family but i really need to do this now. I think drinking lots of water helps with the hunger and...

Awww thank you! She certainly is into everything lol. Oooh holiday is a great motivation, where you off to? How much do you want to lose in total?

Yeah defo need to change my relationship with food. My daughter is 11 months old and want to lose the weight before she starts school, hate to think of her getting picked on for having a fat mommy. What made you decide to start? I notice you're from Birmingham...me too!

Hello Kellym2602. Yes please would love a buddy especially as we're starting together give or take a day or 2 lol. Think tomorrow will be my test as fridays have always been fat fridays where we have a takeaway and whatever else we fancy.

Hello everyone! Just thought i'd Say hi as i've been a lurker for a while but finally took the plunge and registered today. I'm currently on day 3 of my S&S diet and so far so good. Was dreading starting as when I have done VLCD in the past i have ended up with banging headaches till in ketosis...
