Gooooooo K.Tot :p

Hey guys! Iv been calorie counting for a while and have lost almost 4 stones doing so :) Im in a dilemma with finding things to eat at work on my lunch breaks, when ur on restricted calories it really limits the stuff you can eat and for almost every single lunch break at work iv been having...

Oh thanks for the allergy reminder, will definitely check the label before i buy anything! Il give holland and barret a try and see if they have anything

Hey guys, Iv been trying to get more protein in my diet recently but due to lots of allergies I have, Iv been finding myself eating chicken 24/7 lol .. Iv been seeing alot of recipes around using protein powders which means I can increase my protein without eating the entire worlds supply of...

Thanx for the replies guys .. It definitely seems as though it might be worth signing up! Gonna check out the book packs on amazon but if that fails, i think im gonna take the plunge and sign up! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hello all! Im a newbie to weightwatchers but not to minimins .. i have previously done slim&save but came off it a while ago due to not being able to stick to it very well. A friend of mine is doing ww and it sounds pretty good. I like the structure of having to stick to a certain amount of...

Thanx for the responses =D .. i decided to just stick to the 4 packs a day. I dont think id trust myself having chicken, il start adding marinades etc, then il start thinking 'ooh 150g wont hurt .. 200g wont hurt' .. Just gonna stick to the plan and try and keep focussed!

Dont worry about it lol I dont mind! I lost 7lb week one and 6lbs week two without slim&save .. the 5lbs with slim&save was over 2 weeks. It naturally slows down after week 1/2 anyways. My own vlcd was just eating what i want but sticking to 600 cals a day and trying to just drink water. It...

So far iv lost a total of 1st 5lbs but have only lost 5lbs being on slim&save. Id definately recommend it, it makes life a lot easier for me, i was doing my own vlcd (just sticking to eating 600cals of anything in the day) but this gives u all your nutrients, no calorie counting, and the foods...

Iv been having a mixture but im quite picky so i think im just gonna stick to the few i like, Im in love with the crispy choc shake but just have it with a little milk and mostly water. Spag bol, oatmeal, museli bars. Its not a great selection but its all stuff i love so i dont mind eating the...

Thaaaanx x

End of week 4 .. 3lb loss! I suppose i should be somewhat happy with that but i guess im just an impatient person and would love it to come off faster lol

Mornin Tara! Iv been rather absent lately due to working like a dog lol .. well done on getting this far and resisting the cake at work!! You're cookie looks beauuuutiful! Im gonna try it as soon as i get the energy to peel myself off the sofa lol!

Im already on 4 packs a day (greedy guts!) .. iv only just started adding in the veg though. Iv decided to just carry on and find the motivation to get on with it! Weigh in tomorrow and im nervous! I lost 3lbs so far which was great but then i wokep today and had gained 2lb over night :( .. 1lb...

Yep i think so too, i took them out after and few secs but they were still abit liquidy so i put em in for a few more and they were ruined! Its all about gettin the timing right! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Yep thats what im worried about, dont want food creeping up! I think im gonna give it a try and see what happens. In my 2 weeks of homemade vlcd'ing, i lost 7lbs and 6lbs but since starting s&s my 1st week was 2lbs and this week will probably be the same so i think i may need a change because...

I made the porridge bikkies in the microwave like someone advised and they went really dry and chewy, had to throw em away! Lol .. Still determined to make it work so im gonna have an attempt at doin them in the oven next and see how that goes! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Thanx tara :) .. Still stuggling with cravings though :( Been thinkin about things and am thinkin of mayb makin some modifications to my diet. Im havin quite a few problems with cravings etc to the point where AT LEAST once a day il b close to tears missing my fave foods and itl leave me with a...

C'mon Tara, we're all dying to hear your results!!!

Well done KT!! :D

OOOH!! ok, im sooooo trying this later on! I love the oatmeal so it should be scrumptious!

thanx guys! .. This week is looking better thank God! 2lbs gone so far this week with my WI day coming up on tuesday so hopefully this week will get me motivated!

Good luck for when the OH comes home! It can be quite hard living with someone who's eating what they want, when they want but you get used to it. I even cooked my OH's dinner tonight (garlic chicken with southern fried wedges and a mountain of veg) and it was fine :)

Hey Tara, im doin ok thanx :) .. Been getting on quite well but today has been abit of a bad one for some unknown reason! .. Iv been on the verge of crying all day simply because i wanted to eat some bread! lol (silly i know!) .. I havent been feeling hungry or anything, it was just my brain...

The truffa bar does contain almonds, it states it in the ingredients list :( .. I sooooo wanted to try them but im allergic! Morning tara! Well done on your loss so far! :D

:D .. Hope it goes ok for u, and i hope ur friend becomes more supportive because thats what friends are for! To support one another!

hmmm its a hard one hun .. Id go for black tea personally, and id bring along my sweetener and pop a few in. Or even just have a tea with milk. We have an allowance of milk during the day so just make sure you dont have any other milk in the day (eg. with shakes or porridge)

wow! Well done .. what a great loss!!

:D .. woohoo! 100% Slim 'n' Savin!

Day 6 and im back on track after my cheating yesterday :s .. the scales were kind to me this morning aswell which was a surprise so it looks like my cheating didnt do me too much harm! Hope everyones day is going well! Xx

Hey Nunny, welcome and well done on getting to day 3! .. Im on day 5 myself. Dont worry about the slip up too much, i slipped up today .. just gonna give myself a slap on the wrist and get on with it! Id say have the chicken, see how u feel .. if you need it, eat it .. Its within the allowance...

Hey Tara, sorry to hear uv still got your headache! Try and take it easy and hopefully itl go away soon! Xx

When i started dieting 3 weeks ago, i was working out everyday (only a dvd at home but it was the 30 Day Shred and anyone who knows this, knows its hardcore lol) .. I like to try and workout on every spare day i have and even in the evening after work if iv got enough energy left .. I wanna get...

I bloody hope so borders! I really need a pick-me-up so the scales better be on my side this week!

I usually weigh everyday, but only take a proper note of my weight loss at the end of a week .. its too hard for me to stay off the scales lol Its the first thing i do every morning!

Good luck!!! Make sure u come on the forum for your daily motivation! Xx

Hey all, been abit absent lately! Made it to day 5 thank God! I must admit, i had abit of a cheat today, very naughty i know but im not gonna dwell on it, not gonna let it bring me down .. Im completely mentally back on track now and am going 100% tomorrow! .. I had my weigh in today and only...

Welcome bananas!! Good luck on your journey :) :)

oh wow .. i didnt even know coke zero was allowed!

Well done tara! Good luck for day 3 Xx

Iv had a dry mouth for the past 2 days too! I thought it was just me! lol

Welcome!! Im similar to tara, im just at the end of day 3 so far but im finding surprisingly easier than i thought i would simply coz im enjoying what im eating/drinking. Im totally addicted to the chocolate crispy shake and spag bol! lol .. Not a huge fan of the bars but they're still good. The...

Arrrr thanx guys! .. The grass is always greener on the other side so hopefully tomorrow will b a great day :)

Day 3: Not been an amazing day but could have been better. The whole weight thing as mentioned earlier made a bad start to the day and other non-diet related things r bringin me down too :( .. But hey! On a positive note, iv drank 2l of water today which is quite an achievement for me as i...

Im a million times better now thanx tara :) .. Still a little bit of a headache but nothin to complain about! Not too happy with the scales though..been yoyo'ing up 1lb and down 1lb for the past 7 days now so id b happy see some kind of loss soon!! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

You too tara!!

Im drinking the summer fruits as we speak .. im not a fan tbh. I just find it too watery and not thick/creamy enough, similar to the standard chocolate shake. The only shake i seem to like is the crisp choc shake, even with water its still reaaaaly tasty so i think im just gonna order 2 weeks...

Massive well done on ur first day! =D Hope u feel better soon too! .. I loved the porridge myself, i only used a little bit of milk (so i could use some in my crispy choc shake later on) then topped up with water. I microwaved for a few seconds at a time adding bits of water when needed. Not...

Thanx .. You too! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Me too, been on paracetamol since i woke up and it hasnt helped :( lets hope this headache goes by tomorrow coz im sure my boss wont b happy with me pulling a sickie! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Hey guys! On day 2 and doin quite well :) (despite feelin like crap all day, pounding headache and a general feelin of death) Just curious, how long did it take you to finally reach ketosis? Are there any ways of recognising ketosis other than peeing on a stick? Does ketosis REALLY get rid...

Me too scotbean lol im on 4 but im only on day 2 .. Its goin really well but dont think i could cope on 3, i HAVE to have something between dinner and bed Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Iv been feeling awful too tara, no nausea though just a pounding headache and groggyness .. Hopefully itl pass v. soon! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

Well, im on day 2 and not had any problems despite me feeling poorly all day :D .. I tried the cottage pie for dinner and contrary to things iv heard about it, it was actually alright! (Hardly exquisite but u know, edible) Only had a couple of hunger pangs so i downed a load of water and felt...

ouch! sounds painful! ... Hope u feel better soon. x

Good luck!! :)

Not a fan of vanilla tbh .. Il take your word for it and try it with water tomorrow!

hmm see i just bought a pint of skimmed and im worried im not gonna use it all. Dont wanna have to buy a fresh pint everytime i want a crispy shake!

I mixed mine just using milk but in future i think im gonna either do half and half or 1/4 milk 3/4 water, just for a little bit of creaminess .. It really was gooooooorgeous! Im guessin itl still b ok with just water though seeing as skimmed milk is practically water anyways lol

omg .. i have just tasted the crispy choc shake. Its the best thing i have every tasted ever!!!!!!!

Ok .. (Puts the mug down and slowly steps away) .. luckily it wasnt a big mug and i didnt drink it all!

Thaaaanx! One question though, as we speak, im drinkin a mug of green tea infused with honey .. is that naughty or allowed?? Its only a really small cup coz i didnt know if i was allowed to have it or not!

oh see i tried a lemon one, took one bite and just couldnt finish it lol .. The flavours lovely but i just dont like the texture lol .. I might give it another try on another day and see how i feel then but i just couldnt finish it!

I cant wait to try the porridge! Think im gonna have it for brekky tomorrow, im hearin so many good things about it! .. Im gonna add a dash of cinnamon to mine :)

Well, day one is coming to an end! Just had the spag bol and it was rather pleasant!! Only managed to fit in 3 packs today as its been a reaaaaly hectic day (might squeeze in a crispy choc shake b4 bed just coz im dying to try it lol) .. But i might just try and leave it, im not gonna b hungry...

Iv just started today :) im on 4 packs a day, iv seen alot of people on 3 too, not so many on 4. Im hoping to see how i get on with 4 and see if i could go down to 3 if i could handle it. With the veg allowance, 3 a day could be possible i think!

Oooh me too! Im gonna throw some cinnamon in and see how it tastes! :)

Iv heard mixed things about the porridge so im not sure what to expect. Im a big lover of porridge so im hoping il love it or itl have been a waste of money!

Its been ok :) .. No complaints so far! Iv had to go straight out after work so iv still got my dinner and another shake to have when i get home! Not feelin too hungry either (probably because im full to the brim of water!) ..

Thats exactly what i do! I cant stand tap water so i buy 1.5l bottles and im keepin 2 in the fridge at a time and keepin my eye on how much water im using for my green teas .. Iv still got almost a whole bottle still to go in the fridge! U should try the water flavours on the sns website, they...

Well done sis, ur a superstar!!!

good luck tara!! :)

Hey Skinny Tot :) I thought ud like the name :) .. OOOh i bet the wafers are beaut! Its goin ok so far, but iv only done about 1.5l of water so far, got another 1.5l to do! It just doesnt seem possible! I got my water flavouring stuff and it actually makes it sooo much easier to drink water but...

Good luck! I think ur better off coolin the water 1st because you're meant to drink them straight away so u dont want to leave it in the fridge for too long!!

Thanx everyone! I think im just gonna experiment and see what works best for me. Im gonna try it with half milk n half water i think!

Phew its goin well :) just on my lunch break at work drinkin a chocolate shake :) .. Tastes abit wierd but its reaaaly nice lol its usually the evenings when my cravings get going but thankfully il b at my dad-in-laws this eve so i wont have the opportunity to get to my fridge lol

Hi! I know the instructions say to use 125ml milk with the crispy choc shake but i know people mix it with water so do you substitute the 125ml milk for 125ml water ooooor do you use the 250-300ml water recommended for the regular shakes? (If that makes any sense what-so-ever lol) Thanx...

I wil definately be ranting if i need to lol .. Iv already been on my own homemade vlcd (eating 600 cals of crap) for the past 2 weeks so im well used to not eating very much, just dont know how im gonna adjust to this diet! Iv got my S'n'S Journey in the forum so itl be gettin regularly posted...

Well done hun! Hope its as easy for me when i start tomorrow!

I got my shaker from tesco but there werent many left when i went. They must b popular! Get a hand blender thinggy from tesco its only £4ish and ul get a much smoother shake

IM STARTING TOMORROW! .. Been waiting for my s&s stuff since tuesday so im verrrry excited! Good luck with your first day, im hoping because il be at work, itl help to keep me busy!

Slim and save gives u 550-600 cals from 4 meals so u get to eat more but get the same cals lol

wow .. i thought most people would say to wait! lol Mayb i will just get on with it then! Yeah everything on the website is suitable for veggies.

Woohoo! It came!! =D .. (no swearing required). Now i have another dilemma! .. Do i wait until Saturday when iv got the day off work so i can take the day to get used to it and see how i get on or just get started straight away tomorrow when il be at work and just hope for the best? .. What do...

I think i might just do that next time. I only ordered a weeks worth for my first week, just to see how i get on with the diet but il deffo order more and use city link next time! I just didnt fancy paying the extra tbh (yep, im stingey lol) I was speaking online to a s&s customer services...

ohhhh, my eyes are working faster than my brain! .. Any loss is a good loss hun! Anythins better than a gain dont forget :)

Hiya kt :) .. I was wondering why you werent on here yet! .. Im sure ul do much better than 3lbs :) Xx

@Borders..The chocolate truffa bar has almonds in it. But the nutritional info wasnt correctly labelled so theyr changing it and compensating me :) @Tara .. ONLY 2 stones? Thats great! Iv managed a stone on my own but need to shed an extra 2 and hopefully s&s will help! Good luck! :)

I know KT! (Exhale .. ) You know what im like, im having a bad couple of days and takin it out on royal mail lol

Yeah i used the online chat thinggy and was told theres nothing i can do really, just hope it comes tomorrow. Theyr ever so helpful so i didnt wanna start moaning or anythin, they already agreed to send me 10 free bars to replace 7 im expecting because i didnt realise they had nuts in .. and i...

Grrrrrr .. (Rant time!) I ordered my s&s on saturday, expecting it yesterday .. It didnt come. Expected it today .. It didnt come. Theres no way of tracking it and i just wanna get started!! Since when did it take so long to send something 1st class!!!?? .. And breathe .. (Rant Over)

Thats an amazing loss .. well done :)

Hiya Suze .. Just been reading through your diary. Very well done on your losses!!! Im starting sns tomorrow (hopefully, if the postman arrives early enough) and your diary has been very inspirational! Good luck with losing the rest! Xx

Heey! Just been reading through your diary, congrats on your 10lb loss! Im starting tomorrow hopefully so i hope i get as much luck as you!

I not tried either yet but iv heard good things about the chilli. Iv got cottage pie on its way to me so i hope its good!

I personally have gone for 4 a day with a shake for brekky, bar for lunch, meal for dins and a shake in the evenin. I got the porridge so i may have that for brekky and a shake for lunch. I got a big mixture of meals so I can test em all out. But i stuck to the 2 chocolate shakes and the...

Hey y'all! As a newbie, im quite interested in what choices other people are making when it comes to combinations .. I was sat for about half an hour trying to decide what to choose, 3 a day? 4 a day? which meals/shakes to pick? .. Got there in the end but am wondering what everyone chooses...

Welcome! .. Im just about to start s'n's too :) .. I ordered mine yesterday so im expecting it on Tuesday. Im doin 4 a day (shake for brekky, bar for lunch, meal for dins and a shake evening snack) Il see how i get on and if I can hack it i might go down to 3 with some veg. Just go with the...

Iv got glass ones from tesco. I know scales can b temperamental at times so i always weigh 2/3 times in a row to make sure its right

Thanx guys! .. Im hoping it's as good as it sounds! .. Iv managed to lose close to a stone on my own in 2 weeks so i reeeeaalllllly hope its worth the money lol!! Gonna do a week and see how i get on :)

Thanx guys! I kno its gonna b hard but as long as i can make it through the first few days i (hope) il be fine :)

Thank yooooou! Im sure il have a million questions and rants over time!

Hey guys! After nearly 2 weeks of trying my hardest to cope on my homemade vlcd (basically eating 600cals of crap a day) Iv taken the plunge and ordered my 1st week of Slim & Save! :happy036: It was becoming too much hard work trying to balance my carbs, fat etc and am glad that I don't...

Hiya katie!! Ur doin soooo well so keep it up :) Xx

Thanx for the replies everyone :)

Hey everyone! Just thought id pop by and introduce myself .. Im Aisha im 25 and waaaaaay over weight! You know how the story goes, I was a size 12, blinked and i was an 18 :cry: .. tried diets that just dont work but calorie counting seems to work well for me as I still get to eat what i like...

Im currently calorie counting but i think thats as far as it goes. I dont intentionally keep en eye out for how much fat etc im eating but I try not to eat too much crap. I eat alot of chicken and salad, and when i say a lot, i mean A LOT! so i guess my diet is low in fat and the 1st place i...

I tend to eat chicken salads, chickens nice on calories (providing you dont have toooooo much) and you can have a ton of salad too!

I like to try and get in as much protein as possible too but with my allergy to fish, nuts and eggs (very unlucky i know) I eat a lot of chicken .. and i mean alot! .. Its decent on calories and a good source of protein. Other than that, id probably suggest protein shakes!

Hello Moo! .. Im calorie counting too and im not too far off that 700 cals you used to do. I think its down to peoples personal preference and getting the balance right of not eating too many calories and not putting your body into starvation mode. Also to make sure we're eating the right...

1. To not have to buy massive tops to cover my tummy 2. To fit into my old clothes again! 3. To feel better about myself

I think it depends on what type or person you are. Some people like to join clubs so that theyr not on their own, some like to do it on their own! Choose whats right for you!
