I think that's what I was trying to say in a round about fashion! If they don't want to stick rigidly to the plan then they ain't really doing the plan! Do u think it then be a case that these folk that aren't sticking to plan use the vlcd or other section of this forum? I'm not saying this...

It depends if you mean "allowed" following strictly the s & s plan. I think through other threads it's been established that very few actually stick to the rigid plan set by ANY of the diet groups (s&s,exante,ll,etc) and still manage to lose successfully. The point here is, should people be...

I find that they can give me a bit of a sore tummy but depends what I've eaten before hand. They are (well the truffa bars) wicked and a lifesaver to me :-)

Hmmm not sure it would mix well enough without lumps! What about a quick whizz in the blender and then a stir?!!

I didnt like the "mush" so I'd make it with water in my shaker. Don't u have a shaker?!x

lol! I'm sure the weight loss comment will come v soon! Where r u on your journey?x

Of course it is you have done fantastically well. I do think after being big for so long there is a part of us who just wants to blend in. Not stand out for a change. Just be "normal". You enjoy yourself. At least slipping into your LBD will be a lot easier at this weight!!

Yes it was a little embarrassing however as soon as she realised it was me everything was like it was before. I WANTED to change the exterior drastically and I feel I've done that. Tbh the interior has changed quite a lot as well being on this plan. I do know wot u mean tho

A friend whom I haven't seen for about 6months walked right past me today! Granted my hair is quite different but it was the weight loss that she commented on. It feels extremely satisfying that all the blood sweat and tears (which there has been many) is paying off!

This is the kind of diet I want to live by Phoenix. It's very healthy and balanced and doesn't contain trigger foods of any sort

Oooh me me me!! I am slightly ahead as far as I have about a weeks packs (if that) left. I have no money for treadmill but will be power walking up to a run every day after school run. I'll look up website. Perhaps they won't allow us anywhere except calorie counting given we won't be following...

I don't see an issue there whatsoever. Was it tasty? I'm always looking for things on the high st so if I'm out n about I don't need to cheat!

Whatever happens enjoy yourself be as sensible as u can and I'm sure you will be back on track in no time!

hope it's good news x

That should say NOT GIVEN IN!! Hahahahaha :-)

Well it's been a hard days night as Paul McCartney would say! I have stayed strong and given in to the carbs although it was close at various points. I'm learning that food doesn't even give me the initial buzz it used to. I promised myself not to weigh till Sunday but I couldn't wait. My weight...

Thanks do much for your help!

I appreciate the post. am not a nasty person. I wish you luck also.

Hi I'm currently on a vlcd abd have lost 2.5 stone and want to start eating in a controlled healthy way. I am an old hat at low carbing and have always believed south beach to be a "healthy" Atkins diet. Can someone give me some brief outlines to the plan? I'd like to make an informed choice...

Thanks Pheonix. I will let you know where I end up! Speak soon x

I have and I didn't mean to. I don't want to bring it up again but I don't want to go without saying Cheerio xx

Hi pheonix, Just wanted to say Cheerio and thanks for all your support. I really am sorry if I've upset people. Good luck and i hope you get to where you want to be on your "journey" x

And he just seems so accepting and non judgmental doesn't he? he is a luurvly man!

Does he look like Jesse?!! If so book me in...I only live in Glasgow so it's not far!!! lol

Yes. I can't allow myself carbs. Not refined anyway. I need ketosis to stay slim. I say Atkins but prob more south beach type of thing with lots of veggies and some fruit. I can't go back to bead rice pasta or any such like! x

I'm kind of doing the same. I think I'm going to move to atkins...it's too expensive if your not moving. Keep in touch whatever you do x

Pheonix please try and stay focused. This is something that's going to happen again in the future. It's about recognising that you have changed sooooo much about the unhealthy attitude you used to have around food, but realising that it's human nature that we sometimes need to give ourselves a...

I wouldn't suggest going hammer and tong but I think toning excersises and swimming will tone the excess fat and even if it slows your loss down it will improve the "look" of your body?! I take on board the probable muscle weight thing tho.

Holy crap! Is all that coke good for you moosh? It's awfy gassy?! I canny c your pics :-((( cos I use my iPhone. I'm sure you look amazing x

I can't see how having a can of tuna v a pack can make any sort of difference to your weight loss?! Ur doing great pheonix don't beat yourself up x

I don't think it matters how your trying to lose weight, moving tour body has to help. If I'm honest it took me 6 weeks before I could even face moving but I now do sit ups most nights, I walk every single day and I started swimming yesterday. It changes and sculptures your body as you shift The...

Aaaargghhh. Can't face shakes. Tried choc crispie in mush form. Canny do it. Ended up having another bar. I've had no where near enough today and I feel crap. Not cos I'm hungry but cos I think it's time to move to Atkins. I'd wanted to get to 11st before I moved but for my own health I think...

Yip paracetamol and brufen and water. It will pass

How do I make the mush?

I use various tablet sweetener which have been fine. Powdered sweetener NOOOOOO!!!

well I'm struggling to eat today. Am trying to remind myself I have to as it will hinder my loss. I just don't feel hungry. Am working tomorrow which is fine for the eating but I just can't drink enough when I'm on a 9 hour shift with only 2 breaks.....which means a stonker of a headache on...

I use a sports cap water bottle and keep refilling with tap and a splash of sugar free diluting juice. Have done this since week 2 and still lost at same rate. I keep two different flavours going in my bag all day so I don't get too fed up with the same Taste. Means my fluid stays regular and I...

That's interesting however it's a money spinner!!

Feeling amazing today. Am not beating myself up about last night and I haven't weighed myself!! I'm going to blitz the 12 stones and get to the 11's this month. For sure!!!

Well I've ruined the next few days as far as losses go. I'm writing it off and going to really try not to weigh till next Sunday. I've eaten so much I can't face writing it down. Feel like crap now but determined to keep at it tomorrow. I WILL be slim

Yes. Or at least a bar! I actually really enjoyed it. And I looked.....kinda normal! I only managed 6 lengths cos I was in a rush but still.....

Your boobs don't "slap" your belly as your stepping out the bath!!

come on. Please. Be serious. You lot need HELP!!!! x

I was flippin 100% today up till 4.30pm. Went swimming and everything! Then I'm not even going to list all I've eaten. It's erased from my memory bank lol. Thanks girlies xxx

Well. There's always tomorrow!....x

It's wondered if anyone has thought Bout what they will eat once they have finished losing. I know there will be an element of weaning but I mean after that. When it's just us and food. What will your daily menu look like?!

Much as I think your great, my biggest craving of late has been a cupcake. A Massive gorgeous light and fluffy cupcake loaded with delicious buttercream. And every time I see your avatar I'm cruelly reminded lol!! Aaarrrrrggggghhhhh I can't escape the cupcake!!!

I think it was pheonix who said that sometimes its good when we do something like this as it reminds us how bad out bodies feel when we overrate or eat the wrong stuff x

Yes I looked 9 months gone in my first pic! I had no idea I looked so bad! My sit ups have defo helped that!! Thanks for your replies, I'm still rubbish at taking a compliment!

well I weighed 12 11.5 this morning. This means I've only put on 1.5lbs for my chippy so that's good. I did no drink nearly enough fluid yesterday and now have a stonker of a headache. I was just so busy at work I only got my two breaks and I can't drink inbeteen on the shop floor :-( I feel...

that's the right attitude pink lady, a new day and don't forget how well you have done already.

Can we all just remember to space the water thro the day? It's v dangerous to drink large amounts of water at one go.

Well I did not know that and perhaps I've just been lucky. This is the first time I've avoided all carbonated drinks-I just feel water is better for me.

Really?! I've always been fine with any diet drinks! Suppose everyone is different. I thought it was only carbs that brought u out

I would have some chicken salad and allow yourself some diet coke. U won't come out of ketosis and you will feel soooooo righteous tomorrow.

Only had one caramel pack and a bar so far as its stock take at work and I just don't have time! Am worried due to debauchery last night followed by not eating enough?!!....won't b finished till midnight :-((

Your doing amazingly well x

I should b doing the same instead of shoving chippys down my gullet I'm sure U will do it x

Keep fluid with you at all times. I sip throughout the day. It does get a bit better. I use a 750 ml sports cap water bottle and use a splash of sugar free diluting juice to taste and refill this 4 times a day. Good luck!

Well I messed up last night. I didn't even want to!! Family had a chippy and I gave in and it wasn't even nice. I had diet iron bru and a Ferrero Rocher too. I spent the rest of the night in bed suffering feeling sick and bloated. It was a disgusting feeling. I will not be repeating this EVER...

I had a chippy last night and 1 Fererro Rocher. After being PERFECT all day. Didn't even really want it. It was there. Felt ill all night and was not worth it. I'll now put on around 3lbs of water weight and feel bloated and crap and need to get back into ketosis. NEVER again....

1. To prove to myself I'm worth being healthy slim and happy. 2. To be able to have a full and exciting life that doesn't revolve around food. 3. So my boys grow up with a healthy slim mum who doesn't use her weight as an excuse not to do things. 4. Cos I don't want to waste another second of my...

I'm gonna barf if there's any more talk of bloody pickled eggs!....WRONG! lol

Ok thanks! X

Am using my iPhone for minimins and don't think getting the most out of it. I have no idea how to look at people's profile or indeed as them to be friends. I'd like to be "friends" with all of you but dont know how to do it?! I can't see people's pics and I feel I'm left out :,-( lol x

Thanks! I worry that I've lost too quickly?! I do have a quick metabolism and I'm a fast loser. Can I ask why your profile pic is of kat?!x

My thread like this was removed so I guess it ain't allowed :-(

Listen, it feels like that sometimes. I'm kinda over the really bad stage now and it's just a way of life now. Keep in your head why you want to lose the weight and why you don't want to be overweight. You deserve to be slim and healthy. And your the Only one who can do it... Good luck x

I drink lots through the day and I wondered why my breath wasn't as bad as it was at the very start.... Must be the fact I'm wee'ing like 100 times a day! Also means I have to climb the stairs and down every time I need..enforced excercise!

yes it's nice to feel "normal" after so long feeling inferior to everyone else in every way!!

Ok thanks. Would have tried to shake it!! Am so blonde at times!

How do I make I kind of caramel latte with the caramel shake?! Is it even possible?

Lol - but it's actually not that funny if the ex takes it as a come on!!!

I have realised that in my quest to lose weight and be less obsessed with food, I have simply swapped obsessed about eating food for being obsessed about not eating it!! I am glad my really evil cravings are now gone. I am content with my daily quota and not fussed about more. Had delicious...

U don't look big in ur pic?!

No! That's them!! They r v tasty and v filling. Slice them up and they last longer x

We all know we should be doing some. What are we all doing and how often? I dont have a car and so I walk to school and nursery and back 3 times a day. I walk for shopping. I walk the dog. I do as many sit ups as I can as many nights a week as I can. We are starting a Saturday morning swim...

lol

That's quite harsh Phoenix!!! lol

Ham has A trace of carbs if any so ul b totally fine. U only come out of ketosis if u have too many carbs-not Cals x

So excited about breakfast tomorrow!

Oooh warm bars!! I do opposite, I like them sliced and just out the fridge but gonna try one hot tomorrow!

Yip. Hard to believe the before pic was only 7 weeks ago!

I was an AAW girl and I'm afraid the s&s packs are nowhere near as nice I'm afraid. Much waterier and not as natural a flavour but some of them are palatable and the choc bar is GORGEOUS. The service and choice is soooo much better than w8 but the taste isn't IMO. Try the samples and see how u...

You look amazing! Well done x

Well. I started a diary and for the life of me I can't find it! So starting again. Hope I don't bore u all! Starting date with AAW: Tuesday 10th Jan 2012 Height: 5'6" Weight: 15st 4lbs Total loss so far: 34lbs Started with s&s about 2 weeks ago and enjoying it although I mix it with some old...

I know. Maintaining is defo the scary bit! Well done anyway x

RaeB how much have you lost? Have you been doing s & s the whole way?

I agree. Although my emotional and personal life is struggling at the moment my weight loss is going great guns. Keep focused and the longer you do it the more conditioned you become about your new way of life. It just becomes "the norm" ive been going since 10th jan and I'm feeling the best...

Fab news. Thanks everyone x

Do not diss the mighty 'shroom!!! lol

I have lots of personal stuff going on. My husband and I separated a year ago and I am struggling to deal with it. We are spending a lot of time together again which has been amazing but I can't forgive myself for leaving him in the first place. I don't want to go into the whys and the wheres...

I feel so sad. I've felt like this a few times on this and I think it's because my life had changed so much. I do miss some things about the way I used to be. I know this is the way forward. I'm enjoying compliments daily about my loss but I feel something missing. Sorry, I just feel sorry for...

Was it nice?!

What height r u weasey?! I'm mopping up my tears after reading this as u sound exactly like me and u are where I want to be soon. Well done x

Does anyone have this as a shake or just mush?!

Starlight I did not know this or I would never have had any alcohol on this at all. And I certainly wouldn't have posted a thread about it. Very useful and important info. Thanks

Well this wee smasher has just saved me at work. Was really craving something, had a coffee and a bar and I'm totally sorted! And I'm still within my quota today!! Yay!!!

Weasey can you recommend a multivitamin please?

It's a tip if anyone struggles with the water intake. I use a splash of sugar free diluting in a 750ml sports cap water bottle. I just refill with tap water which I prefer to bottled water and I find the sports cap allows easier drinking! I always carry 2 different flavours about with me. Hope...

Try n keep busy. I find drinking water with a touch of flavouring out of a sports cap water bottle is the only way I can drink the required amount of fluid. When I'm hungry I drink some of that and a cup of tea with a tablet sweetner and a splash of milk allowance. You know it won't taste as...

stayed strong!! Feels good! :-)

It's actually more about the nutritional value of the bars. I don't think they contain the same as the packs as far as nutrients are concerned.

Of course. your absolutely right

I honestly wasn't suggesting -it's happened only once and it wasn't a planned thing. I substituted to save coming out of ketosis. I was straight back on plan the next day. Life can "happen" during a life journey like this. Emotional stuff can happen and allow us all to perhaps not do the most...

I've been able to have 2 glasses of wine and stay in ketosis. If I'm honest I've had 1/2 a bottle and stayed in ketosis but I've had to substitute packs for protein and greens

That's what I used to think but I'm so scared to go back to any kind of normal eating.

Or I could just let the craving pass! I would prob mess it up and waste the pack!! Thanks tho :-)

Craving for a mammoth cupcake. Chocolate or vanilla. With oodles of buttercream. I do torture myself somewhat......it's totm tho!

Was just reading about the 20 stone girl who ended up with anorexia after doing LL. it's so awful to go from one extreme to another like that. Does anyone know or has heard about anyone struggling with eating after this type of diet?

I have 2 medium boiled eggs every second day. I mash them in a cup and it's delicious. I don't follow the plan to the letter. There are no carbs in eggs and around 70cals per average egg. A meal pack would be around 135cals and 14g carb so it's fine. I lose more the days I have eggs!! Dunno...

That's v interesting weasey thanks. It makes sense about pumping blood to organs first and letting extremities go cold! I just didn't expect such a heavy loss but at least now I know what to expect!

I'm just going into my 7th week and I'm pleased with my general health/well being and also delighted with my weight loss. I'm glad I'm not the only one with a heavy blood loss I'll need to look at some vitamins I recon. I'm not always having my full quota as far as packs r concerned :-/ what...

The iron will make you v v constipated. Just b careful. Why not have some lean red meat instead of chicken?

Omg I'm so glad u posted. My period came on Saturday and I've never experienced such a heavy loss. I'm soaking through anything I put on (sorry if tmi) I was worried but makes sense as I'm cold all the time so must be thinner blood?! This is the second period I have had since starting but the...

I weigh every day so I don't know weekly. I've been doing this since 10th jan and lost 32 lbs so far. That averages about 4.5lbs a week I think?!

On a lighter note, my boys were out in the car with daddy and they saw a group of local runners. Ewan (4) says "daddy, are they the biggest losers?!......I had to change my tena lady when I heard that!!

This may be TMI but I went to bed the other night with a pair of silky pants I've not ever been able to wear and a wee vest and I kid you not, I looked and felt HOT!!! I may only be half way on my journey but I felt fab about mu body for the first time in about 20 years!! (hubby said I was super...

Aaah I was always told "there's no shake in staying the same" at least we're not putting on....however reality is that its pure pants staying the same!

What is STS support?!

My seven year old and three year old r the same. Very observant wee boys! I've been very honest about the fact that I'd eaten way too much of the wrong foods and it made me bigger than I should be. We have never allowed the word "fat" to be used in our house. Arran (7) knows I looked bigger than...

Any diet works of you can stick to it and not cheat. Which is why vlcd works and IMO why none of the other "high street" diets don't. The carb addicts need ketosis to succeed

My sister and my hubby say that I'm a feeder. I can't help it, I make all this delicious food (I'm actually a very good cook of I do say so myself!) and get sick pleasure out of watching them eat it?! Knowing I can say no makes me feel amazing! I have had a couple of slip ups but generally I've...

That's me!!!! This mornings WI (still had Jammies on but did a big wee!!) says am now 13stone 1/5 lb!!!! Am officially onto overweight BMI!! So chuffed....

Euphoria?!

Really?! I wish I had the pleasure of a número dos more often then!!!

Most people on here know I am always moaning about how vlcd and ketogenic diets lose you the weight from the head down! I have always been top heavy but u find my top half now a little smaller than the bottom! Must admit my legs have slimmed down and my bum and hips look better too. Am now doing...

Oooh the scud....I'm going to do that as from tomorrow. I usually am wearing Jammies (v light bottoms and a vest) and always have a widdle first!

Listen, I've done it myself. Don't beat yourself up. Just move on and forget about it. The worst thing u can do is binge/keep thinking about it. Start afresh and know its really not worth it! NOTHING tastes as good as slim feels!!xx

u can do it but ur right, If ur not in the zone don't waste your packs. Ul get there. Give yourself a couple of days with higher Cals but keep on ketosis for starting packs again. Good luck xx

Anyone else like me, totally addicted to anything on the tv that's about weight. Last night I watched them lifting seriously Obese patients in and out of ambulances, in and out of chairs with hoists and swapping beds as the old beds did not carry the patients ever increasing weight. I then...

Is the crispy choc a similar taste to the choc

damn you carbs....they creep up when u least expect it! I know I'll feel righteous tomoz morn when I step on those beauties!!! (hopefully!)

To make the BEST looking toasted sarnie I ever did see for my OH....and have just a cup o tea myself. Plus side? Another day done without succumbing to my old enemy. Good times :-)

I respect what they say but I know myself my body's limits. At least I've no evil cravings today yay!!!

I know that's what they say......didn't like red fruits at all. Caramel was ok and I have a chocolate to try tomorrow. Thanks as always :-)

It can't take you out of ketosis-there arent enough carbs in it.

I will probably have 2 a day. And up my vitamins. Carbs n Cals v similar to shakes and I'm struggling to find shakes I like :-(

Hi! I was an AAW'er too!! Miss the strawberry shakes soooooooooo much :-( s&s strawberry is very different And not to my taste unfortunately. Tried the caramel today and it's pleasant. Truffa bars=heaven in a silver wrapper!!! Good luck, I'm 6weeks in and so far so good!! x

Yes with Jesse but more so with the dark choc Truffa bar. It's flippin delicious!!! Am going to struggle to have only one a day tho as they r so handy and filling...know the nutrition isn't fab but boy they taste great!

2lb 10oz each?!

I dont have any scales so I'll need to try the works scales! Not very m&s though....more s&m for the customers!!

Do u think that would work?! I am soooo trying that tomorrow "Stevo can u pop into the bathroom for a minute, I need you to hold my boobs while I weigh in!!"

Jeez you guys...didn't expect so many of us are obsessed with scales!! I don't feel so bad now!

Ok. It's not that I don't believe you but I can't quite imagine what this cottage pie looks like? Is it just mush? And does it taste like food?! I'm gonna try I recon if it's as good as you all say.....

I hope that didn't sound bad pheonix. You have done brilliantly regardless as to ur starting weight x

I might be wrong Phoenix but I think it's when u have quite a few stones to lose that this Happens?! Going by your pre weight you weren't quite as heavy as some of us other girls when u started. Soz if I'm being cheeky

Is like to re-post about the head down weight loss. Vlcddefinitely targets face neck shoulders etc first and makes you "look" different to a low fat/low calorie only diet. I've always been top heavy even pre children and I now find mu top half smaller than the bottom. I love it as I hated having...

5'6 13st 6.5lbs Size 18

OMG!! Someone stop me from weighing all the time! I have ranged from: Sunday 14st 8lbs (3lb gain due to a pizza issue!) Monday 14st 4.5lbs Tuesday 14st 6.5lbs I know this is fluid from coming out of ketosis and eating some carbs but I'my own worst enemy!

Of course he is!! Mmmmmmm

How much would it motivate you to move your arse and stop eating crap if you had the gorgeous Jesse round your house?!!

Cravings are gone girls! Had no chicken in so had some cold ham and some cucumber. Also had some warm tea. Feeling ok now. Thanks everyone!! Will see how tomorrow fares for me as I have a very long shift at work. I work in an M & S Simply Food Store!!!.....

Your right. I have some Thai soup and tomato soup from AAW and only one mint choc and a choc shake. I need them tomorrow! My packs should be here Wednesday at latest. I will have protein and a few broccoli florets. I've only had one shake and a bar today. I have just made the family a lasagne...

HELP!!!! Am so close to crumbling. Awaiting packs to come and am v low on packs that I like. Head is sore and I'm feeling v low. I just want to eat :-((((

I guys I'm from the slim & save section but wanted to find out if anyone knows if exante's shakes are made by a different supplier to s&s's? I've tried 2 flavours and found them really not pleasant at all. I love the bars but I'm struggling to find shakes I can stomach. Has Any body tried both...

Weasey when did u start this plan and what have you lost to date? Have you had any "time off" or slipped of the wagon? x

I couldn't drink the strawb or red fruits. Straight down the sink :-( Choc truffle was simply GORGEOUS! Awaiting samples......

Ok so I started out on AAW on 10th January andI weight 15st 4lbs. I vowed this would b the heaviest I'd ever be. Im like most on here: tried and failed at EVERY diet I've ever done. This time it was different. I'd separated from my husband (my own doing) I'd had to accept things about my...

I looked at those. R they not really high in carbs?!

What's a BL bar?!

Gotcha. U meaning like essential nutrients and vitamins etc?!

Ok. So nutrition wise the bars aren't that different from shakes and meals so how come we can only have one per day?!?! There isn't even a gram of different between banana shakes carbs and truffle bar?

banana bars?! I can't see them on the website?!

Thanks. I'll have a look. I'm on wk 6 now and I have lost 2 stone. (bar 1lb!) my target weight is 2st 5lbs away now so I'm hoping I will reach my target before I need to break. I'd like to start maintaining as my intro to food. I agree with the mental hunger thing but I am usually needing a pack...

I don't trust myself to take a break :-( x

My cravings were awful at the start but have calmed down a bit....until today. Man I want some grub today. And I want evil things like: I'd like those caramel waffle biscuits And some onion rings. And a Creme egg. And some smarties. And a crunchie. And some plain walkers crinkles. And a panini...

That Jesse dude is just beautiful. In every way!! And I like girls lol !!!

Everyone at work is commenting on how much weight I've lost and how great I look. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING feels as good as when ur hard work pays off. Chuffed to bits with myself which is saying something. It's v hard to praise yourself when uv failed at something for nearly 20 years! Go...

There's no shame in staying the same ! (at weigh in obviously)

I think the good old fashioned ones r best. My digital scales are like Bridget Jones's scales.....

Thanks guys. Been doing so well the past 5 weeks so starting afresh today. Onwards and downwards!!

Had 2 x packs plus 2 x old el paso fajitas today. I'm sorry guys-I don't know what happened. I've had nothing else I promise. I'll likely b out of ketosis :-( l will b back on it tomorrow with gusto. Apologies to myself mostly .....

I also have tried lots over the past few years. It's drinkable if I just glug it back. It's very "fake" strawberry flavour compared to AAW shakes. I'll get used to it! Just being a big DQ! x

It's the caffeine!!! Ever had a strong coffee in the morning and it makes you run to the loo!

Packs arrived today as promised. Good news so far.....was assured by s&s HO that the packs were exactly the same as AAW so I ordered mostly strawberry as that's the only one I can now stomach. Just made my first shake. It's totally RANCID!! OMG what am I gonna do?! :-((((

I'd just like to add I don't eat any food. I only have packs so of u r having veg etc b careful about robinsons!

All these lovely people on this section made be decide!! Robinsons is fine I promise. I'm wk5 and lost 21lbs so far x

I'm an old hat at this ketosis lark and I don't use the flavourings. I use a splash of robinsons special r in all flavours. I use this on all 4 of my 750ml bottles of water a day. It has never caused me to come out of ketosis and never put weight on as a result of drinking it. I used water only...

I'm proud for choosing wisely. In the past I'd of had anything carb laden and all the bready stuff I could lay my hands on!x

Well. My birthday was lovely. A spa day with a friend and overnight stay in a luxury hotel. I planned not to eat and stick with packs but promised myself if I really wanted to, eat I Would. I had a large glass of sauv blanc. I then had a small chicken ceasar (excluding croutons) and 3slices of...

So I turn 35 tomorrow. For the first time since I was around 17, I am in control of my eating habits. Only problem is, I am going to miss food soooo much. I'm working tomorrow so we would normally have pizza or a take away tonight in celebration. I don't want the kids to miss out so will let...

Yeah I did LL too but they changed supplier half way through and the packs tastes boggin. I spoke to someone at HO at s&s and he said the packs are made by the same company and they should taste the same?!? I dont care anyway, I just need my packs to come by Wednesday so I don't have to eat...

Thanks everyone. Im "in the zone" but I just wish people would stop trying to put me off this method of weight loss! I'm an intelligent woman and I know the healthiest and best way is to eat less and move more, however when u have had a food addiction this is nigh on impossible without the help...

Hi guys Just made my first order with s&s. Am switching from AAW after 5 successful weeks so I hope I do as well here. I'm told that it's exactly the same product so heres hoping.....anyway, I hope to get to know you all soon! :-)

Can anyone tell me the average calorie and carbs count in say a strawb shake please? About to convert over to s&s from AAW :-)

Hi tracyx Yes. Have re read my last post and I sound like a mentalist!! Yes 27 days and 20 lbs. I think what ur going to do re snack sounds v sensible. I'm actually petrified to eat.
