Hey everyone I am back to Slim and Save again and I've been at it for a week. I am going to be weighing myself on a Thursday. I have lost 7.5 lbs in the first week which I am really chuffed about. Current Weight - 17st 0.5lbs Highest Weight - 20st Lowest Weight - 11st 2.5lbs I am going to...

thanks so much. i'm not sure what my actual problem is. i think i am just disappointed with myself cause i lost a lot, then gained back 5 stone :( so there's a part of me that is sick of hating myself, but unfortunately turns to food for comfort. your progress is amazing though! congrats to you...

no idea what dns is... :/ off to google and see if i can fix it! haha thank you :) x x

I normally use chrome so i tried it with explorer and the same thing happened. when my flatmate is home tomorrow i'll try from his laptop and see if that's any different. if it was more than one site than i would think it was my laptop, but everything else is working just fine :/ thanks so much...

i have tried that as well :/ still getting the same error message. thanks for the tip though! it was worth a try :) x x

hiya :) i have cleared my cache but still no joy. i have emailed and just waiting for a reply. if i hear anything of use i'll let you know :) thanks! x x

Yesterday I tried to get onto the Slim and Save website but they were doing maintenance and was unable to. Since then they sent the email explaining and when I tried to go onto the website to order I received this message: ForbiddenYou don't have permission to access / on this server...

Thank you both for your advice :) The little voice inside my head was saying the same thing... just feeling desperate I guess :/ x x

Hi Everyone, hope you're all well :) I am not sure if this is allowed or not: My friend recently started taking DeCarb (boots/lloyds etc) and I was wondering if anyone else has tried this while on SS... (Lipobind Shape Smart Decarb Natural Carbohydrate Blocker - 60 tablets - Boots) Do you...

Loving the new website :) Just put in a new order an it was much easier :)

i think i'm alone here - bit i didn't really fancy it... saying that I liked the banana one :/ I'm weird, i know haha. Hope everyone is doing well :) x x

you know what's best for you and the support you need is always going to be here for you. enjoy your time off :) be kind to yourself and don't beat yourself up at all! x x x

thanks very much :) really want to be able to stomach them as the LL were quite tasty! thanks again x x

Hey everyone :) I am currently finishing off the last of my LL packs and starting SS on Monday. On LL my stomach could not handle the bars. I would bloat, get cramps, and just generally feel pretty horrible. Does anyone have this problem with SS bars? Or did anyone have this problem with LL...

I am switching to S&S once my Lighter Life packs run out (about 5 more days) and I put in my order to S&S last night. I think you'll be totally fine mixing the packs and switching over to S&S should not take you out of ketosis :) hope S&S gives you what you're looking for! I needed something...

i just placed my order and I split it between the meals and shakes and just got a sample of the bars. The bars on LL killed my stomach :( so don't want to make the same mistake. That being said I think I would still do 1/2 meals and 1/2 shakes... but like you it took me ages to decide. Doing it...

this is awesome! congrats to you :) going down a size is such a motivator for me (it's not happened recently though - which is why I'm doing this) keep it up! x x

congrats to you! so inspiring :) x x

Super inspiring :) Congrats to you! I'm doing one more week of LL then switching to SS (cost reasons). This makes me feel better about switching over :) Congrats again - and yes, we all need to live a little. Sounds like you're in a place where you can leave it to one night as well. Not sure if...

Thanks starlight :) I'm having the same problem... would the drops be ok to take on the diet (sorry if that's a really stupid question!) x x

haha, thank you. I miss my gran's tomato soup - probably because she put a pint of cream in it :/ haha Thanks again :) x x

Hey everyone :) I am thinking of switching from LL to S&S and was wondering if anyone else has done the same and their experience with doing so. I like lighter but because of the cost I knew I was only going to be able to do it for so long. I do enjoy the classes and think I will miss those...

Nzmegs, thank you so much for your insight and words of encouragement. I will stick to my 4 packs and acknowledge that the journey I am on is much better then the one I was previously. Hunger is a lot easier to deal with than the self hatred and guilt that comes afterwards. Thanks again :) x x x

Hey everyone, hope you're all having a good day :) Quick question, i have been to the gym today and have burned, according to my heart rate monitor, 450 calories. I AM STARVING and water isn't doing the trick (had 1.5L). I was thinking about having an extra pack as sometimes when i feel like...

Thanks Rosieposie :) i ordered one of each in my first week to see how my stomach reacted to each and find myself sticking to about 3-4 packs but i have been reading the different vlcd forums and a lot of people have been sticking to limited variety and have been fine so fingers crossed :)...

Rosieposie, what shakes/meals etc do you find are easiest on your stomach? x x

thanks weasy :) so far the LL classes are brill and I am loving the group support :) Thanks again x x

I'm not doing Slim & Save yet but will need to cut down costs after about a month on Lighter Life. Reading this has encouraged me on :) thanks everyone x x

Thanks everyone for your help :) And weasy, congrats on all your success! My word you are an inspiration :) At my heaviest I was 20stone and got down to 11st 2.5lbs via weight watchers, then atkins... but fell off the wagon after 4 years :/ It says you are doing LL and Slim and Save. Do you...

Thank you both :) I do like swimming but due to my shift work (and no car) the pool hours by me don't fit in... but have a gym membership. Shifts will hopefully change soon :) x x

Hi everyone :) I am curious to see your personal experience with weight loss and exercise. I started LLT last week at 15st 5lbs and my goal is about 11st 6lbs. I exercise a couple of times a week and stand for most of my job. For those of you that have had really good weight losses...

Had my first weigh in yesterday so ready for this challenge :) Likeafirework = -16lbs (0lbs lost, 16lbs to go) Tuesday WI

I love porridge and because I was on atkins for so long the porridge on LL is a god send! It is possible that I have just forgotten what the real stuff is like though. I haven't tried the bars but I am not a huge fan of the chilli or the asparagus soup. I mostly have the shepherds pie, apple...

Glad it all worked out :) x x

AWESOME!! I'm made up for you :D You've taken a huge step! I know you want to see the weight come off quicker but even if it doesn't please still stick with the gym. It can take about 4 weeks for things to start changing - most importantly it will definitely help with insulin response. I...

Awesome :) Do you have an induction in the gym? If you do there will be a lot to take in. Once you get comfortable and you want to know how to use a machine or do an exercise or just ask for some help, please do ask them. I've worked out in gyms where they are super not friendly (like the one I...

Hope they fit you well, i absolutely love mine :) and I know it's easier said than done but when you're in the gym just keep reminding yourself why you're there. to be fit and healthy and to feel good about yourself :) there may be loads of other people who are bigger, or you may be one of the...

Hey :) that's awesome you have decided to join a gym. It was so hard for me to actually walk into the gym but felt silly afterwards as everyone was wonderful. I was really lucky as where I was living there was a family run gym and everyone was dead friendly etc. I was about a size 20 when I...

Congrats on all your success! You should be very proud of yourself. Hope it all goes well with plastics. I've got my fingers crossed for you x x

I don't know for sure but in the past if I have ever done something like that I always felt a little better if I got my heart rate up. It;s been known that exercising helps people get back into ketosis quicker. x x

Hi Everyone :) I am picking up my packs tomorrow and starting my LL journey :) I feel this is what I need as I have put on a lot of weight recently and need to get my head into a good place. I binge eat and I am hoping the classes will help with this. Anyone else have experience of the...

I'm 29 years old (I'd like to think this is young) I look about 27. I feel about 21. I act like I'm 12 at times :) Not started yet but have my introductory meeting tomorrow night x x

Thank you :) Thanks for your tips everyone :) I am really looking forward to initial meeting x x

Hi everyone, I have my introductory meeting this Thursday with my local LL rep. I know she will answer this but I am just trying to get as much info as possible... Is there a minimum sign up time period for LL? I have been reading around and have seen things like 100 days/13 weeks etc. But...
