An amazing loss. Well done!

Counsellors see this ALL the time. Ok, you had a bad week but you know you can do it so go and see her. She will be happy to help you get back on track. You have lost weight on it and can do it again.

I'm thinking of getting that for my Wii. Please keep us informed of how it works. I love normal zumba classes but cannot go as often as i'd like to and Wii would be perfect. It's certainly not light yet it produces results!

Yes you are. If in doubt give them a call. they are so friendly.

Karen from SnS told me it should be on their site by next thursday

Haha! u posted last august!!!! Oopsie! I just saw it in the new posts section. Good luck to OH with new job and happy driving!

A week is a huge acheivement - and venting is good. Keep your goals in mind every minute of the day. Use inspirational pictures to help if that would work for you. You CAN do this!

I agree with Marie. However, do make sure you drink more than when you were eating normal food. I have around 2.5 litres of water but I enjoy drinking it. On top of that I have weak tea and peppermint tea so probably do manage 3 litres plus. Your wee should be light in colour. If its dark...

I'm going to love your posts!!

not pathetic at all. Strong is a better word

Work

That's brilliant. It's always lovely to go a dress size down. It's sometimes more thrilling than seeing the pounds go down (sometimes!)

Haha, it can make you feel bloated!! Good luck honey

I'd advise you to ask your dentist and see if being in ketosis would pose as a risk. I shouldn't think so as long as you've drunk a lot of water and had say a bar beforehand as that's quite filling.

Yes I've seen that avatar too. Rather tempting isn't it? :)

Ohhh I like this thread! I'm on another vlcd but I hope you all don't mind if I HONK for every single day since I started! Keep it up people

It's so good to read that you want to be a good role model for the children you teach. You will be! A vlcd is tough and alcohol will only make it harder. It's so easy to say you will just have 1 but even that can take you out of ketosis and you'll end up feeling hungry and demotivated (so not...

Bit pricey eh? Well, suppose it's got to be done. Good idea about waiting til last minute to get pic taken ;)

That is an excellent loss. Gosh, you must feel so proud :) Well done

I think you're doing the right thing by spacing it out. If you don't like the taste, SnS do nice water flavours but I've got some cambridge diet ones that I like, or you could try sipping water with tea/coffee (1 sip of tea, 3 of water!). I tend to drink when I'm walking. Also, something I...

I suppose it depends on how vigourous the exercise is. I would probably have my shake after or at least an hour before.

I'm a total Macoholic

I love ENOUGH's profile pic. Hilarious!

I can only have food packs right as I'm doing a vlcd now but once I'm allowed conventional food, I certainly will! :) I've only got a few weeks of food packs left. Yippeee

Yes people. Once I'm off my vlcd, this is the thread for me. You eat REAL FOOD!!!!!

You've done sooooooo well and are such an inspiration to me and so many others I'm sure. My friend swears by pilates for toning (she lost just under 4 stones with calorie counting and lots of exercise and is still losing). She finds that it is the only one that is changing her body shape. I'm...

Oh lovey don't worry. I was diagnosed with pcos in my early 20s but must have had it years before as I'd had some of the symptoms from way before then. I already had 2 boys but wanted more children and I've managed to have lots more!!!! I cannot emphaise how important a balanced diet as is...

I cannot wait til it's my turn!!! Lucky you! Well done

Oooo yes please. I saw nigella lawson prepare something chocolately and peanuty today and I cannot wait to try it out but a healthier version. I'm on a vlcd right now and am somehow bizarrely finding that talking about food actually helps me?!!!

When I was pregnant, my skin became incredibly dry and sensitive. I would have flakes on my face and was quite embarrassed by it. It looked worse with foundation but as my skintone is uneven I needed foundation so I went to mac and of course they sold me their foundation. I don't have it anymore...

You must feel so proud. That is one amazing achievement. Well done!!

Thanks for love people! It feels nice to share on this forum. I've read some pretty interesting and heartbreaking stuff on this and I sincerely wish every single person all the success in their weight loss journey.

You've done incredibly well and you will reach your goal in no time. Weasy has a good post on breaking down your goals into little ones so they seem more manageable. Otherwise it will overwhelm you. I'm kind of doing that with my weight loss and I did that when I was studying for a degree. 3...

As tempting as it is to give in, just think of how good you will feel once you hop onto the scale. Trust me love, I'm saying this to myself too. We all go through it. Just see it through and you will feel so proud. And as the saying goes 'a moment on the lips is a lifetime on the hips! haha

Haha! Thank goodness none of us are that anymore. Hope your diets go well people!

Hello, I use red top because my friend did LL and was told by her counsellor that other ones could take her out of ketosis. Everyone is different and you may be ok especially if you only use a tiny amount. Use a ketostick to check you are still in ketosis.

Don't worry love. I bought lots of atkins bar when I was on CD a while ago. I was bored of the CD bars and wanted something else. I ate one (sometimes 2!) bars a day for about 5 days and didn't gain weight but I remember that I didn't lose weight either. However, I did remain in ketosis.

Fizzy drinks help me to feel fuller for a bit but I tend to feel really hungry bout an hour after :sigh:

Everything you require is in your packs and bars so you don't really need more. Acai berry is brilliant if you buy fro H&B. The capsules I used to take had psyllium husks amongst other things. I didn't use them for dieting just to keep me er, regular :o and they worked. I don't have the bottle...

Good luck! You can do it!

I have my first pack between 7 and 9.30am, 2nd pack between 12 and 2pm and 3rd I leave as late as possible so I've got something to 'look forward to!!!'

It's so funny seeing my typical dinner on someone elses pic! Chicken looks scrumptious!

Yep, as Weasy advises. Water intake really helps although it doesn't 100% go away. I may purchase retardex and if I do, I will post a review and let you all know. I also like Vivian's suggestion about carrying a mini mouthwash. I'll pop to the shops and get a mini leak proof bottle this evening.

Thank you Everyone! I am quite excited to be on this forum.

First few days are genuine hunger but after that it only gets easier! I had a few cheats before I realised I was prolonging getting into the bliss state that is ketosis! You'll be ok. I'm normally on a 28 day cycle but I'm experiencing pmt a week before and I only get it a day or 2 tops before I...

I agree, although I love quorn, I think plain chicken seems a wee bit more palatable!

Ooooo, products I like I’ve been on Slim & Save for almost a month but just joined MiniMins today (HELLO!!). Here’s my review of all I’ve tried: Meals: Spicy Spaghetti: Absolutely delicious. A very slight kick but I love spicy food so will always add red flakes to it. Chilli...

Oh and a Very Happy St. David's Day to all you lovely Welsh folk out there. Have a good one!

Hi People, I’m Sonia or Angel_Cake (whichever you prefer as I love both!). I’ve been on Slim and Save since February 1st and have lost 17lbs so far. I’ve always had issues with my weight because I simply love food, cooking and eating it (yum yum). A friend of mine has used this forum and found...

Hello Hi, I'm Sonia, or better known as Angel_Cake (my absolute fave cake in the world). I'm 31, wife to a fab man and mum to 6 fab children. I'm on Slim and Save and have been since Feb this year. I've already lost a lot of weight and looking forward to losing a lot more!
