I'm such a yo-yo dieter grrr done 5 days last week and lost 7lb and have put it all back on grr I've even considered selling my shakes and bars but I'm still not happy with my weight. I think i need someone to kick me up the bum lol

I'm only 5foot 2 and my goal is to get into a size 14 what weight i am does not bother me at all i was always happy at that size. It was when i needed a size 20 coz my size 18's were getting too tight things needed to change

please can i join in i'm on day 2 of my restart today so far so well :rolleyes: apart from te headache and the feeling cold lol

a nice hot bath followed by a coffee with a bar cut up into bits so i can suck on them mmmm

I totally agree the best way to do a vlcd is to follow it to the letter at the end of the day your health is so important.

this is my ????? Re start I've found it so hard to get back on track with the kids being of school and the hubbie working i seem to be making three breakfasts, three lunches and three diners all at different times role on the kids going back to school at least then they all eat together lol So...

They look lush will have to give it a try

Well i just had my first curry over 200g if mixed veg and my verdict WOW think i may have to do an additional order this month as i only got 5!

I don't have the crispy shakes as a shake but as a desert just use less water and mix with a spoon yum

WOW well done xx

I have been doing slim and save for 3 months but since coming back of holidays and I've found it really hard to stick especially with the kids if school. But my daughter has gone away with my mother for five days so ive decided that this will be the best time to get back on track. Wish me luck (...

Congratulations on your pregnancy hope all goes well xx

i'm exactly the same at the moment but its the totm for me i think i'll be having an extra bar soon or i'm off to bed. its a horrable feeling aint it :sigh:

well i've worked out my 'wanting' its the totm :( and this time its realy bad, i think is because i had a week of plan i'm realy tempted it eat everything in the house, but ive been good and had some tuna instead lol ive warned the hubbie that tonight i'll have fishy breath tonight instead of...

Thanks all i think when i reach goal then my struggle will start

Wow you look fab well done xx

well i weighed and ive put on 8lb :eek: whilst away wish i'd taken my shakes with me because i cant even say that i enjoyed the food! started back 100% this morning and i hope to do some damage limitation before my weighin on tuesday lol

Only 2lb loss this week not bad as it's two days early. Off to butlins with the kids tomorrow so I'm having a week off, hope i don't put to much on!

Chin up hun what's in the past leave in the past, the first few days are always hard keep yourself busy and I'm sure you'll do fine xx i started my first vlcd about 3 years ago but this is the first time ive suck to it so i know how hard it is xx

Thanks will try that xx

hi all does anyone have any advice on how to treat itchy stretch marks? for the last 2 weeks its been realy bad from what i can work out its due to the weight loss! thanks in advance xx

good luck on your restart the first week is always the hardest, keep yourself busy and you'll be fine xx

Thanks all for your replys I'm still on cloud 9 and spent last night washing all my size 16 jeans didn't realise how many i had lol. I've decided to have the week of with the kids don't think i will be able to sit in a room of people eating, i know it will be hard to get back on track buy in so...

slim and save do a taster pack which allows you to try all the flavours they have it workd out about 99p per pack so definitely worth trying as to what is 'nice' is down to personal choice realy. s&s is a vlcd so the weight loss is the same as the cwp about 1stone per month, the meals are nice...

lol i love this :8855:

I'm feeling on top of the world tonight, my jeans kept falling down so i though i'd get my smaller ones out of the bottom of the wardrobe (there are many sizes in there lol), and they fitted :wee: and their a size 16 :eek: started of a size 20:cry:, i must admit that some of them were a bit snug...

i dont think there is ever a 'good' time to start this diet as most social activaties include food :cry:so i suggest that if your in the right mind set go for it, that was when i found was the right time for me :) and was sooooooo glad started. good luck on your journey xx

the one thing i most look forward to is .... finding myself again not the wife me or mummy me but just me :)

blender bottles are £1:99 in argos xx

thanks both, i'm back on it today :D and i will not have a blip again :copon:losing this weight is more important than a take away any day :)

Noooooooo why do i do it to myself just had sweet and sour chicken and rice grrrr and it's not the first time I've done it. Is about time to realise that I'm cheating myself and no one else and now i feel sick lol shape up knickers or their only going to get bigger lol

i used to weigh every day but felt very disheartened when i had no weight loss and like you could not make any sence of it lol. so now i just weigh once a week if you stick to plan 100% the weight will come off. :)

Wow you look fantastic well done

ive had one bar a day since day one and it does not seem to have affected me and i'm in week 6 now :) good luck on your journey xx

How did the weigh in go?

I'm on my fourth week of slim a save and i have just ordered a months supply, before i place my order all i could think about was how much it was costing me :confused: but when i worked out what i used to spend my money on in a month i was shocked Chinese every Friday = £20x4 = £80 :eek: (which...

I know how hard it can be ive restarted many times but have made it to day 8 today and plan to stick to it this time

Is sooooooooo happy 7 lb loss in my first week go me lol

Chin up jess33 if i can do it so can you, even though I'm dreading the weighin tomorrow!

looking at the clothes at the bottom of the wardrobe that have been there for the last 6 years at least that i refuse to get rid of coz 'i will fit into them again'

it all depends on your start weight but vlcd are usualy about 1 stone per month but this can vary from person to person

ive not tried it yet but i will be getting some in my next order ;)

chin up hun just put it behind you and jump back on the wagon xx

i have them just because i dont want anyone to pass out when im talking to them :8855:however they are high in carbs 98g per 100g :eek: so i only use them now and again but i always keep a breath spray on me for emergencies

This is my first week and I've weighed every day this was such a bad idea coz when i had a loss i felt on top of the world but when i had no loss i felt like giving up so only going to weigh on a Tuesday now!

Thanks, all's going brill really looking forward to within tomorrow how you finding it?

The raspberry and apple is the only one that seems to have no critic acid think I'll have to pick some up ( just looked on their site)

They do the shakers in argos 1:99 (type in blender) and ikea do the coffee frother for 99p. I use both and one also got a smoothe to go fab for in the house

Totally agree

Same here the kids not to happy I'm using their straws lol

You may be able to collect it from your local city link depot

To be able to ware the clothes that have been at the bottom of the wardrobe since i fell pregnant with my dd (whos now 9) i will fit into them! and to be able to take the kids swimming with out feeling like a beached whale lol

It's the best 25pound I've ever spent just wish the rest of the family would stop pinching the ice!

I do mine in a smoothie 2 go when i used to put it in the shaker id half freeze some water in a small pop bottle as it goes slushy

Totally agree I've just had one the bars are keeping me going

I put them in whole :-)

Just made a chocolate shake with loads of ice could have ate it with a spoon lush

Not sure how is ment to be made but i have mine as a desert by mixing cold water bit by bit till i found the right consistency and its lush

Glad I'm not the only one lol

i'm on day three and all i can think about is food food and more food even though im not hungry! the way its going i'll be cooking so much that the rest of the family will end overweight and i'll be slim lol
