Last time I did a VLCD I used to make up one pack of sugar free jelly (1 of the 2 pack if that makes sense lol) with less water and 2 packs of gelatin to make little sweets :) It didnt affect my weight loss at all.

Haven't read the rest of this thread past this post lol but I'm in Gosport too :)

Welcome! :)

Sorry to sound dumb but whats a tricep dip? I'm a bit of a thicky lol

LOVE your PMA! :D

Draw a line under it and move forward. Whats happened has happened, you cant change that but you can change what happens tomorrow :) Try to stay positive, you're on a learning curve after all Big hugs... Onwards and downwards ;)

8lbs in the first week is very possible on any change in diet because of the water weight we shed at first. When I did slimming world a few years back I lost 10lb in my first week but it was 1/2lb to 2lbs every week after but I eventually got sick of substituting flavoursome things with quark...

Ooooh sounds fab! The slim and save mousse mix is supposed to make the shakes like mousse or ice cream so I'll give that a go as I bought it on my last order and haven't used it yet!!

I like all the bars :) I haven't tried the wafers, I'm not sure i will bother with them.

4lbs off after a disastrous first week. 4lb is 4lb! :) Caroline - 14lbs. (0lbs down, 14lbs to go) Simmy1978 - 14lbs. (0lbs down, 14lbs to go) Noodles1609 - 14lb (8lb down, 6lb to go) Princesssappho - 14lb (5lb down, 9lb to go) LastEverDiet - 18lbs (0lbs down, 18lbs to go) trisha - 14lbs (0 lbs...

That's a lovely idea, might get my 3 little monkeys to help me make mine :)

Teeth - Gum

I'm in Hampshire. :) Looks like most S+S'ers are from Scotland and Wales!

dentures - false :D

Last time I did a vlcd I had a bit of both, bad breath and a manky taste in my mouth 24/7 I even looked into breath freshener I was so paranoid about it haha

Big big hugs :grouphugg:You can do this! Have you tried adding SnS water flavouring to your water? I find that it makes me feel full after drinking it because it feels like I'm having a proper drink rather than plain water.

Well done, what a good loss especially with it being TOTM. :)

heheheh I like that! :D

I've only seen them in Holland and Barratt.

Good luck on your weight loss journey :) I think it's better to think of it as a fresh start. Onwards and downwards full of PMA! :D

I have water flavouring left over from when I did Exante so I add that to my water so it is like drinking squash. I find that drinking (sipping) water throughout the day helps to keep my hunger to a minimum. I find that too much fizzy makes me feel hungrier.

I had a good day yesterday, I'm slowly getting used to this type of diet again! :) So far so good today. I am having my 500ml of coke zero and I still have 3 packs left for today which is bound to make it easier to manage this evening. :D

Yep that's what I'm doing. I can't change what happened yesterday. So far so good today, I'll be going to bed soon to save me from myself hehe

I'm on day 2 and I am so cold. I'm waiting for the carb withdrawal headache to kick in at some point over the next 24 hours.

I thought you could have fat trimmed unsmoked bacon? I had it on Atkins so presumed you could on SnS too.

Just gonna go try this :) Thanks for posting it. ETA: Okay I tried this and the texture is a bit weird but it does taste good. Maybe a few weeks down the line the texture wont bother me LOL!

Zeke that makes me feel so good about myself, thanks :) Last time I tried SnS I had an omelette every evening for 2 weeks to ease my evening cravings and that seemed to work for me. I'd forgotten about that until I saw your post!

Bad! lol I caved the first evening (made a thread about it) BUT I am now in a much better frame of mind to get this weight loss done! :D Today has been soooo much better than yesterday.

When I did slim and save last year my first loss was 14lbs but that was with 10 stone to lose. I'm in my first week this time so I will see what happens this time!

I quite literally spend the day thinking about what pack is coming next. I can't help it! haha I have ordered a few different bars and the mousse thingy this time so I can shake it up a bit next week. There's so much choice, that's what is so appealing about this plan.

That was exactly what I thought first thing this morning, why dwell on it because its in the past. I'm not usually like that, usually I give up because I feel like I'm a failure but this time I didn't which tells me that my head is in a better place this time round :)

As long as you use the same scales every weigh in you'll be fine. I use my own scales. I know that some people purposely dont own them so they cant weigh between weigh ins so they use the scales in Boots.

Oooh I'm glad I ordered the cookies and cream in my order, I love oreos :)

Good luck ladies :) I started yesterday and there are a few other new starters, hopefully we can help to spur each other on with our weight loss.

I was under the impression it was a pint :) I'm sure someone will know for definite :)

Yesterday was my first day, I did so well until late evening and caved :o I ate probably the worst thing I could have ever eaten but I wont name what it was it was that bad! :sigh: So last night was a big fat FAIL but this morning I woke up and did the opposite to what I usually do in these...

Thanks will check it out :)

Oh my god that sounds delish! Gonna have to try that :)

I prefer the Exante shakes, the Slim and Save shakes are a bit sweet for my taste although I can drink them okay I would prefer if they weren't so sweet. I prefer the range of products that Slim and Save have.

I never thought to do that. I just got hubby to take some pics because he always gets me at an unflattering angle!

What's the programme called? :)

Thankyou babycake, and to you :)

I'm in! I need a goal to kickstart my first month on plan. Caroline - 14lbs. (0lbs down, 14lbs to go) Simmy1978 - 14lbs. (0lbs down, 14lbs to go) Noodles1609 - 14lb (0lb down, 14lb to go) Princesssappho - 14lb (0lb down, 14lb to go) LastEverDiet - 18lbs (0lbs down, 18lbs to go) trisha - 14lbs...

Year - Old

I keep meaning to print off my grotesque fat pictures so I can stick them on the fridge and the goodies cupboard. I know that I will be fine if I last the first week. My problem has always been having the will power to stick it for the first week. I'm going to get some bouillon tomorrow and some...

I'm glad you are enjoying it. It really makes a difference if you enjoy it :)

Welcome to minimins! :) Good luck with your weight loss. I find the evenings the hardest on any diet. When I did slim and save before (i only restarted today) I used to have marigold low salt bouillon made up in a mug so its almost like a cup a soup if I needed something to stave off hunger in...

Ooooh! Looks good, I'll take a proper look later :)

Doing this worked quite well for me when I was doing Slim and Save previously. I have my packs as and when I need them after 11am. I can't stomach anything in the morning.

I find the shakes really sweet on slim and save. I like some of the meals and it is nice to be able to eat proper food instead of having just shakes. I haven't done CD but I have done Exante as well as slim and save in the past and I prefer slim and save because of the variety plus it is quite...

I didnt get on with the porridge cookies last time I tried them, although the porridge is nice. I usually do my vanilla and choc shakes hot with coffee or blended with lots of ice and coffee to make a frappucino type drink :) Good luck with your weight loss. I'm sure you will do very well :)

I don't mind getting it all out for the hubby and I know he finds me attractive but I want to get back to the way we used to be....dressing up and all that feeling sexy in nice underwear kinda thing :)

Good luck on your weight loss journey!

I'm starting today! There's quite a few of us starting now :) I have over 100lbs to lose though so it's going to be a loooooooooong journey for me :( We can all do this though. PMA all the way!

Thanks :) Good luck to you and your weightloss journey! :) If I didn't start today I think I would have kept putting it off haha

Being overweight does impact on a lot of things, when I was younger I wanted a tattoo on my stomach and then I got fat and that obviously didnt happen and probably never will because of the stretchers I have left over from my pregnancies, also boots I have trouble buying because of the size of...

I'm on day 1 as well. I have just had my first shake. It was sweeter than I expected which is nice. I'm trying to stay in a positive frame of mind :D

Hello!! :) This is day 1 for me. I have done a VLCD before a little while ago but I kept quitting and restarting this time I have a real aim in mind and I am feeling really positive. I have about 10 stone to lose in total but I am aiming to lose 3 stone at first and go from there. So far I have...

2 days in, so far so good. I have had moments where I have thought why am I doing this again, but then I think about what I hope to achieve and it kicks me out of the self pitying thoughts! I'm fully motivated this time, I've even changed my evening routine (I'm a night time snacker/binge eater)...

Thanks :) Stacey I have a few mini goals - I need to update my siggy! My long term goal is to get down to pre-wedding and pre-pregnancy size (around 11 stone) and then I'll re-evaluate from there. I aim to get down to a more acceptable size (using that term very loosely ;)) by March next year...

The first few days are the worst aren't they! Previously when I have done the Exante TS plan I found that keeping on top of my water intake really helped in the first few days, also when I was feeling really sicky I would make up a pint of bouillon instead of water and sip away at it. You could...

I have decided to start back on Exante. I tried before and lost a stone and a bit then decided to try to switch over to healthy eating, exercise and calorie counting to lose the rest of my weight (which is a LOT) but I failed miserably and put on the weight and more! I tried slimming world but I...

Diet coke chicken with rice today :)

I always weigh in leggings and a light top or t-shirt, even at home although I have weighed naked before after weighing in clothes and it did make a difference to my weight.

Hello everyone, I joined SW yesterday. I have done SW before from home but this time I decided to join a group because I struggle to do it alone, I'm doing EE. I have a fair whack to lose so I will be in here for a loooong time lol Good luck to everyone :) xx

Wow well done! :) xx

I hope you're okay hun xxx

To space my packs out I used to halve them all and have half every few hours so I ended up thinking I was having 6 meals a day plus drinking lots of water in between packs. It might be worth a try.

Would've been better if you were serious! :D I had the most hilarious mental picture of you trying to cram your microwave into your suitcase!

This is a good idea!

I know the feeling having 3 children, aged 4, 5 and 7! Temptation everywhere, however I have found that after a few days I wasn't actually hungry so the 'nice things' didn't appeal to me quite as much and I stocked up on fruit so all my little ones snack on is fruit :)

The first time I did the diet and when I tried Atkins I used to make 'sweets' out of gelatine sachets and sugar free jelly, it never affected my weight loss and it used to fill the habitual snacky void I have in the evenings. I wouldn't think it is recommended but as with anything it is each to...

I had never really thought about this! I think J-LO has a lovely figure, I have more junk in the trunk so either her or Beyonce's figures are more realistic for me to achieve eventually! lol

Hope you had a lovely birthday! xx

Only you know what is right for you, but I think if I was in your position I would stop Exante and go onto something like WW or SW, I don't think its worth risking your health. xxxx

Woohoo! Well done, that's so cool to be on their site to inspire others!

I echo this! The dvd is excellent and challenging but you do need to give your body time to adjust but to also take things slowly when you do introduce exercise. Good luck! :)

I love the porridge :) I cant stand the soups though :spit:I need to place another order soon, I've only got a weeks worth of shakes left.

My main reason is so that I live long enough to see my children grow up, I want to be able to run around with them and enjoy them. I feel trapped and smothered by my size and I know that I am unhealthy. I don't want my children to be affected by my weight/poor health, I already get "Why are you...

Good luck on slimming world!

I keep losing focus :( I've been ill and I have found it hard not to just dive into my kitchen cupboards and binge on rubbish because that's what I have always done to comfort myself :rolleyes: I will say the same thing as what I plan on doing myself, that is to take today as a new day, the...

Good luck! I've started again for the umpteenth time!

LOVE this!! :D

Woop woop! Go you!! Congratulations on your achievement, you've done so well :) xx

That is fantastic well done!! :D Woop woop!!

Well done! You're doing amazing! :)
