I was on S&S earlier this year for a couple of months. I lost about a stone and a half. 3 months later, now I have very bad hair loss, so bad I've had to cut off about 10 inches so its 'lighter' and I can't pull it back like when I was ponytailing. You can see my scalp, its very noticeable...

Hi RebekahR, I confess I still have not been to the gym this weekend. However I've had a bit of a crisis... I've broken up with my bf of the last 2.5 years. I know it was absolutely the correct decision to make, the relationship was not going anywhere and before I knew it I had turned 30...

I do agree, I need to drink more. I'm drinking about 3 litres at the moment but its blatantly not enough as I'm thirsty! Wow, you went back to the gym on day 2? Well done! Where do you find the energy? I feel like I'm gonna pass out at the end of the work day, its so difficult to get motivated...

Wow! That is astonishing! You've lost 66 pounds in about 2 months? Well firstly congratulations! That is quite a significant result! I bet people in your life are shocked to see the weight literally drop off you so quickly! Everyone has very different metabolic rates, different lean muscle...

Mademoiselle Éclair de Chocolat de la maison du Macarons Framboise LOL Haha funny thread. I know what you mean about "food porn". I've never been interested in any food programs before but since I started this diet suddenly I can't get enough of "Man versus Food". I watch marathons of it...

Hi everyone, Chellywelly, we started on the same day! You're doing excellent, it says you lost 2 stone already! Welldone! I've been struggling a bit! Lost 2pounds on my last weigh in and lost 3pounds the week before that! At least its going down though! x

Hi RebekahR and thank you very much, I will. :D Well today I have been good, no extra curricular snacking. However I do think my brain is starting to lose the plot a bit. Question: When we starve out bodies of glucose in order to force our bodies to use up the stored fat for energy, how are...

I need to stop weighing myself obsessively. I weigh myself every morning then again before I go to bed. Does anyone else do this?

Well for me, besides cotton mouth and death breath... my pee is really dark (dehydrated) and smells bad. (Sorry to be gross). On day 4 and 5 I felt REALLY weak that I stayed in bed for most of the day and when I sat up I got quite dizzy. Luckily it was the weekend for me when that happened and I...

Good luck Debbie, you're doing really well! And well done for planning ahead, that will definitely be useful for losing weight!!! I found day 4 & 5 the hardest but once that passes I think it gets a little easier! x

Good luck Lindsay. I just had a guilt ridden chocolate binge and I feel really bad right now but I think its best to just write it off, not give up and carry on tomorrow as normal like the blip never happened! We will get there!! xx

You're doing fantastically well! Well done!! Its amazing. x

Good luck! What diet did you do 5 years ago? x

Good luck! For me the first week was the hardest but it will get much easier once you are in Ketosis!

Hi all! I'm still quite new to this forum so I didn't notice this diary section before. I do go on rambling away about random stuff so I may bore you to death. Meanwhile please feel free to comment or let me know I'm going off on a tangent. I do think this is a good way to stop me from reaching...

Hi, for me I lost 11lbs in week 1 then 3lbs in week 2. So far I've lost another 2 this week, weigh day on Tuesday for me. I think week 1 is misleading though, you just lose a lot of water which the body retained. x

Obese sounds harsher than fat. People always say fat, "I feel fat", "do I look fat in this?" etc.. If it was "I feel obese", "do I look obese on this?" it sounds depressing.

I've always been intrigued by the Garuffa Fish pedicure treatment and was desperate to have a go myself with so many Groupon/Wahanda vouchers and things going around last summer. But then I read this and it put me right off!!: (whether its true or not debatable but rather not risk it) HEPATITIS...

Tweeze the fat ones and use a tiny face shaver blade thing to shave it off. I get them from Japan (3 for 100 yen = 77p) and I've been doing it for *gasp* 17 years! Since I was 13.Its an urban myth it will grow back coarser. Whoever said that wanted to keep the secret that shaving gives best...

Well done for quitting, both of you. I managed to successfully quit 2 years ago myself, cold turkey. It can be done. (Admittedly I piled on the weight afterwards but that's why I'm here) Jojobear - it sounds like a case of some serious Nicotine withdrawal symptoms. I think trying to lose weight...

OMG yeah, totally an emotional eater here. It's so hard sometimes not too. At least we're not turning to alcohol/drugs/self harming/etc

I've only tried the eyeliner in a little tub which was given to me as a gift and I really liked that. After seeing the high praise on here I may invest in it.... Do they make a decent eyelash curler? Been struggling to find a good one.

Excellent post! Thank you! Any tips for stopping hair falling out on a VLCD? I guess the answer is in the question - don't do a VLCD!

I had my eyes lasered (lasik) in December 2007 in Japan. (I was short sighted before). I didn't actually pay for it but it was the best investment EVER!! I have not regretted this move and its been almost 5 years now since I wore specs/contacts and I still appreciate not having to wear them. It...

LOL I couldn't resist, I got some from amazon for £5.95. (inclusive of p&p) Despite drinking 3 litres of water a day mine have gone dark purple so its a good reminder for me to just keep drinking more than the average person. Admittedly I've only used it twice though. Its probably only useful...

My last period came 20 days late and I was seriously panicking! LOL I think its a hormonal thing and the more you stress about it not coming the later it will come. But go to the doctors anyway. x

I was wondering where the badges were from! Thank you! Not long now...

Gaunt! :)

Thank you! :)

WOW Spanglymum! You look amazing in that black dress!! Really, WELL DONE! What diet did you do to achieve that and how long did it take? This is my first truly dedicated diet and because I thrive on routine anyway I'm finding it quite good but I think the hardest bit is maintain the new size...

I don't know if I'm allowed to link things on youtube here but if you seach "ketosis apple cider vinegar" you will see what I saw. It may have a naive/gullible nature anyway but I'm finding it increasingly harder to distinguish fact from fiction because there is so much more information...

That is encouraging to hear! Thank you. (And well done on getting to bikini size!! I don't think I've worn a bikini since I was 5!) What happens to the parts of skin covered in old stretch marks (white) if you have loads and loads? Now that must sag surely coz its like overstretched elastic...

Wow that's interesting, thank you for that. While we are on the topic of Olive Oil, is that completely banned from our diet? I haven't eaten anything outside the packs since I started so just wondered...

Thank you for your reply! Sounds like I'm stuck with cellulite for life! Its so gross, I can feel each individual pocket of fat in the cellulite. I bully it. Weight lifting... like dumbells? I don't know where to start with that one!!

Good thread, I just posted a new one asking about what happens to cellulite as you get slimmer but I'm glad I found this. I'm cracking open the Bio Oil right now!! (What about baby oil, is that no good?) (And when you say Olive Oil, do you literally mean the oil you consume from Tesco's and...

Is 2 eggs scrambled less than 100g protein? Oh my! I thought eggs weren't allowed on this diet for some reason. Yippeeee!!! I know what I'm going to ask for my birthday breakfast in bed :) Thank you!

Thank you, excellent post. I'm going to print it out! x

I love the shakes too! So delicious, especially chocolate. I have it as hot cocoa before bed :) Out of the shakes I like the Vanilla one least but I can still drink it. I can't stand that macaroni pasta though, absolutely disgusting. When I tried the trial I picked the pasta bits and poured...

That sounds good, will look in to that myself. Also on youtube there are some people claiming that drinking a few spoonfuls of Apple Cider Vinegar over 2 days gets them in to Ketosis. Has anyone heard this before?

I've got a random question about cellulite because I have LOADS of it. I've only just completed my first week on 4 packs a day and I've managed to lose 11pounds. Given that on this diet you lose really quickly I was wondering what happenned to the cellulite dimples as you got slimmer. Do they...

You guys are strong!! I would find it so hard not to indulge... I would probably eat meat first with the right intentions and reassess the situation. If I'm full from meat then job done!!

I love berrocca but I guess I shouldn't take that then as it probably contains loads of vit A...

Hiya all, I'm relatively new to this site and I have enjoyed reading this thread! I too am a massive beauty hoarder, addicted to buying all things to do with beauty!! I much prefer buying toiletries to buying clothes, mainly because trying to buy clothes is depressing! (When they don't...

Congratulations, you did amazing! Well done and keep it up and thank you so much for sharing, its so inspirational. I'm only on day 6 myself so it helps to see these inspirational posts to keep going. x

WOW! You have done amazing! How inspirational you are! Your abs are perfect now! AMAZING!!!! You look great in your wedding pictures. Thank you for sharing! x

You look really good! Well done!! Thank you for sharing, its very inspirational. I'm only at the beginning of my journey.

Hi everybuddy, I'm new to this site and I love this thread!! Excelent for distracting me from thinking about food. (Just started the diet, on day 6) I'm a BIG TV holic too... possibly a bad life habit for being glued to the screen not moving and not burning calories. (And used to junk feed...

I love Manga too!! Although I don't know many of the ones you guys mention! Except Death Note but I got confused after a while so not my favourite. (I like Ryuuku though). My all time favorite ones are: 1. Lupin the 3rd by Monkey Punch. You could say obsessive, I have a shrine dedicated to this...

How do you feel at day 15 then? I'm only day 5 but I feel fatigued, no energy to do anything. Did you feel like this? I hope it's just a temporary thing. Also my bf told me my breath stinks so I must be in ketosis mode now. Can't seem to stop peeing and despite the amount of water I'm glugging...

Thank you Irene! I am on day 5 now, I don't feel that hungry but I feel drained! Struggle to sit up! What is that about? X

Thank you for this useful and informative post. I've only just started a diet and was not aware of the perils of cytric acid! I will be scrutinizing labels more carefully now! I like diet coke but time to stop! xx

Thank you for this brilliant post. I will be printing it out to keep! xx

Hi! I'm on day 5 today too! yey! xx

Best. Post. Ever!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this info. Its very useful especially as I've just started and on Day 5 of the diet. xx

Dear members,:sign0144: Hello! My name is chi and I've just joined this forum which was recommended to me by a friend who also introduced me to this new diet I just started: Slim & Save. Have any of you tried it/on it? How are you getting on? I'm still on day 3! And I am very hungry right now...
