slim and save is the only thing thats worked for me, it takes away temptation and i never feel deprived as i know i can have a meal x good luck

yes, its to do with the whatyamacallit stores when we dont use carbs as energy these stores release a hormone that make us have a period. i would see your gp tho as it should only ever be a period and stop.

im restarting on tues, my advice is get thro the 1st week and after that its a walk in the park, and glug glug that water, the more you drink the more you shrink x

hi all, i originally started on the 1st may 2012, done fantastic on s&s but got bored....so i joined another weightloss plan which i have continued to lose weight with but slowlyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, ive now hit a sticking point and havent lost any weight for about 6 weeks!! Sooooooooooo, im ready to...

ive bought a punnet of strawberries when ive been out and hungry.

I drink at least 6 a day plus my water ive never had a prob!! how can they kick you out of ketosis?

I snack on ham all the time it keeps me sane! i buy wafer thin and each slice is 12 calories and the way i look at it is, its a good choice and a choice that will keep me on track. seriously dont stress over it.

that is wonderful news! congratulations and all the best xxx

first time since ive started s&s have i felt like this, i feel like throwing the towel in havent lost a single ounce this week despite having no calories twice, i have a terrible cold so didnt eat thurs or fri, theres really no point i cant taste anything. maybe this diet has come to a natural...

I make my porridge and leave it at least half hour, it goes all thick that way.......no worms i swear.

There's no better feeling than moving down into the a new stone, and it soon happens x

If you like spicy food, you can jazz chicken and fish up....i use jerky seasoning (try and buy the authentic one not the supermarket one) use chilli powder, garlic, curry powder, you can have a chicken and veg curry or chicken tikka!

I always go by the rule, only eat meat if it hasnt been touched by man, saying that i do have ham as a stand by but at 11 cals per slice its not going to do any harm.

Not havin to wear an extender belt on the plane, there's no greater shame.

No thats not sad it's sensible, you could make your own chicken salad and take it in tupperware. As a rule i never touch anything thats manmade, ie processed meats, it has hidden nastiness that you dont need.

Be careful of the chicken! it's processed. its pumped full of sugar and salt.

Don't forget youve done this plan before so youre not going to have a massive loss, 4lbs is a big loss you'd be lucky to lose half of that on sw. 4 blocks of butter, 2 bags of sugar. It's a good loss.

I've had my teeth whitened and yes it works, but i couldnt have it done again as the shields make me gag.

You look wonderful well done

thanks ladies, thats what i love about this forum everyone is so supportive xxx

sorry i just have to say it............ive left the 20's behind and ill NEVER EVER see them again, goodbye and good riddance!

also remember totm, i NEVER lose on that week, but keeping a diary i see the patterns so now that week doesnt bother me as i know as soon as aunty vera leaves the figures start dropping again. One day you could have lost a lb the next 4lbs,so dont judge your weightloss until offical weigh in day.

Todays a new day, everything that happened yesterday has gone!!! Go food shopping, dont buy any rubbish fill the fridge with green and ham, chicken, when you feel hungry and you really have to eat, a slice of ham wont kill the diet! stop beating yourself up, youre human. Just wait till your in...

getting on a plane, and not being the fattest.

AMAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZING well done you!!!

sell them

The packs will become more appealing from the 2nd week on, you can spice them up with herbs/spices depends on your taste buds. get the water flavouring they are invaluable. just think of the chicken/prawns/tuna/eggs you can have on the 3 packs, get imaginative and before you know it, you'll be...

im off on my jollies for a week, i had an early weigh in as i wont be here monday, 4 and half pounds off!! how annoying that im 1lb off 2 stone! but still im over the moon, and i will remain on plan throughout my holiday. have a good week everyone, be good to yourselves x

Never shut up, this is what this forum is for if you have worries voice them.

My hair is in a wonderful state, its never looked so healthy and shiny......i had hair loss from my gastric band but on this plan im getting all the vitamins i need. long and short of it is slow hair growth(for the very few who have it) or being fat, its a no brainer for me.

what is it about the plan that you struggle with?

i started on lipotrim and i know you will find this plan so easy, they both have the same sucess rate but this one is much more do able.

I think you need to take an hour or so and read previous posts and note down what you can and cant have, instead of having the mindset of ''i cant have'' think i can have. personally ww and sw are no good for me as i need portion control, this plan is ideal in that way but also for making you...

being deprived of food makes me binge, i make sure i dont just have protein and veg i have a wondeful meal!! i have spiced up chicken or prawns or lovely fresh fish, to be honest it takes me ages to eat it! im all for not being so strict you think omg ive just eaten a rice grain! i think with...

yay big well done!!

if you stick to it 100% from now, next weigh in you will have lost i promise, I dont think scale hopping helps either cuz dependant on what we've eaten/ drank or been the loo we can weigh various throughout the day, so stick to once a week weighing and always on the same day. try and forget...

ive got a gastric band, yet here i am heavier than before i got it!! its not a quick fix, the problems that come with it are unbelievable....ill be glad to see the back of mine slim and save wins hands down.

what kinda bread did you have? did you have butter?

A lb off is better than a lb on, and a lb is a lot of weight if you weigh it out on the kitchen scales. i have to cook for my 5 kids, and i honestly look at their food and dont want, it never made me happy eating it before so it certainly isnt going to make me happy now! ketosis helps 110%

yes!!!! i have to keep checking that im having the right amounts. i had salad last night and my plate was piled,and i had to check i could have it.

positive vibes, take one day at a time x

Although the bars are small, i find them quite hard to eat theyre rich and dense.

coke zero and dr pepper zero are allowed, read the labels if it says citric acid and has a carb count, dont go near it.

weekends are always harder, but youve stuck to it and thats all that matters, try and make drinking a good pint of fluid your priority when you get up tomorrow im not sure pepsi max is allowed tho:/ that might be why you feel peckish? heres the problem with pepsi max...Pepsi is made with...

my husband weighs me every monday and hides the scales inbetween. The only person i have to answer to is myself, but then if i cheat im only hurting myself i dont see the point.

Its such a low calorie diet that skipping packs can put you into starvation mode, your body will hold onto the fat for energy so you MUST have all packs/ 7lbs is a magnificant amount, thats like a newborn baby!!!!!

Have a sleep, things will seem better. think about how much weight youve lost!!

How awful, r.i.p poor man. My mom died just recently, she was tiny and i remember looking at her coffin and thinking, omg they would never get me in there!! thats what spurred me onto taking responsability for my weight, id hate for my husband and kids to have to fork out for a custom made...

chicken curry stew

Thanks thought i was going mad, yea i try and eat most of it but thats a fab way of looking at it, medicine to get rid of the fat. lol

does anyone have this problem? i have my protein and veg and pack and i struggle to finish it, maybe its the ketosis its just like oh i cant be bothered to eat it a few mouthfuls and my hunger is gone, anyone else find this?

Good luck!

knight - rider

yay! so much easier in ketosis, weirdly tho id never heard of it before.

My son thinks the same!! grrr i coulda killed him for eating one.

i have the same amount to lose, and this is the first 'diet' ive stuck to! drink loads of water (soooo much easier to do when you use the flavourings) once you get past the 1st week it really is mega easy, i dont get hunger like mad raving hunger where i used to eat anything to satisy the...

it also depends on if you were a big sugar taker, if you drank fat coke, ate white bread etc.....people who have already cut these things out wont have such a big loss as someone who stopped then started the plan. fill a carrier bag with 4lb in weight and carry it round, see how long it takes...

we have our 'mini' holiday to brean in 3 weeks and im going to carry on without a break, then our big holiday to egypt in oct and ill deffo be stopping then for 2 weeks!!

Ha, im not i just wanted my stone badge today.

how frustrating, a 1lb off for a stone!!! :mad:

cottage pie over cauli nom nom

yes, i have to cook for my husband and 5 kids....it doesnt bother me cooking it but i insist they scrape their plates into the bin rather than leave them on the side as i KNOW i would pick. As long as i know my food is waiting to be cooked im ok. weirdly i have cooked for them from scratch a...

are you drinking enough fluids? the water really does speed up weight loss. 13lbs in 3 weeks is nearly a stone, thats pretty good going just imagine 13lbs x2 is 26lb youre doing great, and just keep thinking its coming off not going on!

Chuck it, not worth the risk.

I couldnt live without the orange! drinking water is so much easier with it.

maybe you could try a shake for breakfast, i dont think the bars are a good start to the day. The thing is while this diet controls our intake of food so allowing us to lose weight, it doesnt sadly deal with our head issues. we have to work thro them and boy are they challenging! are you really...

This ^^^ really made me LOL.

oatmeal, tastes just like ready brek! i'm so lovin this 'diet' i think going on lipotrim for a week has made me appreciate it sooooooooo much downside, stupid me only ordered 2 oatmeals for 2 weeks. :mad:

Ooo I shall try that:)

frylight it is then....thankies.

what do you all use to stir fry? ive been just using water which doesnt have the same effect.

dont beat yourself up, 5 stone is massive achievement!

im going to sharm, really excited!

yea no problem!

its lovely to eat real food isnt it, ive just had a prawn stirfry with chilli poured on top nom nom.

better to grab a chicken breast than a pack of crisps, dont beat yourself up.

ooooooo im going to egypt also, but not until oct x

WOW give yourself a massive pat on the back, that is brilliant well done you!

hurry back and tell us how you got on.:)

well done! xx

That's a bit lax of your chemist, if the worst comes to the worst...have chicken, boiled egg, with green veggies.

The blip has happened, forwards now.

sounds great, i think the meal is whats sold it for me, having that to look forward to makes all the difference.

Thankyou, after being on lipotrim i think im going to realllllly appreciate s&s. thanks for clarifying.

hello all, ive been on lipotrim a week and plan to move to slim and save, it sounds ideal for me. i cant get my head around this, please bare with me im not usually so thick. if i have the 3 packs,so my 3rd pack will be a meal i can add on 100g of protein and 200g of veg? and i can have any mix...

then we can join in life, rather than trying to avoid it this^^^ 100%

yes, youll go into starvation mode and your body will hold onto the fat, plus you needa have all 3 for your daily needs.

wow well done:D

im on day 2 also, and i think its to do with frame of mind....im not over the moon at having to drink these shakes but they will get me to where i want and need to be. a lot of being sucessful at losing the weight is dealing with your head 1st, try and think of these shakes as the key that...

Thanks everyone, really really appreciate the support x yesterday went really well, no hunger just kept drinking. i split my shakes into 2 and had each half with 500ml, i think thats going to work best for me, im loving the chocolate and aim to have it hot tonight! today i have the most...

hi, just to introduce myself, I'm Helen and after being weighed today im heavier than i thought.....but i wont let that get me down im starting today and it feels weird to say im rather looking forward to it!! anyone else starting today? :)
