Hey Guys, I'm wanting to get back on this diet but have started recently taking metaformin tablets for type 2 diabetes. Anyone in a similar situation who may have found it to be a problem?

Day 1- Taking the plunge today, feeling fab this morning got lots of inspiration and mentally motivated again. This is it no more going off plan it doesn't work! 3rd time lucky ey! Having my oatmeal and watching some dual dynamics for thinspiration as well as reading through everyone's diaries...

Thanks girls! Clinquant staying in and getting on with it is what I planned on doing my social life each year has been rubbish with studies and when I do get a chance to go out I just don't bother because I feel so bad. Iv'e even become a recluse to family. The initial plan was to spend the...

Aww I just seen this!, It's so good to reflect on things and understand them a little better. Hope your doing well I pm'd you hun not sure you have it. xXx

So had a crappy start to this week! Monday was just a downer day and it was just down hill from there. Ended up going over to see family on Tuesday after feeling regret for not seeing them since xmas (we don't live that far from each other) So made an effort to spend time with them which I...

Hey Tara, That is usually my go to or how I usually start the day but it hasn't worked today. I think this is more of a chemical imbalance and not psychological thing as I suffer from some medical problems and mood swings are part of it only iv'e noticed they have been a bit more obvious this...

It's been ok thanks Tara, just feeling a bit on the ill side so a bit miserable at the moment. Off out for a bit to get some fresh air. Hope I don't fall ill properly! fingers crossed** xXx

I know the days are flying by it feels a little unreal at the moment. Day 5 seemed to have sprung up from no where! I almost feel like im muddled up my days and is counting wrong. The last week has felt like a bit of a dream. But I have had a lot to occupy my days so I'm super busy with other...

Hey Amanda, you'll get there in no time! I bet your really excited for the size 10! I would be ahha :D

Hey Tara! Glad to hear you pulled through and are having a great day. Yes I can't wait for week 4 either :P x

Hey! well done you are doing exceptionally well. It's nice to see that a few on us this time are 2nd timers and there is something about the second time around being a lot more focused! I feel your excitement to the run into the 15's yay!

I can't believe it's Day 4 gone already! The days are flying by!.. haha Clinquant! Iv'e been trying to avoid smelling any food at the moment been hiding away until today got a woff of a bbq when I was out earlier and today bf decided to have fried egg on toast! hangover* Although I was surprised...

LOL Tara! Your words and thoughts echo mine, it's so weird! I totally understand the mind set you are in this does feel so different this time. The past mistakes i'm convinced are the reasons for it too, I feel much more ready and in control of my mind and thoughts process, I remember the first...

lol Tara that quote so true!! Clinquant It is so much easier the 2nd time around and I know just how much damage can occur from the tiniest cheats it's just not worth it at all! Like Tara said everytime you do something you are reinforcing the habit. I want to do this 100% this time and stick...

Thanks gurls! haha Priya I do love my food so love all types of fish *I know shocking*:rolleyes: Tara ooh that sounds delish! How did you find lighterlife before this? are the losses similar? We can definitely do this! Day 3 now just waiting to have protein meal! Not felt hungry all day...

Morning Guys! Amanda my weigh in days are non existent at the moment lol I got a bit obsessed with them last time. I do want to weigh in each week but i'm playing on the idea of weighing after my 28 day goal. But we shall see next Thursday as that will be my official 1st week!. Tara I could...

I know it's fab you are nearly a week into it already it goes so fast! I think weighing yourself every few weeks shows great determination! Iv'e limited myself to the home scales this time like you it played on my mind and I really want to succeed this time!. Meditating sounds like a good idea...

Aww Priya you need to stop worrying sweets. The gains from re feeding wont be so drastic as long as you eat sensibily and stay within your limits then it should start seeing losses again. You just have to allow your body time to understand what the hell your doing to it haha. You just need to...

Im glad your days have gone well Amanda I love the chilli con carne too! The bars are amazing! I didn't get any this time I loved them so much last time I remember they were always on my mind and the wafers haha so to nip the head games in the butt I just avoided ordering some this time...

Hey Dee haha I know two cherries! I know it's really weird were similar in ages and goals It must just be the loom of 30 haha well it is for me being 29 for the last few week feels weird im 1 year off 30 and no way am I doing it like this heck no! You've done awesome to get down to 12 stone...

I feel so much better now thanks! I think it was just my body getting used to such limited amount of calories as soon as I had a couple of my packs I started to perk back up again. Had my protein meal salmon with rocket salad I decided to add in some broccoli and cauliflower to warm myself back...

Hey Tara! Im glad your day went really well I love your determination I know what you mean about the packet before bed thing Im not sure if it's just comforting or something to do with past eating habits I got myself into some bad late night eating whilst studying. It took a while to shift. I...

Hey Tara, It's like reading my own life there! you are doing really well! hope your days going ok.

Day 2 Wahoo! I'm really happy I got here. Woke up yesterday feeling really positive and just focused on getting through the day had many temptations and near sabotage moments but came away 100% Infact by the late evening I started to feel the effects of ketosis or what I remember it being like...

ahh man you just mirroring my emotions atm!! I feel the same studying with no idea why but I reckon it's down to low self esteem with me! Taking time out to think about your next move is wise. The only problem with me is I'm a sucker for learning I know I should take a year out and focus on...

Hey Guys I'm back Tara you are bang on there! Getting your mind into gear is a challenge and it's about finding what works to get you to stay on track! I finally started yesterday so currently in day 2! will update diary and go and find yours! Hey Amanda Welcome! Looks like iv'e started at a...

Thanks Priya! ahh it's nice having someone get it people think studying is easy lol. I didn't go to uni straight away did the 9-5 thing and went to Uni later in my 20's and it's been a lot more demanding of my time and my life! haah but yeah it's a tough gig esp when all you want to do is write...

Hey Amanda? Well done on resisting on your first day! and also on your past 4st weight loss. Slim and save has definitely seen fabulous results and I'm sure you will see your next 2 stone off in no time Sadia xXx

hahaha omg the joggers incident made me lol. I feel your pain cats are good at being evil!

So true Tara! I want to start as I mean to go on and yesterday I was just in the wrong frame of mind. Watching YouTube videos sounds like an awesome idea! I'm going to do the same. You sound like you've really got the right attitude I love it. Have you got a diary?

Sorry Guys! I went a bit awol yesterday not started yet but will be this week! Welcome cherry course you can! Tara those sound like great ideas! I love them I want to do all those things.. My Diary is in the Diaries section I'll try and link to it in my signature. Iv updated it atm hopefully...

Hey Guys! Starting yesterday didn't happen for me I started off the day quite down i'm in my last year at Uni and everyone got their degree grades first thing and that was it I just shut down! Im currently on deferral for a string of problems which are all weight related!! It was another...

Hey, Iv'e finally caught up with your Diary! haha. It's been really good to read you're doing so well. Good on you! Not that long now to go hope I keep this going just as long need to start seeing results! Hope your days going well xXx

Hi Tara! lol @ the pee! haha I'm glad you weren't as nauseated today! We can definitely do this just take it a step at a time. Weighing in every 3 weeks sounds like a good plan! I want to try and limit my weigh ins too as it messes with my head also lol. Iv'e decided once a week which is...

Thanks Hun! I will be stopping by many diaries whilst on this for sure!. Hope it's just as busy as last time I was on this. Sadia xx

Hi Guys, A bit about myself - I'm not a newbie to vlcd's or to Slim and Save in particular. It's been nearly 2 years now since I came across the concept of Vlcd diets and started s&s. To cut a long story short my first journey was quite sporadic and I did my best to loose as much as I could...

Hi Tara!! I wasn't able to start today as planned the package from Slim&Save arrived later then I expected. Im a returning VlCD-er It worked well for me before before I moved on (which I regret doing now) It's been about 17 months since I was last on it so I am really excited about starting it...

If you are starting on Monday and want a buddy let me know ;)

Dry Brushing has been known to work wonders! Also coco butter pregnancy firming lotion you can get from boots seems to work a treat too. Persistance is key!

Good to see you back, I too need to start this xmas has seen me spiral out of control. :( 7 weeks is doable. Just keep coming on here and get some support. xx

http://www.minimins.com/slim-save/299783-interesting-s-s-news.html yep as far as this thread is concerend they should be available in the new year!

Hi love, Im fine now. I usually have a chicken protein meal but for a few days went for cod. At 100G a meal but didn't think to look into protein for each 100g doh so I was missing quite a bit overall those few days. Hopefully all should be good now. Cant wait to get back on :) x

3 with protein meal. or 4 straight packs. Good luck xx

congrats nettee! That's fab.. Not shredded since last week, ended up with heart palpitations which were due to lack of protein from vlcd so gone a bit awol. So will be joining u guys again hopefully within next few days. Well done again xx

Well christmas do never happened, got to 8pm and I was shattered so hit the sack! Felt like a really bad week and just never fully got back on the sns wagon 100% . Nearly got there last night and then in the evening b4 bed just sabbotaged myself! waaa. So today really is the closest Iv'e gotten...

Mulled wine tastes a bit like blackcurrent lempsip! haha

defo worth it, you can be near a stone off before xmas! stick to it 100% it will be so worth it! good luck x

Ugh really lost myself now! Decided I may aswell attend the xmas do I was contemplating, Iv'e struggled to get back on 100% and it's down to not deciding wether or not I wanted a good run b4 xmas. So decided to go out and just chill. Going to shred to keep myself in check don't want to be un...

I do but apparently they arn't very reliable, so gave up using them. I think it must be just appetite I suppose! Altho Iv'e gone well over 100g crabs last few days and still feel supressed, unless I fall in and out quite easily.

I just lost my focus and momentum for 24hours!! Back on it today!!!... And despite going mental Iv'e dropped another 2lbs wahoo!. Actually didn't lose anything for a week. So this kicked started my motabolisim. So all good now. About to place a order for xmas as Iv'e run out of all my best meals...

Well, ended up at my mums over the weekend. Was doing really well and was proud of myself pulling through a really bad week for me last week. When I left I ended up getting stranded out in the cold for such a long time and just decided to have the night off just to make myself feel better when I...

I only look at a slice of bread to come outta ketosis :( hahahha

Iv'e found other threads of being advised to up carbs a good week before consuming alchol. I find if I only have 1 day of carbs over 100g I don't fall out of ketosis. Iv'e based this on hunger, as well as the general feeling of how my body feels. I find my appetite is still supressed like Im...

Are the only signs of being kicked out of ketosis, feeling hungry?

hahah aww hun, as long as you enjoyed it. Sooo true I always wonder how mindless I was before eating so much and ignoring all the signs I was full. This diet has really re-evaluated my relationship with food and over eating. xx

Aww happy for you sweety. Well done on the 3lbs:clap:

It deff sounds like lack of protein. I started working out whilst on this diet and started with sore muscles which took longer to recover, and then ended up with heart palpitations. As soon as I upped my protein everything went back to normal. Listen to your body and don't over strain yourself...

Thanks hun, Yep that is my plan, and see how I go if it happens again. I'l increase to another pack. But from what I have learned from palpitation it's deffinetly the lack of proteins in my diet, my body was suffering immensly. And just how quickly Iv'e responded to my high protein meal last...

Thanks I have alot of them all another 21-28 days worth of supplies but I always have my oatmeal first as I love this first thing in the morning. I don't need to place another order but I really want this mulled wine they are giving away for free and really want oatmeal in the morning. Hmm i...

Feel much better this morning yay! This diet plays rotten tricks on your state of mind, if anything goes out of sync boom you have to ride through the motions, in order to keep on track. I don't usually feel so rubbish at things but the last couple of days have been hard to pull out of. Anyhoooo...

Had a rotten couple of days, my mood is at it's lowest it's been in a loooooooong while. Iv'e lost my focus but despite not coming off plan (mainly due to appetite suppression) Iv'e decided to order a meal in. I just can't face making a protein meal today. Decided to go high protein mainly so...

Great news! defo you are going in the right direction well done :) xx

That's great 2lb loss! And defo wnat to try encorporating a egg omelette sometime :)

Thanks guys! It does help to vent :) Yeah a nice bath and some soup helped loads. I know they don't reccoment giving up smoking and dieting but it did help me. Ahhh I knew there was a connection It's the only thing that could have been the case as I usually don't feel that way but I think bodies...

Ahhh sorry guys! if my last post sounded a bit foul! I realised after my wording could have been a little better!! .. eeek! ...Feeling a little better now. Never felt like that in my life and it was really scary. Up until today I thought axiety related symptoms were caused from over reaction...

Getting back on after a blip is more mentally challenging in my opinion, always be kind to yourself when you do and just carry on. A diary does help loads!!... Aww I'm sure we can all relate to the 100% and scales not moving but I think it's just one of those things that come with dieting...

I think It may be stress and the diet combined, Im not going to think about it, just going to take it easy today. Thanks hun xXx

I'm feeling ill today. Yesturday started off so promising until around 3pm got a un-expected visit from a friend who I havn't seen in a few weeks so didnt get what I had planned done. To top it off family were putting me off. Anyway not sure if it's connected but I ended up waking up this...

Well done, as everyone has said. 1 stone in 2 weeks is brilliant! xx

Day 30! omg, The time really flies when you get into the swing of things on this diet. Had a good day 29 yesturday felt very pro-active. and it's leaked into today. When I realised it was day 30 I immediately started thinking about food to treat myself arggh! Why do we do it to ourselves...

Hope your having a better day today sweets xx

haha stubble rash! lovely. Well done for getting to day 14 xxx

Well done bananas, ur will power is amazing!... I know once you get past week 2 the time just flies. xx

Well done :D

Ok So i kept my promise to myself to get in a shred first thing, and I did! I wasn't actually looking forward to it when I woke but I knew If I didn't I would start getting back into bad habbits. So I just ploughed my way through it. And boy am I glad I did!. I managed to get through circuit 1...

Oh dear has it really been 4 days since my last shred! nooo, Well despite not shredding long which wasn't my intention, today went really well!! I really handled the moves alot better I feel like my posture during them is better and I am also breathing properly through them Hooorah!. The only...

yup not had chance to get it done today! On it first thing in morn tho!. weirdly excited! waaa :O

Good luck for tomz! x

Great first week loss. hope you achieve your next target :) x

This months going to be a challenge, but lets go for it! Caketalks - 12.5 (0lbs lost : 12.5lbs to go) Welshtigger 14lbs (0lb lost ~ 14lbs to go) oO~SaDiA~Oo -10lbs (0lbs lost~10lbs to go)

Ok so got up at half 8, have to go out this morning and wont be back until afternoon, so not had chance to shred yet! Have got a really sore area on my tummy, like a rash, had it the last few days and I really hoped it would have gone by now but it's not :( despite taking a fair few ibuprofen...

Thanks, Bananas, It's ok but I'm really bad at making decisions :( that's why I think I find it easy to just to ingore it. I don't feel like Iv'e lost enoug to come of plan just jet but I'm hoping by my next weigh In I can make a decision.

twit twoo haha, yeah u'l be fine if uv knocked urself out ul get back in asap! x

Gosh if I was working nights Id have prolly given into those treats well done!! It's so true leaving the scales alone helps you stay far more focused. Aslng as u stay 100% it's going to go in the right direction so what's the point in torturing ursel! *she says whilst daily weighing herself* doh!

Day 28: Done! 100% not felt as hungry today or deprived altho I had a few quick naughty flashes of cheat thoughts cross my mind :whoopass: But I just ignored it. The only good thing at the moment is that I'm sleeping so well on this diet im just needing to sleep mid way through the day too...

Iv'e started to feel a difference, Iv'e also given up smoking on this diet aswell! bit riskay! but before I was smoking more to compensate for the lack of food which is worse! starting to feel like i never will smoke again now. My oh smokes and i feel sick at the smell omg u managed 38g of...

Same here. a few weeks ago I was a insomniac and now it's like it's catch up time!!

Well done girl! The low cals don't help energy wise. But i defo feel the toning.

ooh the rocky road looked lovely! oo date, hope you have a good time hun x

It is! it's ruining my life atm :(, sorry i dont know much about the kfc menu :/ x

Welcome, and good luck. x

Had my last shake hazelnut over an hour ago now, Should prob try and get back to sleep, I don't want to become nocturnal. Day 28 today, had a sneeky on the scales! When I wasn't supposed to. Iv'e made a 11lbs loss. I made a promise to myself to loose 12lbs in November and if I make 12lbs by...

Congrats on the loss and the new job, your doing well x

Well done keep it up and you'l do great. And defo get that water down you it also helps to shift the fat quicker. good luck x

Hi Hi thought Id say hello, really enjoyed reading your diary! You've done so amazingly coming this far. 12lbs on your 1st week is just brill, I don't blame you for having will power of steel. xx

lol defo going to go for it. x

You should be fine, ok but sleeping patterns back to front boo

So today have had B; Oatmeal Lunch; Chicken breast, mushrooms,courgettes and leaf spinach and rocket salad. Unfourtunatly this diet plays tricks on my sleeping pattern and when I have my protein meal It sends me to sleep. I'm hoping this is going to sort itself out! Iv'e had a brief encounter...

You know iv'e only started realising the concept of treating myself with things that arn't food! Up until this diet I just saw food, wine and a good movie as the only way to wind down. I really want to treat myself to a spa, for a full body massage. Never liked the idea before but put my body...

We can do it, if we step to it haha!

I would take the weekend off excersise, and allow your muscles to repair deffinetly. I don't think the excersise is slowing your loss just yet, think you just need to get back into deep ketosis. I'm only aiming at around 3-4 times a week for now. xXx

Welcome welcome! It's deffinetly been the best thing for me. Also read on slim and saves site that they encourage light aerobics whilst on plan and shread fits the bil for me! :)

Iv'e had days like this on this diet, I wondered if this could be due to fat burning? theres various ways fat exists. just a thought lol. Just make sure your replacing your fluid and it should stop.

Im aiming at 14lbs before xmas im sure it can be done :)

Hello my names Sadia Im 27 and have been overweight most of my life, and it's spiraled out of control. It's started to badly effect my health and needed to make a drastic decision. Ok so this is my 2nd diary for this diet!... I started at the end of July this year and kept a diary alongside...

Hi Hi, Have you taken anything if you are in pain hun? see if that shifts the cold feeling. Good on you for being strong today xx :)

The chocoshake is deffinetly best as a pudding. Vile as a shake!

I did think about adding it on but Im planning on sticking with level 1 for over 10 goes as I really need to build my endurance.. ahh u guys are making me curious about the other levels but I don't trust myself with them just yet hhaha. Don't want to put myself off or feel diflated if I try and...

Good idea! I don't know why I didn't think of this lol. I do the workout at 6am so I'm still half asleep. But I will deffo do this next time. xx

Hey hun, good luck. Iv'e also been told excersise speeds up ketotsis aswell as helping to deepen it. Makes sense really since you are using energy. From my own experience I started the vlcd back in the summer and didnt excersise didnt suffer from any ketosis side effects. Restarted a few week...

Day 5 done! Still struggle with circuit 1, maybe because i'm not fully warmed up but the moves are becoming easier to handle now especially the knee press ups, but I still need some knee pads hehe. RawrGirl -- @ Level 1 (11 done, 19 to go) dominoes -- @ Level 1(0 done, 20 to go) BerryBerry -- @...

Day 3 done on this thread, 5 since I started last wednesday. It's gotten much easier but I'm still struggling with circuit 1. It may be because I'm not fully warmed up. Able to do the knee press ups a little better but knees still dig in! arg I may get some knee pads haha. Well done everyone...

Nettee Iv'e been looking into c25k recently and despite not being a runner the forum iv'e been on has really motivated me to become one. And just like squishy has said. Alot of people convert to becoming runners and eventually progress furthur, I really like the idea of becoming a runner there...

Not made it to a tescos yet, but got some yogi tea- choc which I really like. Thought it would prob be similar

Oooh I hope so! I'm getting into the swing of it now, after failing so badly at the beggining. Did't manage past 5 mins haha! I may have a sneak at level 2 after a few more attempts.

sorry u feel like s**t Hun! I felt like that at times too also you've had the same prob with me with this insomnia malarkey, which was messing with my state of mind and rationalising. I felt like it pulled me into a mild depression for a bit. How has your sleeping gone lately? Iv'e also had a...

woo blossom go you and your cold! well done. x

As We are approaching the run up to xmas,I thought it would be a good idea to keep us fellow slim & savers motivated. This is what just 1lb of fat looks like! take it 1lb off at a time, ladies and gents!!

woo your doing great! I did not know dry mouth was a sign of fat burning! I thought I was majorly dehydrated haha!.

Thanks Bananas...... I fill up two buxton 50cl bottles with water and use as weights :P. might fill up with gravel next lol... I really like this dvd,usually I get bored once i get used to the routine, but this is broken down just right for me, it just flies by. Good luck to you all xx

Hi Guys! wow today was alot more difficult, I was already sore from yesturday morning. But decided to try my best found different parts tougher than yesturday and others easier than yesturday for instance. Jumping jacks and jumping on the spot, funny enough easier than yesturday. But the knee...

you look fab kellmo! your pic oozes with confidence. congratulations girl!! :))

It would be good if slim and save offered tetras too. Along with the wafers this would make days when im unable to prepare my meal really convieniant. Maybe we should pitch the idea to them!

The wafers are an absolute god send! They are just the thing I need for the odd sweet cravings I get and they are huge! The chocolate ones are my favorite too but I dont mind the strawberry ones either not tried the vanilla yet!

I have bars/wafers but are only allowed 1 of this per day! Im currently doing slim n save so no tetras unfourtunatly :(

Hi Guys, Just some advice needed, I'm off to a convention tommorow in the south so will include a really early morning and long distance travelling. I wanted to know how people stay on plan 100% when there is no place to make up shakes/meals etc. I plan on having my breakfast before I set off...

Hi Guys, Just some advice needed, I'm off to a convention tommorow in the south so will include a really early morning and long distance travelling. I wanted to know how people stay on plan 100% when there is no place to make up shakes etc?

Iv'e been told before it aids weight loss, bu the rest is a bonus too! Im slowly replacing my need for coffee with green tea. :)

Oh How funny, Iv'e just been reading up on primal/paleo? diet on here. Thanks! :)

I read that the concept of a vlcd was designed by a Dr who used it to help patients with epilepsy who had progressively gotten worse when they put on lots of weight. Food has much more nuerological effects as well as physical effects. I recently got diagnosed with dyslexia, which has deffinetly...

Thanks nzmegs for the suggested reading material I am deffinetly going to read both these! This vlcd has opened my eyes to how low carb is the sustainable way to go. The benefits for me have been instantaneous. Not just physical but overall mental health. Going to read these and start planning...

The variable seems to be due to lifestyle, the more active one is the ability to stay in ketosis with more carbs is higher.

I like the sound of the e-cig, Iv'e started slim and save and also find im wanting to smoke more, guess it's to fill in the times Id have otherwise reached for the packet of busicuits. :P I'm also certain mine is habit of the hands as I also hate smoking grr! Going to give the e-cigs a go and...

Thanks guys! :)

I'm really interested in the science behind food and our bodies. I believe it can vary for each individual but is there a agreed maximum? :) xXx

Well Done!! It's my 1st day today also. Here to day 2!

Iv'e also started today feeling really positive and very organised this time! Lets do this peeps!...... What are people using to txt. I don't have bbm anymore unfourtunatly but I can get whatsapp or sms xx

Im starting tommorow also. I have quite alot to loose also, daunting but just can't wait to be in ketosis again. xx

Helloo. I am also in the same predicument. I'm really struggling to get my head into focus and often start the plan half heartedly!...... Before just going off plan completely!. I need to set a date and start as I mean to go on! I will deffinatly buddy up with you if you will have me, this is...

This happened to me on day 4 too the very first time I tried Slim and Save it was also the first time I had tried a VLCD. My arms were really achey and as you describe felt like the achey feeling you get from doing an intense workout. It lasted a fair while so I took some ibuprofen and went to...

I think majority are saving on this plan,unless you grow your own food you'll be saving alot lol... Also I'm eating ''normal'' sized portions instead of 3 portions per meal or somthing greedy lol.

Hello and welcome :) You will get a set of instructions with your pack. The veg allowance is there is you want it daily along with 150ml skimmed milk... The plan is either 3 packs along with 100g protein and the veg allowance. Or you can do 4 packs with veg in there somewhere. You can alternate...

I love the oatmeal and sweet porridge, the oatmeal has become a craving over the days and iv'e started to dislike some of the meals I used to like at the start. guess tastebuds change on this alot ugh I gotta force around 15 packs of tomato chilli dwn my throat now boo hiss.

Just seen it too, congratulations and well done on your success. xXx

The gurgle* was like when your food digests, but like on super over drive and the bubble feeling was weird too. There was no pain. I read some people have gone through this when on vlcd and it is normal. But as there was sucrose and lactose in the tables I wasn't sure it was a reaction to this...

Thanks guys seems to have settled back down now xx

Thank you, I took the 2nd one after my protein meal and veg and that seems to have been the one to cause rumble in the bronx on my stomach haha. Not so much concerned about being kicked out now as it's so little so wud go back in soon. more interested about the gurgling as Iv'e read on here its...

Took 1 ibuprofen early this afternoon for totm cramps. took another 1 a few hours ago and not so long after my stomach is making a louud gurrgling noise and im getting a bubbling sensation in my stomach too. I didn't think to check b4 as my concern was subsiding the cramps, but since the...

good luck xxx

I love to pop by now and again at other vlcd forums and find inspiration in them all. I came across your post and I thought I'd reccommend slim and save to you it's another vlcd but has waaay more variety and the losses are similar if not the same as cd and the other vlcds. The meals are all...

Hope you feel better soon x

So glad things have settled again Rachel your doing so good. Your going to get to goal I can see your success story now!! Well done girl xxx

Im sure ul smash that goal and extra :) x

You look stunning Kellmo, Well done on you success xXx

Hey just caught up with your diary. I hope things have sorted themselves out for you. Few weeks late, but I thought i'd mention my energy levels dropped too the first week I was on this plan. My arms were heavy and I just wanted to sleep. I didn't do much excersise before so it was hard to...

Ahh im on day 3 now of my restart I do have more energy now than I did when I first started this plan. I havn't worked out in years that prob has something to do with it then if you are used to excersise before the plan. hahaha I'd say it's a bit optimistic to say it was goodluck, it is rank...

Thats' more than enough time to shift 19lbs on this plan xx

Monica, there's a supermodel on your diary? Oh wait, it's you :O :O Fabulous loss and bloody stunning dress! xx

hahahah just re-read that post! Well yes you are ''Exciting Stuff' lol Iv'e read through your entire diary, back from when you were on LT to S&S and it was very exciting stuff!! Woman! you should be crowned for your achievement. Is there a Slimmer of the year award or something for slim &...

Hahaha oh my a gentle workout?! I tried 3d shred and managed 5 mins!! on this plan hehe.. Iv'e read to wait a good month before any excersise on a vlcd, did you find your energy levels resume back to normal levels as time went on Rebekah? Hope your havign a good day xXx

It is a toughy getting back on plan your not alone on that one..hehe.. Glad your back to it chick, oooo congrats on your new job tommorow xXx

Congrats hun you look faboulous. xx

That workout sounds hardcore :O Good on you chick xx

Hope you got back on track today ok hun. x

Sorry your feeling blue hun. Don't think too much into it everyone has their ups and downs and you sound very head strong. I found myself over thinking some posts that putt me off a little on here too and it didn't help my mindset. I started off really focused. I too did the same used the other...

Good idea to hold off for a few more days. I need to chuck my scales in the bin cant keep off them either!!. And want2bme.. just carry on don't be dissheartned. Maybe you should concider holding off the scales for a bit longer x

I hope your new regime works out for you hun. Exciting stuff :) xx

Thank youu! It's so easy to loose on this. ooo Just had a look and yes the water flavourings have no limit! it's just the savoury one! I'm going to order some and make some ice lollies hehe. I know i'm glad I came acorss this but wish it was alot earlier. I don't think I would survive on a all...

Ooooo I bet your excited! I loved it when I found out about vlcd it felt like xmas haha sad I know! I can try and help as much as I can; 1: The meals come in sachets in a powder form, follow the instructions that come with the pack and your on your way.. 2; The instructions have a list of...

Thanks Guys! :D :D I'd also seen some posts about people not loosing so much because they were on a vlcd before but I don't think my metabolism slowed down as I wasn't on it long enough for it to slow down. Also I think the first 2 days I was on Juddd I did two up days together which I think...

Iv'e lost 9lbs alltogether!!! :D so pleeeased! I initially put on a few lbs within the first 2 days after coming off my vlcd. But as the days progressed I found I was yo yoin alot on the scales depending on a dd or up but i guess that's common on this plan. I am so relieved as it's all been...

Monica, I just want to comment on your faboulous photogrophy, food has never looked so good lol. hope ur having a fab day xx

Hope your DD was lovely :) x

Thanks hun, excited :D xx

That's ace..I gained on my first up day but if i was dropping a 1lb minimum every day since. That's the same as what was happening on vlcd. Only I dnt have to worry about feeling hungry. It's brilliant! You are indeed hehe enjoy your lunch x

Isn't it just!, I feel the same I don't feel like im dieting. im just eating a different way so to speak.... I'm loving it so far. I wish I found it years ago lol I'm already hooked x

That's brilliant!! Chick! It's such a buzz seeing those lbs shift off so quickly. This is by far the best plan. Have a fab day. PS your pancakes look sooooo mourish yumm :D xx

lol...Iv'e not been able to find ur diary? Have u got one passion? Unless im looking in the wrong place? That wudn't be un-usual for me lol x

I was the same my 2nd dd was alot more difficult, but as mentioned above plenty of water and diet drinks occasionally do help. But they do get easier once you get into the swing of things. x

Hey cable, I remeber you from Slim & save. How are u finding Juddd? xx

Not my official weigh in until Friday, but Iv'e just had a sneaky weigh in. And if it continues to drop before friday then Iv'e dropped the same amount I did on my first week on vlcd :O. Not going to log it but I would be extremely pleased as I put on quite a fair bit when I swapped from vlcd...

Just had the Curry, it's yummy. nom nom

It is, I didn't have too much of a problem with *toilet duty* on the vlcd fortunatly. But it is nice to see the benefits of this plan unfold, so to speal lol..... I'm really curious about the book, hopefully there's more goodies in there to read. HAHAH passionflower I love your sense of...

Buzzing today. Iv'e adjusted well to normal eating again. I'm not feeling depressed or moody just feel content :D... Iv'e done some research about Dr Johnsson. and already looked into the webite info. Iv'e been trying to find the book for days but Amazon wont dispatch for ages and other places...

I did my DD yesturday and felt great. I kept thinking I changed over for a reason. It's just a week and I can re asses after. So decided to honor my decision and stick it out a full week. And get it into my head that there are other ways in order to do this healthily lol. I literally had a...

I agree it's very similar to s&s spicy tomato. I don't overly hate the spicy tomato but the tomato soup being similar is boring. I too think the soups are filling but out of all the ones Iv'e had the tomato soup is a huge let down. Only ordered 5 so not too dissapointed. But wont be ordering any...

Thanks Passion Flower, I didn't expect such a drama from it but it goes to show what happens when you see something through xx So true Hannah, it's horrible, I guess i'd forgotten what happened when I ate junk! And the reminder was too much to cope with. Iv'e fasted a few times before starting...

Congrats Hun, That's so amazing. :D xx

Had an emotional weekend bleurgh, how embaressing lol. But the whole point on keeping a diary is to monitor your events. I had such a mood reaction to food and I guess it was hightened more than usual because I have been on a vlcd for nearly two weeks! But anyway I marched on for my DD and...

After reading many posts where people have read books to help them with understanding food, understanding their emotions etc I thought it would be a good idea to set up a thread for us all to reccomend some reading material. I'm not sure if this has been done before and appologies if it has. I...

awww no apperance just the song :( I got a little excited when queen came on, Nice suprise :D x

I didn't care for 1 direction, I think they should hide them in those dustbins. It's rumoured Kate Bush is making an entrance. I do hope so, love her x

Im sad too it's coming to an end. :( haha I loved stomp I'm planing on joing once I get slim lol. Im going to practice my routine with the broom on my next clean :D x

I'm buzzing the opening cermony was brill! Hoping the closing one is just as fab! And spice girls woop xx:D

Stef! that's meee lol you hit the nail right on the head. I didn't think it would go like that, I planned on eating healthy balanced meals but when it came down to it, I was needing to eat more than I would normally. And filled in the rest with rubbish and just felt ill :cry: I'm glad I gave it...

Oh wow that sounds brilliant, good luck with your skype meeting. I'm sure you'll know what feels best soon hun xXx :D

Ohh wow great loss!! even so 4lbs loss without the stress is great! oOOOOh that's defo fate, and such an incentive. What is it you were doing with them? I'd love to work abroad I really want to work over in the netherlands or denmark or sweden, germany or anywhere in Europe tbh haha.... But...

What a difference 48 hours can make!... I made the decision to jump onto the Juddd wagon for a week. I went with the common 2 up days and I feel awful! Struggling to get 2000 cals a day! yeesh. Cant win on diets haha. it's my DD tommorow which is 500 cal tops! Been feeling soo ill today and...

hahah nice recruiting work going on there! A diary does help me too but I guess it's down to what people need. Also minimins is a great support as sometimes when you are struggling it's nice to be reminded that it's just part of the whole process and your not a loser, so to speak lol. Tbh I...

Thats great :D x

Hey, Thank you,i'm glad your liking it, hoping it works out for me too. Yeh I think there were more people on that forum so it was a little more lively, but everyones lovely on here too :) xx

On another UP day today, gotta say yesturday and today has been a stuggle to get in 2000 calories. Maybe because Iv'e just come off a vlcd. But Iv'e not eaten like this in a fair while now. Actually looking forward to my detox DD weird! x

Hi Onion breath x

Hello. My name is Sadia I'm 27 and overweight :P.. I decided to start a diary on here as I have decided to try out JUDDD for a week, to help me keep track of my days. I thought best I start a diary on here as I have found in the past this to work efficiently. I have been on slim and save...

haha I know what you mean about fun!, Iv'e been on sns for 2 weeks with 2 breaks and It's already alternated the way I think about food. I think this will work for the time being for me as eating less on s&s made me feel great but there were times I needed a carb boost just for mental...

Hey Sonia found your diary :P Iv'e come of s&s plan for just a week to sort myself out and I was concidering JUDDD in order for me to keep control of what I'm eating as it's a half way house from s&s and normal eating. You seem to be doing fab! How are you finding it? x

Dear Diary; Yesturday I decided to take a week off plan, im doing fine on plan during the day and I am sure I can keep to this diet under normal circumstances. The problem Im facing is when it comes to nights, I'm having to go to bed early-ish in order to keep the hunger away and at the moment...

Welcome Amy, look foreward to your diary x
