    Santas little...Slimmers!

    youll know from past experience the first 2/3 days are no fun :( stick to it and keep distracted- paint your nails, run a bath, read...whatever you can think off and as soon as those first few days are through with it should ease up and plus you will start loosing weight, yay! x

    Santas little...Slimmers!

    I don't think I could do the diet without the soups! its the only thing they offer that actually feels like im eating something substantial! a lot of people say they taste powdery but I don't get that taste personally but then again I add 400ml water rather than the minimum of 225ml so maybe it...

    Santas little...Slimmers!

    oh fair enough, yeh I certainly don't think id spend any less on food if anything I bet I spent more I just don't like the thought of being heavily overcharged, I understand for most consultants its there way of earning a living but if some can charge quite a bit less I find it a bit annoying...
