Hi all merry christmas I'm off the wagon for the moment next dd is 27th have a good festive period x

Well today hasn't gone well its totm and they have been paticularly unpleasant since I had my little girl 4mths ago It should have been a dd but I've picked and ate all day as I've just felt starving ( and still do) I can't decide whether to keep to my plan and have an UD tomorrow or whether I...

Official weigh in today had me 4lbs down from last Monday, I'm really pleased with that it means I've lost 16lbs between the vlcd and juddd since mid November, can't argue with that x

Well I didn't fully fast but other than drinks all I had was some mash and carrots. In bed now as been up since 4am with the baby so I won't be eating anything else. In looking forward to my good tomorrow he he x

Where the scales a little more kind this morning?

Hi bananas hope your having a good day? It's so hard to be good this time of year x

Blurgh after 2 ud's I'm sick of food, ready for today's dd and hopefully a full fast. I am finding it really difficult to sleep after ud's mainly due to the fact that I'm eating such rich food at Xmas do's and such like does this happen to anyone else? I'm looking forward to that lovely skinny /...

Hi thanks got the replies, my mini weigh in today showed around a 1lb loss which I am over the moon with as this was straight after losing a stone in 3 weeks on a vlcd, my official weigh in is Tuesday so any loss or even a small gain would be miraculous for me as I've had 2 3 course meals and a...

I'll do a little mini weigh in tomorrow as next dd is going to be Tuesday I'm really anxious about ud's sat and sun ill try to keep Sunday low ish but I'm still fighting the thought that it will blow any loss, even though my aim is just to sts over Xmas!! I'm a strange one. Do many people do...

My dd is 410 but I think a lot if people just use 500 as their dd limit x

I have a really poor metabolism but this alternate day eating seems to be suiting it. It will be easy to use your s&s stuff on a dd infact for the first 2 weeks its recommended that you use pre packed diet packs. I will be doing another 3 weeks of s & s in jan for a quick blast and then back to...

Bananas I've moved over to juddd for the festive period and so far it's working quicker than s & s! I've another 3 stone to lose but if it continues as it is I'll be staying with juddd my body much prefers it to a vlcd and so do I 2000 calories per day 4 days a week!! U might be surprised how...

I'm getting so excited as my weigh in after 2nd dd was very kind I'm actually starting to believe that I might manage this Xmas period not only without putting on 7lbs but sts or losing and that my friends is unheard of!!!! If this does happen I will be shouting juddd from the roof tops no more...

Well second dd in the bag, UD tomorrow but again I won't be able to count the cals as I'm having dinner at my friends and I've no idea what we are having? I'll count the cals until the evening to give me an idea as I really have no idea how much 2000 cal worth of food is?? That's what 15 years...

I know it's so weird it's been years since I've not looks at the back of food packaging! Are you at goal now? I've still got 3 stone to lose which I hope to do so by blasting slim and save again 3 times in the new year with juddd inbetween. I see juddd as a brilliant method for maintainence...

Well I'm finding this UD very odd, keep having to stop myself from trying to reduce my calories, I keep feeling guilty! However I'm sure I'll get used to it!

Well today's dd food has consisted of, Milk 32cals Egg white 50 cals Sf jelly 10 cals Quorn Cottage pie 219 cals 200g Cabbage 50 cals 150g strawberrys 45 cals = 404 cals my limit is 410 according to the calculator so not too bad. I have a 3 course Xmas lunch to look forward to tomorrow but I...

Another newbie here, good luck x

Right here's the plan, my weekend of pure excess ( which lead to me not being able to sleep due to bloating blurgh) has lead to a 2lb gain so I'm starting at 15.4lbs 10th dec dd 11th UD 12th dd 13th UD 14th dd 15th UD 16th id ill aim for around 1500 as I will be out drinking on 15th so I know...

I am starting judding over the festive period, I have just completed 3 weeks of slim and save vlcd and lost 14lbs. I am hoping to maintain with juddd until jan when I will probably blast slim and save again until I reach my ultimate goal of 4 stone lost, Calculator says 2000 for an UD and 410 DD...

Just a word of warning at the beginning of the week I had my 4 packs plus veg and milk and I was knocked out of ketosis, I added up my daily carbs and it was around 85/ 90!! It has taken me the full 3 days to get back into keto and given that I only seem to lose 2lb per week it's no surprise...

Thanks! X

Bananas where is it on the site I can't find it?

Wahoo I've just done my very first shred 1 down 29 to go!!!

Right here goes you can have either 4 packs + 150mls skimmed milk and 200g of certain veg or 3 packs + 150 ml skimmed milk, 200g of certain veg plus 100g of protein ie chicken, tuna, eggs You get a sheet explaining thus plus which veg is allowed in with your packs. Hope this helps x

Hi noodles keto stix are generally mid chart so not drastically dehydrated. I may try dropping the dr pepper as something isn't quite right. Measurements show a 4ins loss this week so all hope is not lost it just seems to extreme of a diet and too anti social for a lb per week loss. Never the...

Mmm I have maybe 2 cups of reduced salt boulion per day but possible have closer to 1 litre of dr pepper some days? I have been adding salt to my meal which maybe making me retain fluid if I do require more water than I'm taking in? Also what you said about exercise made me think about something...

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I only had 2 packs of zero noodles because I couldn't tolerate the texture of them so unfortunately it can't be that I'm not exercising yet so that's out too?? The only drinks I have are dr pepper zero, coffee bouillon or water. I drink 4litres religiously...

Arrh!

Hi everyone after a first week loss of 10lbs I have lost 2lbs and the it looks like tomorrow will be 1lbs. I am doing mainly 3 packs plus a meal and have not deviated from the plan, any ideas why my losses are so slow?? I've got stones to lose and It's really demotivating! :(

Can you post what you ate as meal each day and maybe we can spot something?

Almond milk is ok I'm not sure about soya x

Hi I got told almond milk is ok x

Yeah getting back on it will be the main thing!

Is this also carabel?

A sts should be on the cards at those calories, fingers crossed x

You'll have 2 stone off in no time!

Good luck x

I'm going to keep a little list of things I crave between now and then and incorporate them into my ww days wherever possible so it will feel like a real treat. I'll plan my menus for the ww days nearer the time. This way should mean that I feel like I'm not dieting and I won't be wasting my...

Thanks for reading, I would say ill try and keep my ww days low carb but I know I won't he he. I'm goi g to have to give my scales to someone to keep between dec and jan as I'm terrible for constantly weighing! X

How's that for a plan??? I've used ww points on the off days as its a plan I know we'll. The ww days are going to feel so indulgent!!

Right I'm going to spend the next half hour devising a plan and then hopefully I will feel more confident! The plan will include getting straight back on it on jan 1st I'm sure about that!!! I've spent the last 2 years being pregnant and having children next summer I'm going to enjoy myself in a...

Thanks for that, do u think if I have one meal off plan it will still take 3 days to get back into ketosis? I've got a meal one day then out drinking 4 days later obv need to be out of ketosis to drink so I'm wondering whether its worth going straight back on plan only to have to come off again...

Hiya I've just posted some worries about Xmas too and like you I can eat, I actually feel more hungry as I'm eating so I'm constantly thinking of what to eat next!!!!

Well I have a pre arranged Xmas lunch in the 11th and then a night out on the 15th. Then then ill prob be eating from Xmas eve evening until Boxing Day lunch time. So I think the meal on the 11th will knock me out of ketosis ( I picked my menu before I started the diet) so it maybe best just to...

What are everyone's plans eating wise, I'm almost wishing it wasn't happening as I would prefer just to keep going as I'm worried I won't be able to get back on track. Are you planning on just trying to be health, in or out of ketosis? I'm almost sabotaging myself with thoughts such well you...

Another great loss!! Good plan for the party I think it's easier not coming off plan than worrying about eating!

When did you place your order? It's normally next day delivery and you get loads of txts nd emails telling you which day and an hours time slot?

17lbs is absolutely amazing, well done!!!

It def needs standing in the water for a while before microwaving it.

I'm just waiting on my DVD being delivered then ill be joining you too!

The inches on will be lean muscle due to the exercising I would imagine.

I wud still be in keto with that amount of carbs, sometimes 4 packs milk and veg comes to 50 something grams of carbs!

Maybe keeping plodding on for a few more days as there was someone who was on here that lost 7lbs overnight!!

I am offering this as advice not as criticism, do u think the cheat meals you have had are putting you in and out of ketosis and therefore slowing your losses down? Like I said just trying to help as its a shame to stick to such a rigid plan and then not get the losses you want/expect!

Oooo noodles can we have beetroot in vinegar? Is there a limit to how much? I am so excited by this I lurrrve beetroot!!

I ordered it earlier from play too!

3lbs a week is a good loss, I've a sneaking suspicion that I might only lose 2lb per week which is depressing me somewhat. However as you say it is a relief to know that at 550-650 calories per day it is impossible not to lose!!! I'm gonna invest in 30 day shred and start that as I think I can...

Wow you are doing so well I've got a horrible feeling that I'm just gonna lose 2lbs per week :( it must be great getting on those scales and seeing those kinds of losses!! Do you have 3+ meal or 4 packs and do you have your milk allowance? Keep up the good work!!

Week 2 weigh in = 2 lbs off and 9 inches off my measurements!! Got to be honest was hoping for 3lbs but 12lbs off in 2 weeks so I really can't complain. Well onward and downward 44lbs to go!!!

I put cinnamon and nutmeg into the porridges, it's nice.

Ooo egg and chips! I'm gonna do that next weekend x

Zero noodles x 15 packets.

I have put 15 packets of zero noodles on eBay, thought I'd let you know as requested. I still can't eat them!!!

Blugh scales are only 1 lb down, official weigh in isn't till Monday but still v disappointed with 2nd week numbers, is this usual?

I would have the 3rd pack Hun, well done for getting straight back at it.

I'll give boiling them up a try tomorrow and if I still can't manage them ill pop then on eBay and let you all know as I know some places are charging a fortune!!!

Keep it up Hun it get so so so much easier on day 4 x

Really? I've not been boiling them for very long that might be worth a shot. Do they ever go like normal noodle consistency?

I'm in the north east

Aww I can't eat these they are too slimy and chewy!! I've got about 18 packets too, I'm debating selling them on eBay as I just can't stomach them!

That's a good loss ( after pizza too!) well done I'm finding that I'm really thirsty and I'm having to watch that I don't drink too much water? Although I'm not sure how much too much is???

It's good stuff boots asda ect do there own brand too and when I've used it previously ive still heard my babies during the night the only down side is they make you feel a little groggy the next morning. Hope it helps'

Would you not want to try some somminex? It's just a sedating anti histamine that you buy over the counter in pharmacys but its really good at helping you drop off ? Just a thought.

Hiya my next weigh in isn't until Monday so plenty of time for the numbers to go down, hope prezzo is delish for you x

That's the reason I don't have shakes and add zero noodles to the soup as I can't help but feel that they are drinks and not food!!! You are on your way well done, keep it up its sooooo much easier after the first 3 days when your in ketosis.

Yeah refillable coke zero which is great, I'm still in ketosis today so the marinade did not affect me and it was just chicken and lettuce essentially as I didn't eat the cherry tomatoes. I've got to say there were many other things I would have preferred to order but needs must. What was your...

I have had a couple of really low days just since starting last week ( not just emotional, very black days) I def think its diet related but carbs do have an effect on dopamine so chemically it's possible?

I've just been to nandos!!! Butterfly chicken, side salad and coke zero. Plus 2 eggs is today's intake which is very very naughty but next to no carbs so should stay in ketosis and around 670 cals so hardly the end of the world. Gonna be good tomorrow though but nice to know that it's possible...

I'm going to have to start moisturising to try and give my skin a chance on the shrinking front. Having 2 children in 2 years ( the last by c section) has already left my tummy in a sqishy state so goodness knows what it will be like when I've lost 4 stone!!! I've got a big basket full of...

That's great we'll done over a stone in 2 weeks wow!!

Zero noodles are basically fibre so you can eat them on the plan almighty with the packs or protein veg. They are a little odd but worth persevering with. X

He he about food porn, I keep thinking about what food I'll have on Xmas eve and Xmas day! I am going to try and not get I the scales until next Monday!! I'm not sure if I'll manage it but that's my aim. Have a good 100% day.

Very happy, took my measurements and weight and in week 1 and I've Lost 9 inches from my body and 10lbs. I'm very pleased with that, what kind of loss can I expect in week 2? I would like to have reasonable expectations!!! I hope everyone's day goes well x

Lemsip only contains paracetamol so you'd be better off just taking paracetamol as lens up will probably contain citric acid which will possibly knock you out of ketosis ( of your in it)?

Your doing great! That wrap could have spiralled into a binge but it didn't well done. Best of all your still in ketosis and back on plan! The mac nd cheese and porridge are my fav packs so far!! Stay strong!

Yes we'll compare how we have got on, on Monday I took my measurements too did you? Hopefully it will help on the slow weeks ? I want to lose 4 stone I'm hoping that i will be somewhere near by February/march.i have just got a delivery of 20 packs of zero noodles to be honest they are a little 2...

<3 my cat I'm glad someone else feels rough!! I've only managed one pack so far so I've def lost my appetite! We'll just have to hang in there and hope it improves! How much are you wanting to lose? My weekends havnt been to much about eating out as I have just had a little girl 12 weeks ago...

Thanks for the reply, feeling better this morning although havnt been able to stomach a shake this am. Getting a delivery this afternoon so may just wait and have some porridge from that? Going to pop into town for some good multi vits too to try and ward off the nasties!!! Hope your days going...

Well it's 3.21am and I'm still awake, lying with a headache and sore throat from ketosis I think. Please tell me this goes away? I have 2yr old and and 12 week old children to look after so I can't afford not to sleep!!!

Aww night shifts kill me when I'm on a diet as I just seem go crave sugar! Do you like coke/ dr pepper zero that might help you through the night?

A little tip with the pasta packs ( I don't if you have tried any yet?) leave to stand in the cold water for a good 10 mins before you start cooking it softens the pasta. The mac and cheese and the mushroom pasta are tasty. I have just ordered some more packs lots of porridge bars and some pasta...

It passed really quickly and hasn't returned so I'm happy. I've got broccoli with mushroom pasta for tea and then a bar and cup of warmed up milkshake as a treat for later. Do you mainly have shakes? I'm not satisfied with those at all?

That's great thanks for that, I am a big believer in shocking the metabolism every now and then so I think this would keep me on track for longer and keep my body guessing!!

That's a great loss! How strange that it took a while to show on the scales? Your dpi g great I think 7lbs in 10 days is great!!!

Hi 5sttogo when you have a cheat meal do you just have what you want ( no thought about carbs) and then just go straight back on it the next day? Do you have to struggle for 3 days again to get back I to ketosis? I'm thinking of having a weekly cheat meal after a month on plan but am wondering...

Well, ketosis stick said I was in ketosis this morning which was great although I had no odd taste in my mouth but I didn't feel that hungry. I have my breakfast poached egg and spinach and water then at 10 o'clock I'm hungry!!! What is that about??? Oh well I'll plod on, I'm hoping its just my...

Ruby shoes are you aiming for 2 stone off by Christmas then? I want to lose 4 stone too and the thought of getting near 2 stone off before Christmas is really motivating! I hope you have a good day at work and the hunger ease's off.

3lbs in 3 days is great! You should have a good loss on Monday

I hope I'm the same as if I don't have my meals promptly at 12 and 5 I would really know about it. Im not that keen on the shakes altjough they taste ok i cant help but see them as a drink not food. I'm going to bed shortly to ignore my hunger and hope that its disappeared by the morning.

Fingers crossed, I'm looking forward to a bit of energy!!

I've been tracking on mfp and I land between 50-60gs so ill just have to keep my fingers crossed that tomorrow I am in ketosis!!

Ketostix not ketosis

Thanks for replying, do you use ketosis or just go off how you feel? I think I would probably become a little obsessed if I used the sticks and start pushing my carbs up to see what I can get away with!!!!

Well I did cave a little but only to the tune of 60g tuna, should I drop anything later it just forget it and carry on as planned?

I'm freezing too but that is my last moan I'm gonna focus on the fact that the scales were 5lbs down this morning yippee!

Aww thank you for the encouragement I've had lunch at 11.30!! (tuna salad ) and filled up with some water and dr pepper zero. I'm expecting great things from ketosis ( I've never done a vlcd before) so I WILL power through I will I will I will x

Arrrgh help me!!!!!!!! :( ( any kind words would be appreciated) x

I found the sweet one much nicer I add cinnamon and its quite nice. You can have as many as you want as far as I know?

Aww no it's the start of day 3 and I'm starving, I keeping think about what I can have for breakfast and then remember I'm on a diet!!! :(

Thanks for that, for the last 2 days I've been in the 50's so I'm hoping that's good enough as I'm starting to get hungry!!!

Could anyone tell me when you count your carbs on mfp is it the total carbs that you count and is the aim between 50-60gs? Per day for keto? Thanks!

Mmm I've just had 'tea' zero noodles in veg soup with leeks and mushrooms, quite tasty I was pleasantly surprised with the noodles as I'm generally horrified by anything jellyish but I found them ok and very filling. Just need to find the noodles at a more reasonable price now!!

I have never enjoyed a small bowl of tuna cucumber and spring onions more. However role on dinner time!!!! I've got 2 packs left to have today.

Thanks everyone. 100% day 1 completed and my only complaint is that I feel very nauseous but this is no surprise cos anything makes me sick and very very thirsty. Going to attempt a shake this morning and have some tuna, spring onion & cucumber later as the thought of another meal pack isn't...

I've got to say that I'm gutted at how little veg 200g is as I'm a bit of a veg fiend but I'm sure I'll get used to it!!

Hi I'm starting today at 16 2 but my target is only 12 stone as I know at this weight I'm a nice size 14 I've been lower than that before and to be honest I just looked odd?? Mind you that was before I had my girls so goodness knows what shape ill be now he he Good luck.

Well thought I'd better introduce myself I'm Jane 33 and have found myself with 4 stone to lose after having 2 children 2 years apart. I've done a number of diets ( never a vlcd) and to be fair they have worked well when I have stuck to them but this time I want quicker results so I've started...
