Anyone tried or is doing shake that weight vlcd?

[jeanette78]

Hi shoebe, just watch it with rich foods, as i found that when i was having gallbladder problems, it was usually this that triggered it off google the symptoms to c if it is that?

I can't wait to finish this on the end of the month, i don't mind the porridge, quite like it actually and the soup, BUT, i only have left pasta carbonara and i wasn't that fussy on that in the start (think that why i have loads left lol )

 

[shoebedoo]

Ahh frig... Typical left with d ones u Dont like.. Ul have 2 smoother it with spices if u can tolerate dem... I can just about manage a mild curry... If its too spicy my mouth goes on fire and I consume jugs of water ha ha
I remember when I did Exante and I ordered a mixed box of shakes I was left with d strawberry ones!!! I loved d porridge... 'twas scrummy
Any plans on what Ul do next?
On computer all evenin helpin gather info and pics on Thailand 4 my son as he's doin a project on it. Hard 2 believe how we managed ourselves using encyclopaedias as we didnt have computers!! Now everyone's got a laptop or an iPad .. SO techno!! Think Id b lost wout my iPhone ... SO handy... Info at our fingertips!
I must google what foods I should avoid... as yes symptoms pointed at gallstones... Plus my Mam had both gallbladder and gall stones removed!
Tomoro Wed.. Yeah... Middle of d wk!!! amnt I terrible wishin d wk away...

Hi shoebe, yes I luv the porridge as well, and the golden veg soup is lovely as well. Its not that I hate the pasta, but every day?
I am going to hav 2 exante meals and protein and veg/salad the first week, then one meal and salad and meat for lunch with 2 crispbread and protein and veg for tea the second. On the third will hav no exante meals and instead hav 0% fat greek yogurt for breakfast. And will then start adding carbs as will then be xmas and I wont be missing out on roasties love roasties. Mmmm.
After xmas will prob go back on it for 2 weeks to lose xmas weight then will do a form of atkins but not having a lot of fat and slightly more carbs ie crispbread and odd slice of bread, just generally watching what I eat, as dont eat pasta, rice and potatoes generally anyhow

Sounds like a gud plan... Think Ur right re low carb as opposed 2 Atkins as I don't buy into all d 'fat' one is encouraged 2 eat on it! I found a bk on my shelf called low carb longterm lifestyle .. Gud tips in it.
Rotten day weatherwise here .. Raining all day!
Was very good food wise but made gluten and wheat free buns this pm and had planned on lickin d bowl ... Then I decided to have one so I did but have ended out eatin too many ... Bugger!! Annoyed with myself as had:-
2 rashers and 3 mushrooms for bfast
Lettuce, coleslaw, beef and goats cheese for lunch
Broccoli, asparagus and salmon for dinner
Realise now I was thirsty ...as drank very little ... Bugger again!!
Printing off stuff 4 SCH ... Will take another hr... No rest 4 d wicked :-(
How was Ur day? Apologies 4got 2 ask u do u like Ur new haircut? How was d dentist?

 

[jeanette78]

Hi shoebe, hygenist went ok, hair nice, well it was before I went to town 2day, in the rain and wind awfull day here as well
Did u enjoy the buns? My mam always says that if u didnt enjoy them, they werent fattening so if they were nice lie ur menu sounds nice, just be extra good till sat, it mite give u an extra whoosh.
I find it hard re water this weather as well

[jeanette78]

Yes much to cold for ice cream. Can u eat yogurt or fruit? If so why dont u freeze a yogurt? Or I hav heard that frozen grapes r nice? On slimming world I used to make a mousse with sf jelly and a yog, spose u could use cream instead?

[jeanette78]

Hi shoebe, yes charity shops are great when ur losing as i want new clothes, and then a few weeks later,(especially trousers lol) they're too big

[shoebedoo]

Hey Hope all well with u... Had a gr8 day food wise yday .... 1/2 shake bfast, chicken and mushrooms 4 dinner, sugar free jelly .... Then @8pm my OH told me that he'd been 2 d doc 3 Wks ago as he has haemorrhoids that r really bad .... I was quietly SO pissed off that he Didnt tell me.... I Cud've given him more fibrous vegetables 4 dinner, not bought biscuits, I Cud've advised him to take flaxseed or put linseed in his porridge... Well I ended up eatin a tub of ice cream (yes got it in d shop) and then scoffed 6/8 of his biscuits!! Annoyed I gave in to emotional eating instead of expressing my anger.... Why do men not want to talk about thgs like that???
Today we're supposed 2 go 2 town in d afternoon together and leave d kids with my inlaws... OH arranged it all ... Wants us to go 2 cinema etc I was SO Lookin 4 ward 2 it...

Need 2 do a VLC day today ..
Hope u had a better day!!! NJOY d wkend

Hi shoebe, glad that yesterday was a good day.... then last night so annoying for you, especially when there is no need to keep it from u, as you say u could have been helping him, Men hope u went and had a good day today? put it behind u, today another day, easier said than done, i know. marvelous weight loss, good job u weighed yesterday tho....

I had a good day till the evening as well, had planned to have some green beans and a thick slice of bacon for tea, with half a MIM, (which i had), my mother came down with a bottle of wine, and ................. i drank half a bottle not content with that, i had bought her a bar of choc, which she had forgot to have off me, and we shared half a bar, then i ate the remainder by myself AND had two pieces of toast before bed, as i didn't go to bed till later than usual Grrrrrr :sigh: today i have only had one shake that weight shake (as they are less calories) so far, will try to only have another shake later to counteract yesterday

 

[shoebedoo]
