Hello, can I jump in and join the chat please???

I've just started Shake that Weight today. I was 17st 10lb at my heaviest and have managed to get down to 15st 9lb. I'm just looking for something a little quicker as I have a hospital procedure early March that I need to lose a couple of stone for.

I've done Cambridge diet before for my wedding and lost 3 stone but went back to eating junk food (and far too much) as soon as we arrived on the honeymoon and gained most of it back!!

So it's only day one. About 1.5 litre of water and one shake down so far. Feeling hungry but keeping busy to take my mind off it lol. Hope everyone else is doing well and had a good Christmas

 

[jeanette78]

Welcome blueboxgeek, what good timing, as shoebe has gone on holiday for 11 days
I hav been on a vlcd since 20 may, and hav lost 5 stone altogether, the first st on shake that weight, before changing to exante, because of the different meal choices. I hav porridge, shakes, soups as well as meals, shepherds pie, spaghetti bolognaise etc. Really liked STW shakes as they tasted better, but liked the meal choices better on exante, especially porridge
Hope u r doing well? I am restarting new years day, as I needed a break, so hav been off plan for 2 weeks

Wow, 5 stone since May.... that is amazing!! Well done you

I was going to just do shakes and have 4 shakes a day which is the recommended if doing total food replacement but was feeling so hungry. I ended up with 3 shakes and two hard boiled eggs.

I feel quite satisfied on that so will see how it goes but maybe try that each day. Looking at the numbers it's 600 calories and under 50g of carbs, just hope that would get me in to ketosis so I don't feel too hungry.

How have you found it eating proper meals again over Xmas?

 

[jeanette78]

I have been really gutsy feeling like a turkey, really stuffed
Be glad to go back on exante. As dont really like chocolate that much, but because its in the house hav been eating it!!!!! also been drinking more wine due to going out more for meals etc, normally am a social drinker and dont drink at home, but xmas has wrecked my promises
But I know if I stick to it (and I can) I can lose upwards to 10 lb in the first week, so not to worried, as was due for a break.

It's so easy to go wild at Christmas! I wasn't really dieting before Xmas so didn't have any water gain like you can coming off these shakes, but I only put 2lb on over Xmas eve - Boxing Day which I was pretty pleased with.

Day 2 just starting. Feel a bit headachey, so just having a glass of water and will follow that with some green tea.

 

[jeanette78]

You can also have bullion, which is a very low calorie stock powder, u have it hot like a cup a soup. also u can also have ribena plus sugar free squash, which if u have a blackcurrant one, its nice hot.

Well done on only putting on 2lb, headache will go within a day or two, just drink plenty of water, which is something i still find hard to do, i just manage 2ltr to 2.5 ltr's

 

[Blueboxgeek]

Thanks Jeanette, I will try some Boullion. Shopping tomorrow so will pick some up.

Day 2 nearly over. Ended up going shopping this afternoon with my mum to get out of the house and away from temptation and ended up spending £200 in Dunelm Mills on things for our new house lol. But it worked and day 2 has been 100%. Will head to bed with my book soon for an early night.

 

[jeanette78]

Glad, ur doing so well
I find that when out for the day, and calling in for lunch, I would when on shake that weight hav a slimfast bar. Wrong I know, but better than food. Or u could buy some exante bars, as they're handy in ur bag for emergencies

That's a good idea thanks! I've got a couple of Atkins bars in the cupboard, do you think they would work ok? Thinking I could keep them in the car or my bag for if I ever get caught out.

 

[jeanette78]

I hav had an atkins bar when i've forgotten my exante bar, so should be ok.
