Today I started my journey with slim and save.
I am 19 stone looking to get down to 14.
I received my starter pack and have a good variety of meals to choose from.
Today I had porridge for breakfast, Thai soup for lunch, mac cheese for tea( was pleasantly surprised with how yummy it was) and going to have a cookie and cream shake for supper.
I think I might be making meals up wrong mac cheese and porridge was really watery.. Followed instructions to a T. Any help with food prep would be grateful. Must admit I'm not a cooking guru lol
Excited about this journey. Read a lot of threads on this and all very helpful.

Hi Kd here to follow, Love your title made me laugh out loud. good luck on your journey xx
Making up the meals, I had the same probs at first, I tried less water but some of the ingredients were still hard when you went to eat them.
Now I let them soak for a few minutes, then I cook them slowly on the hob while my vegetables are cooking. hope this helps.

A wee bit trial and error I think with regards to making up shakes & meals. Also personal preference. I prefer more water in my shakes (350mls) & I soak my porridge or oatmeal for 5 mins before microwaving. Only had mac cheese once & it was hard so a bit experimenting with that I think.

The title is a bit if fun. Just explains me to a T lol.
Brilliant. Thanks you both for the tips. Will let meals soak for a couple of mins before microwaving them.
Yesterday was good. Woke up a little hungry. Haven't got any dreaded headaches that I've read some people have had. Drinking plenty so maybe that's helping.
Today's menu is....
B red fruit shake
L veg soup
D spag bol
S caramel shake

so far so good!!

It's definitely hard when you have to cook or there is cooking going on for others. in the house I have a 4 year old and hubby. I'm really fortunate that hubby is really supportive so he cooks for him and the little one.
Day one is nearly over for you. Keep strong. I'm here on mobile now so if you need support just message me.
Try drinking loads of even have some coke zero if u have it. Do you have any meals left today x x

 

[lisalollipop13909]

all my meals done now im in bed. hungry and fed up. but i will not give up this time x

Just think of tomorrow as a new day
I bought a calender and cross out each day as I complete it it's motivation.

Once you see your first weight loss that will motivate you.

It's difficult. I've struggled on day 1. I promise it gets better as you go on xx

 

[kdl85]

Day 3 done and dusted.
B banana shake
L mushroom soup ( I'm really loving all the soups so far)
D chilli
S dark choc truf ( yum yum)
Weighed myself today lost 6 pound in 3 days. Bit of a motivator. :thumbup:
I will admit now. I'm not drinking water I can't stand it so drinking coke zero instead. Seems to be working with coke zero.
Tut tut I know. Just can stomach water so would rather drink coke than nothing.
Happy today. Ordered 28 days supply today raring to go.
Hope everyone has had a good Sunday xxx
