I'm a SAHM with very little money and twins to support. Can anyone recommend a VLCD which will give good, quick results (I have 7-8st to lose) and not cost the earth?

Failing that, does anyone want to buy my twins just kidding!!

You have 7 stone to lose. That is 98lb. If you were to lose an average of 2lb a week it would take you would lose 104lb in a year. How quick do you want your results to be? Is 12 months quick enough? I have no knowledge of VLCD, but if you want to lose weight steadily (i.e. 2lb a week over a year) then I can recommend a combination of healthy eating (I follow Slimming World, but if you know the principles - fill up on low calorie but filling fruit, veg, lean meat and avoid sugar and fat - then that is all you need). There is some helpful info on here about calorie counting and "my fitness pal" is free, easy to use and will keep a record of your calorie intake. Exercise is key and pushing twins around sounds like the perfect workout - and it's free!

If you want some fresh ideas and motivation then I recommend having a read of the Tough Love - Apply Within thread. Rod talks about his common sense approach to dieting, Smiley Man is on VLCD, Conlou and Faery Lights both calorie count and there are a few Slimming World followers. There is plenty of straight talking, no nonsense advice that you may find helpful and it's free!

Good luck

The cheapest and best VLCD is Slim and Save. You'll lose around a stone a month on that

I would also recommend Slim and Save. You order the packs on the internet and you can get an initial taster box of 25 different food packs for about £25. After that it's £1.07 per pack if you buy the men's 5 a day 4 week box. Ypu have 4 packs a day or 3 packs plus protein (such as 2 eggs).
