NB's Journey

[NicolaB]

Hi everyone

I have started my slim and save journey today and hope it will be the last time I have to do so.

I have been on every diet known to man since about the age of 12 and have lost and regained countless lbs over and over again and to be quite honest i'm pretty sick of my life revolving round food - so I have taken the decision to take food out of the equation and start a fresh.

I have a busy life as a mammy to 2 year old twins and I work full time so not having to think about food for a while will be a relief!

My first day has gone well although I nearly gave up when I went to pick the kids up from my mams and I was starving - this is my worst time of day when my journey home is spent thinking of what I can stuff in my face but I resisted and came home and had a strawberry shake!

Kids are in bed now and waiting for hubby to get home from work - I just need to fit my final few glasses of water in and then I will have survived my first day!

Any words of inspiration will be gratefully received :bighug:

Good luck and welcome to s&s! I can honestly say that this diet is amazing, there are hard times don't get me wrong, but it is such a breath of fresh air not having to think about normal food! All the preparing, the cooking, the cleaning! And the weight just falls off! Nice consistent results too. You sound like you have your hands full with the kids and working full time.

The time does fly by! I am half way through week 6 almost, and it feels like it was yesterday when I started, I was hoping to lose a stone in the first 4 weeks and another stone in the next 4 weeks. I am in week 6 now and only 2.5lbs off losing two stone! If you commit to the diet, it rewards you in return! xx

Thanks for the welcome TaraTeal - have you used the meals aswell as the shakes? Just wondered if the meals slow the weight loss at all.

Welcome welcome- the more the merrier! I've also lost more than I thought/hoped/dreamt I would- I started the same day as Tara and am steadily approching 2 stone too! Can't believe I've lasted so long!

I have the meals, shakes, oatmeal, soups- everything! On 4 packs a day plus I have the veg allowance, and occasionally swap the 4th pack for a tin of tuna. And last week I lost 7lb, so pretty good! That's a week I had sometimes 2 or 3 meals plus a bar!

Good luck!

I am the same as moosh, I am on 4 packs a day too. I usually have oatmeal, lemon bar, a shake and a meal every day, sometimes two meals. x

Hi all

Well here we are again!

Starting yet again today hopefully for the last time!

How are you all getting on?

Feeling really down today as got on the scales and weighed the most I have ever done part from eWhen I was pregnant!

Must get my head in the game and get sorted.

Off to mother in laws later for a egg hunt with the kiddies but not really feeling up to socialising with my two gorgeous slim sister in laws today s not a good day........

Must sort myself out and put on a face.

NicolaB... just think this is the last time you'll feel like this! You can do and proved to yourself you could before you were poorly. Draw a line under the illness and get back on the wagon plenty of room here ...wiggles up to make space Keep strong and drink plenty of water today honey x x x

Head is in the game this time so looking forward to shrinking!

Hope you are all well.

Hurrah delivery has arrived.

Almost fell over myself to get to the door

Just had a veg soup - was very nervus to try the soup as i have had bad experiences of VLCD soups on Cambridge Diet - however this one was really nice, not like a packet soup at all.

I'm soooo happy as it makes it so much easier to stomach if the packs are nice.....yey!

Onwards and Downwards
