New beginnings.......

My sample starter pack arrived and I started Slim and Save yesterday and was 100% Whoop Whoop. I had three shakes and one bar. The shakes are a bit chemically for my taste but manageable. I have drunk loads and am thinking I might take shares out in Andrex!

Day 2 and still 100% and still drinking. I think one of the secrets of losing weight with this diet is all the running up and down the stairs to the loo! LOL Today I've had 4 shakes. I will try a soup tomorrow. I haven't tried any of the packet meals but not really liking the sound of them :( I don't fancy eating something with a baby food consistency.

Feeling extremely motivated and have not missed food as much as I thought I would. I know that I won't be in ketosis yet, but I'm not really feeling hungry, I guess this is due to the initial excitement of commiting to this diet. I have not experienced any other side affects so far. All in all a really positive start.

I've spent lots of time looking at the forum posts and they are really motivational. So thank you everyone who takes the time to post. Also thank you to those who have taken the time to answer my questions.

So onwards and inwards......
 
Good luck! Have a lovely journey.x
 
Good luck, you sound like you're gonna do really well! The weight will be melting off you in no time, just gotta give the diet time to do its thing!

Took me a while to get the Andrex joke, got there in the end though! :D lol
 
Day 3 and still 100%. Yay:) Genuinely not feeling hungry. I even resisted my son's birthday cake!!!!

I tried the soups today (vegetable and chicken), they were palatable but not overly strong in taste. I might try to boost the flavour next time as has been suggested by others with some herbs or seasoning. It was quite nice to have something warming and savoury given the weather.

Also made my own frappuccino - Vanilla shake, coffee and ice, mixed with a stick blender. It tasted really lovely and I tried to image I was part of cafe society as I sipped it and read my magazine;)

Bring on day 4.....
 
Well done for starting-you'll find your own favourites and ways to Enhance flavours as you go along. Just want to let you know that the meals are not baby food consistency at all tho-te mac n cheese and mushroom pasta have actual pasta in, an the spag Bol and chilli are really nice. Be worth a try-especially with some extra veg :) x

Thanks Welshtigger, I've been leaving the meals up to now but will give them a try with your encouragement:)
 
Day 4. Mid morning in the office and the biscuits started doing the rounds. I would have usually dived in with the rest of them without hesitation. This presented an additional challenge as I haven't told anyone about the diet yet. Fortunately I had a S&S lemon bar in my bag, so I had that. It was quite tasty along side my coffee and I didn't feel like I was missing out!

Varied day of packs today. For lunch had the tomato soup and strangely my lips tingled at first!? For dinner I tried one of the meals for the first time. Had the Spag Bol which was a better texture that I had anticipated. Finally had a vanilla shake that I made into a coffee frappuccino - Yummy!

Boosted my fluid intake with peppermint tea and plenty of water.

So 100% again today. :)

Sounds like a good day x
 
Hi, welcome to S&S! How are you finding it so far? I don't find the shakes too chemically tasting but they definitely grew on me as I got more used to them so hopefully they'll grow on you too :) Good luck!
 
Day 7 is drawing to a close and I've reached the end of my S&S sample pack. So my end of week conclusions are that I really disliked the meals, but found the shakes, soups and bars okay. I've not been feeling hungry as such but the weekend has felt more of a challenge. I think this is largely due to the family being at home with meals and treats abound. I'm still drinking plenty.

I've not yet weighed myself this week but am confident that I have lost weight as I have stuck to the plan 100%. My top tummy feels much less bloated. I'll be weighing myself every Monday.

I've ordered another batch of packs so bring on week 2.
 
Hey! Well done on you first week you've done brilliantly! Good luck for WI tomorrow xxx

First of my weekly weigh ins this morning and I am delighted that I have lost 7 lbs!

I know that alot of this will be water etc., but is is such a good feeling to see the numbers on the scales going down. I now need to remember this feeling and use it to spur me on in to week 2. Bring it on.....
 
Woohoo well done thats brill xxx

Fantastic, well done!!
 
Well each day is a challenge and today is no exception..... pancake day!!! My OH has just made some pancakes for the kids and the smell is driving me mad! I would have previously devoured loads of them:rolleyes:, but not today. I have busied myself looking through some of the minimins sucess stories. So thank you to everyone who takes the time to post.

I don't think I've mentioned before how supportive my OH has been. Since starting the plan he has taken over all the shopping and cooking of food for the children and himself. My weight (whatever size I've been) has never been an issue to him and all he wants is for me to feel happy, bless him.:love: It's been such a relief to opt out of thinking and preparing food and I'm sure this is helping my resolve to stick to the 100% plan. I'd be really interested to hear how other people's family have reacted to them being on this diet?

I have been feeling a bit bloated today and I am definately drinking enough as my trips to the loo can demonstrate. How's everyone else doing?
 
Well done on resisting :)

My oh is very much like yours, don't think I'd be able to do this diet if I had to cook!!

Well done on today, roll on tomorrow :) xxx

You're very lucky with your OH. I've recently moved. Wi my friend who is on slim and save and has list 4 stones on it so I'm following his way of eating on plan and its working. I'd struggle to cook food i cant have and am very glad I don't have to. However, strangely, I did love watching cooking channels when I did a vlcd last year! Bizarre! All the best to you xx
 
Thanks for the words of encouragement.

I'm really feeling the cold today, my hands are freezing! I know it's snowing outside but the heating it full on. Not feeling hungry, but have found myself thinking about food and eating it alot today (and I don't mean salad and chicken). Will continue to try and resist. Hope everyone else is managing to stay strong?
