Newbie

[Loopeylou]

Well after big chat with hubbie and lots of reading about Slim and Save we have taken the plunge and placed our order.
Should be delivered on Tuesday so ready to start on Wednesday.
We've never done a tfr diet but to be honest I'm really looking forward to it.
Currently on SW and having small losses but i'm so tired of food to be honest - sounds strange I know but seems like a lifetime of yoyo dieting / binge eating / comfort eating etc has taken its toll.

Hubbie also has had a health scare which which has prompted him to realise he really needs to lose 3-4 stone too.
I talked with him about swapping over onto Slim and Save and hoping he would understand my reasons for doing it and I was gob smacked when he aksed to also do it with me.
It'll be so much easier for us both to follow, we have a 15 year old son but have worked out that the food we have in freezer / cupboards will feed him for months ( with exception of fresh fruit and veg ) so we will save a heap on shopping bills.
In Asda yesterday I spent £96 on a small trolley with very little to show for it really!

So anyway enough waffling, just want to say a big hi to you all and looking forward to seeing the results that you all are having

Had a really busy day, uploaded 46 items on eBay as raising extra money for holiday in June. Can finally relax and read some more threads x

Good luck. Is this the same as slim fast what you are going to do?

 

[norwegian girl]

Good luck, it really is the best diet once you get into it and time just flies by. Hope you both get into it as soon as your delivery is made x

No - slim and save is a VLCD which works on having low carbs abd calories.

 

[Denise272]

VLCD??? Does this mean Very Low Calorie Diet? and thank you for responding to me

Hi i wanted to wish you & your hubby luck. Remember to drink lots of water. The first lot of days (for me 4days but everyone is different) is the hardest but stick with it because it does get so much easier & the rewards are great : )

Thank you, I think the advice and help given on here is fantastic.
We know what we can expect in the first week so at least we can persevere with the knowledge it will get easier.
I'm determined to succeed and do have alot of willpower to keep going when I know what the rewards are
As for my hubbie he very rarely feels hungry, he had cancer 12 years ago and the radiotherapy damaged his stomach causing him to feel full very quickly. He's never really dieted before though so do think he will find the first week far harder though but at least we have each other
