Slim for summer

[emma11020]

On Thursday I started my Slim and Save Journey. I'm no stranger to the vlcd having done LL before and losing 7st (which I never kept off). My starting weight was 20st 2 and at 5ft 9 that puts me in the morbidly obese range. I have a lot of weight to lose and would like to get down to the low 12s or high 11's. I've got a long way to go and just hope I manage again. I have to say I do like S&S food packs much better than the LL ones so not having to force them down is certainly helping

Good luck Emma, and yes the tastiness and variety in the S&S range certainly keeps things interesting!

I'm really looking forward to my first weigh in tomorrow. I've been really good and not peeked yet. I'm usually on and off the scales 2-3 times a day but this time I'm trying to just do it once a week. I ordered myself some ketostix from amazon so they should be here in a couple of days . I'm positive I'm in ketosis but doesn't hurt to keep a check x

Thanks Shivie, good luck with your journey too

Good idea to just keep to the weekly weigh-ins, the surprise element when you see a bigger loss
than expected is always worth the wait! x
I'm on Day 4 today so the dreaded first three days are over and done with so it's plain sailing from here (hopefully!)

Looking forward to hearing your first weigh-in result hun! Best of luck, am sure you'll be delighted with progress! x

Hi Hun

I dipped in and out last year as had some personal stuff going on (break up and house move) but managed to loose a couple of stone.

I restarted (at 18st 6) on 1st jan and lost 11lbs so far

That's good that even though you were dipping in and out your still lighter. I stopped and started a couple of times last year but my heart wasn't really in it and what I lost I put back in again. Well done on the 11lbs that's great x

Thanks Hun I am single nearly 30, starting to feel flirty lol and I just have a feeling that this is my year, Im so much more motivated than I was last year and that's half the battle! X

Well done on coming back as I know myself it's not easy.

I'm still getting in okay and I received my ketostix in the post today and I'm definitely in ketosis so that's good . If I know I'm in ketosis and burning away my fat then it makes me feel less like cheating lol x
