Brand new shiny VLCD thread...LighterLife, Cambridge etc

[Cheesyslice]

New thread as the old one is now bursting at the seams.

Marking place

For anyone who wasn't on the previous thread, everyone is very welcome here. Plenty of support and arse-kicking available at request

Took DS to playgroup today and respite what looked like the most moist, fruity bastard of a fruit cake. Humph.

Hiya!

After moaning yesterday I'd only lost a pound this week I weighed again and lost three. Might be because I got my period yesterday and water retention etc? Also my period was a week early?!

Yay hip! Periods are bastards aren't they. Totally screw around with weight.

Can I join? Been doing sole source for 3 weeks and finding it hard to stay on track when I'm at home with 19mo dd!

Hello all

Having a really hungry day today - don't know what's up! I can't stop thinking about food!

hello again - I can't stop thinking about cheese

There is always cheese in our house and DH and DC eat it

Welcome blondie

pram I bloody hate hungry days

I just desperate to get to my goal so I can start maintenance.

Evening all. Yay new thread!

Survived last night out - had my steak, no booze, but caved and had a few bits of cheese!!

Back on track today. Got to start adding in 200 extra calories a day tomorrow as Exante want you to have a week off their 'Total Solution' every month. Anyone got any ideas?

Hi there. Marking my place. Day 4 for me and think hunger is easing a bit. Feel cold and a bit strange so think I am in ketosis. I have switched from s&s simplicity to a lifestyle plan where I have a small meal in the evening so I can sit and eat with the kids. I imagine the weekend will be a bit harder but feeling quite motivated at the moment.

Hello...can I join you - I keep trying to start VLCD - I have the packs from Shake the Weight, each day I have great resolve, last till about 4pm then fall into the biscuit tin - it really is pathetic, and I want to lose c3 stone.

life it really is hard at the end of the day. I totally sympathise.

Hi everyone,

may I join you. coming to end of week 2. lost 6lbs first week.
So far this week its just about 3lb.

Hi tigger - that's fantastic, most inspiring. How much do you want to lose? And you too OP?

Oooooh at goal? Well done cheesy

I have that desperate feeling

19 days in 9lb lost, to be honest I'm chuffed with this and if can keep averaging 3lb a week I will be at goalish in 8 weeks, want to lose another 9lb if I can before my bday which will leave me 18lbs to goal, currently have 26lbs to go. Keep going everyone!

Afternoon all!

Marking my place too. I did Cambridge for a few weeks last year pre-wedding and have managed to put A STONE on since the wedding.

I've just ordered my S&S to be delivered on Tuesday and starting then. I found Cambridge relatively easy for the first week but then really struggled. I only want to lose the stone I've put on and then look to do maintenance.

So yes, I might be on here A LOT come Tuesday!!!

Girls I've had my first good day in ages. Four food packs and a big plate of veg. Lots of tea too, also been for a run. Happy days. Feeling motivated.

chesty Not quite there yet, got another stone and maybe a bit more to shift.

life I started off at 12st 8, now 10st 8. I'm five foot six and want to get to 9st 7lbs.

tigger and mrsbradfield- that's fabulous...great weight loss

snout everyone's welcome. What kind of packs have you ordered?

My target for 12 weeks is 10kg.
My personal goal is to get to 180lb so about 16lbs to go. After that not sure I'm 5ft 4 well endowed (always lose it from there last) tend to lose lot from face and everyone starts thinking I'm ill

Which plan are you all on?

I am on Cambridge ish!. I am doing it for 12 weeks as part of research project at work. It is to eventually help people in regard to bowel cancer to which I lost my mum two years ago.
four sachets a day plus 750mls milk min 4 pints water.
Allowed tea/coffee/diet drinks prefer no caffeine and def no sugar. Its how I found this site as I wanted to learn more about it. I discovered the issues re citric acid in diet drinks...

everyone else?

I'm LL 4 food packs or bars only. Black tea or coffee or water.

14 Lbs down

I'm on LL Lite which is normally 3 packs plus a meal (protein + veg). However four packs per day at the moment and no meal (LL total) to make up for the fact I pigged out when I was abroad earlier in the week.

I was doing slim and save, swapping to exante for a change.

Cambridge SS+ here.

Weighed this morning after yesterday's hungry day and I'd lost another 3 1/4 lb somehow? ! It's officially two weeks since I started (first weigh in was 5 days in so doesn't quite tally up).

So I've lost 12lb in two weeks and completely over the moon only 2 stone left to get to pre pregnancy weight. Sounds sooo much better than 3 lol
