SUPPORT?BUDDY UP?CHAT FOR VLCD

[zeis10]

Hi there I am starting Cambridge next week and have 3 1/4 stone to lose. Be good to chat, share stories and get support and inspiration from each other! Anyone else in the same boat? :)

I am on day 3

Can't feel the loss but I know I'm lighter as I'm a bad bunny and I'm weighing myself daily

Great Rufus! I had a massive headache today but otherwise going ok . My weigh in is Thursday morning so will report back.

Glad to hear it leave

I'm not hungry, just would like some nice food...like chocolate and a lager (alright it's not actually food )

DH is taking the children out for a McDonald's so I don't have to watch them eat it

Is anyone here on four Cambridge products?

I am fine and not hungry at all but by later at night feel absolutely sick at the thought of drinking another shake. I know I need to stick to plan and I will but I can't wait till I'm down to 3 products- I'd rather be hungry than feel like this.

Hi Rufus are you allowed to do 3 packs a day on CD? Is there any reason you have to do 4? If not maybe you could drop down straight away? On Exante you go straight on to 3 packs each about 200 cals or 4 packs of 150 cals.

Oops that was to red

I had an exante shepherds pie for tea tonight...that won't be happening again

I'm afraid to try anything else, have three soups, three bars and two meals I haven't tried yet

It's like a really shitty lucky dip

(Indian curry and pasta carbonara were ok)

Lol Rufus. I did hear someone say you get used to them, maybe not the ones you hate, but the meh ones.

Will update you tomorrow

I'm sure you're fascinated

Well I am interested to know if you guys on day 3 feel better on day 4 as a lot of people say they do.

I'm on day 3 of slim and save, and I've dropped 5cm off my waist! I know it's only bloating at this stage but I feel rubbish today and it's been enough to make me keep going when I really don't want to.

Apart from a low level headache (not all the time) and tiredness I felt fine on days 1-3

It's day 4 now and I'm waiting for this burst of energy...last time I think that happened was when I was pregnant with ds1...17 years ago

I am losing quite a bit of weight, I am only doing a week the last day being Wednesday and it will be interesting to see how quickly I gain it back over the next 3 weeks of holiday (give or take)

Because my BMI is so high I had to start on stage 2, which is four products. I stupidly made my selection mostly shakes though and they are so sickly and sweet I can hardly face them.

When I order the next lot I'll know better but my consultant lives in England and I'm in Scotland so she only travels up once a month for weigh ins or i'd be able to go and swap some things over.

Oh how annoying. I just had a chocolate exante shake, they are not too sweet, I quite like that as I don't like things too sweet either but dd said it was disgusting!

Started with Exante this morning (sausage mix).

Weighed myself before so will be interesting to see how the weightloss compares to Boossh. And how I feel with 3 packets rather than 4.

I am doing 3 packs, I am trying having a late breakfast about 9.30, very early dinner (or late lunch) at 3.30 when my Dh likes to have his meal due to work hours, then my last pack in the evening about 7 or 8. This seems to work ok so far.

red sorry you're not enjoying them.

I tend to find them a bit too intense adding the amount of water they suggest so I add at least 400ml sometimes more depending on the flavour.

Thanks Carden I text my consultant this morning. When she comes to Scotland she is based at her mum's house so she has arranged for some soup to be left there and I can pick it up and leave my unwanted shakes as a swap!

I'll still have two shakes a day so will try them with extra water and hopefully that'll help! Thanks for the tip.

Not feeling too fed up and they say the firsy three days are the worst!

My fourth day is much better!!! I can feel so much better and a bit lighter as well.

I put my shakes in fridge for few mins and cooling them down makes them nicer. I really like the cockate and mint one.

Rufus- hope everything is going well for you too!!!

I keep a large jug filled with cold water in the fridge for making the shakes with. They are definitely nicer when cold.

My consultant said to try making the chocolatey ones up with hot water like hot chocolate but I haven't tried that yet.

They do say that making something very cold reduces the sweetness, maybe you could add some ice too. Although in this weather maybe hot would be better.

Red button - the idea of making a hot chocolate out of it is great. I will try it tomorrow ...

So day 1 of Exante after 3 weeks of Boossh and I'm bloody hungry!

Don't understand why as I've stayed in ketosis.

Am hoping it's a sign that I'm losing weight (need positive thoughts as otherwise I might eat my arm).

Oh hope it is a good sign carden. How did you like the products? I like the idea of sausage mix but they seem to need something with them.

leave

It's going well thank you

Had a lemon and yogurt bar which was very nice, tried the tomato soup...it was better than the mushroom but that's all it had going for it . Also had the chilli...which was ok but not great. Favs are still the curry and the carbonara

Weird having a Sunday morning with out any coffee..probably not as weird as having a saturdaynight with no alcohol

Anyone know if the weight loss slows down after a few days, I'm doing really well and I'm curious to see if I maintain the same losses. I'm only doing this for a week and will probably do it again in September, it's coming off so rapidly it must just jump back on when I finish...all those little pounds hiding round the corner waiting to get me
