Having done cambridge 5 years ago and losing 7 stone, I’m nearly back to where I was at the start. Iv had a baby and stuffed my self silly since, tried weight watchers and slimming world and normal calorie counting.

I’m getting desperate. We are going on holiday in 4 months and atm it’s ruined already. I’m too heavy to do anything and I will be unhappy and uncomfortable which will ruin it for everyone.

I’m thinking of doing exante. I know I can stick to it (I think!) but was wondering if there are any other VLCDs around atm?

I've tried Slimfast in the past just because it's easy to get fr supermarket and tastes nice. But it didn't really keep me full. Soon realised that weetabux is the same number of calories but does keep me full.

I lost 70lbs on LighterLife last year. They have a broad range of shakes, soups and meal replacements which helped. Good luck!

I've been doing a mix of exante, Cambridge and slim and save. They are all very similar imo. I'm 4 stone down since the 18th Jan. you could easily be 4-5 stone lighter before your holiday. Good luck!

Wow that’s impressive - how are you all getting on?

I feel like I need a blast for a month - do any of these do face to face classes?

Also if you are aiming for 6-800 cals/day could you achieve it with normal foods? Eggs / soups etc?

The New you plan, qe have a thread on here. I have lost 5 stones in 4 months and a week

@ESGdance look up the fast 800 diet (Michael Mosley I think). I was loosing approx a stone a month on it. 800cal a day of real food (lots of veg, high protein, low carb type meals), decent size meals and I was rarely hungry. Much more satisfy than a shake (for me personally).

Salads?
Just calorie count?
And I say that as someone who successfully lost weight with slimfast
