I have done one before and was successful until a bereavement threw me off track. Yesterday, a local short dates food warehouse had a mega Lighter Life deal -120 shakes for £5.50!!!!
So I am giving it another go, I have Exante, Slim 'n' Save, New You Plan shakes left over still and some Slender Plan bars (Superdrug seemed to have stopped these now) .
I don't think I can face doing the meals again though so will be supplementing with my own homemade soups instead.

Anyone else just starting , either for the 1st time or again?

I really like the slimfast chocolate caramel bars and the strawberry chocolate bars. I try to get them from superdrug as they're usually on offer. The cheesy crackers are quite nice too.

Yes, I like the cheesy crackers too, I got some of them in the reduced warehouse too, they worked out at about 40p a packet.
Has your Superdrug got any Slenderplan stuff- mine has stopped selling it.

Hope everyone had a good day! I woke up feeling hungry yesterday, day 2, but today I feel fine. Just heading out for a walk.

Hope you enjoyed the walk. We did a practice for Sports Day today- just walking up the school field made me breathe heavily! Fortunately, I just counted points!

Disappointed today- did a sneaky weigh and have only lost 2lbs. I know it's downward which is what matters but was hoping for more.
Maybe time to be completely honest with myself and write everything down.
On the plus side I have lost 8lbs since coming back from my holiday at Easter, on the negative side- I am away for half term! At this rate, I will weigh the same again after that holiday.
