Thanks for your comments, so sorry to hear you lost your job. Hope you find something soon! I definitely don't blame him, I'm in charge of my willpower after all! We usually live apart because of work, and see each other at weekends. We decided to live together while this pandemic was on otherwise we wouldn't see each…

Thank you, I am a tiny person and maintaining weight while enjoying life is very hard! So easy to put the weight on just with a few nice wines, treats etc which is why I'm where I am! I don't think many taller people get that.

Thanks, it's for a couple of weeks on the high protein Vitality shakes, which actually means I'll get more than usual. They do seem to be more nutritonally balanced than the 'old' shakes.

Thank you @corinasue1143, that's exactly what I want to use it for, a 'reset'. Then go back on bloody 1200 cals 'normal' eating, but that's such hard work and boring when everything is so dull right now. It's actually the same sort of calorie count, just less food prep 🤷♀️ I certainly didn't expect the response I've had.…

Because I know what works for me and I need to get into the 'eating less' mindset. Once I'm there, I can resist the nice stuff. I have done before, I managed most of last year until winter and some personal issues cropped up. I normally meal prep and plan, batch cook low calorie casseroles, curries and chilli, earn extra…

Hi, I'm starting Slimfast next week, had some mixed responses to my post, mainly negative. How are you getting on with your Challenge @Mommabrox6 ?

Hi @Emheia, thanks for your response, I used to take a Slimfast into work for brekkie, nice and easy and I like them. My aim is to kickstart my weightloss and 'get fitter' motivation. My usual diet has gone to pot over the last year with working from home and having my partner move in. I've changed my diet to make cooking…

Hiya, thanks for your helpful comments and experiences. I'm doing the two Vitality shakes a day, plus a couple of 100cal snacks - fruit/veg or slimfast bars, then a balanced meal around 600cals. It should come in at 1200 cals per day which is my default amount to try and lose weight. I'm going to do two weeks to start…

Heh, yeah, that's something else I should have mentioned, but you said you already bought enough for a couple of weeks...hopefully you had a way to buy a couple of each shake flavor (they used to sell some individually in some places, don't know if they still do.). If you've never had any of the shakes, I discovered that…

Ooh that sounds interesting, thanks! Might investigate when my SlimFast runs out. I need 'easy' right now, but hopefully motivate me to eat less stodge and more green foods.

Thank you for the encouraging and positive responses. Telling me I have no-one to blame but myself - er, yes, I know that. I'm trying to do something about it but it's actually pretty hard when you are tired, demotivated and have nothing to look forward to to make the effort for. Like an awful lot of people I've had a…

/\"once I'm at my goal weight. I usually use MFP to keep within my calories". I'm not sure you have read and understood what I've written? I'm perfectly aware liquid meal replacements diets aren't a long term solution. I'm perfectly aware I could diet using the same calorie allowance for food as SlimFast can. Unfortunately…

As I said, it's a jumpstart for me to lose weight, not for ever. Maintenace calories are 1500 for me if I walk and exercise more, once I'm at my goal weight. I usually use MFP to keep within my calories. I'm shorter than you so harder to keep the pounds off without a lot of effort if I even want to eat nice food or have a…

Hi all, just to say I've done 30DS a couple of times (I got it for £5 from Amaz*n). Yes it was hard work and I couldn't walk for a couple of days when I first started, but I was so happy with the results it was worth it in the end. Plus I felt so much better and more energetic in myself. Ripped in 30 (again, £5) I didn't…

I booked in for a full body massage while on holiday once. It wasn't until my appointment that I realised the masseur was male. TBH, I felt very uncomfortable with this and I wouldn't have booked it if I'd known it was going to be a man. Nothing wrong with the massage, I just didn't feel comfortable and couldn't relax…

Thank you for your responses! I weigh myself when I stay at my boyfriend's house once a fortnight, so I'm using the same scales. I don't have any at home - should I get a decent set? My weight has stayed constant within a couple of pounds since July. My net calorie intake has risen since end of September, with me going…
