Anyone tried or is doing shake that weight vlcd?

[deepink]

Good morning, I am having 4 shakes a day and I'm finding it difficult to finish all as I'm not feeling hungry! I am going to the shops now to buy lots of water bottles so that I can refill daily. I feel like I want to eat ,I think I should have a bar as well, what ones should I buy? I will also buy the boullion while I'm out. Thanks for all your help. Pink

 

[jeanette78]

I have 2 shakes and a bar, one at breakfast, then a bouillon at 1.30, the my bar at about 4 ish (however long i can last out lol) then my last shake at about 7.30 ish. I have Slimfast meal replacement bars, not snack ones, i know you are not supposed to have them, as it takes you out of ketosis, but shake that weight don't do bars, but i haven't had any problems, i take a multi vitamin tablet as well. But don't let me advise you, it up to you

It's all go isn't it today. I've walked into town for a mooch around and a decaf. I was looking at the carb count on the meal bars and that is 28gm carbs. That is an awful lot. I had it for breakfast with me walking so can burn it off

It has also made me feel hungry my stomach has been hunger grumbling since 1.30. Going to see how it affects my weigh in before I decide whether to continue on them.

Pink I just kept the bottles I used when out be the coke or Pepsi or water as long as they where 500 ml or more.

Ok been out got everything and going to try to keep to diet! Just been out with a friend for coffee/lunch ! Had to decline food so she did the same,is there anything that we can eat if in a pub or restaurant? Or is it too soon to be thinking about real food?
Im enjoying the shakes more than I thought I would! I don't like bananas and that's my favourite. Tried making chocolate one hot,was a disaster! Hope boullion will be good for a hot drink.

If you have to have a meal out, chicken and a green salad is about the best i think.

Jax, had a look and Cambridge/exante diet bars and they are approx 16g carbs

 

[Jaxkar7]

Hi all my feet are killing I put on a different trainer today. So wont be using them for long walks again! I dnt know much about the bars from Cambridge or xante I know that Atkins are low in carbs but not sure of calories. The reason I ate it this morning was so I had plenty of energy for the walking and plus I burn it off.

Yes Pink when you eat out go for the protein like chicken or steak with salad. No dressings or mayo. If its a burger no bun or fries.

I got myself a long black wrap skirt in the sale at Debenhams. They only had 18s but I can move the buttons and make new button holes. Bargain at 8 quid.

I know what you mean about new shoes, you realise the pain they can cause. Good jax about your skirt, good price. It won't be long that you will be altering it back.

Went to the Hairdressers this afternoon, couldn't put up with colour any longer, all wish washy feel so much better now.

Hi all, using small water bottles is working really well. I'm not very good with doing exercise, I try and walk a little bit every day but not always able to. I really need to up the exercise and if I'm going to try and walk more will need to buy some comfortable trainers as I have a weak knee and need to be careful. Thanks for the advice about eating out, I quite often meet friends for lunch so will be good to be able to eat. Not seeing much difference in clothes fitting me as they were all very tight! Hopefully will be buying new bits soon.

 

[jeanette78]

Glad to see that the bottle trick is working lol, it suits me as well, as i find drinking the water hard.

I don't do a lot of exercise either, also have a bad knee lol. MY back has bee aching lately though, above the waist, each side, if i was a horse they would shoot me

 

[deepink]

Same here, my back playing up. That's another reason I wanted to lose weight! Hope it will take the strain of my back and knee! All in all today has been a good day and I cooked dinner for the family and didn't want any! Feeling good and hoping will carry on.

 

[jeanette78]

good for you, don't you feel all righteous? roll on the next stone

Morning all

So we all have a gammy leg mine is my right one. I have a scar from hip to knee broke my thigh bone at the top and just above the knee and had to get plates put in. Was advised plenty of exercise of the walking/biking variety but no running.

I wore my Adidas trainers yesterday but they have hard soles have been wearing my old running trainers for walking going to stick with them.

So what colour is your new hairdo Jeanette?

Pink it is hard to get by when you have a family to feed. Tom my husband was home when I had just started the shakes. It drove me demented. Steaks chips bacon butties full breakfasts!

Usuallyif you plan to have a small bottle of water every 2 hours will take you to your quota of 4 litres.

Today Clyde is going out with pack leader (Dom) for a coast walk with the mutt crew and I'm off to the dentist. No what I rather do ha ha x little fella will be going out once a week with him till we go in holiday. It's so he gets used to him properly before his holiday stay.

I finished off the bathroom last night and put all the new bits and bobs in. Then realised that I would need a bath! Doh idiot! So could do it and instead settled for soaking my aching feet in the bucket . Dirty cow ha ha x

 

[jeanette78]

mine is right one as well. Think mine is arthritis, as knee is larger than my other one and a lot less flexible. have to watch especially at night in bed not to bend it too long, as woke up the other morning in agony, couldn't straighten it for ages, due to pain

My hair is a warm brown with copper highlights, or are they lowlights lol not quite the same with a bucket lol

Off to town today, so will talk later.

 

[deepink]

I have a dodgy left leg, dr wanted me to have an op but decided against it as he said if I lost weight that could make a difference. I have been told to walk, use a bike or go swimming!
it is really difficult trying to diet when the rest of the family need to eat,my oh has recently lost a stone just giving up chocolate and biscuits! So he now eats healthy foods as does our daughter. He is very good and is doing a lot of cooking while I do something else! The trick with the water is brill,you really don't realise that you are drinking so much.
sounds like we are all looking forward to going away,I can't wait to have some nice weather! It's quite depressing at the moment,I'm always cold!
All have a nice day,going out now,will talk later.

I put my hoodie on to go to the dentist in town. It was ok going but coming home up the bloody hills thought I was going to pass out with heat stroke it's ok walking in as its a virtual up hill straight away the the next 1.5mile is a gradual slope down to town. So coming home is uphill all the way. It's getting better just think was the hoodie that nearly killed me off.

Your doing well pink. It's the actual not eating that's the hardest thing. I cook Clyde's tea everyday either fish/chicken with veg. Lucky bugger. I've told Jeanette that there are days when I want to scoff it myself especially when he walks away from it!

Tom does cook but I won't let him as he makes such a mess. Everything gets used.

Jeanette your hair sounds similar to mine only I have caramel lowlights and an asymmetric bob. Will get my cut/colour end of the month. Then just before we go away.

 

[jeanette78]

I know, its very close here, but rainy, had to put my umbrella up all day in town, mostly it was that drizzle that seems nothing but you get soaked lol.

Was going to wait till just before i went away for colour but couldn't wait, will now just have a cut and blow dry just before holidays instead.

Bought some new cropped trousers, look nice but slightly showing my belly, so will really have to watch from here on in . they fit ok everywhere else, so as long as top isn't too short, should be ok.

 

[deepink]

Freezing here ,going to put the heating on again! Have been good today so far,bought steak for family so might just have a little. Have huge blisters on both heels so in great pain today, didn't walk very much.i haven't had my hair done for ages,will need to book before hols. Usually have blonde and copper highlights.going to make a nice hot black coffee.

 

[jeanette78]

Its gone very cold here as well now, just put the heating on as well, in June!!!! i think its warmer outside than in the house lol.

You'll have to get some comfortable shoe/sandals. I have odd feet, so if they aren't comfortable when i try them on. i don't buy them, had to much trouble in the past

Watch with the food, as if you have a taste, it can set you off,

 

[deepink]

True I'm already thinking I will just have a shake. So cold had to have hot bath to warm up! Is really silly weather, makes you wonder why we're buying summer clothes. I wonder if the other ladies that were waiting for their shakes will come back? I'm finding it so helpful to have support from you both.
Im beginning to organise bits for my holiday, I'm hoping I will be in a size smaller( I have tons of them!) I don't really want to be this big on the beach, wish I'd started a lot earlier, but never mind at least started!

 

[Jaxkar7]

Hello ladies

It's been pleasant here been looking like rain but never done anything but when the sun has been out v warm.

I'm glad I went back to my other trainers. As I've walked 8k today. I feel sorry for you pink nothing worse than blisters. I dnt possess any ordinary shoes only 19 pairs of trainers! 2 pairs of dress boots and 3 pairs of flat sunshine sandals and proper walking shoes. I can't walk with anything more than a 2" heel for more than an hour and it was the same before my accident. You would think with Tom being over 6ft I could wear anything high

I agree with Jeanette about the eating you will not feel the benefit properly
