Beelishy's VLCD Weight Loss Adventure!!

Decided to just order chocolate shakes. I didnt want to have my shake this early because I dont want it yet and I tend to get hungry/want something later in the day. So I decided to just stick with chocolate for this next week. I have tons of extra shakes anyway because I ordered a mix of choc and vanilla ones and I ordered an extra 7 for my 5th pack, which Im not having now (having a salad mid-day, instead) so its fine. So Ive placed my order. £29.12 with free shipping for a weeks worth at 4 packs a day. So much cheaper!

Im going to go crack on with some laundry before I get the girls their breakfast. Feeling great today :)
 
Well, they use the same suppliers, so really...theyre just about the same. I didnt notice any difference in anything other than the spicy spag (which they call spag bol) ....but its not a bad different...just different (and slightly, at that). Its just soooo much cheaper for essentially the same thing. The only thing is you cant add bars to your bundles, theyve gotta be ordered separately...but Im not bothered about bars anyway. Theyre not particularly filling for me. :D
 
i believe she makes the pancakes by making the porridge pack with as little water as possible... so it's likea thick paste... then you flatten it on some baking paper and microwave it ... it'll dry out a little bit and become a pancake! :D

Something I used to also do with my LL packs years ago, but I generally prefer the porridge as it is :)
 
I use Lou's recipe. An oatmeal pack, a splash of water and an egg and you whisk it all together. Then dry fry it in a pan. Nice. I may try it, like Minerva said, without the egg tomorrow and see if it holds because its a bit spongey. But nice, still!
 
Aaah, it'll be better with the egg for sure - just on LL we weren't allowed anything apart from the 4 packs! :) And microwave was the only way to go - or you'd lose the pack!

So, 1 egg, some sweetner (maybe), a little water and the pack? Sounds quite nice :)
 
Or you could add cinnamon! I looove cinnamon to spice up my porridge sometime. :D Or if one of those companies sell water flavouring - I used to really like the Berry one... imagine berry pancake... mm.. sounds tasty :)

OR! How about egg-white and chocolate pack pancake?
 
You're doing great!

Brilliant idea just ordering a week at a time - I'm going to sort of copy this and just leave out a week's worth of packs and put the rest away and just try to do that one week before thinking about going any further

It's the never-ending-ness of the task that makes it seem so impossible sometimes!!

well done for getting back on it though, you seem to be having no trouble at all! :)

Lou, going a week at a time has really helped, I think. Im also just in the zone in my head.....which is something, for me at least, thats either there or not. I cant force it if im not there. I have my hols back home Im working towards and more than anything I really really reeeeaalllyyy DO NOT WANT A BELT EXTENDER on the flights. Its one of the worst things. And I want to fit reasonably comfortably in the godawful , so-not-made-for-tall-people-like-me (and worse for my 6'5" hubby!!) seats. Secondary to that, I havent seen my mother in 6 years. Over 6 years. And she has never met my children. (Looooooooooooooooong story short, we fell out, BIG STYLE). And Im going to see her (and stay at her house! which I havent done in 9 years!) and I just to be not such a disappointment. When I say that, it sounds a lot worse than I mean it. I know Im not a disappointment to my mother......anymore. I grew up most of my life feeling like I was. I felt like she was embarrassed and diappointment by me. Im a big girl now. And Ive gotten to the point that 1) I dont CARE if those things happened to be true and 2) I kinda called her on it recently and she has completely changed her tune ( I guess 6 years of no contact did the trick, eh?). Anyway. Im blabbering. The point is...Im focused on ONE week at a time, first and foremost. Then my "semi-long-term" goal is my holiday (40 days!!! So excited I could puke!) and then, my final goal is WHENEVER THE HELL I GET THERE (but preferably before Tabitha starts high school lol). I have my eye on my 35th birthday, this year (11th of Sept) but I will just do the best I can while still living my life in the meantime. :D

Anyway. Blabber over.

Yes, one week at a time. :D haha
 
Wow. That's a biggie! And something definitely to look forward to. I was thinking of buying packs one week at a time but in reality I know how busy and forgetful I am and I rather not risk forgetting to order my packs and having to go without. So far I've been quite good, slowly chipping in on my stash.
I bet your kids must be excited about meeting their grandma soon!
 
Right, winding down day 3 back on plan. Today was fine too. I really want a banana lol But Im coping (haha!) Otherwise....no problems so far. Had my water and coffee when I got up. Then pancakes with an oatmeal pack. Then a quorn salad. Then a boiled egg. Then a vanilla shake. Then a chili pack with cauliflower. Im going to have my bar (last) bar soon as its 7pm now. Hubby has gone to the hospital. So Im going to take the girls in to bed to watch some telly at 8.

Hope everyone has had a good day! :D
 
Morning! Day 4

I wasnt going to weigh but I was too curious...seeing as Im doing this diet my own way (having more veg and more protein than it says we should, plus the 4 packs. Im also having Coke Zero and a bit of milk in my coffee and sweeteners)...and Im down to 258! Lower than I was when I went off SnS! So thats 5lbs. I dont know if Im in ketosis. Or if I will even go into Ketosis. My calories are usually around the 900 per/day mark but not sure about my carbs. Theyre low, I know that...but not sure what. I havent bothered to try to work it out. lol. Anyway....something I was saying to Lou is that we all need to remember that, of course, we want to be slim. But really...the main goal is to be healthy. And however we get there, is great! We need to remember that we are human and try to not beat ourselves up for things. Diet-wise and otherwise. I had forgotten about something I watched a few months ago...which I really liked (and understood). Why You Got Fat - YouTube

Anyway. Im going to head out with the girls today. Going to pick up some veg and eggs and pay a bill (ugh. lol)

I hope everyone has a great day and I hope you all have a bit of the glorious sunshine that we've had the last 2 days! Its so good for the soul! :D
 
hey Bee you're sounding so positive and doing so great! go girlfriend!!

you have the same birthday as my sister and my kitten :D:D my next birthday is 35 too :(:(:( but not until next Feb

Sounds like you have the 'mental' part of this in order at the moment, which is 99% of the battle - can't wait to see the results in 40 days time :D:D:D

And thanks for the link to that video, it is great, I'm going to watch it again later and order the 'good calories bad calories' book off amazon if it's cheap.

Hope you have some more sunshine today! it was trying to snow here yesterday brrrrrrrrr
