just had early dinner:

Quorn sausage 190
slimming world chips 120
milky bar 89
rice cake 40

which is about: 1227
Water: 4 Liters

theres nothing more in the house to eat, shall i have a slice of cheese and top up to 1400?

sorry for bugging everyone, but i really want this to work

I think you will find your DD easier if you do have that bit of cheese!!! Protein is ideal as well for staving off hunger pangs!

You can have up to 2000 on an up day! I find am always really hungry after a down day so eat plenty to get thru the next down day, u need the swing between both days to get your metabolism going, good luck

Thanks SP999, yesterday was a DD and I did my CD shakes,today I ate loads of food as it was my up day....but decided to finish at 5pm so that my DD will finish at 5pm and then just have the shakes.

Jilly I didn't manage to have the cheese as it had gone past 5, perhas next time.

Hi all just got weighed (halfway through my DD) and I have put on 2lbs........sticking to my CD packs today, planning on doing double DD's.
Let's see what happens tomorrow

I would say do alternates for a week then weigh hun.

Don't do a double down, you've just started. Know its hard coming from vlcd but give the plan a chance

I wouldn't advise a double down yet Hun, get in to the semi b if the diet first. Your weight fluctuates wildly on this diet, on my weigh in on Friday I was 11 5 and yesterday the day after it was 11 3 and today I'm 11 5 again!! I'm determined ill be 113 this Friday though xxx stick with the alternates xx

Thanks Rebekah and Welshmamma.....ok I'm gna try and be brave. Its really frightening actually because I have really struggled to lose this weight.

Today so far 1 shake and 1 porridge from CD..4 hours till my UD!

Sorry another question...if I were to extend my DDs from 5pm to 5pm (24) to say 5pm monday to wednesday 9am (40 hours) Tuesday being the DD would that make much of a difference?

Hope it all makes sense.

Sorry pls ignore the last question. Its been answered in another post, thank you welshmama!!

An Hour to go!

All done, here commences my 2nd up day!
